Hi all, I discovered e-cigs by accident almost when playing on Xbox Live of all things!
A friend of mine mentioned he was waiting for his e-cig to charge and of course I was like WTF did you say? Haha, so anyway lately (the last year or so) I have been working through mentally preparing myself to begin reducing how much a I smoke with an end goal of quitting completely.
It was doing my head in because I still enjoy the act of smoking, its been part of my life since about the age of 13 (I am 38) and my life sadly did revolve around the addiction.
So I spoke to this friend of mine about the basics and what he uses and why and did some research only to find out that we cant be sold nicotine carts here in New Zealand, wtf is up with that!!!
I made a decsion to check it out, found a retailer who sells the really basic ones and is somehow selling them with the 16mg dosage?? I bought one and a couple of the 5 packs of cartomisers.
Since then (2 days ago) I have dropped from about 25 analogs to about 3 instantly, I just dont want analogs and my wife is absolutely floored with this out of the blue change and said she never thought she would see the day that I gave up smoking (not quite, but very close) and to be honest neither did I.
The basic one I am using at present needs constant recharging and the carts dont last long at all, at present I am going through 2 a day@ $4 each, this makes it more expensive than roll your own tobacco, and in NZ a 50gram pack of tobacco costs about $48 NZ, crazy expensive now!
I bought the basic one to try it out, I knew from the first draw this was revoloutionary, so I will keep the cheaper one, and once my order arrives will begin lending it to friends that smoke so they can judge for themselves.
I ended up buying an ego-t and all the fruit and probably enough juice samples to last 3-4 months for about the cost of smoking for about a month. Cant wait for my order to arrive
I have never smoked so little for so long (2.5 days lol) and can feel the difference already!!!!
Nobody warned me it may end my love affair with tobacco, and I really dont mind, in fact I am excited I can smoke without the smoke!!!
