The ELectronic Cigarette

I have an ecig. I love my ecig. My ecig goes everywhere that I go.

What is an ecig? Electronic cigarette. It is a way to get my nicotine fix and not kill myself while I'm doing it. I have the DSE 901 which is a rechargeble battery, an atomizer that heats up and a cartridge with a polyfiber filler to hold the e juice. When I vape and exhale I am blowing out a cloud of vapor, not smoke. It is pretty much odorless and dissipates quickly. It doesn't have any of the carcinogens that are in a regular cigarette. You can get the juice in just about any flavor you want and if you can't find what you want you can make your own. I have been vaping since mid April.

When I went to see my regular doctor for my monthly appt to get all my meds in April, my blood pressure was 230/110 and my heart rate was in the 130's. These are not good levels at all. My doctor tried to admit me but since I didn't have insurance the hospital called it an "elective admission" and wouldn't admit me. So much for caring about the community like they advertise.

At that point I was a 2+ pack a day smoker. I've been smoking since I was 12, only quitting while I was pregnant. My best friend, Steph, tried to talk me into the ecig for a week or more before I decided to give it a try. I read a lot about it and talked to my doctor before I decided to give it a go. I ordered one ecig from a place in China. The old saying "slow boat to/from China" is not just a saying. It really is slow,lol I actually got tired of waiting and ordered another from someone else and had it here in 3 days. Just a few vapes and I was hooked. These things are amazing! My husband and older son are both using them now too. We are all three down to smoking about a pack a week and it won't be long until we are totally off of cigarettes.

I buy the unflavored juice, vegetable glycerin and different flavorings and make our own flavored juices. I keep up with the maintenance on them for all of us. It is a little costly to get started. You need to order some spare parts because they do go bad and you don't want to be stuck waiting for them in the mail. I keep 3 of us vaping for around $80 a month now. Before I started vaping I was spending $40 every 5 days for a carton of cigs just for me, that's not including what Terry and Jesse were smoking. We are now in the black by about $150 dollars and are saving money every month now. I have this great big huge tackle box that I keep all our supplies in,lol

There is a warning to this. nicotine is a poison. You need to be careful with it. When you are mixing, don't lick your fingers to get the juice off them. Keep it put up away from children and pets. When you are done, wash your hands. I actually keep a can of the baby wipes next to me and use those to wipe my hands off.

I'm going to give you some links that I use all the time and give you a little info about it.

This is where I buy most of my stuff from. Wayne is great guy and the customer service can't be beat. I buy full kits from them as well as my juice, spare parts, passthrus, all sorts of things from him. I got into a bad batch of batteries, either that or I was just being a noob and messing them up because I didn't know what I was doing. He replaced every one of them for me. He even replaced an atomizer that I didn't buy from him. I thought I was keeping diiferent things from different suppliers seperate but I messed up on that one. You know you are getting great customer service when they replace something that you haven't even bought from them! As for shipping, it is worth it to pay the extra and have it shipped EMS. You will get it much faster than if you pay for the regualr shipping. As long as your orders aren't to big you don't have to worry about customs. I've had some go through customs and some that didn't but I've never not gotten my order.

I order the 1 dram size of flavorings from here. Once I figure out what flavors we like then I order 1 oz bottles from

Because the 1 oz bottles are about half the price as they are at LorAnn's. Warning, when you mix, do it one or two drops at a time, especially with the cherry. Some flavors are very, very strong.

The next couple of links are great places to find information on just about anything pertaining to an ecig
