Yeah, I went to Central Iowa E-Cig and that was what the people who worked there were using. About the only thing I've tried where the hit you get can make you choke on it if you're not prepared.

I would think that's why these vape pens would be ideal. You can control the level of nicotine in your juice. I just wonder if the nicotine hits at the same rate when vaping?
The other thing that you can do with vaping is adjust the nicotine level down to wean yourself off it. Similar to a patch or nicotine gum, but much more effective IMO as it emulates the physical process that is part of what makes it hard to quit.
Of course, big pharmaceutical companies aren't liking a cut into their protected market (nor are governments liking the loss of taxes). It's unfortunate that those two factors are more important to the powers that be than actually getting people to quit.
It seems to make a difference. What I commonly get has 1.5%, 2% and 2.5%. I've found that 1.5% isn't enough, 2% is about right, and 2.5% can be just a little too strong (with 2.5% I can go much longer without a cigarette, but if I'm absentmindedly using it while playing a game or something, I can get jittery).
That's some good info guys, thanks. Sounds like the move is to just go into a store and have them set me up. I've looked online but the sheer amount of **** they have on there is a little overwhelming.
I've tried different E-cigerettes but never quit smoking and usually ran it through the washing machine. I was wondering what brands are recommended too. The E-cigs are just not the same. But if there is a better alternative, I'd be intrigued.
So I took the plunge yesterday and went to Azara Hookah. I was set up with a Vapros Spinner 2 which I like so far because you can control the voltage, 2 cartimizers, 5 coils, and 2 bottles of liquid (marlboro and strawberry kiwi) at 16 and 18 mg nicotine. It only cost me $42. I think once I get used to it, I will expand, but $42 is nothing considering I'd spend that on packs of smokes in a week.
I was smoking a little under a pack a day and have for 18 years. It's early, but I've went a day without smoking now.
BTW, for those asking, MUCH better than the cheap e cigarettes they sell at gas stations.

Just an update, I made another trip to the hookah store, this time spent $89. However I should be set now for a couple of months. Now that I know what I like and know I will follow through without smoking the money is not hard to justify. Over 2 weeks without a cigarette, thanks to others in this thread for their input and advise.
D'ouche flutes. That's what they look like when huffing them in public. But congrats to those not smoking or chewing, but just quit entirely.
They may look goofy, but they are more effective at ridding people of an unhealthy habit (which is far more important than your opinion).
I stuck with the same nicotine level for now, but I did strawberry kiwi again, a fruit loop flavored one, and did a mix of caramel and marlboro which I haven't tried yet, but the marlboro already tasted a little like caramel, so it should be good.
