I switched from smoking analogue cigarettes to vaping about half a year ago. I went to pack a month to 0 pretty quickly without much problems or suffering. I also lowered the nicotine level in my e-liquids during this time by more than half
It's pretty geeky stuff, there are different mods (the case you put batteries in), batteries (reviews tests online - Sony Japanese stuff is best), tanks (the thing where you put e-liquid and it then vapourizes it when you press the button), coilheads, you can also DIY coils and wick them with japanese organic cotton which is where I'm now. There is Watt/volt regulaton, temperature control with Titanium or Stainless steel, some of the dudes at our local vape shop are real geeks...
Compared to smoking there are only advantages:
- it's less harmful (UK health thinks up to 95%) than cigarettes, though long term results are still not here
- you feel better, no monoxide, no tar, no fatigue, no cough
- no burning, no thousands of harmful chemicals found in smoke - the e-liquid consists of glycerine, propilene glycol, nicotine and flavourings
- costs less, especially if you mix your own e-liquid and wrap your own coils. Even with buying premade e-liquid and coils it's still 25-30% cheaper than smokes
- no bad breath, no smelly apartment, car, clothes
- the flavouring is much much better than cigarettes which to me now stink
The USA made premium e-liquids are the best, not surprising since USA food flavouring industry is the strongest in the World. It's been a while since I was buying anything made in USA.
The only downside is you need to charge batteries and have enough of them (3-4 2500-3000mAh), mods and chargers to get you through your activities and your vaping style and that vape shops are few and far apart. So generally I go once a week, stock up, drink coffee with the guys.
So if you're still smoking you can buy a good startup kit for about 65€ which here is about the price of two cartoons of cigarettes and you will break even in a month. Don't buy the cheapest device since experience won't be good and you won't make the switch. Also try a few different tanks and e-liquids to find something that suits you.
