Has anyone tried them before? What do you think?

I just purchased the Green Smoke Starter Kit. After trawling the internet all morning it seemed to be the best in terms of reviews.

Since they're being promoted, you can bet your rear they're stuffed with even more carcinogens.

Of the 4 kits that had 2 batteries and atomizers each, that I have purchased.. I only had ONE that worked. I was amazed at what a great job that one did and how much better I felt using that over the regular cigarettes. I think they have a lot of improving to do on them and getting them to work like they are suppose to but when you get one that works, they work GOOD!

My opinion is that that really are a lot safer than the regular ones just by how much better I felt while using that one that worked and I see it helping a lot of people to quit... if/when they can make them to work like they should.

No one offers 100% money back if you are not satisfied... Now I know why!
(some might by now but when I bought the sets I have nobody did)

I have since quit using another method.

don't buy any electronic cigarette without first checking and studying this forum E-Cigarette Forum. If you bought one before you found that site; don't give up as it's working for 1,000's of people and it can work for you too.

Congrats for trying. Hope that it works!

I had an assistant with several vices and eventually decided to quit working with him. The vices bothered me but what really angered me was the fact that he showed so little interest in getting rid of them.

Guy was a 45 year old journeyman plumber.....smart, did good work, agreeable personality. Had a small bag of tools and a larger bag of clothes.....all he owned. He was able to buy a car after working with me for a bit.

Vices eat lives up.

1) I don't like to pay people while they smoke 2-3 hours/day.

2) I don't like to drive into town to buy cigarettes and alcohol.

3) I don't like to lend money for cigs and alcohol.

4) I don't like to be awakened by the sounds of someone who sounds like they are dieing.

5) I don't like to find broken solar cells and an almost empty bottle of tequila.

6) I don't like to smell cigarettes.


You sound like you have more experience supporting vices than assistants.

I have a couple vices as well (porn & buying). If I had to get my employer to support them, I would consider giving them up I think.

His vices ate his life up, I didn't mention all of them. It was too bad. He could have been something.

Why would I employ a barrel full of vices in this economy?

Default trying Electronic cigarettes

I have been a smoker for 15 years and began trying Electronic cigarettes when they came out about 4 years ago. I have tried disposables and rechargeables and many brands. Unfortunately in the beginning there were a lot of problems such as quality, dependability, durability and taste.

...and, just in case anyone had any misconceptions about e-cigarettes, in the US they are regulated in the same way as tobacco (as opposed to medicines) - in other words there is absolutely no evidence of their safety.

I've been using e-cigs for a while now after extensive research, and there is PLENTY of medical data to be found - the only ingredient in the USA e-juice that is not a common additive is the minute amount of nicotine which is derived of tobacco.
E-cigs are safer than the 8 thousand chemicals / additives in cigarettes.
