Electronic Cigarettes V2 Part 4
Hello and welcome to my blog.
I had a counter in a previous post that stopped working. This is an attempt at another one. See if it lasts. Mostly for fun and one of those blog toys since I am keeping my own records. I also got a small program called STOPBUDDY. Google the name and download it from CNET. The other site download links did not work. The STOPBUDDY has a counter along with other doodads concerning how to stop smoking. A lot of fun and a good motivator. I like to look at the health monitor window. I know that I have only replaced my nicotine delivery system with an electronic cigarette but the improvements in my over all well being in the last two weeks have been fabulous. I feel cleaner and healthier.
Information from STOPBUDDY
DATA:
You have not smoked for :16 days and 11 hours.
You stopped smoking on 8/10/2011 at 9:42:00 PM
You have NOT smoked 329 cigarettes.
You have extended your life by 3619 minutes.
You saved 153.89 dollar
This graphic is from STOPBUDDY as of today. I think the first day had all my readings down in the red zone. A smoker for 40 years, what else could be expected. I have no idea how accurate this is but it is a boost to look at. My own personal monitoring says it is pretty good because as I said before I am feeling healthier and cleaner since I switched to electronic cigarettes.
From left to right the monitor categories are:
Blood pressure, Oxygen blood level, Carbon monoxide levels,
Taste and smell senses, Energy levels, Blood circulation, Lung capacity.

Electronic Cigarettes V2 Part 3
Hello and welcome to my blog.
I paid all my e-cig bills this morning. The entry cost was $400.00. The initial V2 expense was $173.00 for the Ultimate Kit, I then bought 8o more cartridges and a charger kit for $165.00. I also found a local outlet that sells filler juice and paid $45.00 for 5 bottles. Once I add in a few do-dads the price so far has been $400.00. Without buying cigarettes anymore my break even time frame is the end of September.
What really opens my eyes though is the number of cigarettes not smoked. I always said I smoked about a pack a day but never thought in the longer term. I think this is a mental block used by smokers. One month equals about 600 cigarettes. Man that is a lot. I do not even want to calculate the amount in a year.
When I mentioned earlier that I got some e-juice the reference is for liquids that you can get to refill the cartridges used in the system. V2 does not have this and I was fortunate enough to find a local guy. No shipping charges and lots and lots of flavors. This will reduce my cost since I will refill the used cartridges I have. A small bother but not a problem. The upside is the flavors available. I got two tobacco flavors, hey I used to smoke, as well as three non tobacco flavors. Cream, coconut and Doctor Pepper are the flavors I got and they are amazing.
In terms of health improvements it is too early to tell but I am planning to get into a light style exercise routine. Try and clean out the years and years of accumulated gunk.
For mental health the last couple of days have been fantastic. The chains of being a cigarette smoker are disolving. I will admit to having a couple of smokes a day but compared to my previous consumption this is minor.
Thank you for your time.

Electronic Cigarettes V2 Part 2
Hello and welcome to my blog.
Just a quick note. In my previous post I placed a counter to show how long it has been since I quit smoking, it also shows my cost savings. In fairness I have to state my costs for the electronic cigarettes. The cost so far has been $350.00. Ouch I think to myself. However when I look at my personal budget the monthly cigarette cost is around $300.00. The easy math says I break even in a little over 5 weeks. It is then a matter of ongoing costs. My guess is that the cartridges that I am buying will be about $80.00 a month. 300 less 80 means a guesstimate of about $200.00 a month in savings. Will wait and see what the long term savings are.
Thank you V2 for your product.

Elecronic Cigarettes V2
Hello and welcome to my blog.
In the last couple of weeks I ordered and received an electronic cigarettes product from V2. After decades of smoking I needed to quit. My girlfriend hates cigarettes, the cost was getting too much and I knew my health was paying the price for smoking.
Even though it has only been a week since I starting using V2 I know that I will be able to quit smoking cigarettes. Sure I will probably have a couple now and then, but nothing like the pack a day habit I had. I will readily admit I am addicted to nicotine and the V2 is a nicotine delivery system, the biggest difference is that I am not getting all the tar and other ugly things that go with a regular cigarette. It has only been a couple of days since I have smoked but already I am noticing the positive changes.
At first the initial cost buy-in seemed a little steep but when I look at the long run cost analysis I am coming out ahead by a few miles. The little counter below will keep track for me.
I really think that electronic cigarettes are the next big thing and I am extremely happy with the V2 brand that I am using. Their website is here: http://www.v2cigs.com/
I encourage every cigarette smoker to check this out and do their own research. Personally I have only thanks and praise for V2. In future posts I will outline my experiences with my new found cigarette free life.
Thank you V2.
