Showing Original Post only (View all)Just tried my first e-cigarette [View all]
And I think I may be a convert. The cig lasted less than a day (crappy cheap disposable) but it gave me a nice solid smoke flavour and a nice throat hit similar to Marlboro Reds (my preferred pre-rolled). I've now ordered myself a proper starter kit and bottles of dark tobacco flavour and cherry flavour. My SO is happy because, while not harmless, e-cigs are considerably less damaging to my health.
So I'd just like to thank all the people on DU who encouraged me to give it a try, you were so right.

True, but when the aliens from the movie Signs land, e-cig users are going to kick ass.

Ingesting nicotine is NOT always harmful to the body. Google 'beneficial effects of nicotine'
