Electronic Cigarettes
 

I was wondering if anyone else on these boards smokes electronic cigarettes? I bought a Zenith Starter Pack about 7 months ago and just started getting back into it, so far its been 10 days since I smoked tobacco (used to smoke Cutters Choice) my lungs feel amazing and food tastes great.

Its really helped me quit, I just hope I can stick with it :angel:

Im going to order one of these tomorrow http://is.gd/ft7I5 Titan 510 which is £25 and is supposed to be the best one on the market currently.

Pretty comprehensive video review for anyone thats never seen an e-cig in action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2Qcyh7zdDA

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

No never heard of them but they. How many in a pack and how long do they last for. Is it £25 pound for one or the pack?

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

Its usually one device with multiple filters.. The filters are the new chemical you inhale similar to nicotine or maybe even nicotine I'm not 100%

But once you pay for the original device you just pay for the chemical bottles everytime you need new ones.

from the deal above

# 1 x Manual Battery < Pretty obvious
# 1 x Atomizer < The device
# 1 x USB Charger
# 1 x 10ml Bottle of 18mg Tobacco or Menthol E.Liquid < The chemical
# 3 x 510 Re-Fillable Cartridges. ^^^

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

I'm half thinking of giving up and this sounds really good to start of with.

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

Its £25 for

1 x Manual Battery
1 x Atomizer
1 x USB Charger
1 x 10ml Bottle of 18mg Tobacco or Menthol E.Liquid
3 x 510 Re-Fillable Cartridges.

The batteries last ages, the atomizers can last ages but really depend on your usage, I get a month or so out of mine, you put about 4 drops of the liquid in the cartridges so I got a new 10ml bottle on Monday and their is still about 90% left and Ive been smoking it like crazy.

You can just put the liquid in the filters, if you switch to the e-cig there is no question its cheaper than smoking tobacco.

defirish id highly recommend giving it a go, even if you cant quit with the e-cig the worst you'll be left with is a device you can smoke in pubs and clubs and at the cinema, its perfectly legal :D Its also nice with it coming up to winter that I can smoke in the house, the smoke is just water vapor so doesn't smell of anything at all.

Yeah they have nicotine in them, the chemical mix is Glycerol, flavoring and nicotine im currently 'vaping' a 1.8% nicotine mix, the highest ive seen is 4%

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

Very true. The only thing that would put me of is, does it taste bad

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

Bet they smell a bit funny when you light them though... :erm: :D

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

Ill be honest with you the taste isn't exactly like tabacco, they do lots of flavors Ive had more luck smoking a mint one, also the smoke doesn't feel exactly like a real cigarette you get a nice throat hit which is the nicotine but its not as harsh as a real cigarette.

Im currently smoking a mix called British Bulldog which tastes similar to real tabacco but has a bit of a cameral taste, I've watched a few reviews on youtube and most people that switch to e-cigs seem to acquire a taste for them after a while.

Obviously the taste is completely subjective so what tastes a bit cameral for me might hit the spot for you or just taste disgusting, there a loads of companies making the mix now so even if you dont like one you're bound to find one that is more to your liking.

Having said all that I was at my friends house last night he and his 5 housemates all smoke heavily and were all smoking around me (last time when I tried to quit cold turkey this was when I relapsed), we had all the windows closed because it was cold and I was perfectly fine smoking my e-cig.

You can also get an electronic pipe as well if thats more your style :devsmoke:

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

No my hubby is the pipe smoker. :D I will have to see what suits. Does it help you eventually get you of the fags and of the electronic one as I want to give up completely when I do decide to give up if you know what I mean. I dont want to end up dependent on anything but that would help at the start.

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

I actually rather enjoy smoking my e-cig but I suppose the best way to get yourself off if you decide going down the e-cig route is just to slowly lower your nicotine levels eventually you really will just be smoking flavored water. Well as its glycerol you'll basically just be smoking cake icing.

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

Oh right. That sound interesting and way more healthier as well. I have to give this some serious thought. I was aiming for a smoke free January but with this device I may do it sooner. I'm just smoking now for the sake of smoking and dont even enjoy it and at night when I go to bed I really do feel the affects of it

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

Ive used these before and I cant say they didnt work because they did but I didnt want to quit smoking at the time, I just wanted to see what these were like. Ive only smoked since the age of 15 so its been 5 years and is still early days yet so I'm not feeling the major effects of smoking just yet.

I first came accross these in a shopping centre, they were offering trial smokes of these devices to passers by. I will give them praise as it was indeed similar to the real thing.

But just keep an eye out around high streets and shopping centre's for these things because they often have them out on trial.

