Off the topic of billiards, but....

you're right, it is off topic

So why not post it in the correct forum to begin with, so you don't have to waste the time of a mod to move it to where it should have been posted to start with?

There's a forum called Non Pool Related

It's here

http://forums.azbilliards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=13

I'm not being personal here, just asking a question that many others may be wondering too. (although with these types of questions, you always get the "what's the big deal" crowd weighing in too):D There's rules and structure in place in forums to try and keep some kind of order and rhyme and reason to where to find things. If half the people decided "what's the big deal", then it would be a total clusterfock here.

(I never understand the people that admit right off the bat that they shouldn't be posting non pool related posts in the pool related forum, but do so anyway) If you can help me out with the thinking behind that move, by all means enlighten me:)
 
I've been using them for about 5 weeks now. I smoked since I was a teenager and have never quit for more than a couple weeks. I'll put it this way, it's like any other smoking cessation device. The only thing that makes eCigs different, in my opinion, is that they're more fun than the others. The New York Times had a write-up about them a few weeks ago (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/08/s...html?_r=1&n=Top/News/Science/Columns/Findings). There isn't a whole lot of information about them other than the obvious. They're much better than smoking and the health risks appear to be extremely minimal, especially when compared to tobacco use. They're cheaper and since they're not FDA approved as a true smoking cessation device, the government isn't making any money off them (which is one of the issues the NYT hints at).

If you're thinking about using them, this is what I have to say - you have to tell yourself you're quitting. The first few days will be as rough as any other time you've tried to quit. You go through withdrawal. As well, vaping doesn't give you the same sensation as smoking. It'll keep you busy and it might actually curb your cravings but it's pretty clear the nicotine isn't hitting your bloodstream the same way it does when you smoke.

One of the things I did before I quit was measure my resting heart rate. Before I quit, I was scoring consistently around 70. Within a few days, it dropped to 60. As I'm typing this message, I just measured at 49. Just viewing this number on a regular basis reminds me how horrible smoking is.
 
Cool, was curious about other people's experiences. I've been on eCigs for about 4 months now, and only occasionally even think about "real" cigarettes. I smoked for over 20 years and this is the only thing that's worked.
 
This is actually fine here... I'll fix it for ya..... If I had a pool room and they banned smoking or they were about to I would sell the ecigs and have a few on hand for rental for the cost of a cartomizer.....

The batteries are about 10 bucks and you can buy cartomizers for 2-3 bucks.... The e-liquid comes in all sorts of flavors and a bottle of it lasts me a month vaping everyday and costs 14bucks.....

I use a 1000mah ego passthru battery with a 901 bauway atomizer and 510 to 901 adapter.... I can vape connected to the computer USB while it charges and I am down to a pack of regular cigs a week... The battery lasts 2 days per charge....

Click to expand...

The e-liquid comes in different strengths... I am using the 36mg and it does give the same sensation as smoking... I went thru 6-7 different types of atomizers before I found one that was warm enough and had enough vapor to feel like smoking... I also kept trying different flavors and settled on the dekang us tobacco from mad vapes... very very close to a camel light for me....... also ordered the coffee flavor from them and I throw a couple of drops of that in in the morning......
