Answer:
It is actually satisfying. It does take a little bit to get used to because you are going to feel odd that there isn’t any smoke, you don’t have to light it, and you don’t need an ashtray. But you can still blow smoke rings. 
The electronic cigarette is like a regular cigarette… one size does not fit all. There are several different styles that are available. You can also choose your strength of nicotine and your flavor. If you are looking to “step down” you can go to zero nicotine. If you are only looking for a change or the ability to smoke where bans are upheld, then this is an excellent option.
There is a company called Johnson’s Creek and they produce FDA approved nicotine e-liquid. With this, you will take your nicotine cartridge and refill it with 3-5 drops of the e-liquid. It comes in all flavors. They currently offer empty cartridges for both the pen style and the mini. The mini looks most like a cigarette (link to a photo of it taken apart) http://www.e-cig.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/ecigapart2.thumbnail.jpg
There is a lot of information out there. The e-cigarette-forum mentioned above is having issues today (I think there have been a lot of visitors lately). We do write quite a bit so feel free to visit our blog and have a view http://www.e-cig.org. And of course, if you have any more questions… just ask! Most e-smokers are pretty happy and are happy to help you.
Everytime I read an article about the electronic cig its bad because of the nicotine. I was wondering about the flavored non nicotine cartridges, noone talks about them. Thanks!
Answer:
Nicotine isn’t necessarily bad for us if used responsibly. It is no worse than caffeine when used in moderation. Unfortunately, the delivery system (the tobacco cigarette) is what is bad for us.
There have been tests done on the eliquids and all testing thus far has shown that the liquid is safe. All of the ingredients found within are all deemed safe by the organizations world wide. If you are allergic to propylene glycol, the liquid might be a concern for you. The allergic reaction is hives. So if you get hives, stop esmoking!
Since this is obviously a new product and long term tests have not been done, there is still the question of what happens with long term use. However, these have been on the market for over two years and there is yet to be a death or major injury reported. People have reported allergic reactions to the PG, but they simply switch to the vegetable glycerin base and are fine.
There have also been studies done on PG, showing it has some healing qualities.
With everything we know to be true about tobacco cigarettes, many users of the electronic cigarette simply believe that since the e-cig is made of approximately 20 ingredients vs. 1000-4000 (we are still unsure about this since we cannot get an actual ingredient list from cigarette manufacturers), that the risk is worth it.
I am interested in purchasing a Gamucci e-cigarette. Can I buy NJOY or Smoking Everywhere cartridges for them? I wasn’t sure if they could be mixed, I heard some do fit but what about the atomizers, will there be a problem with the different fluid?
Answer:
You can buy them in most chemists BUT NOT IN ‘HOME REMEDIES’ AS THE SPAM MERCHANT SUGGESTS
Hi, both of my parents are heavy smokers and i’ve tried to help them quit but they always go back to the nasty habits of smoking. I’ve heard about the electronic cigarette and I wanted to know if I bought one for my parents would it help the quit. Even if it doesn’t help them quit is it better for them to just smoke using the electric cigarette rather than an actual one?
Answer:
Some say that using electronic cigarettes can help you quit smoking.
By switching to ecigs you would certainly quit smoking tobacco cigarettes with tar and 1000s of carcinogens.
To end your addiction to nicotine you have two options with ecigs:
One option is to gradually lower the level of nicotine in your cartridges to become nicotine and tobacco free.
The other option is to smoke electronic cigarettes with zero nicotine cartridges while applying nicotine patches. That way you separate addiction and habit.
Here is a forum
http://www.ecigarettes365.com/forum/quit
in which some folks that shared their quitting experience with e-cigarettes.

Answer:
Heres some advice for ya, most e-cigs sold in stores are crap… I bought my first one at a gas station and is was crap. paid for it too. Came with one battery,3 carts and 1 USB charger. rip off
I had a buddy who had a Smox brand (pronounced Smokes). They are awesome, feels just like a cigarette, tons of vapor. I ordered one and I got my in 3 days (not bad). paid , but there refills are cheap and they also have bottle e-liquid to refill them with. Totally worth it
The best part is I e-mailed them with the location of a couple stores near me and they called them and now they sell there product, so now I just go down the street..haha

Answer:

I really need to give up smoking, it is killing me. I heard about these E cigs… I want to give them a try. How much do these cost and where can i buy them. In the store? Do I have to buy online?
Does anyone know how effective these are? I would hate to waste money on something that wont work. I think that if I have the cigarette in hand and feel like I am actually smoking I can kick the unhealthy cigarettes and use these e cigs and save my life… I think that they should start considering putting these in stores across america, this really could help people out.
Answer:
I’ve had an electronic cigarette for about a week, and really like it. I got it at a mall kiosk, and they let me try one before buying. I think it cost about for everything, and I’ve only gone through a couple of the five cartidges.
I really like cigarettes, so I haven’t stopped smoking them, but I have cut _way_ back, and only smoke when I enjoy it.
They do vary in quality. A guy let me take a drag off one he bought on the internet, and it did give more vapor than the one I bought. But I’m very satisfied with mine, and I’ll definitely be “vaping” more than I smoke.
Which electronic cigarettes are the best? I want to quit smoking and try one, but I have heard a lot of them suck. Any opinions?
Answer:
I switched over to electric cigarettes last year. I have to say that I am very pleased with the change. I have tried them all and I like the Green Puffer Electronic Cigarette the best. I found a good review article at http://www.healthyproductsnow.com/green-puffer-electronic-cigarette-review/ . You should read up on it and check them out!

i love to smoke but how old do i have to be to buy an electronic cigarette.
Answer:
There are laws in some US states to prevent nicotine sales to minors but not all.
The FDA class ecigs as drug delivery devices which will bring them under medical laws if they win in court in September. Ecigs are not classed as tobacco products at the moment so are not covered by tobacco laws except where individual states have added them. Until they are classed as anything other than a general consumer product there are no restrictions and consumer laws should apply.
However, responsible traders will not sell to minors. Nicotine is considered addictive and may be harmful so lots of control freaks have their knickers in a twist about banning its use no matter how clean the delivery system is.
Prolly caffeine next.
