My e-Cigarette Experiences…

Posts Tagged ‘tobacco’

So many people I’ve met in my life have chosen to ‘quit’ smoking as a New Years’ Resolution.  The result of this action is failure in more than 90% of cases.  I’m not saying that I resolve to quit smoking, but I DO resolve to get back into my e-cigs on a full time – rather than part time – basis and also to seek out a few more models and test some other products so that you, my readers, will have a broader information source in this blog.  In the meantime, you CAN click on the E9 package image on the sidebar and get started right away on your path to a healthier alternative to smoking.  Check out the abundant choices and the GREAT prices on products that I haven’t had any real problems with in many months.  And… while you’re not quitting…  you ARE improving life in so many ways.

ORDER YOUR e-Cig TODAY And start 2011 breathing easier and heading down the path to Successfully putting an end to the control that big tobacco companies have on your life!

My primary source are just getting better and better.  If you want to look and see for yourself, or better yet, order some of the fantastic new products and flavours, just hit the link on the sidebar to the right where I get my E9 kits and supplies.  Meanwhile, read the whole article for the scoop on the latest products and selections…  It’s ALMOST getting hard to pick!

I just received an update from e-cig.com (my main supplier for my e-cig supplies) and see that they now have an ABSURD number of flavours available, all in both Propylene Glycol or Vegetable Glycol based liquids.  There’s a lot of discussion around the benefits of VG over PG but the short version is that VG is natural while PG is synthetic, and we all know that natural is almost always better for us than synthetic.  But with more than 100 flavour choices, including a wide range of tobacco flavours, fruit and beverage flavours and more, there are over TWO THOUSAND possible combinations available for your e-cig cartridges! 

Hit the link on the sidebar to go to my affiliate site and see for yourself.  There’s nobody else offering the range of flavour and the incredible low prices that these folks offer, and I’m still very happy with the entire experience that I’ve had with the products, except of course for the early battery issues.  But every time I’ve had a problem they have been able to resolve it and keep my business.

Get off the smokes NOW and start Vaping to improve your health!  And do it with flavour!

As September draws closer, I’m preparing for the next part of my life journey and will be taking to the road to explore Canada for up to a year in a motorhome.  Part of this process of course has to do with tobacco use and smoking in general, as I don’t want to pollute my small living space with the smells, tar, and other concerns caused by smoking in a confined space, even with suitable ventilation.  With this in mind, I’m glad that I’ve chosen to move to the E-Cig and away from Tobacco, since this will permit me to enjoy the trip so much better, without the downsides of smoking.

I’ve added a few new links to the site today that are related to tobacco use and the benefits of quitting.  I hope that you’ll take the time to view these links, and that you’ll remain tuned in here and on my main blog for updates on the trip as it unfolds.  There will be a lot of interesting places, people and photos as well as my on-going experiences with e-cig use instead of analog tobacco products.

Stay healthy!

My primary supplier is e-cig.com (see the E9 kit image on the right for the link).  I’ve selected them for a wide range of reasons, including their innovation in the e-cig market.  Add in a solid delivery guarantee, product warranty, support and quality, and they are a top tier supplier for sure.

They have recently changed their site and added a couple of new features for their E9 series e-cig (and others) that you might like to look at.  First, you can now order any cartridges in either Propylene Glycol (PG) or Vegetable Glycol (VG) base.  The VG base is even healthier than the PG base as it is based on plant oils, not synthetic, and removes some of the concerns raised in using e-cigs.  I know that there is still testing needed to prove that there are any real benefits, but at least they offer the choice which is something I don’t yet see many other vendors offering.  Secondly, they now have a super-long cartomizer cartridge that offers more vapour and more puffs – 1600 puffs actually, making it the longest and strongest cartomizer style cartridge yet to be made.  I’ll be ordering some of the VG long cartridges shortly and see just how they perform in normal use.

Stay tuned!  I know I’m not the most prolific blogger in this area, but there hasn’t been much to write about lately!  I’m back to more e-cig than regular, and hoping to kick the tobacco once again completely this month.  And I’ll keep you posted on news and progress on order successes and failures as my new orders make their way to me.

Vape On!

e-Cig starter kits are getting cheaper all the time, and the price of supplies makes vaping an even more attractive option than it was just a year ago.  And, my latest batteries from e-cig.com are quite a bit better.  They don’t seem to cut out as quickly, and they provide a good hit that the older batteries didn’t seem to quite provide.  The changes are subtle, and would go completely un-noticed if you weren’t using the old ones and the new ones at the same time, but I can certainly tell there’s some differences.  I ended up with white ones this time, but I don’t actually mind it as much as I thought.

