Here's my problem. I love tobacco. The smell, the feel, the taste, and the atmosphere. I smoke cigars, and recently I've tried some Lucky Strikes and Turkish Golds and I'm really starting to get into cigarettes. Only problem.. I really dont feel like dying of lung cancer. Now, I know cigars arent exactly good for you, but you don't inhale them, and I feel a bit safer, plus I'm not addicted. The last thing I need is a cigarette addiction.

So, I went to Totally Wicked (not sure if I'm allowed to say that on this board), and purchased their starter kit and it was nice.. A few problems though.
1. Charge. The feeling when you're really wanting to smoke it, and it dies and it has to charge for 4 hours REALLY sucks

2. The big one. Although it has the taste and throat-hit of a cigarette.. It's missing something. It's cold. A cigarette or cigar has an earthy feel to it and you can actually feel the smoke fill your mouth and feel the warmth of the smoke. An ecig is just like inhaling water vapor from a boiling pot.

3. I would never smoke these in public, i feel stupid.

is there any solution to these? number 3 is a personal problem, but 1 and 2? I'd LOVE E-cigs if I could solve these problems.

As for the charge is concerned...change the batteries or Try another e-cig from another manufacturer with a better battery life and shorter charging time..and no not even a billion dollar cig will buy you the joy of holding a real cig in your hand....the feel and texture is on a completely different level....

A boiling pot was a good description.

I feel the same.

I smoke a pack of Luckys a day and tried the ecig it's just not the same. I know it works for some people and that's great , but studies are coming out that the ecigs might not be healthy either.

Bought a pack of camel snus and so far it's the only thing that has worked. No carcinogens , no spit , and a proven cancer decline as they have been in Sweden forever and Sweden has the lowest cancer rate in the world.

I now smoke 4-5 Luckys a day compared to 20.

its depend on the choice some likes n some don't.

I can't stand any e-cig. Just left rehab in AZ and the kids there had pretty much all the top brands , I just can't see how people like them. God knows the health risks (if any) .

Not jumping on this fad!!!

Hello All,

Personally, I really like my e-cig. I was a 40+ year Marlboro Reds man and I switched to a Green Smoke with Absolute Tobacco and the highest Nicotine and it wasn't bad.

I'm now smoking a refill I did with Torque 56 (formerly Harley 56) e-liquid and I'm getting good vapor as well as a nice taste and the warm feeling you mentioned you weren't getting.

I was so in favor of my electronic cigarette that I started my own e-cig website.

I've been an ecig user for 2.5 years and haven't looked back.
