I have been smoking Newports (pad) for 22 years. About 4 years ago I bought one of those "Smoke Anywhere" kits from a mall kiosk. By the time I left the mall I felt nauseous from the sample and never touched the thing. The guy wouldn't return it. I recently started to see those commercials for Blu Cigs with Stephen Dorff. I actually liked the guy in Blade and thought it was cool to see any type of "smoking" commercial on TV, so I picked up a disposable. It was okay, but nothing like a cigarette. I was going to get one of their premium kits, but then I found this place and realized that probably wasn't the best course of action. So, I found a store near me called VapeXcape (I highly recommend them. Prices aren't the best, but service that is second to none). They set me up with what I guess you would call a mini kit (the kind that sort of look like cigarettes). Cost is not a factor for me, and I was open to the bigger mods, although uncertain how comfortable I would be with those. The owner was adamant that I start with these until I get myself off the Newports, and then if I like it come back and start buying the other stuff. So I got a couple batteries, some cartos, tips, and three flavors. I started out with the menthol flavor to try to replicate what I smoked, but I'm finding I like the other flavors much more. I have a strawberries and champagne flavor that is really doing it for me.
Now I went into this looking to cut back on my smoking and have something that I can use in places where I can't smoke, namely Ravens and Orioles games, where the state just banned smoking anywhere in the stadium. I still have an almost full pack of Newports sitting here. It has been over 24 hours, and I find that I don't really want one. I'm not forcing myself not to smoke them. I've picked one up a couple times out of habit, but now even unlit, I think it smells a bit nasty. I consider lighting one up, but I just think that I would rather hit that e-cig. I hope it keeps up. I've tried to quit many times, but I become a miserable person. This almost seems too easy.
