How did you come across ecigs for the first time

GT
Does your .comghter vape? and you too?

 

Yes, but both just starting out. I've been trying stuff out for about a week or so, my .comghter only a day or so. If this is successful (and all indications are that it will be), I have another .comghter who needs to quit as well. I'm basically the guinea pig ...

I smoked for 40 years started vaping and was able to give up 30-40 cigarettes a day. That was 3 months ago. You will be able to do it easy and think of all the money your girls and you will save!!!!!

 

Hi margy, to avoid clogging this thread, I've continued here

 

I tried my first ecig a few years ago, i think it was called a "cigarti".. attempted to use it a few days and eventually hated it, never used one ever since.
Today I just ordered my second ecig (a lavatube) and will attempt to do it again.. hoping that this time around it will sit nicely on me.. fingers crossed.

 

I was just doing a random postie mugging and came across these funny looking durries that were absolute BASTARDS to light.....

 

wanted to give up smoking but wanted something to replace it. 4 Weeks analogue free thanks GOOGLE haha.

 

Seems like a obvious omission in your poll: "A friend/associate introduced me to them."

I guess it counts as other/wordofmouth if you are just looking at marketing penetration.

 

I started this poll purely for curiosity just after the whirlpool forum closed its ecig section for the final time. I was curious to track how much the forum closing would affect the take up rate, at the time WP was over 30% and by far the most popular reason, now it seems to be word of mouth as would be expected by more and more people taking it up and it becoming more known. My guess is that WP has not had any votes for some time.

Almost anyone who asks about mine now has heard of them, totally different to a year ago.

A friend / associate would be word of mouth. Not sure who else would be telling you about it ,, could have different categories for family, workmates, old school friends I guess .. but what if they are both a friend and a workmate, people would not know which one to select.

 

I decided I would take singing lesson but smoking affected my voice!
I wanted to quit but looked for an alternative until I could beat the habit!
I had heard of ecigs somewhere? not sure now, any way I started to look around on the web, and found Elusion eCigs!
Looking at some of the postings and the prices etc I see there is a whole different world of vaping!

 

I was looking for a motor home about 2 weeks ago, here -

http://www.caravans-onsite.com/caravan/index.php?action=searchresults&pclass[]=11

and an ad kept sliding past. Clicked it and watched Katherine Heigl vaping live on the Dave Letterman show. I was fascinated but couldn't find any info on that company - Caldoz.com - so spent the rest of the day and night Googling, reading everything I could find and watching YouTube. Ordered 2 starter kits locally the next day. Husband wants to go on a trip but the van is on the back burner now .comse I've got juice orders coming in and when they get here I want to play with them

 

I heard about them years ago and meant to try them but they weren't very popular or easy to get and were more expensive than they are now (or maybe I had less money). Anyway a friend of mine got into them about six months ago and she is ecigs only now, from a 2 pack a day habit. But yeah after trying hers I got interested. Better than cigs in many ways was my first impression. And now here I am working on transitioning from tobacco completely

 

Katherine Heigl was using a SMOKESTIK, that was the first one i got, be.comse of her.

 

My .comghter got worried about my getting Sinus infections repeatedly that were making me very sick and after watching me sign my self out of the A&E at the Hosp so I could have a smoke,knew I had to give up, Trouble was I liked smoking But she had seen a lady using an Ecig at her work.
She got me one for Christmas and asked if I would use it, she told me to close my eyes and imagine it was my analog one
and I to her amazement I am still using it and trying to get her partner to , I Have now been using mine for 110 days, and no sinus problems!.

 

a guy i'm subbed to on youtube always smoked during his videos, then one day, his cigarette had a blue light on the end of it.

a few months later i decided to start looking into ecigs...now i think my nic intake has actually increased.

 

Know what you mean there Smash, I never thought i would have moved from 16 mg to 24 and the thing is never out of my hand ... wonder what it is?
I haven't heard anyone else saying it!

 

It's be.comse you don't feel sick using it all day, like you would if you chain smoked.

 

Yeah your right CCC they would have me on a ventilator by now if this was tobacco
a lot of people used to complain and say I chain smoked anyway
thats why they haven't thought it strange that my e cig is in my hand all the time
anyway after looking at the poll for how many mls do you vape a day ...not worried now! LOL

 

Not in the options but a Facebook add got me in to vaping.

 

Ditto! Mine was a Facebook link to a company called "Cigarti".. they are good looking ecigs but shit quality by any standard... still it's what got me started.
