Hello Mike,

I have an e-cig which I got over two years ago. It didn't really take with me either.

In my case, perhaps the biggest thing I didn't like about the e-cig was that I didn't have a pack of cigarettes, nor a cigarette brand that I had any affinity for with the e-cig. Perhaps this is another angle on the part of all this with myself that many people don't much relate to and often consider rather odd. Basically it all revolves around the fact that the cigarette ads have always meant so much to me and are the primary reason why I started to smoke and continue to smoke. So the pack of cigarettes itself and brand affinity are very important to me.

Although there are some unknowns in regards to the health issues with e-cigs I tend to believe that water vapor is probably less dangerous than smoke. If nothing else, we know cigarette smoking has serious risks associated with it, whereas we don't know of any similarly serious risks associated with e-cig vaping.

Oddly enough, in my case, I found the e-cig irritated my respiratory system nearly as much as cigarettes,... so, that didn't turn out to be any motivation for me to continue with the e-cig.

Take care,
