Now we all just KNOW that the world's going to end! (Flagg quit smoking)

Well, it really wasn't my intention, but my fraking tobacco seeds just didn't want to sprout. So after a lot of investigation about the subject, I ordered one of those ecigarettes. The DSE-901.

Well, last Saturday evening was my last actual smoke. Been very pleased with the ecig I have. It's a kinda sad feeling -a friend I've known for almost 30 years is going away. Obama will NOT be getting more tax dollars from my bulk tobacco purchases when I rolled my own cigarettes.

However...

The FDA is coming after ecigs now.

[RandallFlagg]

LOL!
No, no, no. I just couldn’t get my seeds to grow. I really WASN’T planning on quitting. I just got the ecigs to get me by when my 10 pounds of pre-SCHIP tobacco ran out.

WOW! You are certainly on a roll tonight, Viking. Go for it future POTUS, you have my vote (bet you won’t need TOTUS). LOL! ;-)

[RandallFlagg]

Why do you HATE children?

LOL!! I have enough on my plate paying for my own Sons all by myself. Don't really want to pay for others more than I'm already forced to.

[Drango]

Well we disagree on the smoking issue, but agree on many others. I wish you well however it turns out for you.

[cripplecreek]

The Walking Dude quitting smoking isn’t high on my list of priorities. I’m far more concerned with the collection of various psychopaths and criminals you’re gathering in Vegas.

[Gabz]

Congrats........

Can’t really ping anyone else ‘cause I lost all my ping lists in a hard drive crash :(

None of my tobacco seeds came up either.

[RandallFlagg]

Try the ecig. I’m series. I was truly suprised at how much like a real cigarette it is. They’re cheaper, too.

DON’T go get them at the local smoke shop, though! They’re rip-offs.

Here’s all of the information you’ll ever want about ecigs.

No I didn’t, but I have a soft spot for some shows - superlative Life of Reilly, the LeCarre Trilogy, and of course the Sherlock Holmes’ series.

They’ll end up banning the thing in public because too many people will freak out......

Just holding an unlit cig in a bar prompts some nervous stares.

[MHGinTN]

Do you think television will ever revert to such sensible programming, or will it just continue to degenerate?

[lctxken]

Yep!!! Congrats. That’s what I plan to do when my 8lbs of pre-SCHIP tobacco runs out (I figure around July).

Got me a Pee Wee and a bunch of e-juice from PureSmoker.

Trouble is the dealers are having trouble with getting their stuff through Customs.

Hardest thing is - I still enjoy smoking. And I’m not looking forward to it. But I’m dang sure that I don’t want to give my money to the gumerment.

[swarthyguy]

Well, seeing that my diet is Nova, Frontline, documentaries and the Westerns Channel and TCM And Retro, with some forays into CSPAN, NatGeo and Sci, Disc, I don’t know.

I proudly like to say I’m culturally disconnected since it’s gotten to the point now where when the late night “comedians” come on, I have no idea who they’re talking about half the time. So no reason to watch.

But somehow the newer British productions haven’t captured my attention. A couple of Masterpiece Theater exceptions, but that’s it.....

So, lol, the short answer is no.

I went from Red Winstons to Winston Lights, then Winston Ultra Lights...
The Ultra Lights had so many perforations in the paper it was mostly like pulling air...

[RandallFlagg]

Yeah. The FDA siezed a bunch of shipments, but lost in court over it. They’re still complaining about ecigs and their not been yet tested. However, New Zealand ran a test and found them harmless.

[lctxken]

Good. I hadn’t heard that. Maybe now PureSmoker will get some stock in.

[lctxken]

Ping!!!

[RandallFlagg]

This is what my DSE-901 looks like:

Notice the blue tip?
I paid a total of about $100 for the initial kit, 2 extra batteries and atomizers, and for a bottle of the strong nicotine juice.
One cartridge lasts about 2-4 cigarettes (Don't believe anyone ever telling you that they last a few packs. That's never been true), and you simply refill it with 3-5 drops of the efluid. These usually come in little 30ml bottles at around $30.
The beauty of it is this: You can then cut back on the nicotine amount with propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin slowly until you're at zero. THEN... You can try some of the other flavors.
Vanilla
Cherry
COFFEE!!!

I'm looking forward to the next shipment to arrive. Going to experiment a little bit.

If you (Or anyone else) wants to know more about this, please check out the link at #27 of this thread, or ask me anytime.

[RandallFlagg]

Oh, if they ban these, people will stock up before the ban takes place, or start making them in their garages.

Or worse...
They’ll go back to cigarettes.
The ecig community is fighting like hell against this.

[edcoil]

Which ecig did you get?
