LifeIsBrief Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 I quit smoking 3-6 months ago (I can't even remember, that's how good these things are), when I got a starter kit from mtbakervapor.com This is not the cheapest place to buy an e-cig, it just happens to be an American company, not owned by a tobacco conglomerate, that makes absolutely delicious nicotine juice. I'm sure there is a Canadian equivalent, for Canadians who care about buying localish, I just wanted to mention them, because they have an insane selection of really unusual, and insanely tasty juices, that are the reason I quit smoking. Days after having a new E-cig, I never thought about a cigarette again, and now I'm slowly going from high nicotine content to 0. I smoked half a pack a day, for years. Eventually I may quit entirely, but I might keep vaping occasionally just for the taste, or to stop useless snacking. Already, I go hours, without even thinking about my addiction, and that never happened when I was still smoking traditional tobacco products. If you love someone who smokes cigarettes, even though they may be a bit off put by you intervening with their habit, I truly believe this is the most wonderful Christmas gift you could possibly give them. A starter kit at this website (which is a bit expensive), and 5 juices (which are not), will run you about 70 bucks, and last them for months. I truly believe that if health insurance covered these devices, those companies, and the taxpayer, would save literally billions of dollars. In America, it's illegal to advertise these as a smoking cessation tool, because the research is still out on their harm... but they are one, the best one. If you want to spend 70 dollars (or 40-50 at a cheaper site, again, this isn't an advertisement), on a person you love, who smokes cigarettes this Christmas (I know we're mostly atheists, but it's a capitalist holiday, lol)... This is the coolest gift you could possibly give them. You may actually save their life.
SoberEnough Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 I tried electronic cigarettes when I attempted to quit smoking and absolutely hated them. I smoke Lucky Strikes so to me it was like trying to smoke a wet, filtered cigarette through a wine cork.
LifeIsBrief Posted December 1, 2013 Author Posted December 1, 2013 Every person is different... 10-15 filtered cigarettes a day, is a relatively small habit, compared to some... but, I would suggest that they've gotten better, if it's been awhile since you tried them. Variable voltage, and high nicotine content juices really give you that harsh awesome throat hit, if it's what you're looking for. It's always amazing to hear different peoples experience though, because a couple of my friends had the same experience as I did, instantly quitting. One felt exactly the same way you do. People are a strange, and complex variable. Still, if the person you buy it for, has the same experience I did, I can't imagine them not thinking it was the best gift they ever received. Worst case scenario, it's an awkward, lame, hookah substitute, but I can't imagine them not appreciating the effort.
Naer Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 ecigs aren't the same feeling as regular ones. unfortunate really
Aaron727 Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 ecigs don't slowly kill you so whats the point?
LanceD Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 I first tried E cigs a few years ago and the Njoy disposable I had was terrible. Then a while back I picked up one of the Njoy King disposables and that thing was fucking glorious! It led me into researching which brand I wanted to stick with long term, I chose Bull Smoke, and I'm now a dedicated E cig smoker. So much so that the last tobacco cig I had almost made me throw up. So don't be afraid of the cost of some of the starter kit costs, even though my Bull Smoke kit only cost $30, because the new Njoy disposables are cheap and awesome ways to see if an E cig may be enjoyable for you.
