(213 posts)My husband is completely off cigarettes now thanks to e-cigs. And I am down to five a day from a two-pack a day habit.
We first bought the Blu starter kits but they did not work for us. The nicotine level was too low for one thing. The battery life was terrible so you couldn't keep it going longer than three hours without a charge. He went and bought himself an Ego C-Twist and some 24 mg e-juice and that was satisfying for him and got him off the stinkies. I stubbornly stayed with my Blu because I did not want to waste the money we had spent on the starter kits and continued to smoke for another month.
I finally broke down and got myself a better e-cig but then spent a month coughing every time I used it before discovering that I am allergic to the PG in the e-juice. By then my husband had been off cigarettes for two months. I found a company that makes all VG juice and that took care of my coughing problem. By the way, the reason I did not realize I was allergic to PG with the Blu is that their cartridges are VG.
I suggest you get an e-cig with a good battery. The better the battery the longer your charge will last plus the more vapor it will produce. Then get a very high nicotine smoke juice and use it the first few months. You can step down the nicotine level after you are completely off cigarettes. Also, try some flavors other than tobacco. My husband still prefers tobacco flavors but I love coffee and fruit flavors.
