Where did you first hear about E-Cigarettes?

[StayOutOfTrees]

Hello friends,

I was wondering where everyone was first introduced or heard about e-cigarettes from?

Funny thing with me is the first place I heard about e-cigs was like from one of those little you-know-its-a-scam advertisements on a website I was reading. Sure glad I saw that ad and then actually started to research PV's and found this forum.

So how was everyone else introduced to e-cigs?

I can't quite remember but I think I saw an advertisement on tv. That was probably a 2 years ago. Here in the US they weren't popular, still aren't as far as I know. Although this site sort of proves it's becoming big in the US, at least in the underworld.

I was listening to Rush Limbaugh and an ad came on for "Smoke Assasin" ... the ad was cheesy as all get up but it made me wonder about it. Did some research, bought a $16 Health e-smoke kit (which was terrible but showed a possibility) that made me think there might be something to this stuff. A little research found this site, and I decided on the 510 and have never looked back.

Thanks everyone!

We'd tried the Chantix, the patch, etc. when my wife saw an e-cig ad in some magazine that showed Leonardo DiCapprio vaping. I did a search on the internet and found SmokeStik (RN4081 model) and we ordered. Quit smoking analogs the day our SmokeStik order arrived in the mail and haven't had one since.

I thought I answered a thread like this before?

I found out about e-cigs from an article on fark.com when the court case was going on.

A friend told me about something a while ago, and I had no clue what she was talking about, but said they had them up at the smoke barn here in town. Then another friend told be about the blu e-cig and I looked at there website and thought...cool. Then I started my research and found this site and all the wonderful information and went with the 510 and now I'm a vapaholic, lol, and I want everything now, hehe.

When we were on vacation in late October, a friend had an electronic cigar. I was intrigued by it, so when we got home I started doing a little research and stumbled onto the ECF. A couple days later I ordered a kit from Vapor4Life, and that was that!

same as you stayout some stupid little ad online somewhere got me thinking about it..then i googled e cigarette and wound up here. i still don't know anyone else personally who has one even though i'm always extolling it's virtues to everyone.

belhade I'm a farker like you!

A few friends had posted (through blogs/twitter/facebook) about getting them. I looked into it and didn't have the funds at that time (not that I did this time either, but...)

Then my mom was handed one of the vapor4life cards by one of her patients and we started researching.

I saw a kiosk for the BluCig and bought a starter kit a year later. I found this forum and spent 3 days scouring it for reviews landed on the Prodigy V2 and have not turned back since.

I heard about it about 3 months ago from my brother in law, who heard about it on talk radio. Thereafter I bought the first e cig that I could find in town. Was not too thrilled with it, but could see the possiblities. After that I started re-searching, found this site, and became more educated. Now have the Janty ego, and really liking it.

My first expierence was about a year ago at a local tobacco shop and, of corse, it was a smoke anywhere. I ALMOST bought it on the spot cause I thought it was such a great idea. And the whole thing about the carts lasting for 1-2 packs of analogs I though I'd be able to save sooooo much money. Well about then I started thinking that this was too good to be true. Low and behold it was! After a few days of research it brought me here! I am so happy I found ECF! I wound up buying an NJOY NPRO (4081). I was very happy with this product but my new addiction started at this point! I started looking for whats new and better.... I'm now on a 510 and looking to step up to the Chuck or maybe venture into making something similar my self. My buddy (who I converted) is making pass-thru's and box mods now, hopefully we can make enough to start selling back to the wonderful community that got us started!

I heard a radio ad during the Bob and Tom show of some crazy product that would help one quit smoking by sucking in water vapor.

Research on the web revealed all the hype, the scams, and the Joye 510.

Got one and still working of finding the right juice, but already breathing better.

I always got my tobacco from lilbrown.com. I was checking prices there after the last money grab (tobacco tax) by our government, and I saw they were selling ecigs. A little research brought me here. That led to a 510, a box mod, and today a 905.

My husband was out with a friend who had one, and he came home & told me about it. I had never seen one, nor even heard of them, but I started my internet search then and there...found this forum, read all the recommendations, ordered the 510, haven't looked back !

I saw an internet ad for Blu somewhere in May 2009. Price seemed okay so I bought one without researching. I liked them, but they didn't get me off analogs...... until I discovered ECF and bought my first 901. Analog free since July 2009 and the rest is history.

Seen an ad for Blu on some website. Thought it was a weird idea... then come almost a year later I found out an old friend started vaping... did some reasearch.... and well yeah. Just vapin away. Smoke free.

Me, It was about a year ago. Saw something about how The FDA was going to come to our rescue and save all Americans in from a scam called e-cigarettes. In the news on my homepage. This peaked my interest but felt it was better to keep what little money I had in my pocket and not in some FDA warehouse. Me and tobacco are married, with adults. Thats how long this relationship has been going on. Honey, I want a divorce.
