Stopping smoking...Who's with us? Posted on: 10.01.2013 by Ngoc Ninow Title says it all really...DarioJ and I have decided to give up the devilish little white sticks, in favour of better health, cleaner lungs and heavier pockets, full of money to spend on new kit! My quite date is the 15/01/2013. I believe for most of you this will make sense written like this; 01/15/2013 My aim for the end of the year is to have enough for a DJM2000 Nexus! Anyone wants to join or just to offer support/hints/tips, then feel free. Peace out OBL | |
| Ngoc Ninow 17.05.2013 | I fell off the proverbial wagon around 14days after starting this thread, and have got back on it this week. I went cold turkey the first time and was doomed to fail from the off. It was just a bad idea! This time, I have got some nicotine lozenges, and they are working really well for me. I'm not getting cravings half as bad as I thought I would, and I feel like I doing really well. My house is also tidier than its ever been and I have a ton of energy that I have no idea where it's come from. I'm also finding that I am not eating a load of crap to make up for the times when I want to reach for the cigs. I'd recommend these lozenges to anyone who is trying to stop. They are way better than the gum, and only |

| Charline Dye 30.04.2013 | image.jpg Here's what I take with me if I'm going to be out all day. I leave the case in the car and take the device I want. I also like changing flavors, if you couldn't tell from the bottles, lol. |

| Lilliana Perris 17.05.2013 | About a R1000 (plus minus $100) But you get 2....and some extras etc. I am spending a lot more time outdoors these days at the beach with my GF and family. Used to be big into fishing back in the day, so real keen to pick it up again. Last time I went out fishing, I broke 3 ribs (slipped on the rocks..and I am a tall lad)...so seems I am outta practice! |

| Lilliana Perris 17.05.2013 | Nice one mate....I have not even gotten close to stopping. Wanting to buy a E-Cig....but gonna get a Fishing Rod instead! HAHAHAHA! Such a douche! |

| Dorie Scelzo 13.05.2013 | Switched to electronic cigarettes last may. So, I'm coming up on about a year. I cheated a bit while a relative was dying slowly from liver failure earlier this year...but other than that, it's been great. At some point, I stopped tracking my savings when I realized how ridiculous it was. But I've had numerous people comment on various health improvements (jogging through walking traffic, cycling, etc.). I highly recommend them. For more information, check out the electronic_cigarette subreddit. |
| Sydney Lashway 13.05.2013 | ^^ lol I said I was going to quit smoking when I moved to Barbados last August. Then I realized cigarettes were half the price I was paying. $11 CAN vs $11 BBD (roughly 2:1 exchange rate CAN --> BBD) And now that I'm going to be in Switzerland this summer, where cigarettes are also fairly cheap from what I've read, I doubt it'll happen anytime soon. |
| Freddie Farringer 04.05.2013 | I stopped smoking when the gov locked me up and tried to deport me! Almost 9 months now |
| Judi Sissel 02.05.2013 | Seven days in and I've only taken 3 puffs of one cig... I almost puked. Feeling real good at this point . Not so sure why I thought this was so hard to do before... |
| Nia Amed 02.05.2013 | I've been using a Volcano Inferno e-cig (basically the original Ego). I cut down from nearly a pack a day to a pack every week or two. I find it's still hard not to smoke real ones on the weekends or when friends come by. I started buying tubes and loose tobacco so the work I have to do to have one cigarette will discourage it a bit. I get most of my juices from Mt baker vapor or Kalamazoo Vapor shop. |
| Celestina Laderman 02.05.2013 | haven't smoked for 2 months here. Still use nicotine gum, but it's like, 1 piece every few days. Working out and stuff is so much easier |
| Ethel Feigum 30.04.2013 | I had to quit smoking about 10 years ago, due to a bad bout with pneumonia.... Not the most pleasant way to quit but damn effective! I've been the only non-smoker in my 7 piece band, but most of the guys switched to e-cigs a few months ago. Seems to be working well for them, and overall the group smells much nicer! Good luck to all! |

| Lilliana Perris 30.04.2013 | Ahh cheers mate! |
| Charline Dye 30.04.2013 | Thanks for the link on the Twisp. It didn't come up when I googled. To make your own ejuice, you will need a place that supply's unflavored nic juice, the flavorings, vegatable glycerin, and polypropylene glycol. I use wizardlabs.us. You then can use an online calculator for your recipe. I use http://e-liquid-recipes.com. It requires a little trial and error, but I can make exactly what I want. Most places have 12mg nic juice then 16mg. I like 14mg but almost no one makes it. That is part of why I started making my own. It's also a lot cheaper too. There is a lot of good info at http://www.e-cigarette-community .com/community / look in the DIY juice subcommunity . I also find the hobby aspect of it all helps keep me from real cigs too. One more thing for ecig newbies. I hated every tobacco flavor I tried, but love the fruit flavors, candy flavors, and coffee flavors. So don't give up if you don't like the flavor. Try different flavors till you find one you like. Most ejuice vendors in the states sell sample packs so you can try them out before ordering larger quantities. |

| Lilliana Perris 29.04.2013 | My house mate got a TWISP last week. I tried it and it was not half bad! Bit pricey...but hey...believe of the savings! Might get myself one this evening.... |
| Judi Sissel 29.04.2013 | So after jumping on and off this whole thing... trying to trick myself into quitting for the last 4 months, I finally made the REAL decision to quit. 5 days cold turkey and I've got no real cravings. In all honesty, I am craving to go longer with out these stupid things then actually picking one up. I hope everyone else has had much better success then I have. If not, time to get back on it guys |
