I figured I’d pop this here in harm reduction because smoking tobacco products, and using oral tobacco chew, well, that shit can kill you.

I quit smoking December 10, 2012 using e-cigarettes. I used one of those more expensive types, sort of like Blu-Cig, where it looks like a cigarette and you use the little screw-in cartridges to refill it. That is NOT economical.

If you want to really save a buttload of money you’ll want to get an e-pen vaporizer. It’ll look more like a large ballpoint pen. The batteries last longer and you can just buy e-juice from any vendor in any flavor (or magical e-juice) and vape away. The cartridge refills usually only came 5 in a pack and it’d cost me around $14.99!!! I went and bought 15ml of "Frost" flavored super duper ultra minty (brrrr!) e-juice from the headshop down the street and it only set me back $10.99, and this stuff is going to LAST ME FOREVER compared to the cartridges.

If you want to get into vaping, the technology is so common now you don’t have to spend much to get a decent e-pen vaporizer. I have an eGo-T vape pen and it works just fine. I bought it in the headshop so it set me back $25, but you can find them cheaper online.

I will never go back to regular tobacco cigarettes. I lift weights and run too much to risk my health these days. Also, it’s just way cheaper to vape e-juice in the long-run, probably much healthier (still no absolute proof yet on that), and it doesn’t leave a nasty scent, won’t burn down the house, doesn’t leave nasty ashes or non-recyclable cigarette butts, you can smoke indoors so no more bearing shitty nasty weather to get your fix, and the smoke is nice and cool and perfect for blowing smoke rings and other smoke tricks.

Definitely get into vaping! Mucho fun and flavors out the ass.
