Where I work there are a lot of smokers (high tech lot of young guys) so we're smoking a lot. Anyway so one of the guys ordered one of these things and my first thought was yeah right and electronic cigarette like that's going to be any good. light on the end that's just lame.
Still he came by my desk later with it to show it to me I took a couple drags and was like well ok maybe.
So I hit the ole google and started doing some reading. Unfortunantely I didn't find this site until after I'd finally decided that the unknown dangers of an e-cig were unlikely to be worse than the known dangers of a real smoke and ordered one. Luckily my co-worker had ordered from puresmoker.com so I just went there and ordered mine from Cash.
I got a penstyle classic silver with a blue led (figured if I was going to be smoking it in places that weren't freindly to smoking it would be best if it looked as little like a real cigarette as possible)
Now I'm not sure if this will work for everyone. But I've been smoking 20 years and I'd promised my wife back before we had children that I'd stop, I've been trying but I've had limited success. I've tried the patch I tried chantix (which actually worked fairly well until I stopped the chantix then I was right back on the killer leaf)
What I've come to accept is that I like smoking I like the action I like the hanging out with smokers shooting the breeze. What I don't like is the coughing the smelling like ... the dirty looks my wife gives me, the shortness of breath and the behavior I'm modeling for my children.
I ordered my penstyle on the 1st of January after procrastinating looking for a local supplier wish I'd just ordered online from jump since 2 days later the package is sitting on my front porch when I get home (delivered on a monday shipping email was sent on Saturday) Read the instructions about the batteries seems these weren't sent out charged so the instructions were to charge them for 12 hour so I plugged in my chargers (had ordered an extra) and went about my business until the next morning.
I had bought a pack of cigarettes on Sunday the 1st of Febuary, I probably smoked half that pack on monday (ok I'd actually bought 2 packs on sunday but smoked some of that pack on sunday) by the end of that week I had one last cigarette left in the pack (that's 9 cigarettes over 4 days) and that cigarette is still sitting in that pack in my car a week and a half later.
The last real smoke I had I was like "why the hell am I doing this it tastes like crap.
Now I'm just hoping that my Riskee
juice gets here before I run out of e-juice (kept delaying my order in the hopes that Steve would get more penstyle parts in)
One final point for those considering this when you order go ahead and order two kits since you're going to want the security of spare parts anyway.
