Lots of brands out there... help me narrow the field. Do you have one? Does it "work"? Pro's? Cons? Are you really saving money? Feel free to add any other useful info..

Thanks in Advance ! :-)

1. it is not regulated.
2. for most people it gives them more nicotine then when they smoke a normal cig.

that is where my research ended for myself.

Try this for info Electronic Cigarette Savings Calculator (http://www.ecigarettes365.com/ecigarette_savings_calculator)

I have tried a few different brands. I have not been disappointed with any of them. I just use them for a fix occasionally. I'm using a disposable Blu now because it was given to me. I love the flavor and I've had the same one for a year now. I would think that the batteries usually do not last this long but I keep it in my van and take just a few puffs per month.

Thaanks :-) I DID in fact look at the calculator earlier... it will be like a pay raise :-) Now if they just made E-Beer....

Smoked for 40 years, took Chantix for 3 weeks and quit. Cig free for 4 years now.
Man up and either quit or keep running outside in the rain to feed an expensive habit

Outrageous.......I believe I seen $7. somewhere one day. I quit in '08 using Chantex, never could have done it with it.

E-beer? :buttkick:

Smoked from say 80 til 2003. Most of it pack and half a day. Quit in 2003 in a week using some weird product, cigs that have stepped nicotine levels. Two days on each level.

That and the promise from my wife that after a month, I could buy a $1300 upgrade kit for my car, since we would save that in a year of not smoking. Accounting for the price increases since 2003, I'm pretty sure I could have bought a really nice used Miata. Call it $20 a carton a week.

Yep, worked like a champ:) Added high Octane Mode, good for + 20whp after adding race fuel and hitting a switch, and Dial-A_Boost, three different settings on a thumbwheel, was a lot of fun.

But, back to the OP, I do have to say, after some research, seems that the E-cigs (called "vaping", not sure I like that) is a better alternative than regular smoking. Brands? Cant say, but looks like Blu sells one piece dispoasbles for about $10 each at Sheetz, so you could try it fairly cheaply.
