Innocent Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) A friend of mine is trying to quit smoking. His birthday is coming up soon. I was thinking of gifting him an electronic cigarette. Do any of you have any comments or suggestions? I understand there are basically two models, the two piece unit consisting of battery+cartomizer and the thre piece unit consisting of battery+atomizer+cartridge for e-liquid. I am not sure about which one would be the better choice. Any ideas? Thanks. Edited August 19, 2012 by Innocent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tab'le De'Bah-Rye Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 You could look into V Cigs, a friend of mine is on those and hasn't had a cigerrette since, and V CIGS have a variety of flavours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKolbe Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I've tried these before... A co-worker bought one and let me try it. Drags pretty real. He's a menthol smoker, so that taste was definitely there. it didn't work for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Why would that be a problem? Anyway, he doesn't use a bathtub. That's not a very common way of taking a bath here.

Era Might Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I saw someone smoking an e-cigarette on the bus once. I had to do a double take. Was a little bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) This E-Cigarette business is interesting, but did Tab just make a grammatically flawless post?! I'm not making fun of you, Tab, I'm just shocked and proud at the same time. There was a typo, but that was on "cigarettes", and it is tradition for me to re-do the way I spell that word forty times.

[/quote] The main problem with e-cigarettes is the inconvenience of the small rechargeable batteries that seem to run out of life way to quickly. I'm waiting for the e-hookah myself.

Ed Normile Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Get a small 5 lb. sledge hammer and crush the thumb and forefinger on both your friends hands. Explain that you love your friend enough to not want to see him suffer lung cancer. By the time they heal your friend may be over the addiction, if not just the thought having to go through the smashing again should keep him smoke free. Glad to be of help! ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
