Although I have never really been a big-time smoker per se, I did really enjoy it when I did smoke on occasion. I have always wished I could find an alternative that didnt have the adverse side effects.

I decided to buy an electronic cigarette and I have to say, WOW, what an amazing device it is.

Anyone else ever tried one of these things? They are truly amazing and I will never go back to regular smokes again.

If anyone is truly interested in more details just respond below and I will post more (and no, I am not getting commission or anything ).

How exactly do these work?

It contains a cartridge that has liquid inside of it. When you inhale it it causes an atomizer to vaporize the liquid giving a smoke like vapor. They put nicotine and flavoring in the cartridge. It has no carcinogens, tar or chemical additives. Pretty awesome really.

do you find its actually satisfying? when i have cigarettes like left over from a night out i can't help but smoke the rest a few per day till theyr'e gone but i don't crave them after that

physically the nicotene is gone from your body after 3 days so its only a mental addiction but once every month or two i'll buy a pack and take a week to go through it and feel like a dumbass each time

fwiw, just becuase the nicotine is out of your system doesnt mean its just a "mental" thing, its still a phyiscal reaction going on up there.

Basically you just puff til you are done. No real way to ration them. I was worried about this myself as well but discovered that I just kind of "know" when I am done, which is nice because if you smoke a real cig you tend to just smoke the whole thing whereas the e-cig you can take 4 or 5 puffs and be done.

You get about 7 to 10 cigarettes worth from each cartridge and yes the vapor (not actually smoke) does come out hot.

It is satisfying but nothing will ever perfectly replace a cigarette which is something that a smoker would have to wrap his mind around if he wants to switch to e-cigs. If you are not a frequent smoker then these things are not going to do much for you. I am not a regular smoker by any means but I really enjoy the feeling of smoking, flavor etc. I never wanted to become addicted to real cigs though because of the negative side effects. When I saw the e-cig I was dying to try it out. After I got it in the mail and took one puff off of it I knew I would never smoke another cigarette (or cigar for that matter) again.

They may not be for everyone but if there are people who really want to quit smoking or simply want the joys of smoking without the negative side effects then they should check out the e-cig.

I actually just got done ordering a bunch of flavors as well like chocolate, peach, Red Bull, Dr. Pepper (I'm looking at you Corey ), and a few others.

Mmmm dr. pepper. Time to start smoking!
