Ok, I heard about this electronic cigarette from a co-worker. However, I have yet to see one other than photos on the web. I started doing some research and found this forum, after viewing some youtube videos. I have been reading these forums for a few hours and have noticed that are a lot of good folks here willing to spend there time answering questions about this whole e-cig craze that seems to be getting started. I have to wonder why? Are you guys and gals selling this stuff? If you are just hanging around here answering questions and not making a profit off of selling this stuff then people are really jazzed about this whole concept.
I have very intrigued and seriously considering getting into this. But first I have a few questions of my own. I am just going to lay them out there.
General Questions:
How long have electronic cigarettes been around?
How safe is the vapor? (How easy is it to overdose on nicotine?)
Why does Firefox think vapor is not spelled correctly?! (well that one is a little off topic :/)
How long have you been vaping?
Did you start vaping to quit smoking, or for just a "safer" switch?
Did it work?
How long did it take you to quit?
Can you give a good reason too start using an electronic cigarette other than health reasons?
Choice and Price:
In your experience, have you actually saved money by switching?
Compared to cartons of cigarettes, what was your start-up cost?
What is the difference between a 510 and a pen-style? (Man I hope that's not the same thing)
Is there a comparison chart for all the brands and/or models?
Usage:
On average, how long does a bottle of juice last you?
On average, how long does a battery last before you have to buy a new one?
On average, how long does a vaporizer last before you have to buy a new one?
Compared to smoking a normal cigarette, do you have to reload (rejuice) your e-cig? If so, how many times?
Compared to smoking a normal cigarette, is smoking an e-cig as satisfying?
Once the juice is loaded into the cartridges how long does it take to evaporate before it's unusable?
I smoke Pall Mall light 100's and smoke about a pack and a half a day. I smoke 4 or 5 before work, and one on the way to work in the car. I smoke one (sometimes 2) between morning and lunch, 2 or 3 on an hour lunch break, and 1 (sometimes 2) before I get off work. One on the way home, and about 10 to 15 in the afternoon. (Wow! I never wrote it all out like that before! I seriously smoke way too much!) I need something that I can take to work and not have to worry about fiddling with during the day. And I need a battery that will last all day. What would be the best "package" to start out with in a situation like this?
I hope at least one person is willing to spend the time to answer these questions. I feel like it's a lot to ask, but there does not seem to be any one place to get all of these questions answered. If you respond, thank you very much!
