    I used to sell em until my payment processor dropped me.... I have the Ego/Rivas and use a Titanium INdulgence. If anyone wants one I can sell for wholesale prices... just want to get rid of them!

    Saved my life! I'm over 2 years tobacco-free thanks to my eCig. I love this product. Don't buy at the mall or convenience stores - those are poor quality and won't last. I'd recommend a starter kit Joye 510 model, or the eGo mentioned above. Check with him for his wholesale price - the eGo is a good model.

    Good luck!

    i'm truly surprised not more responded. I guess the e-cig is not as popular as I thought it was. I personally don't smoke...anymore. I quit cold turkey 4 3/4 years ago. my friend switched over to the e-cig luci and has been using it ever since her surgery. I took a puff and i was like every former smoker would be...smitten with that inhaling sensation....now i'm battling with the thought ....should i vapor or not...i can not get the thought out of my head but i really don't want to go back to smoking again.

    i love the eCig almost as much as i enjoy smoking. the problem that i found with it is its heavy but i know a couple of people that it helped out a lot with.

    my husband who smoked 2.5 packs a day quit smoking a month ago and he went cold turkey. he says if he uses the ecig it will make him want a real one even more so he opts not to use one.

    I bought a starter kit yesterday after talking to some friends about it last weekend. I went to a store that only sells the e-cigs and accessories. Nice, upscale store. They had 4 brands and I bought the V2. Don't buy from convienence stores because those brands just throw out the products without taking into consideration the taste or the feel of them compared to a real cig. In the store I went to, they let me try all of them before I decided. I didn't do it to quit smoking, although if it led to that, that would be great. I bought it because I figured that if I'm going to smoke, I might as well only inhale nicotine and not the other 1000s of other harmful chemicals in tobacco cigs. Plus, it's cheaper in the long run. (Starter kit was $80; 5 cartridges are $15 and that's equivalent to about 7.5 packs of cigs.) I haven't had a real cig in 2 days and not craving one.

    So, did you find any e-cigs you like? I have the same question - which brand and why?

    I tried some E-cigs whilst trying to quit smoking, but tbh they just made me crave a real cigarette even more due to doing the smoking action but not really getting a "buzz" or quite the same feel from it. I quit completely for 2 months a while back, just went straight up cold turkey and found it by far the most effective.. It sucks for a couple of days, but you can feel your body becoming so much healthier, so much quicker than other methods. I would have kept it up had it not been that I needed to quit alcohol too.. unfortunately I had to cave in to one and it was smoking!

    Thanks for replying. My husband started smoking again and my sister smokes as well. SO it is really hard when cigarettes are so easily accessible. That's why I wanted to try e-cigs. And, if I have a few drinks -there goes the will-power. Still might try them as I am not as heavy smoker as the other two. I don't even smoke at work. Crazy that I can go 8 hours without a cigarette, but choose to smoke when I am home or out.
