But had to put my own 2 cents in here. I absolutely swear by e-cigs. I quit on the very first day and haven't smoked for 2 and 1/2 years.

There is a learning curve, but I did alot of research before I embarked on buying a kit. I use Joye eGo-C 1000 mAh batteries with Vision eGo 1.6ml Clearomizers.

The trick to an e-cig, is finding a juice and a nic level that works for you.

If you use the method I do, you'll also want to buy a syringe so you can fill them.

I get all my stuff from http://www.freedomsmokeusa.com

They have TONS of flavors to pick from, my personal recommendation is the Fuzzy Navel.

I buy my juice in 120ml bottles, which run $40 each, lasts me 3 months, so your talking $13 a month or so to use an e-cig compared to whatever cigarettes run in your state. The breaking point for me was $5 a pack. I was starting to buy cigs with my credit card, and I thought about it, and realized, I was buying cigarettes with money I didn't have. When it reached that point, I knew it was time to do something different. That's when I invested in the e-cig. And like I said, I quit the very first day and haven't had an analog since.

It took me a bit to adjust to vaping with one, alot of coughing the first day. Alot of vaping the first day too. But once I got used to it, it's GREAT!!! It's so nice to be able to breathe again, to taste food, to LIVE!!! The smell of analogs just gags me now, I can smell it on people's clothes, outside of convenience stores, all the places you'd find smokers I can smell that rancid smell and I hate it. All I could think is... man... that smell used to be on me too.

e-cigs are a god send. If cold turkey isn't doing it for you, use one, use a GOOD ONE, not one of those cheapys from the quickie mart. THEY WORK!
