what i like about ecigs, the real benifits

when i'm working and suddenly need a cig, i can just grab my ecig, take a a puff or two and continue, with a real cigarette i have to take 7 minutes to smoke it and usually forget where i was i my work..

when i am on the phone and need a cigarette i can just pick up my ecig, push the button and get my fix, not fumble trying to light a cig while holding the phone..

i can have 5 flavors of ecig available, not just Camel Full Flavor Filter..

my apartment is less smoke-bound..

no problem with getting rid of that smoking cigarette ......

no problem with waking up at three AM and needing a cig that i don't have

no more tipping a big full ashtray of butts onto the carpet

i can adjust the nicotine strength

no more getting a sore thumb trying to get the cigarette lighter to light

-----------------------------

on the other hand, the hype/lies/myths of using ecigs

a cartridge is equivilent to a pack of cigarettes or more ( more like 4 carts to a pack for $8 ) -- the great lie, the one that got most of us started on ecigs to begin with in this age of insanely high cigarette prices

if we can add to this

• No one knows what you were just doing when you sit down next to them.
• No more smoking in the rain and cold.
• No more comments about how I am killing myself (I am already getting nostalgic about those comments)
• No more running late because I need to drive 5 extra minutes to buy from my "cheapest place in the area" gas station.
• No more questions about when I am going to quit.
• No more guilt about throwing butts out my car window.
• No more stinky car.
• No more hiding cigarettes in my car from people I didn't want to know I smoke(d).
• No more anxiety about running out of cigarettes (to be replaced with ensuring I'm charged tho).
... and the list goes on

I don't have any cons that I can't get over. My biggest beef is batteries. But I am considering getting tethered via a power supply doohickey and/or getting a beefier device.

Yea.. I'm gonna say ditto to all of those..
Personally, I won't have to remember to have chew on me as well just in case i'm somewhere I can't smoke..
..so i woulda had lung cancer and a tumor in the face.. nice

yeah batteries

that's the reason i have ditched my 510 for my Hello 016 with two 1300mah batteries and for my MadVapes 2xAA Box Mod with three 900mah batteries, my boxmod is the lighter unit and rests on my little finger instead of having to grip it

E-cigs saved my quit! I was trying to quit with nicorette gum, but mornings were a killer! My daughter and her BF live with me and every day I would eye their smokes as I passed them on the patio when I left the house for work. Now I puff on my e-cig, and they are jealous! No more cough, no more stinky clothes and hair, and I just bought a nice smoke free brand new car.

I am learning more and more each day on the subject thanks to ECF. This forum is the greatest!

1: Cheaper than normal cigarettes by far!
2: No more stinkbreath. My girlfriend actually enjoys kissing me now!
3: No more hacking up a liter of lungbutter every few hours
4: I can satisfy my sweet tooth with a vape!
5: I'm a geek, and love my tech toys.
6: I love that I can now vape in my home guilt free. I always had to go outside before. No more standing in -10 degree weather braving horizontal sleet just to get my nicfix!
7: Best of all, I think, and my girlfriend agrees, no painful death due to lung cancer! I'm breathing easier, less stressed, etc It's awesome.

All of this far outweighs the cons of owning an e-cig. Yeah, batteries are always an issue, but I'm never without electricity so I don't have to worry about suddenly having no battery power, I'm investing in a passthrough soon as well, since I spend 16 hours a day in front of a computer. Problem solved!
