The first e-cig was invented in 1963 by American Herbert A. Gilbert, and a Chinese pharmacist named Hon Lik invented and patented the modern one in 2003...the big tobacco companies will eventually take over the e-liquid industry in my opinion and we'll end up soon enough paying the same prices. I can hear it now, "When the price of juice goes up one more dollar, I'm done!"Quote:

Only have the two flavours thus far. Sampled a few at my local vap store. And settled for my own brew.
I like a blend of 50% 7 leaves, and 50% luxury. These oils are created by a company called
'laboratoires vapeur delice'. french I presume. The blend I concocted is reminiscent of a colts rum dipped tipped cigar.

Being able to use this in less windy areas come winter will be awesome! The unit my daughter bought me has variable wattage as well as different size air orifices. So once I dialed in the heat, and the back pressure it is nearly identical to a smoke sensation. Just wish it had a timer or vibe built in to say when you've had about a smoke's worth. Easy to loose track on a country drive and smoke more than a cig's worth at a go.
Happy this gadget is working for so many of you. May be more than a gimic, and lasts for days on a charge.
Cheers.
I believe the one like your wife has is the original models. Those ultimately would need refilling or oil replacement I would imagine. The new ones such as in my pic have oil reservoirs that hold your day's supply. I believe the technology is the same, but the originals were not fine tuneable or lasted as long on a charge. They are still available pre-filled in different flavours and are smaller, more cigarette like.Quote:

The atomizer itself can be filled with different e liquids for the sake of flavor variety or changing nicotine strengths. Advantages are better performance customizable to ones tastes and can have a much longer battery life depending on size. The only difference is that the output on the glass tank style atomizer can be tweaked to generate a lot more vapor.
Anything that lets you quit smoking is good.
To quit smoking first you need a good incentive. I smoked for at least 45 years or more I really never counted it up and it really doesn't matter. When I quit I was smoking 2-3 packs of Marlbourghs on a good day and if I had a bad day or was drinking more. Bad things happen to other people not me or aleast that is what I told myself. 2001 May the 2 I got my left leg crushed in an accident at work. 3 weeks later they found that I had throat cancer. That was my incentive. I quit sitting in a chair at home with my left leg in an external contraption of bolts and pins. no cast which made scratching the itches easier. After saying this I will stat my first sentence again. To quit smoking first you need an incentive. look around you . do you have kids. wife. grand kids. I know you will find that incentive. all you have to do is look around you and give in to that incentive. (don't you just hate a quiter:rofl2:)
What do they say about ex-smokers being the most militant anti-smokers? Guilty as charged.
Haven't smoked for coming up on 15 years. Looooonngg before E cigs.
Now that they're available I can't imagine for the life of me why any smoker would NOT want to embrace E cigs and instead hang on to heaters. Almost $10/pack where I live. Don't know how you guys do it.
I did love me a smoke back then. That was also back when they were affordable enough for a guy to actually smoke a brand that tasted good rather than so many of the smokers I see now that have to buy off off off off off brands of generics just to afford the habit.
Glad I quit though! Started in gradeschool.

Tell ya what,Long time two pack a day smoker here.
I bought one of those high vapers this a.m (9:30),been sucking on that thing since,I have zero desire to have a real cig at this time.
4 hrs.longest I have quit in 50 yrs
It annoys me that now in the UK, e-cigs are being banned to use indoors, as cigarettes already are. That is annoying. I don't want to have to go outside and stand with smokers, who (sorry if I offend anyone) stink of tobacco smoke. You don't notice it when you smoke yourself, but once you've stopped, wow! Yuk!
As for flavours, I don't use any tobacco flavours, as that kind of defeats the object for me. I like a minty gum (tastes like chewing gum) and a lemon and lime. Quite refreshing.
