This weekend is my 1 year anniversary of not smoking analog cigarettes. I have been using the e-cig all year, I am a vapor and I love it. I am reducing the nicotine levels in my juices. But, I can see me continuing to vape even after I have reduced my nicotine level to zero. I enjoy the flavors available when using an e-cig. I no longer use tobacco flavors, in fact after 1 month of vaping I quit tobacco flavors. I use a few different models. I started with an In-Life Regal, and soon found out I could get a better value from other models. So, I found an online vendor at awesomevapor.com and I purchase all my supplies through them. Most of my batteries lasted about a year(I just replaced a few last month). I have saved a ton of money, and I feel like a non-smoker. I breathe easier, I have high energy, and I feel all around much better than I did without smoking. I smell better, my teeth are cleaner, my gums are not as sensitive to cold as they used to be. There are a host of reasons to try this method. For me smoking was not just about the nicotine, it was the ritual behind it, handeling the cigarette, lighting it, etc. The e--cig provides the ritual. As far as the FDA is concerned it is not a quit smoking device, but an alternative nicotine delivery system, but if you reduce your nic level to zero, then you are not even getting nicotine, but still have the enjoyment of inhaling and exhaling a smoke like substance(vapor). I have recommended friends of mine try it and I have at least 5 friends that have eliminated analog cigarettes from their lives by using the e-cig. You might find this article interesting at the FDA site. http://fda.org/index.php?category=quit-smoking .
Good luck to anyone trying to quit using any method you choose. If you choose the e-cig, and have any questions, I would be glad to try to help.
