OT...... Anyone use electronic cigarettes?

[VanGogo]

Need to stop smoking in my house as of recently, which has seriously hampered my Controllerism practice, etc. I think us smokers like the nicotine while being creative, and having to stop, go outside, etc is a pain, and breaks up the flow.

This has led me to try electronic cigs. I have one ordered and on the way after much research, and I am actually excited to try this out. I have read a lot of posts from ex smokers who say they didn't plan on quitting real cigs, but ended up quitting after getting an e-cig.

Anyone here use them? And if so, what is your take on these things?

I ordered one just so I could quit and it just didn't do it. The warmth just isn't there. The smoke is also very thin, but the taste is there. IDK, it works for some and not for others. Unfortunately I'm the latter. I ended up giving it away.

Had one and thought it was quite good,though one night I left it charging and the next morning when I came down I could smell burning!The top had melted off the e-cigarette and scorched the book it was sitting on!! :eek: So I gave up the fake cigarettes too!!I always meant to mail the company but never got round to it!!

I've got a few for when I'm out.
I tend to mix n match 901, 510 and Tornado parts, for best results. Not tried the new wick or reservoir attys yet, I'm gonna pick some up next time I need some spares tho as that's the weak link imo topping them up all the time.
Red Bull and Ruyan4 are my fav flavours.

i have a 510 im slowly weening myself off analogs .. i have the refillable kind and catridge, tried both vg and pg based .. its really up to your taste ... the vapor is different than the smoke vapor so it takes a while to get used to... i really enjoy the blu cig atomizer cartidges, their menthol flavor is yummy

Ha analoges funny,a mate used to call them mechanical! " would you like a cigarette?..... mechanical or electrical? " the first time he asked me that question I'd never even heard of an electrical one !

speak with xtianw he's a big fan of them

Thanks for the replys!

I did get to try a couple of puffs at a local store and was impressed enough to look into e cigs. The flavor was menthol though which I don't like, but it was very close to smoking.

I decided on the Bloog MaxxFusion because it has rave reviews, and is very close in size to a real cig. I'm trying to make the transition as smooth as possible. Lol.
