Hi....my son Olivers godfather, Pat, recently got himself an e-cig and hes been doing pretty well on it since....which was enough to spur me into having a go myself.
i've seen loads of people using these, as you all have.....and from what i've heard, some people either dont get too far and/or end up addicted to the e-cig itself. i've also been dubious about replacing one set of chemicals with another and so on....i've also heard people can develop tight chests, coughs, etc.....so i'm posting all this up not only to show off my leatherwork but also to help anyone in a similar situation as myself....
anyway, with Pat to guide me we hit google and this brand seemed to be pretty darn good, not only on the quitsmoking websites but also on youtube etc....the parent company is U.S. but theres a U.K. branch too.....i looked and saw the prices, went on carp-bay and found a dude called Julius selling them.....for what turned out the best price i could find.
after some usual carp-bay silliness involving their new global shipping programme the very helpful Julius and i managed to get the deal done and today my new e-cig arrived.
ready for this................? i havnt had a fag in 4+hours. thats the longest in years, since i was last attending the local clinic and using nicorette inhalators, chewing gum, patches, the lot.
ok its early days yet and yes i've been enjoying myself and occupied making my new holder instead of prepping for the bushcraft show but trust me i'm very excited. i dont want to be dead before my kids are ten.....and being an old dad its something i think about regularly.
Pat and i also researched the liquids involved and found a company called Jac Vapours to be among the best. i bought strawberry chew and raspberry....the strawberry is very nice so far. these liquids come with two different chemical bases....one can cause slight side effects such as heavy chest in some people however it holds a better taste.....the other type is nicer to use and produces more smoke but doesnt hold flavour so well......i think thats right anyway....and i got the 18mg nicotine strengths.
so.....to the leatherwork....i had noticed that people who use these had to keep them in a pocket and being rather large, thats gotta be a pain....so i had a quick look on carp-bay to see what the carry options were......cases....pretty pointless.....and very cheaply made 'sheaths' that looked flimsy.....etc.....so out came paper and pencil and about 3 hours later baddabing:
i hope tony wont mind me putting the following up in this case considering its about health and potentially saving lives and helping people out....
Julius' carp-bay username is saveline313 and hes a very helpful and friendly dude.....the product i bought is the V2 Pro Series 3 Premium 3in1 Vaporizor in black....he also stocks extra accessories and other kit options.
if youve been sitting on the fence about getting an e-cig, at this point in time i'd recommend giving it a shot. not only have i not had a fag all afternoon but i dont desire one whatsoever.
good luck and i hope this helps, any questions, please ask.....(and yes i can see why people get addicted to these.....but its gotta be better than smoking right? and it works out soooooooooooooooo much cheaper....i just hope that 20 years down the line all us e-cig users dont start dying of some as-unknown new illness.....)
