E-Cigarettes - The original thread

I was thinking about this, but when I found out they still contained chemicals, I just went cold turkey instead. About two months now, just under. Going well.

Yeah gota avoid those chemicals, so water and ...no wait! water has chemicals, that Dihydrogen monoxide cant be good.
Only playing with you! Good work on leaving the smoking behind.

Just pulled the trigger on an Ego-C starter pack!

I didn't know there was so many options out there, been puffing on smokegreen's jobbies for the past 2 months.

They obviously work all the same, as I've not touched a real cig in 63 days now [keeping track via quit.ie] - I was very surprised when I checked it this morning. Smoked for 25 years, I forced myself to get a smokegreen starter pack because my breathing had gone brutal and I have other health issues.

No matter what people say about e-cigs/vaping, anything is better than inhaling 4000+ god-knows-what chemicals from cigarettes. ANyone who can do it without aid, fair play, don't see why they need to slam something they've not needed or tried ... but I'm looking forward to trying this alternative. I also ordered some flavoured juices to kick me off

Seems a nice easy to follow and order from site.

Is that the cartridge starter pack? I tried that and failed miserably, it was only the T2s that put me off real fags.

I bought the misses a 510 Starter Kit from ezsmoke.ie back in September, she was doing great for about 6 weeks, then she fell off the wagon. I blame half of it on her always forgetting some component of her ECig (usually not charging the battery) or her stupid bleeding friends asking her "do you want a real fag" :rolleyes:.

She's had the flu the last few days and couldn't smoke at all so shes taking this opportunity to give the ECigs another shot. 1 of the atomizers is gone, and the one she's using now is on the way out, is ezsmoke.ie still a good site to go to ?, I need a new atomizer but will probably buy a whole new 510 + charger to keep in my gaff so she doesn't forget.

Edit: Why do the warranty's for all the atomizers say Dead On Arrival ?

Yes ezsmoke is still a great site to order from. I order from a few different sites, but will be putting in an order from ezsmoke soon. Declan the fella that runs it is sound.

This is a question for the original poster, I was just wondering seems its now almost 3 years since you started this thread, how are you getting on, have you touched a tobacco cigarette since and do you feel better for having made the switch? The info is probably somewhere in here but 165 pages is a lot to go through :-)

From the FAQ thread:

Is this a good method to give up real cigarettes?
Well in my case time will tell. I have smoked 20 a day for the last 23 years approx. and have never succeeded in stopping for more than a couple of days. My original plan was to buy an e-cigarette and see if I could reduce my real cigarette consumption to 2 or 3 a day. I have so far been successful in not smoking any. 18 months and counting at time of posting. * 3 years as of Jan 2013

On the vid five years ago one lad had a table set up with about fifty different shiny yokes, mech mods, etc. Would put up a link if I could find it or was able to put up links ;-)

Must get myself a man bag :-)

They should raise their nic-level. Less sucky-sucky.

I don't find this at all personally. With e cigs you take puffs constantly, every few minutes say. So people think you where on them constantly.

With a normal cig, you take 20 puffs, but in a short space of time, so you where only 'on them' for a minute or two.

Does that makes sense?

RossFixxxed, thanks a million for coming back to me. Think I will take a trip to Gardiner Street then...was at my cousin's wedding last weekend and am not joking everyone was on the electronic cigs...although have to say they were sucking on them constantly...is this good or bad I don't know but got to be better than the real thing;)

Yeah, to be honest, I'm not convinced at all they are healthy, but it would be a challenge to be worse than the cigarettes!

You do use it more on some occasions, but then I find times where I'd have a cigarette a puff or 2 usually suffices.

I go through a battery every 2 - 3 days and a 10 ml bottle of juice every 3 - 4 weeks myself! I don't vape all that much, but you do have it in your hand more and the puffs are equivalent to a drag on a ciggie....

I think as a rule smoking bad, anything else less bad!

The shop is good, it's easy enough to find and there's a big banner outside. I found it nice to talk to someone and look at all the stuff. FYI I'm using an ego-c 650 mah battery (they have loads) with a few 5 euro clearomisers (I just took whatever they had) and it's not got me off the fags, but I've cut down a LOT when I use it. I got a spare charger to leave in the office too so I've no excuse not to use it. I'm using Cognac Tobacco Ovale juice and just go one called Avana tobacco which initially was gross but it's growing on me a lot

Try a few different things, a clearomiser a tank and a cartomiser maybe? If you hate one you can try the next and get to know the bits and bobs. It IS worth it, but tearing myself away from the analogues is proving tougher than expected. Almost like it was addictive....

650mah a day here.

Actually a 10 ml bottle every 4 weeks is probably wrong on my part. If I was consistent probably every 2 weeks, but I fall off the vaping wagon a few days here and there a month.

I physically couldn't empty a 1.8 ml clearomiser in a day. I'm stealth vaping at my desk, it's 16mg liquid... Maybe I need stronger or something?

I just can't vape that much. I don't need a huge amount of pulls before I've had enough of it. BUT I am still having the first smoke in the morning, a couple on lunch and one waiting for the bus... So there's a bad trade off there.

Maybe I need some new kit or something!

You clearly need to up that to 24mg.