Also, it appears that e-cig have a US office now for returns and such, so it’s getting even easier to deal with them when things go wrong.  No more needing to ship failed batteries all the way to China.  I don’t know if they are shipping from the US office yet, but will certainly let you know as I learn more about them.

Otherwise, not really a lot to report.  I still use my E9, and I’m still happy with it.  I still vape more than smoke (although I DO still enjoy a small cigar at times) and I don’t really miss the taste, smell, or anything else about the old analog tobacco sticks.

Keep Vaping!  Live Well!  Save Money!  What more could you ask?

And remember to hit one of the links on my right sidebar to order your product.  It’s not a lot of money, but it allows me to build the budget up for trying new flavours, products and growing this blog.  And I will be growing it quite soon!  Stay tuned!

Just a quick note to you, my readers, to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in 2010.  I hope that you will find some e-cigs in your stocking or tree, and that 2010 will be your year of a healthier, happier you as a result of making the move away from burning tobacco. 

Cheers and Thanks for reading and shopping.  I’ve actually JUST made it to my goal of one coupon for e-cig.com as a result of the orders placed through the links here, and will be using that coupon to replace some batteries, and stock up on some other flavours of cartomizer for my E9 system.

Happy Holidays!  See you in 2010!

If you’ve been following me here at all, you know that I was quite impressed with the E8 e-cig kit that I’ve been using, and had some long term successes in avoiding tobacco products while using it.  Until I lost it.  But through the whole process, I did have thoughts and desires from time to time for an analog smoke, but was generally able to curb that desire.  It just took a few hits of my E8 and all was good again.  But this time around, when I ordered a whole new kit to replace my lost E8, I opted to move up to the slightly larger E9 model.

Well the worst has happened.  A few weeks ago I lost my kit.  The little e-cig case (old style cigarette case) containing my e8, spare battery and a couple cartridges was left someplace and lost.  So I’ve fallen from vaping for a while and have been back on analogs while I hunted, called, and ordered a new kit.  Let me tell you this…  the negative impact of smoking ALMOST made me not do it.  I almost quite.  But since I’m vaping at the higher levels of nicotine still, my body craved badly what it was missing, and I tried a couple of alternatives that just didn’t make it for me.  Like so many times in the past.  So I bought analogs.  And I’ve been smoking.  I can also tell you that I NOTICED the differences between smoking and vaping in a matter of a few days.  The laboured breathing returned.  The stink in my car, my clothes and even in my office just from the residual smoke are already noticeable.  And the hit on my budget.

The good news is that my new kit arrives today or tomorrow at last, and I will be able to immediately return to the joys of vaping and get back on track to recovering from this most annoying habit.  I’ve got 2 chargers, 4 batteries and lots of cartridges coming this time so I’ll have the option of keeping a spare set in at least one alternate location and won’t be carrying my entire kit all in one case.  The message of course is to ensure that you keep at least one spare battery and supplies in a separate place so that if you DO lose your e-cig, you can continue to enjoy the pleasures of vaping while your replacements are shipping.  It does take a couple weeks to get supplies!

Can’t wait to return to vaping – and will have a review of the slightly larger E9 in a few days.

Vape On!

Well, the Blogs have been quiet, but my life certainly hasn’t.  But I thought I would toss out a quick howdy to those of you that are still following and bring you up to date with the latest.  Yes…  I’ve had a few little cigars lately, but only as a sort of guilty pleasure.  I have NOT had any brand of standard cigarette.  Not one.  In the whole time I’ve been on the e-cigs I can honestly say I’ve consumed less than the equivalent of a full pack of cigarettes in tobacco products, which is a massive improvement for me.  This time of year, for a range of reasons, I would be up to 30 cigarettes daily and now I’m only at a flavoured cigarillo or Captain Black Sweet tipped and dipped cigar every few days.  The rest of the time I am vaping and still quite happy to be doing so. 

I’m placing the order for my E9 tonight and going for the larger format.  The E8 has been nice, but it still feels a little weak and I’m hoping that the larger batteries and cartomizers will produce that little extra hit that will make it feel more like the real thing for those times when I REALLY want a smoke.  So far, I’ve been able to kick those cravings by taking several hits off the E8, but I think that the E9 might make it a little easier.  Here’s hoping!  And of course, you’ll be the first to read about it here when I get my kit and give them a comparative test against each other.

So besides being INSANELY busy these past couple of weeks, I’m still vaping and still alive…  and actually planning to stay that way for a LONG time to come.

cheers!  and Happy Vaping!
