Default 03/11/10. R.I.P. Tobacco habit. Day 1 - Tobacco free

Notice I said Tobacco, not nicotine. I just received my order from www.modernvapor.com. Basically, instead of smoking tobacco to get nicotine I've replaced it with an electronic cigarette that vaporizes a flavored nicotine.

You smoke it just like a cigarette, it hits the back of your throat like a cigarette and you get your nicotine fix. What you don't get is the horrible smell, taste or other bad qualities of smoking. I won't sit here and say its perfectly safe or anything, cause I'm still inhaling a drug into my lungs. BUT, I believe it to be much more healthy than smoking tobacco.

Anyway, this thing kicks ass. I'm "vaping" on some chocolate mint right now. Get this...I'm fucking smoking IN THE HOUSE (I've never done that) and its making my breath fresher. Wow.

Is it still considered addictive because of the nicotine?

good luck

Yes. For example, if you didn't smoke and you started "vaping" with a nicotine liquid you would get addicted.

But, they make flavor liquid in varying dosages of nicotine from 0mg to 32mg I think. I'm in the middle since I was a light smoker before. You can ween yourself down to 0 nicotine if that's your goal.

I just smelled my own hand....AND IT DIDN'T MAKE ME GAG!! WOOHOO!

My team lead at work has been doing this for a while and it's working great for him.
Apparently, like many things, there is a whole fan community and apparently some pretty creative modders too. Everything from larger, enhanced battery packs to those who mix their own vaping fluids.
Cool stuff for nicotine geeks.

Yea, there's a whole e-cigarette world out there, its crazy.

I have had absolutely no urge to smoke a cigarette today. So far so good.

I thought this thread was going to be about Kaneman going 'green' completely.
