E cigarettes?

That was all good advice. Put the Alcohol down and step away from the smokes.
Also have enough respect for your BF and don't smoke. He didn't fall in love w/a smoker, so why put him thru that.
I also think you are a bit snotty and if you didn't want to hear the truth you shouldn't have asked.

Also, how is anyone sposed to take you seriously when your on a Health and Fitness site double fisting huge brews.
Grow up.
Go buy the dang E-Cig trade one addiction for another and continue drinking, that's always the answer isn't it?

Having used one to quit smoking a few months ago I have to say I don't think it will do anything for you. E Cigs are nothing like the real thing. They don't taste, smell or feel the same so it's likely your urge to smoke is not going to be satisfied by one.

Thanks Tips! You've really made a difference in my life and now I hope to change to become an abstainer...of everything!!!

But seriously...anyone have any actual advice...like about the topic I posted?

Honestly I think the advice you were giving about alcohol was great. If the only time you ever smoke at this point is while intoxicated, then it should be pretty obvious what the problem is.

Good luck!

I suggest the 510. that's what I started on. now I use EGO but they are larger than normal cigarettes. just starting out you should be able to find a 510 kit for around $30. get the strongest nicotine strengths you can then starting out you can always taper it down later

I used to have one and it was not the best model id say, but it was great and way better and cleaner than smoking.

you can also get them with no nicotine, which being a non smoker would be better.

they make cigarettes taste discusting cause they are so clean and you still get the hit in the back of your throat.


why yall telling her to stop drinking? she can drink if she wants, and she asked about e cigarettes, not about if she should stop drinking.

nothing wrong with a few beers if thats what you're into.

I use the VaporKing e-cigs from Vapor4Life.com:

If the only time you smoke is during drinking, then it's not the nicotine that is getting you, it's more than likely the action of smoking.

You can give those a try and see if they help. A bunch of my friends vape, and it's about 50-50 regarding the percentage of people who find it a suitable replacement for the real thing.


ETA: the cartomizers I use have no nicotine in them at all.

The Blue brand sucks. Look into one of the kinds that have attachment that you can change out yourself. The ones that look similar to this are the closest to a real cigarette in my opinion

I've been vaping for 4 years. Helped me quit 2 of the years, cut back since.

This below is an ego, and what the above posters have recommended. It is 100% suggested over the other brands. Everyone has their favorite brand of liquids though. I buy local from elixir liquid, but they have an online store. But yeah. Get an Ego Single Twist V2 650. Its rather cheap, small and of high quality.

510 is the threading. Think like.. the teeth of the bolts and what not. Theres a 901 threading that is common in disposable and lesser quality products. Haven't seen a good 901.


510 mini's are the little ecigs that look like cigarettes. They are nice, but they have a few issues. A) Short battery life. If you get a 510 mini, get 2 or 3 of them, or you'll be vaping 3 hours, then breaking 3 hours for it to charge. They have a this automatic system that sometimes goes off in your pocket... creating heavy burn and screwing up a atomizer/cartomizer/tankaomizer (Different delivery and storage system for the ecig). C) They just aren't strong. You don't get a good flavor, or sensation of nicotine.

The parts are essentially...

Battery (Like the ego)
Atomizer/Cartomizer/Tankaomizer (Different delivery and storage system for the ecig)
Ejuice. (A billion of flavors out there. You think of it, it can exist or already exist)


This is an atomizer and cartridge setup. Its not as popular anymore. People use tankomizers mostly from what I've seen lately.

One of the issues though is that it may not be right for you. The less nicotine the less throat hit. Without the throat hit it just kind of.. feels like you are inhaling perfume. So it'd continue your nicotine addiction.. so it seems counter intuitive if your intent is to stay quit. Now, if your intent is to just not smell as bad and annoy your boyfriend, get one of those, get it with 24-36 mg of nioctine. Just enjoy it. I will say they don't taste like cigarettes. I started with 555 for my ejuice flavor. It was like tobacco, some kind of wood, and peanutbutter together. Was good, and it led me to do all the sweet flavors instead of tobacco.

1. when you ask for advice, you don't get to choose what people say
2. you said your bf hates it
3. you said you do it once *you are a few drinks in* which means you drink even more
4. you said you regret it

I stand by my advice. While I don't think alcohol is poison, I do think it is causing issues for you.

If you are smoking when you drink you haven't actually quit smoking , just do what you want as I've heard you only die once !

But seriously...anyone have any actual advice...like about the topic I posted?

That was useful, relevant advice. If you can't control your behavior while drinking, you should consider drinking less.

Do stuff good for you .
Don't do stuff bad for you.

Hey everyone,

I quit smoking a couple of years ago, but I'm totally guilty of smoking when I drink. My BF hates it and I always wake up regretting it. None of that seems to matter when I'm a few drinks deep though! So I'm considering getting an e-cigarette...I have looked at the "eroll" and the "510"...those seem smaller and more suitable for part time use...
Any recommendations?

I'm guessing that the places you go to drink still allow smoking inside? That's a problem then. The only thing I can say is to respect your boyfriend and just not smoke. Don't even do an e-cigarette because you're not curbing the bad habit. Find something else to do with the empty hand. Hold a straw.

If your state DOES have the no smoking law then it's simple: respect your boyfriend and don't go outside for smokes with your friends.

When I started dating my husband I was smoking. He flat out told me he doesn't date smokers. I quit smoking that day because I liked him and respected that he didn't want me to smoke. It's been 17 years since that day and I am glad I stopped. I will admit that the first few times I was at a bar it was hard to get used to my empty hand but that didn't last long.

If you know your bf will be mad and you will have regret the next day then just stop. Don't trade one habit (smoking) in for another habit (e-cigarettes).

There are lot of people who only smoke when they drink. For some reason they seem to be linked to each other. The best bet is to try and stop all together. Dont buy cigarettes before you go out. Tell you friends not to offer you any at all when you are drinking.

I had read somewhere that there were health concerns about e-cigs due to the lack of research and information on health benefits. As Ironsmasher said, currently there is no legislation in place with regards to selling them etc. so you dont actually know what is them. Here is an article from the Guardian about them.

Seriously though, try diversion techniques first before contemplating buying these.

Good luck
