I do. They are great if you actually want to quit. There's a withdrawal period, since all you get is the nicotine. however, theyre fairly new, so they aren't perfect. I recommend the ego-t system, but you should know that one of the parts (called the atomizer) needs to be cleaned once a week. electronic cigarette forums are  very helpful. I haven't had a smoke in 6 months.

Just keep in mind they are a PITA if you dont know what you're doing. I do love them though

I actually use them as well. I have a two piece design where every cart has an atomizer in them. So you don't have to worry about gunk building up on them. Which I'm thankful for. Haha.

What do you have an auto or manual? I have both and prefer the auto. It's easier. Haha. I use V2. That's the company name. Their flavors taste like crap. So I just stick w/ menthol.

I wanted a Newport taste but I'm new to E-Cigs just started about two weeks ago. I know you can get blank carts and add your own flavors, do you know anything about that? Cause I've been curious and did some research but I wanted to ask someone. And you might be that someone. Haha. :D

What do you mean by PITA?

I almost went apeshit for a guy smoking one over the snooker table 'til I realised there was no smoke coming off it. It may be legal to smoke inside but you might want to watch for that.

A friend of mine was using these last time I saw him, when he stayed at my place for a few days, but that was 6 months ago or so.  Not sure he still smokes or not.  He liked it pretty well at the time.  I thought it gave the air a weird, faint ozone kind of smell.  It started to bug me a bit after a while, but not anywhere near as much as cigarette smoke bothers me.
It took an hour to write; I figured it'd take an hour to read.

Swedish Snus is still better if you're still wanting a tobacco product to ween off of.

That helped soooooooooo much. Cause there isn't you know, 20 different meanings for the abbreviation of PITA. Thanks for trying to help though.

I hate Snus... Agh. Such a mistake for me personally ever trying it. Gagh! That's my opinion though.

I don't smoke cigs inside unless it's permitted... So I don't smoke E-cigs inside either. That's how I am with them. Plus, I'm positive everyone would stare at me. Though my batch of E-cigs are black.
So it should help recognize unless you are familiar w/ cigs and think they are cloves or something.

Was it an American brand?  If so, it's garbage, don't waste your money on it.  It tastes like shit, hardly has any nicotine in it and it probably has other harmful additives like most cigarettes do.

Swedish stuff is completely different.

Yeah it was Camel... Haha. Idk if I am able to get Swedish stuff here in the US.
Do you know? I don't even know Swedish brands to be honest with you. (I know I could Google and everyone on here tells me to Google stuff. But I Think people rely on Google tooooooo much. What ever happened to general knowledge.)

Second result, don't even have to click the link. Compare with context. It's pretty obvious what the intended meaning is. First link gives you a list of less than ten possibilities... maybe you should actually look.

I would like to ask you nicely to please leave this thread. I don't want anyone in here who is a for a lack of better word, a hater. Please, no more of this spite. Leave it as it is and go on with your day.

Going back on subject:

I'm vaping on an E-Cig right now. Haha. Tastes so good. Anyone try the peppermint before? It is delicious. :D Haha. I think that is the only flavor other than Cherry that actually tastes good.

Anyone know of a site that has really good flavors that actually taste good? Cause where I get my carts as stated, the flavors kind of... suck. haha.

Yeah, this guy had a replica one that looked like the real thing until you got close and saw it was plastic. Even had the hot rocks at the end that lit up when you took a drag :/

Northener would be the best bet if you're currently in the US.

Check out General since they usually produce the highest quality stuff.  I don't know how much nicotine you'd be wanting, but there's always the stronger portions.  I've heard that General Onyx is amazing stuff.  Although it probably costs more than others, it's high quality; it apparently has a great taste and a lot of nicotine.

You can just look up reviews on youtube too and see what other people prefer.

If you're not looking to quit and you do enjoy Swedish Snus, it'd be a great alternative.  It hasn't been shown to give mouth or gum cancer since the amount of carcinogens are extremely low because it's pasteurized rather than fire roasted.  It's even considered a food product in Sweden.  The only thing it has been really known to cause is gingivitis and that's if you don't brush your teeth (pretty much the same either way)...

How long does one can normally last? A pack of cigs would last me about 2 days. Sometimes 3 days.

I just got done watching a whole bunch of their videos. Thanks for the recommendation. It was really insightful.

After watching some of their vids (And of other Youtubers) I have decided I'm going to start using E-liquid and refill carts instead of buying pre-filled carts. Haha. Here I come EliquidPlanet.com :D

Found some promo codes for that site which is nice. But according to all of Youtube (Or just the vids I saw) Their NPT Essence tastes pretty damn close to Newport. Which is what I use to smoke. So I am gonna have to give that a try here in the next couple of weeks.

Anyone use E-Liquid? Any suggestions?

It really depends how often you use portions (the little bags of snus). 

It all really depends on the brand as quality differs; a single portion of the General I linked can last for two hours and there's 24 in a can.  A can usually goes for ~$5 depending on what kind you get.  I know for some people it can last them a week or even longer.
