Trying to quit smoking? Here's an alternative...

Yes! only has 3/4 ingredients compared to the 4k chemicals in a regular cig. The nicotine isn't the one that causes the cancer and isn't that harmful. It can be about the same harm as caffeine to the body. the other ingredients is Propylene Glycol and or Vegetable Glycerin which is used in just about everything. It acts as the binding agent to vapor the nicotine, the same as what it does in an asthma inhaler. The rest is just flavoring.

I smoked for 14 years. I quit on December 7th 2009. I used the gum for the first two weeks then just stoped. And at the same time I stoped all things that reminded me of smokeing. Like Soda/coffee but that was too hard I still have coffee.

I found the hardest things were the after meal smokes. The important things is to keep your self busy and not to think about it. It is hard and its still hard.

Good luck

 

I was a 2 pack a day smoker and quit 8 years ago using a big ol bag of hard candy and will power. You have to want to quit or it will never happen. I do smoke the occasional cigar still

 

I spoke to a pal of mine that lives in NY and has been vaping for about a year and a half. He's a total nerd-o on things he's passionate about (re: Vaping) and researches and try's new ways of doing things until he's satisfied so i do trust his opinion.

I asked about the 510 series "Titan Tank" E's (and the TECC 510 series in general) - my wants are a cig style unit with a great throat hit and good quality build. I used to smoke 10-15 cigs/day now i'm down to a couple/day but will burn 5-10 when i drink, which is 2-3 times a week.

This is what he has to say:

I would say definitely definitely stay away from that. Tanks are pretty much widely hailed as a shitty hassle that really doesn't work out so well.

I can definitely hook you up with everything you need (for just a squinge over $50) and that gives, what I believe, to be the best experience. Just a question: that one is pretty small, very cig-ish, is that what you're looking for? Maybe we should do a phone call sometime!

I could write a huuuuuuuuge novel on exactly WHY this is your best bet but I'll just throw you the link:

You'd be looking at getting the Volt, this is what is known as one of the "next-generation" KR-808's (or just 808 they're often called). Other retailers selling the exact same product made at the same chinese factory are also: Bloog MaxxFusion and Halo G6.

The Volt is priced the best and has fucking awesome CS if you ever need a return or anything. My only caveat is that I personally prefer to fill my own carts (or cartomizers, a combination of a cartridge and atomizer in one), and I don't use the Volt juices, I use 3rd party juice-vendors juices (Smokeless Image is a hardware vendor, not a juice vendor, so they sell generic tobacco juices that lots of people LOVE, but I don't).

If you're interested in filling up your own stuff I could send you juices and blank cartomizers that will work on your Volt and you could get a Smokeless Image pre-filled sample pack to see if you like any of their flavors.

Agh gotta go back to work, already wrote way more than I thought I would!

So on his reccomendation, i ordered the Volt today - i'll try to remember to post in this thread once it arrives.

theres different nicotine strengths, which is good. it goes from 0mg (which is like smoking an ultra-ultra light) to 36mg (which is like smoking a Newport w/o the filter). so depending on the smoker, you can choose the strength and its all up to you....

yes. no tobacco and less toxic chemicals that are found in a normal cig

 

In many states the FSC crap is what finally made me roll my own and cut down.

the copper after taste and lung butter caused by smoking carpet glue was a major factor...

 

also for TH it's going to depend on your nic strength and even some juice flavors. When I started with Atomic Cinnacide from tastyvapor i think it was 24mg or 36, but I had friends that still smoke try it and it knocked them on their ass. They tried to claim it was all because of my silver bullet and will no longer try any of my flavors. But they did also come around and are now vaping the Atomic Cinnacide as well.

There are tons of stuff to personalize to get what works for you, different voltages, different atomizer resistances, different atomizers, dripping, dipping, tanks, cartos, automatic feed systems, battery mods, variable voltage mods, goes on and on.

 

It's all personal preference. Personally I wouldn't buy anything from that website (smokeless image). I've used drip kits before and I think they're too much of a hassle, which is what the volt is. It doesnt hold too much fluid so for heavy vapors thats not a good thing. Second, the volt has a small battery which means you'll have to charge more often.

 

Yeah, if i were heavy i wouldn't have stuck with the cig style, but my aim is to be as light as possible, here and there type - so smaller capacity and relatively short battery life ought to work fine for me. (plus, if i end up vaping much at work, i may get a pass through...) And this kit fits my style. Hope it works out.

Beezy, do you have a cig/slim style you prefer over the Volt (808's)?

 

no sorry. i've never had any luck with cig style e-cigs. since im a heavy vaporer, i kill the batteries quick and i can never find replacement batteries...
