I've decided to take the plunge.
Been a moderate 1 sometimes + pack a day Marlboro Red/72's smoker for as long as I can remember. Started as a kid sneaking Swisher Sweets and Benson Hedges Full Flavor 100 Menthol (cough) from mom and pop when I was still pimpin' the Big O Huffy with a banana seat.
Fast Forward several decades later and I've two of my own. I've taken effort to keep my habit to myself but, they have noticed. My lungs feel heavy just thinking about another Marlboro and I've 6 packs left of a carton.
Time for something different.
After some reading and talking I opted for a Joyetech Oakly eGo-T 1100mah with low resistance clearomizer, custom made Tobacco flavored (60vg/40pg) juice at 36mg Nicotine strength. Also bought a mixed set of other tobacco flavored juices at the same nic strength & pg/vg ratio.
Now, I am skeptical, and still not quite "sold" (so to speak) on any improved health benifits of juice compared to smoking but, I also recognize that it's a bit silly to split hairs about poison.
I do hope that this will at least lay down some pavers to a road of no smoking and no nicotine in the near'ish future. In the short term, I figure at least I won't smell like an ashtray all the time and maybe my wife will take kindly to necking again since I won't taste like a cigarette butt either.
So, without further ado', let's hear some stories, good or bad, about YOUR experiences with eCigarettes. Please add some specifics like model of tool, brand, flavor, and strength of juice, and (if you know) what the PG/PEG/VG/DEG blend of the juice is or was.
