Recommendations for E-Cigarettes? [View all]

I'm asking for everybody's informed opinions.

My son, who has been smoking for 12 years, has decided it's time to quit. He had tried once before, using Chantix, but really didn't like what that stuff made him feel like.

He also noted at the time that it was the smoking "habits" that were the hardest to break and feels that the E-Cig is the way to go. He did try one cheap brand but felt like he got no "draw" from it. (Please forgive if I'm using the wrong terms).

I'd really appreciate anyone's suggestions and info. We have blood clotting disorders in our family, and it's imperative that he beats this.

Thank you all so much.
