      I am ashamed to say, that  on occasions, I smoke a pipe.

      just wear - don´t compare - what matters is that one loves what one is wearing…

        That's actually how I began, at 18!  My smoker friends said it was dumb.  People still say I act like an old man.  It takes patience to (learn to) smoke a pipe though.

          Anyone try these before? I just ordered the starter pack from blucigs.com

          Trying to quit. My sis who's a doctor says that using these things has a very high success rate

          At $15 a pack in NYC, it also saves me a lot of money to switch to these/quit

              Doug, I have been wanting to try them out. Let me know how it goes. Also, this thread should be merged into http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=412.0…

                Good luck to the both of you. I smoke half a pack a week, so I never thought about quitting.

                    I caught Jody's 16 year old son stealing my cigarettes, so I figured it's time for me to set a good example

                    Plus, I'm sick of the damn smokers cough in the morning

                    The other plus about them is that you can smoke them anywhere since it's just water vapor with nicotine and flavoring…including airports and airplanes (I would do it in the bathroom so I don't get any lip) where I find myself spending waaaaay too much time

                      So I got these on Fri, I've only had three real smokes since Fri. It's pretty good, though I'm blowing through the cartridges to stave off the real cravings

                      Hopefully, I can stick to this, will keep you guys updated

                          Blucigs.com was out of stock (and I heard some horror stories about their CS) so I wound up going with volcanoecig.com instead after reading their rave reviews

                                  On my second day without a cigarette, five days total on this thing, coming from a pack a day habit

                                  Doing ok, this is a lot easier than going cold turkey, but it's still not as easy as just lighting up a butt

                                  Btw, I wound up using this system because 1) cold turkey sucks 2) I get a weird reaction from the gum (makes me really edgy, even on the low dosages) 3) I get a callous underneath the patch, so I wind up changing locations every couple days

                                  Feeling better overall though, despite the withdrawal symptoms (though I nearly ripped someone's head off today). Smokers cough in the morning is gone, although I do cough up some of the stuff building up in my lungs now and again from real cigs.

                                  I typically work out in the morning because after work, I've been smoking all day long and I don't get a very good workout. Went to the gym late yesterday and had a GREAT workout

                                    fuck. 12 hours and severe stress have resulted in the disappearance of 5 packs of marly reds, presumed location: somewhere in my and my girlfriend's lungs. haven't smoked in 4? years

                                    😶 😶 😶

                                        now all i want to do is sit down in the stairwell and chainsmoke

                                          Two weeks now smoke free!!!

                                          Rush Limbaugh just plugged Volcano ecigs on his radio show last week and they've been sold out of their budget model ever since…

                                            Ok, I promised you guys a review

                                            I've been on the Volcano Magma electronic cigarettes for three weeks now, and haven't had a real cigarette since. I was REALLY cranky the first week, but didn't want to have a cigarette.

                                            There IS a learning curve to these things. "Vaping" on an ecig is a slow, low drag, not a quick hit like on a regular (analog is what ecigarette vapers call it) cigarette. If you try to drag on it hard, you'll wind up with a bunch of liquid in your mouth. Once you get over that, you feel like you're really smoking, and still went with my coworkers for cigarette breaks (until today, it was my last day in the NY office)

                                            I feel A LOT better these days. I was smoking about a pack a day, and felt like crap at the end of the day, stank to high heaven, and felt like I was wearing a shirt two sizes too small. I forgot how good it feels to really BREATHE again, and my sense of smell and taste are coming back.

                                            The best part of these things is that I don't have to go outside to use it. I've used it at my desk at work, and Jody lets me use it at home since there's no real smell. Yes, legally you can use it indoors, and I've used it on the Amtrak.

                                            As for the flavors, immediately I got the menthol flavor, since I was a Newport smoker. The menthol flavor actually tastes more like peppermint candy than a menthol cigarette, but that's ok, you adjust fast. I then followed up with a watermelon flavor, which I love, and lately I've been mixing my own flavors. Currently, the favorite is pomegranate dark chocolate (got the idea from a Haagen Daz flavor) and I have mango cream coming in (also an idea from a Haagen Daz Flavor)

                                            It's a pretty fun little gadget, paid the extra money for the purple batteries (the ends of the batteries glow just like a real cigarette will glow when you inhale)

                                            Rush Limbaugh has been on a rant on his radio show about ecigarettes, and likes Volcano as well, so they've been selling out regularly lately.

                                            Overall, a major thumbs up. I feel great by not smoking real cigarettes, the flavors are awesome, and I like the attention I draw with my purple LED ecig. For reference:
