E-cigarettes?

[prettyserpentine]

Hey! I just saw this thread, and it's like the perfect place to ask my question!

My other half lives in the States, I live in the UK. I want to get him an e-cig to help him quit, but are the ones we have here the same as the ones in the USA? Or can anyone point me to a website where I can buy one for him? I want something good, he likes the ones that taste like hazelnuts, and back whenever I quit, I did it cold turkey, so I have no experience.

So... Help!

Bring a can of oxygen we can share.

Get your own! These vapor things are killing my lungs! *Hack wheeze cough*





To be fair, I have bronchitis right now. That'll teach me to quit smoking, eh?

If you're getting him something with a battery that needs charged, you're going to want to buy online so the charger plugs in properly here. Unless your outlets are the same. I honestly don't pay attention to anything. This is becoming a problem....

Bronchitis likely due to the exertion of having to lug around 40lbs of gear just to get a smoke. It's like having to carry around a second purse.

Joe...hope you quit and stay off of them.

I quit after the Army....just couldn't do it while I was in.

After my terminal leave was up and I knew they weren't going to be all "J/K!!! 1 MORE DEPLOYMENT BITCH!!! Report to Ft.Bragg at zero go fuck yourself, best regards- DA"

Now?

Is there a certain brand that's good?

Sweet Jesus....

Cartomizers? Tank systems?

Back in my day, if you wanted to smoke, you smoked. If you wanted to quit, you quit.

And if you wanted to fool around with tank systems, you'd wait until the lung cancer kicked in and you'd be wheeling around one of those small, green oxygen tanks around with you till the end of days.

Fucking kids and their smoking-techno-babble.

You have no idea...the technology changes as fast as any other electronics. I fell out of touch in a years time and pretty much had to learn all over when I wanted a new device. I would have been better off just quitting believe me. I spent a boatload just finding something that I like and worked well for me.

My gear is small and lightweight. My purse is a monster, though. I NEED to be able to carry around half of my closet and vanity. And shoes. And other purses.

That I don't know. A simple search should yield plenty of options. My friend's website isn't finished and operational yet or I'd link you.

I will tell you that I've tried flavored fluids from diyflavorshack.com and even though the prices were amazing, everything I've tried so far has been disgusting and a total let down.

 

[topale]

It must be. Although my friend just sent me a 2" tank (I think that's what it's called; I don't pay attention when people say words). I met a guy the other week at the bar that had, what I assume to be, the type you're talking about because the base of the thing was massive and heavy as fuck. Could double as a blunt instrument if a bar fight broke out, which is nice. I think the sheer weight of it would drive me nuts, though.

Yeah its not inconspicuous at all. I would not carry this thing around outside the house or car and definitely wouldn't be caught dead with it in a bar....you'd be a spectacle.

I wouldn't have been able to quit without them. The first week was brutal but after that I couldn't imagine switching back to cigarettes. I hope he has the same experience. Good luck to him
