Tell us why you tried E-cigs!!

[VelvetVisions]

Hey blackopz, where you located?

My oncologist made me do it

Did the doctor recommend an ecig? Or just quitting smoking.
My oncologist knew nothing of the ecig or pretended not to.
There is no incentive for him to recommend an ecig. No revenue or kickback.

The recent government tax increase motivated me. Within the past year, I tried quitting smoking on my own, Chantix, and the patch and failed. A friend who had heard of e-cigs and told me about them. I was instantly able to cut down from 1.5-2 packs/day to 1/2 pack/day, and after a month I am almost off of analogs.

I was a die-hard heavy smoker, over 2 packs a day for 40 years! My niece, 19 years old, lives with me and started smoking. It upset me greatly. I didn't want her to go where I've been, but there was no talking her out of it.

She asked me one day if we could get her a vaporizer, and she showed it to me on the internet. I took one look at it and recognized it as drug paraphenalia, but I didn't tell her no. We sat down together and searched on vaporizers and personal vaporizers.... and found e-cigs.

Long story short, I ordered DSE801's for both of us, and lots of flavors of liquids. She quit analogs immediately and I almost did. They arrived on April 20. Yesterday I had 2 analogs, and today none.

I can breathe so much better, don't get winded when I go up stairs, can walk a whole lot farther, feel better, no coughing in the middle of the night or when I wake up.

Life is SO much better. I thought I was doing it for her, but it has benefitted me GREATLY.

I'm a very happy vaper.

yea, I'd tried all of the stuff that was supposed to help you quit..The chantix I was told made your cigs taste bad = you don't want one.. I had to laugh, I said, gf I've been switching brands off and on since I was 14..I no longer can taste..Do ya really think that would stop me? lol

Besides, as a heavy smoker of ultra lights. I knew it was the hand to mouth habit that had me bad..Not the nic.... I was on my way to work one morning and a girl called into a popular radio show talking about how 2 of her family members had quit using the "electronic cig" ..Bells went off in my head...I raced home, hit the net searching and landed here....

so I could continue to 'smoke' in bars. Quitting was an unforeseen and unintended consequence.

I didn't plan to quit cigarettes. After the cost skyrocketed I found out about E-cigs from my brother. I bought the Npro looking to just cut back.
Totally quitting was a side effect.

Because I hate everything about cigarettes except playing with the smoke and destressing. I hate the smell, and my girlfriend hates the ashtray mouth. but smoking is where my mind automatically goes when i am upset or overworked. (all day everyday :-/ lol) so I am hoping these will hit the spot, and be more enjoyable for me.

I also, did not plan on totally quitting. I actually enjoyed smoking. Or thought I did. I bought my penstyle thinking it would be a novel little gadget that maybe, just maybe would take the edge off while I was with my grandchildren, as my daughter (their mom) hates the smell of smoke on the kids.

I enjoyed the tastes of the different flavored liquids so much that I did not even miss the "real" things. Now I can not stand the taste of a "real" one at all. And it has only been about 3 weeks!
