E-cigs are awesome. They improve on my health, make it easier to breath, and are more affordable in the long run, however they can't replace the feeling of real tobacco. I always find myself switching back to real cigs after a short time. E-cigs just don't feel the same when you inhale.

Ecig works great for me, but as the above poster mentioned, you just sometimes miss that real hit. So I resort to hookah for that lol

I haven't tried e-cigs, but It probably isn't the same. I mean I like the taste of tobacco, idk how water vapor could emulate that taste...

They have way cool flavors for e-cigs! I have one and use the "Rock Candy" flavor if I'm out with friends who dont like cigarettes! :) They can imitate many tastes, including tobacco, coffee, peach, etc!

can you get those online?

Sure can!

I agree entirely with

I used E-cigs for a while to quit, but since I have such, what's called an "oral fixation" on cigarettes it was very hard and an unsatisfactory product to me. Maybe if the smoke-juice replicated aged tobacco that would work WONDERS for me!

I have an e-cig, and it's pretty much been sitting in my bag for months. I smoke it, yet I just have to have a real cigarette after it; I get nothing from the e-cig. No throat hit, no buzz, unfavorable flavor. It's a really neat idea and I carry it around in case of me running out of my current pack, but I wouldn't go out of my way, to be completely honest.

i have tried an E-cig on multiple occasions (because my neighbor is a salesman for them he always is trying to get me to quit) i think some of them are decent but very expensive. but all the cheaper ones like you would get at a gas station taste like your smoking through a used tube sock soaked in camel piss.

i would just as rather get on the patch or gum or even continue smoking before i used E-cigs reguarly

I've never used an e-cig so I couldn't say. However I do know that a friend of mine uses them and it's more of an in-between cigs thing. He'll smoke the e-cig if he has a craving and no cigarettes, but according to him nothing beats the real thing.

The amount of mods, juices, attachments available for eCigs makes it a lot of fun. It's really a hobby of mine now! :D

I personally dislike the e-cig. I decided to buy a couple of throw away ones for a 17 hour road trip, since I couldn't smoke in thee car. The flavours were actually kind of nice, but made me feel a little nauseated, and the hot water vapor made my throat sore. It did curve my craving for a real smoke, but once I was at the destination, I was back to my cigarettes. I think it's awesome for some people, just not me. I'll stick to my Golden Harvest roll your own. :)

I have tried a few, the volcano e-cig wasn't too bad. One of my buds bought a cheap one and it was impossable to keep the smoke down without coughing up a fit...

Smoking until my heart gives out.

Big time vaper here.

Vaping provides a very efficient analogue to most tobacco products, when you have a good setup, in my opinion. A lot of the truck-stop variety stuff and the "cigarette look and feel analogues" generally have a lot of problems (I've not seen any that were worthwhile). One of the better starter units is the Joyetech eGo (make sure you get a real one and not a knockoff), but definitely be picky about where you get your eJuice from. If you like tobacco, try Vapor Station's RY4, its basically a tobacco and spun sugar mix that's quite tasty. In my opinion, it does make a good analogue for real tobacco. Make sure you have a good mod to hit it with.

As far as throat hit and coughing, that's generally the mix on the eJuice. Good quality eJuice is vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol, nicotine, flavors, and NOTHING ELSE. A lot of your Chinese websites and even some American ones put a bunch of other stuff that has no place in eJuice (there are a few exceptions though, I'm mostly talking about synthetic preservatives and filler agents). On that regard, the higher the PG to VG ratio (i.e. more PG) the more of a throat hit its going to have, same goes for nic level. You might want to start with a 50/50 PG/VG mix on 6-12mg of nic and see where that takes you.

Also, serious warning here, when dealing with eJuice, avoid the cream flavors or any other flavor that has "custard notes". These notes are produced by a buttery compound called "diacetyl" (and also acetoin is another, there's one more I believe) which is probably worse than anything you'll run into in a cigarette. Diacetyl, inhaled chronically, causes a condition called "popcorn workers lung", wherein basically the compound causes a buildup of scar tissue along the inside of your lungs, to which there is no recovery. The only known way to treat this is a lung transplant. Its called popcorn worker's lung because it was first encountered by people who worked in factories that made microwave popcorn, wherein the fake butter substance was diacetyl. You can achieve this same effect breathing in the smell of microwave popcorn in large amounts. Make sure your eJuice provider knows what the heck they're doing. If in doubt, ask. If they can't answer, find another eJuice provider.

I've heard quite a few success stories with eCigs, though. Helping a coworker and a contractor both get off of full-time smoking and onto vaping and they seem to be having great success with it. It really requires a resolution to quit to go full on the vaping. There are a bunch of success stories littering ECF, and I know one guy personally, and of a couple more that have been off cigs for a few years now. Me personally, I vape a majority of the time but every so often I just want real tobacco. Less to do with the eCig not tasting like tobacco and more to do with "I just want a cigar right now" or similar.

Good luck :3

This is wonderful feedback! Thanks for posting!
