I think I'm a solid 2 weeks of "chew free"...  Atleast I haven't bought a can and I've only bummed a few dips when out drinking with buddies or shooting.  Oddly enough I went through my last can and just didn't crave a dip anymore.  Its happened like this a few times and I always quit for a few months.  Have noticed that I've been more irritable but going to the gym definitely helps me out a TON!

I went 2 days without a dip earlier this fall when I broke my shoulder and couldn't work out and I was so pissed off it was rediculous... never had withdrawls that bad before and its because I wasn't regularly working out...

Yeah, quitting is a bit tough on what little will power I have... someday, maybe... I just like it too damn much.

I tell ya what... Send Strutnrut1984 a pm and ask him about the opening morning hill my son and I climb. Trust me, if you're a steady smoker and out of shape, this hill is capable of killing you at the pace that my boy and I go up it.

Tell you what.. There's a hilll near you to help you quit smoking. Trust me, you won't want a smoke after just one trip walking up this road. South end of Lake Whatcom. Just north of Mirror lake but west of where the power lines go over head, there's a white gate on the north side of Park road. Park at that gate and walk to the end of the road. Keep to the left. Get to the point where you can walk that road twice in one day, then do it a third time with a day pack on.

You'll give up the smokes really quick!

here's what I got... figuring the light at the end is just silly.
http://www.no7ecigarettes.com/products/No.-7-Stealth-Micro-Starter-Kit.html

so far, the exhale still throws something out. I'm not "smoking" this indoors, don't need nicotine coating everything in my house. That also means there is still the possibility for some scent to get out, though it won't be smoke, and with some of the flavored refills (I assume for the folks that drink flavored coffee... fruits!) you could get, it might be a positive thing.

Either I just drank that beer a little too fast, or that thing packs a wallop. the head is a little foggy after 10 drags and a beer. And I'm a 3/4 pack a day of non-filter lucky strikes (LS/MFT!).

Although the light thing is silly, it serves a purpose (hey you're smoking too much, it's working, the battery is dying, etc...) be silly and get one with a light. After making fun of flavored nicotine, I'm thinking I'm now smoking a black fancy fake cigarette.... there's no way to make this anything but silly.

Doesn't taste too horrible (for those that don't smoke, us smokers think they taste nummy...), little sweet, smooth like 21 y/o single malt.

(I've got a 10% off code for the place I ordered mine from)

I bought the same one.  Your right the things have a kick!  I do have to say that I just did 5 drags on it and could feel a nic buzz.  I think I will order a lower nic refill for it.  One thing I did notice is that after only using it for one day so far that I am breathing easier already.  I have alergies to go on top of my smoking and usually feel "stuffy" all day especially if I am smoking alot.  While I think it will take a bit to get used to, I can say that I have not had a real smoke since I got it.  Today I am waiting for my dog to get out of surgery so would normally be a chainsmoking day but so far so good.  A nice thing is no stink, Even after just one day I put on my "smoking jacket" ie the carhart that hangs by the back door and I could smell the cig stink on it.  I had not noticed that stink in years.

I have one and have used it for about a year.  its nice because you can get different flavors and it still lets you see the smoke.  Also there are 3 different nicotine levels you can ourchase.  Kinda like reg light and ultra-light.

Brad, are you smoking the e-cigarette any less than the real cigarettes?

I know this is a older thread but I thought I'd dig it back up with the new smoke tax.  My wife and I have smoked for 25 or so years, both at minimum a pack a day. Its obviously getting expensive and taking its toll on us as far as health is concerned. We tried OTC patches and gums with no real results. We even called the 1800quitnow that we spent years paying for, what a joke. Now that the tax is in place we are wanting to quit now more than ever. Ive had enough of not being able to breath and WA states lying government.
We ordered a two pack from a place on line called Cignot.com. I only purchased a single kit meaning two e-smokes figuring we could share and see if they actually worked. I also got the hardcore high mg nicotine fluid. After getting the things on a friday between the two of us we only smoked 4 real cigs all weekend. Since you really need both the e-smokes ive just left them with my wife. She has not had a real smoke in over a week. Ive only been using them at home and have not smoked at home in over a week. We just ordered another set with msc accessories for the car and such. Weve invested $120 and have already saved half that in just over a week.
The best part is my wife is not at all missing her smokes and is not having withdraw symptoms that we both had while trying the patch systems. She also believes that her the next order of vapor juice will only be half the nicotine concentration. Granted we both look sort of stupid with a metal pen looking thing hanging from our faces but they are definatly are great way to quit.
If your a hardcore smoker I really think these thing are a great alternative. Cignot.com has great service and I'd suggest them without any hesitation.

Congrats Don - soon you will be down to the minimum nicotine level and smoking the e-cigarette less frequently.  easier to breath and WA legislators will have to find a new way to tax you for next year, since you aren't contributing on the sin taxes like you used to.

Its interesting how some folks have the fortitude to just quit, and how some struggle with it immensly.  I am not passing judgement with that comment by the way.  I don't smoke.  Never have except for maybe at an occasional party when the booze was flowing.  My father quite after 30+ years of at least a pack a day though.  Just cold turkey, boom, not going to smoke anymore.  Maybe he is just tough.  Well, I know he is.  I have snappers here at work that try every gimmick in the book, but they have no self control, so as soon as something stressful happens or they get bored, out the door they go to go light up.

I've known hard core junkies that said cigarettes are the hardest drug to quit, so with that good luck and I hope you kick the habit.

I know some hard core smokers that have had very good success with the e-cigarette over the last year.  They are still smoking the e-cigarette, but they are down to about 1/2 - 1/4 of the volume by comparison.  They also feel better, have less cost associated with it, don't stink like cigarettes, and are working their way down to 0 use.

No offense taken. I am still struggling but my wife is not. I'm set in my ways and can smoke in my shop all day long. Its pretty rare to see me even while working without a smoke a hanging out of my mouth. We have never smoked in our house so that makes it alot easier at home.
I think the e-smokes are great for those that are like the wife and I. Great for the bored or even stressfull times. We can always go outside and puff on the e-smokes.

Last year I paid $1642 in just wa state smoke tax alone. This year for tax alone would be $2372 and I cant run to the mail box without hacking up a lung. Along with hopefully getting my lungs back, I get to save over 5 grand a year. :)
