Re: The e-cig: Healthy cigarette alternative

Vapor doesn't stick to anything, that's why ghosts are made out of it.

Re: The e-cig: Healthy cigarette alternative

So Zero.....You said that you have been selling them for awhile. Do you mind if I ask about what you sell? I like the E-cig but you have to order alot to justify the shipping from China.

Re: The e-cig: Healthy cigarette alternative

I'm pulling the trigger and ordering tonight..still doing some research though to find out what I want to buy.. Thinking about the Titan 510 from TotallyWicked or the Vapor King unless I find a better choice before I buy. Kinda confused about using liquid or pre-filled cartorizers yet though so looking into that and that may change my mind on to what to buy.

Re: The e-cig: Healthy cigarette alternative

I totally recommend the Titan, and Titan 510 = VaporKing afaik, so you're just choosing supplier I think. Pre-filled suck ime, just grab a bottle of juice with your order and you can try dripping it into the prefilled after you use them.

Yeah that's the plan. Buy some pre-filled cartomizers to test some flavours and then order the juice.

say i bought the 24 mg strength..how many draws/pulls would be equivelent to a normal cigarette? And how many draws/pulls would it take to empty a cartomizer? Trying to figure out how much to order to last me a month

I sell NJOY brand products. They're one of the largest ecig companies and are currently involved in the lawsuit against the FDA.

You'll definitely save money if you order from China, but it will obviously take a lot longer to get your order and you won't have as much luck with customer service or warranties.

Our starter kits are $70-$75 and the refill cartridges go for $19. NJOY doesn't make liquid to refill the cartridges yourself so if you wanted to do that you'd have to look at another brand.

Re: The e-cig: Healthy cigarette alternative

I just ordered a vapor king. I thought it was hilarious you can hook it up to your usb port on the computer and smoke it that way.

Re: The e-cig: Healthy cigarette alternative

I have the smoke stik and it's OK. But I just ordered the Mega 510 from Totally Wicked since I've heard rave reviews on it.

Re: The e-cig: Healthy cigarette alternative

this is so dumb.

ok, if posters are thinking, "this is bad for me but i'm doing it anyway, it's my life, carpe diem, blah bla", then ok.

but if it has anything to do with health, it's retarded. e-cigs? come on already.

i smoked for 15 years - the last 10 a were pack a day easy. i quit cold turkey 16 months ago. if i - who has the selfcontrol of an epileptic at a Pink Floyd laser show - can quit, then any of you can. all these e-cigs, patches, etc do is continue to give you nicotine thus prolonging the habit while injecting harmful substances into your body. to be free of nicotine addiction, you have to just quit. get it out of the body. suffer near psychosis levels of anger/sadness/loneliness for a week or two. then suffer a lot less for another month or two. and then you're done. and you rarely ever think about a smoke again. it's not rocket science. the point is to completely change your life so it's nothing like when you are a smoker - drop the habit and stop putting nicotine in your body. in a short time the body/brain will adjust. e-cigs will just prolong everything and make it harder to quit.

Re: The e-cig: Healthy cigarette alternative

Cool rant bro but no one is dumb enough to think these things aren't addictive. I really doubt anyone buys these and says "sweet I'm not a smoker any more, I'm FREE!"

My boyfriend likes to smoke. He likes it. He'd like to quit one day but he's not ready. I'm a non-smoker and I also had pneumonia earlier this year, and my doctors have said he absolutely cannot smoke in my presence (which he pretty much didn't anyway, but occasionally when I was in the car with him.) He can have an e-cig right in the apartment with no impact on me. Healthwise, it is at the VERY LEAST reducing the amount of tar that goes into his lungs every time he has one as opposed to a Camel.

Also, it's now illegal to smoke in restaurants and bars in my city. He can have an e-cigarette there too.

I'm really happy that you quit smoking, but maybe you could consider that your situation isn't everybody's situation and calm down.

I really doubt he quit smoking and a lot of that anger is at himself for being so weak and having a small penis.

Ex-smokers that rant about how smokers should "just quit" are worst than people who have never smoked and say the same. You smoked for 15 years...why didn't you JUST quit?

A lot of people who switched to e-cigs would never quit analogs (real cigarettes), so if they want to keep the habit why not get rid of 4,000 chemicals and save LOADS of money. Also some of these e-cig converts start at a 24mg-36mg cartridge and eventually move down to 0mg cartridges.

Basically you go from people that will probably never quit, to people that can now feel better, breath better, smell better, taste better, save a bunch of money.
