E cigs, anyone?
I'm wondering about these things and what others think of them. I know it's a matter of personal preference as to which are best, but I'd like to hear from some people who actually use them to get some opinions. I have a Joye 510 starter kit and a Safe Cig starter kit on the way, as well as two 30ml bottles of juice in apple and cappuccino flavor at 24mg nicotine. I know that's high for the nicotine level, but I figured if I ordered it pretty high, I could take three or four hits and be done until I'd normally be ready for my next cigarette. I also ordered VG based refill juice, vegetable based. After some research, it seems PG based juices are notorious for aggravating allergies, and I'm pretty sure I have some allergy problems.
I originally was only going to try the Safe Cig to start out with, but a friend of mine whose tried several said the Joye 510 was the best by far. I had no idea the Safe Cig wasn't designed to be easily refilled manually (though it can be done), so I went ahead and ordered the 510 starter kit as well which should be pretty easily refilled. I am a chain smoker, and I know those small batteries won't have much life, so four electronic cigs with USB chargers and the USB car charger adapter I bought should keep me going without any battery issues. Judging by what I've read, the 510 produces a nice amount of vapor, maybe more than The Safe Cig, so that will be good. I want an experience as close to smoking as I can get. I know no electronic cigarette is going to be the same as puffing on a real cancer stick, but it needs to be as similar as possible. Regardless, I will stick to puffing on these instead of my analogue smokes, but I still want a good experience so that it won't be as difficult to let go of these toxic smokes I've adored for so long. From what I have read, the more vapor and the higher the nicotine content, the more realistic the experience is, so we shall see. Either way, I should be well supplied for a couple of months. With two 30ml bottles of juice, three packs replacement cartridges for The Safe Cig (5 cartos per pack), and the five cartridges that come with the 510, yeah, I should be just fine. I am so ready to quit real cigarettes. I took Theophylline tonight so that I could breathe again. This is insane, but at least the med worked. Tomorrow, I will make an appointment with a lung specialist who will put the light into my lungs upon request--a specialist my brother in law sees. He told me whatever the issue is, that guy will most definitely find it, but that I'd better be a non smoker when I see him or he will chew my head off! No prob! My crap should be here in 3-5 days, and after that, no more cigarettes for good!
So have any of you tried these e cigs? What's your opinion of them? Which do you think are best, and why?

I have one... bought it about a year ago, but I don't use it very often. Not sure whether I'm doing something wrong, but no matter how I try to load the juice into the thing, I always end up getting some of it on my lips, and the nicotine numbs them. Plus, for me anyway, the novelty kind of wore off pretty soon. Also, the whole thing about "being able to smoke in no smoking areas" is mostly bunk. Those places will just ban e-cigarettes as well (it's happened to me).
@TheSchizoidMan - I figured people would kinda freak out even if someone tried smoking one of those in a non smoking area, so I decided I wouldn't even attempt it. Even if they allowed it, I'd hate to have people staring at me as if I was insane lol.
I've read a lot about some of the devices being bad to leak the liquid into the mouth and stuff, so I tried to order a couple different kinds with great reviews. The Safe Cig has some sort of thing within it that prevents the leakage, and the Joye 510 is supposedly a favorite of quite a few people who use the e cigs. More than anything else, even if they're not that great, I just want to breathe again and not feel as though I might be dying of some awful disease. I love smoking. God knows I'd smoke for the rest of my life if I knew I could get away with it, or even thought I could, but I don't think I can get away with it anymore. I have never felt so bad in my life as I do right now, and it's all this difficulty breathing. Something is happening that's preventing me from smoking as usual.
I have known people, however, who have smoked most of their lives, are old, and seemingly just fine. It's luck of the draw, I suppose. Some burn them up and live to a ripe old age while others' lives are cut way short because of them. It's like playing Russian Roulette. I will be ecstatic and so thankful if after all my testing, I find out whatever is going on with me is nothing serious. Smothering is such a terrible feeling, and it's about to drive me insane. If I hadn't been scared into this, heaven knows I'd smoke like a chimney for god knows how much longer.
I really do love them ugh, but I'm going to make myself puff on some vapor stix lol. But yeah, I surely won't be puffing on one in class! Haha! I might actually try it once, though, just to see how people react. :)
