Got my e-cig starter kit yesterday and...

I friggin' love it! I was literally amazed at how well the product does what it says it does. I thought almost for sure that it would be like smoking an ultra light cigarette or something but I nearly coughed with my first drag of the e-cig.

I took in a big drag because I thought it wouldn't satisfy me taking a regular hit but it really does. I am also quite impressed with how much "vapor" is produced. You would swear that I was smoking a real cigarette but am not. You know what it was? It was like smoking a filter less cigarette, that's how strong they are and so I cannot believe that it is not a real cigarette.


Now I bought this electronic cigarette kit from a seller in Hawaii because it said that the vapor intake had been modified so you receive a more natural feeling drag, so this might be why it really does feel like a real smoke.

I have been smoking for about 17 years and today I haven't had one cigarette. I don't feel like I missed anything. I do not feel agitated. One thing that I did notice is that when I felt like I preferred the electric cigarette to the tobacco smoke, I realized I really was addicted to nicotine. The image of the lab rats going crazy over nicotine water is how I felt. I really wouldn't have known that I was that dependent on nicotine.

All this time I thought that it was the habit that was hard for me to break. The habit that I have a hard time breaking is what I do and where I go while smoking. I still take my e-cig outside because I like to go outside to have a little peace and quite. So that is still the same, something that I think I do not because I need to smoke but because I just want to get away.

Anyways. I got the two piece kit because I wanted my bf to try it too and he did. He said the only thing is that it is sorta harsh and his co-workers are making fun of him. Either way, he did manage to go today with only four tobacco cigarettes and the rest of the day he had the e-cigarette.



I am also pretty impressed with how long the batteries stay charged. I charged mine last night and have probably smoked the equivalent of about 6 cigarettes on the same cartridge and the same charge. I was sorta thinking that I would run out of nicotine on the cartridge after a half pack but it is still going pretty strong. So I can say that 1 cartridge (for me of course) is the same as a half pack of cigarettes.

The starter kit I bought came with 8 Marlboro flavored cartridges which would be equivalent to 4 packs of cigarettes for about $5.00 which sure enough really does break down to about $1.25 a pack. I read this on the blu e-cig site but didn't really understand it or believe it but now I get and it is true.

I really don't believe I will go back to tobacco cigarettes and I really do believe that I have finally found the right product to get me off tobacco. I am absolutely amazed, totally impressed and really very grateful for this product.

I would encourage smokers everywhere to actually give this a try. I love it! At least try the one that I got because I know that it does work for me and join the quitters wagon or something. It is at least worth a shot. :D Happy smoking.

Good for you! I quit about 5 years ago and used hypnosis to help me, it didn't make me quit entirely but I cut way down and then when I found out I was pregnant I just stopped cold turkey. I wish they had the e-cig back then, sounds great!

I haven't seen any promotions for e-cigs in Australia at all and I can't help wondering why. Since the government makes so much money from people who smoke and those that drink, it's only natural that they wouldn't really want people to stop I suppose.

Hi Nemingha I think that is the bottom line. They don't want people to quit smoking or drinking other wise they would have done something about it by now. :)

Hi rsmallory, it is day 6 for me and I have had about 1 cigarette a day since I started this and it was because I had to wait for the e-cig to charge.

Other than that I am really doing very good. The seller that I purchased the e-cig from is sending me something called e-juice, some sort of solution that is supposed to moistened the atomizer to increase the vapor.

So far so good. They only problem I have run into recently is that one of my e-cig is malfunctioning (I think) it's either that or I didn't leave it on the charger long enough.

So I will see today when I use it. :D

Great hub! I'm still in the "Thinking about quitting" stage myself, but hope to get there soon!

Does the E-Cig still have nicotine? So you still have to break the nicotine addiction?

How is it going?

Hi, yes but you can get them without nicotine. :) I put up a link about that as well. Good thing you stopped by or I wouldn't have realized I missed a link.

Thanks!
