Every time you light up picture yourself as burning a $20 bill.

Not to be confused with the ones you see at the kiosk or truck stops. Those are gimmicks and money makers for distribution sake. I've no stake (or dog in this hunt), but would happily steer anyone to the proper source.
Feel free to PM for particulars. I've vaped for over two years and know who the legit vendors are, again.....with no benefit to me whatever. Nor do I wish to turn this into an e-cig hijack. Perhaps when there are more, we could begin a thread?

Thank You myvan. Perhaps this could be my positive contribution to the site. I've learned a lot reading other post on different subjects, and it's helped me bunches. I would still refuse to provide links, other than through PM, but the door is open for general conversation?
Would highly recommend the 650mah protected battery. It has shut off protection and will last a good 6 hours for average vaping. (average being a 1 pack a day smoker). Forget these little cigarette look a likes you see. That battery will last about an hour, the juice even less.
Delivery device would be a very simplistic refillable clearomizer that holds an equal amount of juice as the battery life. Very simple to fill and I would never admit to filling one while driving. It's a one touch allowable operation.....dontcha know.
Juice comes in all manner and variants. I stick with tobacco based stuff....while some do cheese cake, blueberry muffin, energy drink, or even red hots. The mg choice varies from 24 (think marb red) to 0 nicotine. Choose the strength you wish.
Start up price is around 50.00. Battery mentioned will last 6 months, cartridge mentioned is about 1-4 weeks, and juice is as used.
There remains a plethora of information online. The news media would have you believe this is a dangerous adventure, to be ridiculed and scorned. Of course, anytime you hear that.....run to the nearest place and buy what they're downplaying.
Studies show the benefits and I can personally attest. Like fishing, golf, or expedite trucking (gulp) it becomes a hobby and you'll never want a cigarette again. They're just nasty in comparison.

How is it possible to smoke 5 packs a day? 2-3 at a time? A pack at a time like the Coneheads?

Rofl, when my eyes opened first thing I did was light up and probably lit up again every 10 minutes or so smoking about 3 packs a day. If I sat around the TS counter all day waiting for a load all I did was smoke and drink coffee all day. Then get a load and drive all night only to drink more coffee and smoke more cigs. I might have smoked 5 packs 2 or 3 times a month back then but did smoke 3 packs a day the last 5 years I smoked.

When you quit smoking make sure to drink a lot of water. It takes 4 days to flush the chemicals and nicotine out of your body. When you do get the urge to smoke find a distraction. That urge will last 10 - 15 minutes. The time between each urge to smoke will increase the longer you quit. Get on your computer and look up what happens to your body when you quit and look at the images of what happens when you don't. Talk to your doctor about a stress test. I don't know how many times I almost started to smoke again but talked myself out of it.
Maverick: If that's the only contribution you ever make, it's a very good one. Not only because it answered the question asked, [which some didn't], but it put some new and useful info into the convo as well.
I've tried a couple methods: the gum, patch, hypnosis, acupuncture, and even a psyche med called Wellbutrin [many depressed patients reported that it made them feel like not smoking, so it's 'off label' use began] and none worked, not even the pills with the silly happy face, sigh. The simple truth is, I don't really WANT to quit - I wanted to please someone else, and wanting to [really REALLY ] is a prerequisite.
Since reading your post with it's strange words ['vaping'?] I've done some research, and I'm looking forward to trying it. Whether it constitutes 'quitting' or not, I'm not sure, but it eliminates a lot of the most objectionable parts, and that's good news. No, it's great news, lol - thanks for putting it out there.

YW Cherri. There was a battle going as to which mega money people would control this potential craze. Some wanted it classified as delivery/pharma while other players wanted it classed as nicotine/tobacco. Insurance seemed to have won this fight for the money, and it's indeed classified as a tobacco product. So, we'll pay the same premium for health insurance and they fall under all tobacco legislation. Can't smoke, can't vape.....as it were.
We in this community do not call it smoking. It is vaping, as the product produces a cloud mist of vapor which quickly dissipates, rather than burning paper and leaves, which tend to linger and smell.
Good luck and PM for any further info. After all, I'll need some answers on this trucking business as we go.
