Been trying to kick the habit of smoking for quite a few years. Tried many methods but all fail ultimately. I've heard about ecig several years back but never really get into it as information wasn't readily available during then.

One day i was searching for some electronics on a china website and chance upon those brandless cig look-a-like ecig. Decided to give it a shot and I started with those. Had a great start and found out that i can keep off cigs easily with them. After that, i started to google to find better deals and found ECF. Never look back to smoking again ever since.

I tried gas station e-cigs a couple of time while trying to quit smoking. I ended up switching to snus but kept smoking a cig a day and a pack or two on the weekends. A friend bought a gas station e-cig and it made me think about trying it again. I hit up youtube and did some research and bought a Volt. Three weeks vaping, two weeks no snus or cigs.

I haven't actually started yet . . . First kit should be here tomorrow but actually was turned on to the idea by the store owner who I buy my smokes from. He is selling one ecig not sure which one he told me there was no nicotine and I instantly diregarded it. I bet he is going to be upset to lose a customer because his idea stuck did some research and am waiting to see how it goes. I am a gadget junkie so naturally was intriguied by the idea of an electronic cigarette.

I was called for jury duty. Watched some guy using a "lookes like a cig" ecig. When released, I followed him out to the parking lot. Ask him, what that thing was. I'd not seen them then. He told me what it was. I went home an looked them up on Internet. First purchase was the BLU, . .knew from the first drag that ecig could replace my tobacco usage. Neigh onto two years later, now using ProVari, Vivi Nova, and my own DIY 0Nic, 0FA, (Flavor Added), eLiquid. All that's left is the hand to mouth oral gratification fixation thingy for me. My DIY costs me bout $7.00 per month. I could buy a new ProVari every month and be way ahead of tobacco costs. JMHO

Cheers,

I started with a Blu kit a couple years ago, but it wasn't giving me the proper clouds i wanted... So i gave up... Recently my friend showed me an EGO with a DCT on it, and let me try his for a while, and i was re hooked, now i've got two Ego twist batteries and quite a few different clearomizers / Cartomizer tanks / etc , And have cut back on real cigarettes DRASTICALLY.

Someone heard I wanted to quite analogs and recommended e-cigs over accupuncture which I was first considering. So glad I listened. Didn't know anything about e-cigs, so went home and found smokenjoey.com. Next day went to Walgreens and bought a couple of Blu disposable e-cigs. Since then I have never gone back to analogs. Have progressed to Joyetech 510 and now vamping Ego-T Pass Through all within five weeks. Still searching for the perfect all day vape juice.

i was in vegas three years ago and there was a kiosk in old vegas. the guy got me try one, didn't feel anything. I bought a gas station e cig this june and it was not good and expensive to buy new cartomizers. Last week at work my boss showed off his new kgo with a tank. He let me try it, and it was better than analogs. I have some similar stuff in the mail. In the mean time i bought some e juice and learned that i could refill my cartomizers, despite the website saying you could not or should not. I have three batteries with two charging as they only last two hours. Now that i use a 24mg nic strength, and a flavor i like, I have been able to stay off analogs for three days, working on my fourth day. Looking forward to getting my entry level decent supplies tomorrow.

My neighbor was puffing what smelled exactly like Banana Moon Pie out of what looked like a cool ball point pen. Of course, I had to try it. LOVED IT and the very next stinky I lit, tasted awful. I borrowed his back-up and some juice until my starter kit came in. NEVER looked back.

Post Script~ Now that I have discovered new flavors, I can't stand Banana Moon Pie! LOL

I have no idea why I decided to buy a "Blu" disposable, while standing in line at a Walgreen's drugstore last February.

That Blu disposable wasn't the greatest, but it was good enough to make me realize this could really work! I soon bought a couple better set-ups... now been over 6 months, totally ciggie free

I tried a cheap e-cig over a year ago, one that looked just like a regular cigarette and was never satisfied. I gave me a headache from sucking so hard to get any vapor and never satisfied my nicotine needs, so I went back to analogs. Then a few months ago someone was selling an Ego starter kit ant carton tank real cheap. I said why not. 2days later I was hooked and started buying more mods and tanks upgrading my setup. Doubt I'll ever see a savings but I'm login it.

My good friend got an ecig (he smoked and chewed on occasion but deffiniately not addicted, it was more in his head). I made fun of him for months while he begged me to try one. He couldn't convince me so he talked to my mom (who had been trying to get me to quit also). Next thing I know she got me my own joye ego 100 mah battery with a 510 atty. Man do I still feel stupid to this day, almost 5 months later. I just moved on up to a ovale v8 and loving it.
