just a poll. :

I have been on ecigs for 10 months so glad to be free from smoke.

Yay for you Jestif!  I started using e-cigs in June of 2008 and had maybe 3 cigarettes in the first month or so.  I have no desire for a real cigarette.  They are disgusting.  It took a little while for me to find my favorite supplier (Jane at ecsiinc.com).  She's great.  FYI: if you use her liquids, you don't have to worry about clogging your atomizer.  I never have to clean mine (unless I play around with DIY).  Also, she does a lot of research and won't sell crappy stuff.

hi....
I got my first e-cig at the beginning of June, but went fulltime at the beginning of August,and baring a few hardware disasters, have been tobacco free ever since.

I have been vaping since Sept 2009 and no cigarettes at all since Oct. 2009!! I am so happy I found these things 

sounds like you all are doing well with the ecig.

About 6 weeks for me (quite the gap between 1 week and 3 months in the poll
I quit analogs right away, even though I had to order a whole new set-up and send back my first which was a stressful experience. I won't mention the brand of the crappy one, but it did make me feel quite blue.

Always try to order back-ups. I test every unit, but I still get occasional losers. If you order spare parts, you will always have something working while you wait for "replacements". One lone atomizer is a ticket back to reg. cigarettes. It's generally not the vendors fault, it's the manufacturer. Also, try to buy parts in 3 packs, once you find a unit you like. You don't need to buy more units.You'll save, and always have spares. Also be careful of your liquid. Everyone seems to be making and selling"home-made liquid", with 3 components. Very profitable for everyone but the end user. Flavoring, without some type of cleaner is a major problem for atomizers. I personally won't sell certain flavors because they are too damaging.Also too much flavoring is a big killer of atomizers. There are herbal flavor extenders that in the correct balance, give more flavor, and less "gum". It's buyer beware, as with all new products.
