I've contemplated going from chew to an e-cig. Haven't quite pulled the trigger, but I think it would be a manageable alternative. My problem is I dip all day. I dip pouches so it doesn't get all over the place, and I gut it, so I don't need a spitter. I need to ween myself off of the need ALL day and maybe get down to a few dips, then maybe move on to e-cig. Don't know if I'm mentally ready though.

It's oral fixation thats got you hooked. Try buying a bunch of fresh mint, wadding it up and keeping it in the area you normally put the dip.

Man everything that uses batteries is hopeless. If you don't leave home just get something you can plug in to your usb port or something :)

Might be leaning towards trying a Kanger Pro Tank II out.

or a III reading things.

This is what I'm using now, with a pro tank 3. Works great.

Good to hear, I spent the extra $5 for the Kanger Glass EVOD from massdrop. Total is $42.99 for the Itaste MVP 2.0 with 2x iclear 16 and 1x Kanger Glass EVOD.

Will probably splurge on an Aspire Nautilus Clearomizer at some point.

Damn, its so nice to have gone a whole day with no spit cans, no tobacco in the mouth or on my fingers, no left over taste in the mouth, and no excessive nicotine levels being pumped through my lips from a huge dip into my body. I only take what I need from the e-cig. Best things ever.

Glad it's working for you, assuming the juice is anywhere near OK in the long run I really think these products could save millions of lives. It just seems like we know "enough" about the chemicals used, of course we could always discover something about them 10+ years down the road.

Thanks. I can't wait to step it down to 18mg so I can take BIGGER VAPE HITS! I have an odd desire to take monster vape hits, but the 24mg hurts if hit too hard.

Go down even further to 12mg and you can take bigger hits. But 12 i think is the lowest I will go.

This thread has now cost me!

I tried e-cigs a few years ago to have something when I could not light up.
Before it was over I had quit the smokes because e-cigs were more convenient. I left the e-cig somewhere and never replaced it just started smoking again.

I just ordered a new e-cig!

Ordered a starter kit today. Because of this thread.
I dip and smoke 1 cigar when I golf. Time to quite that.

NICE! What did you get?

Good to hear. I seriously doubt you will regret it. So much cleaner with the e-cig. Congrats. Also, what did you order?

Good luck. I've been on ecigs about a little over a year now without a single real cig. It's turned into a bit of a hobby now. Started with a set-up similar to yours and progressed to mechanicals and rebuildables. Currently using a Stingray and Kayfun.

I started with 18mg juice and have moved down to 3mg pretty fast. 18->12->6->3. Never really noticed much of a difference in the drops. I use Mtbakervapor. Cheap and good quality(as in safe ingredients) with good enough taste. There are certainly better tasting juices if your willing to spend the money. Good Life Vapor has excellent juices, just a lot more expensive. I splurge every now and again.

Yeah this could turn into a bit of a hobby I'm pretty certain.

yup, a guy at work has started dinking around with mods, his latest one you wrap the wick around the 3 coils and drip your juice on it. man, talk about monster vape clouds.

http://www.v2cigs.com/products/10-flavor-sampler

I found a 15% code on a review site for the e-cig and at checkout a popup offered the sampler for $3.00 off.

I sorta know which I am going to like the best. Of all the ones I tested before I liked the "coffee" flavor best.

I think I have a upopened bottle of 36mg (2.5%) in the fridge. I wonder what the shelf life is?

The 36mg vape with a cup of dark roast from the percolator got me going in the morning.

The V2 seems to be a pretty nice brand. Nice choice. Also, 36gm? Didn't know it went that high, but maybe that because its cartridges.
