I will admit, the hit from it is different, but similar to a smoke. My juice has nicotine in it and the first haul made me cough actually. Weird that it feels cooler, temp wise as you exhale in the car. Wife much prefers me using this in the car, smells way better.
Too soon to tell if it will be enough to put me in a quitting state of mind, but it's replaced the car smokes so far.
Hearing more of your stories gives me some optimism.
Cheers.

When I got mine, I had two packs of smokes left.

It was different, and when I started I would use the e-cig, but still smoke a couple of cigs a day. When I finished my last pack, I said I'm in to give this e-cig thing a go. It's clearly much better than regular smokes, and quitting cold turkey just isn't in the cards for me - never could stick it out. So I just "confined" myself to it, and after two weeks, I was completely used to it. Only caveat I'd add would be once, after about a month or two, I was out, and someone offered me a smoke, I almost took it - then said forget it, no going back!

I use the Five Pawn's juice now, Gambit or Queenside, great stuff.

Stick it out, just takes some time to get used to...

I've used an e-cig now for 1 1/2 years. I agree..... WOW did I stink when I used to smokes cigarettes, like an ash tray. I can smell a cigarette burning a mile away now..... I still have no desire to puff on a cigarette. I love the fact I can sneak a puff when needed when at a public place too...... SHHHHHH!

And another thing all the great flavors an e-cigs offer too.....

I smoked like fiend most of my life 1-2 packs daily. Vaping got me off tobacco in one day and haven't touched a cigarette in 3 or 4 years. Yeah I still consume nicotine but its far more casual at this point. The big difference is my athletic ability came back I am no longer winded when attempting to do exercise, running what have you and I don't wake up in the morning and spend the first hour of my day coughing up yesterdays cigarette smoke. Good or bad for you the jury is out but my body tells me it is certainly better and do not feel the horrid effects of inhaling tobacco smoke. Im not all that crazy about the fruity tasting e liquids I tend to like spicier tobacco like flavors Bobas Bounty by alien visions and Long bottom leaf, shire malt by e pipe mods. My go to vapes. I agree with Phrank that Five Pawns make some damn good liquids albeit pricey.

I like the more tobacco flavours as well...I'll give those a try if I can find them this side of the border. Another great thing about vaping, all kinds of different flavors to try!

By you saying this I imagine there is a problem ordering directly from US based vendors? Is there some regulatory red tape to import these products?

WE have a local Vape shop here in town who carries a good bit of juices and equipment. I've bought a lot on a site that is located here in Canada too.

E-cigs are not regulates like cigarettes are ATM..... The governments of both countries are still trying figure out what to do about them...... So no "sin taxes" on em....as of yet.

There's lots of places in Toronto, but the e-juice will get seized if it's labelled thus...found a place for the Bobas Bounty downtown...Five Pawns Gambit and Queenside are two of my faves, and on another unit I have Halo Tribeca and Turkish Tobacco, both superb flavors.

Im sure taxation and heavy regulation are coming down the road. Truth is there is a significant drop in tobacco sales because of these things and its eating into the tax revenues of state governments. The genie is out of the bottle I would say due to how easy it is to actually blend e liquid yourself only need three things a nicotine base liquid some glycerine or and a food grade flavoring and that's it. the devices themselves are so simple I cant understand why this wasn't invented 20 years ago. Just a coil and some cotton with a battery thats it go figure.

Lol you can probably mix in your shave soap.
