Just curious if any of you cigar smokers have gotten into electronic cigarettes, or "vaping" as it has come to be known.
After (unfortunately) getting back into cigarette smoking last year, I tried out nicotine gum for times when I couldn't smoke (like the long flight to Japan) and didn't have much success. So I bought a cheap Ego-C e-cigarette and was off cigarettes in 2 weeks. The nicotine levels go from 0-24 and I started at 24, but have dropped down to 6 in the last year. Even when I get off nicotine completely, I plan to keep my vapor cigarette because 1) the flavors are great and 2) I can enjoy it almost everywhere, including while sitting inside with my wife--something not possible with cigars.
I can already anticipate the negative responses from the old schoolers, but I enjoy both my cigars and e-cig. Vaping is a wholly different experience from smoking a cigar. I would compare it to the differences in enjoying different types of alcoholic drinks. A Blue Moon beer does not hold a candle to a glass of well-aged single malt Scotch, but each can be enjoyed without excluding the other.
Here's a picture of my vaping set up. The box is the power source (adjustable) and the different tanks each contain different flavors that can be swapped out. I spend about $30 a month on supplies, while a pack a day in Texas would cost me well over $200.
