If you have tried them, feel free to elaborate on what do you like about them or what don't you like about them? If you use one, what is your favorite type? (super-mini, mini, other..etc..)

I am in the "Yes, I would like to try them" category. I like the idea but the cost has held me back. That and I have not met anyone that has used them, so this will be good for hearing from others.

I've been on my ecig since October of last year and I love it! I have a Joye Ego. It cost about $60 for startup but the monthly cost is only about $15 for juice because I buy in bulk. I buy the carts once every six months or so. After startup it's way cheaper than smoking.

Plus I can vape anywhere I want to. I get sick less often. The flavor of the juice is way better than a cigarette. I love my ecig. You couldn't convince me to go back to a regular cigarette. I forgot mine one day and took a drag of a regular cigarette and almost threw up. Ugh.

I read the article on edencafe about these and that is actually the first I had heard of them. It sounds interesting. I love smoking. I really do. I swear it is the habit I am more addicted to than the nicotine.

I don't even smoke and I want one of these. If they make a nicotine-free bottle of smoke I'll be a customer in five minutes flat. I love the act of smoking and the scent and the look, (perfect conversation starter, and encourages you to spend a couple fifteen-minute thought breaks outdoors each day) and I took it up for a couple of months in college, but quit quickly because I didn't want to suffer the negative health effects.

So if I could smoke an e-cigarette without an addictive agent?

That would be perfect.

I tried it, but it didn't taste right to me. Kinda chemical? It's OK once in a while if you absolutely can't have the real thing. Since I smoke menthol, I got that flavor. Doesn't compare to the smokes I roll myself.

YES! They do make nicotine-free ecigs

I have tried them... but I prefer regular cigarettes... the vapor just isnt as thick as the smoke.. and it doesn't feel/taste right.

Not to be an enabler or anything, but if you don't buy pre-filled carts you can get nicotine free juice!! My mom keeps asking when I'm gonna switch over to that kind.

I actually smoke and vape. I'm still around a half a day pack smoker, but I vape a lot.

I use a Volcano battery and Boge LR cartos with ELiquid Planet Essence or Juice Blaster juice. The start-up costs were high, but it totally paid for itself within a month. Someday I hope that I'll be able to make the switch to vaping completely.

I think the key is being ready for the change and then going with a high nicotine juice. I still vape 24mg juice regularly; some days I'll vape a 16mg though, it just depends.

I've thought about it but the chemical makes me nervous since most companies aren't real forthcoming about what all is in them. I actually know someone who broke out in allergic hives after he tried an e-cig. Then again, I'm 10x more paranoid about commercial cigarettes since I know exactly what's in them .
Currently I make my own cigs (stuffing the tubes, not rolling) and I'm happy with that. The tobacco I get is grown naturally with no added anything, just a spritz of mint for the menthol taste.
