"Quitting" Smoking

[blackflame2180]

Looking for feedback from other smoker friends on this one:

So over the weekend, I went up to Philly and a bunch of my smoker or former smoker friends had these electronic cigarette things. I remember when electronic cigarettes first came out like 5 years ago-- they looked clunky, dorky, and ridiculous. But these didn't look so ridiculous; they

I would be very interested to see how it goes for you and hear your impressions.. two of my loved ones smoke like chimneys... it would be great to hear how viable the switch-out is...

This is the site I've been looking at:

They have a starter kit + 25 cartridges for $60. Plus a 30 day money back guarantee and a one year warranty (which includes the battery). The "cigarettes" come in a "pack" that charges in your pocket. (Also, there's a cool little instructional video on the website)

I cam across the Blu, but from the reviews I've been reading (that forum post I linked to is REALLY helpful) a lot of people have problems with the Blu as hardware.

I'll try to dig up more reviews on it. From a first look, a concern might be that they only sell branded cartridges, which might be an indicator that they don't work with non-brand cartridges. I'd strongly recommend you read through my first link, though I don't recall it talking about the Blu.

But hooray, maybe I won't be the only one at parties using these things!

Ok, so here I found a pretty good review of the Blu (even offers comparison to the 510). Review here:

I'm ordering my 510 Friday; everything is priority mail, so by Tuesday I'll have everything.

Best of luck sir. I am not a smoker and can only offer encouragement.

This tech is kind of excellent. It's great that you've done your homework, and this seems like a solid decision; good luck to you!