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

I may very well give up before January with this device. Im strongly thinking about getting it. I actually feel sick now when I look in the ashtrays and sick of the taste of them in my mouth as well but yet I'm still addicted to them for some. :(

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

How many years have you been a smoker for?

I'd try this, but my tobacco's cheap enough anyway :)

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

Just 5 years, I say just because I know the longer you've smoked the harder it gets.

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

I've been a smoker for years so so so so so long. I smoke the tobacco as well as I find I dont smoke half as much with the bother it takes to roll them as well but I feel I would like to give up and was setting for January. With this device I think it will be a lot sooner. Just have to now find the one that suits me :)

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

This guy has reviewed about 100+ e-cigs so far http://www.youtube.com/user/igetcha69

This woman also does a nice comparison of three e-cigs the Zenith, Titan and Super http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxOrMpt7rzE her channel also has some good insights into the world of e-cigs.

You cant go wrong with a Zenith or a Titan 510, Ive also bought products off both these websites before and had no problems. (Next day delivery on both)

http://www.liberro.co.uk/
http://totallywicked-eliquid.co.uk/

Ive got a voucher code for liberro "imnew10" which gives you 10% any order as a first time customer, igetcha69 has a code for liberro as well "ECR69" which is apparently 15% off.

This code is for totallywicked "T4BE699" it gets you 7.5% off.

Oh one more thing, dont buy from a brand called blu, I've heard really mixed reviews about their e-cigs

Bit embarrassing but im really trying to throw myself into smoking e-cigs so Ive done my own review of the Zenith http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKxHAPg4Q0A (its a bit long winded... heh) im going to do another review of the Titan on Tuesday, my friend already has one hence the recommendation.

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

I've been smoking for so so so so long too. I can roll one with one hand it's been that long. I've never tried to give up really.

Don't get the pink one :)

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

I have bookmarked the page and will have a good look around and see which one to choose. I could be an X smoker by next week ;):D

I haven't mastered the art yet of rolling them with one hand. :D:D:D

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

Of the many things I know how to do with one hand..rolling cigarettes is not one.

:D

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

I think I'll wait until they bring out the electronic fag and pint..one puff of smoke, then it stuns you..you wake up with hangover and smoky smell

ahh..many a weekend :D

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

Colin keep that to yourself :D:D:D

Oh well back to finding something that will help me or else I can just go cold Turkey and set a day to give them up or else get patches to help me. :(

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

Something weird is going on, on here tonight - i just posted and it didn't show anything :(

Anyhow, what i was saying it you should try the nicorette inhalator as it helps those best who miss the 'hand to mouth' action.

Its a safer alternative to the e-cigarette and helps many people quit :)

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

I use it as an ice breaker.

the trick of rolling with one and what you can do with the other :D

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

Hand to mouth action...so many things I could say to that..noooo, tooo manyyy jokes cominggggggg :D

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

I seriously wouldn't be put off by that article.

I know thats from a guy that sells them but this is a new product and obviously no one knows what the long term affects are, I just take comfort in the fact there is almost no possible way smoking e-cigs is worse than actual cigarettes.

Cold Turkey would obviously be the best way, this is just way easier.

The nicorette inhalator are ok, they just dont mimic actually smoking.

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

Well I'm strongly thinking of giving up one way or another but just to be brave and find the day I start. :erm:

And what's that Gary. Spill:D

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

In terms of the actually quitting it defiantly still takes will power what ever you decide, setting a date in stone is good and also throwing away everything you have to do with smoking also works well.

Ive got an app on my phone that gives me a rundown of how im doing so far its saying

Days since smoking 10
Total amount saved £12.50
Total cigarettes NOT smoked 120

Having a look at those numbers gives me lots of incentive.

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

Just avoid using sweets as substitute..you may think you're only sucking a little..but chubby fellow you will be..toot sweet, to coin a phrase :D

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

That is very good. With all the ashtrays I throw out so do I throw hubby out as well as he is a smoker :(:D

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

Yeah that might be pretty tough, my girlfriend doesn't smoke so I guess im lucky in that respect.

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

Precisely the reason why the NHS won't supply them as a quit smoking aid.

But good on you for giving up smoking tobacco :tu:

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

I wont mind him smoking. He smokes the pipe and Im a non drinker and he drinks so I'm very easy going I wont mind.

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

I dont really care if the NHS provide them as a quitting aid, the NHS provided Avandia to diabetics and look where thats got them. http://is.gd/fur6J

Anyway I was aware of articles on the internet and am also aware there could still be risks, one day hopefully I wont smoke anything :) for now I do enjoy a good puff on my e-cig

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

Good luck

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

Only if my timing's out :)

Re: Electronic Cigarettes
 

When your emptying the ashtrays Gary is it and your hands are shaking from old age :D:D Old age is a bummer ;)
