After you've quit with the Ecig
CONGRATULATIONS! You’re now a successful quitter!
Now that the electronic cigarette has put an end to tobacco, the next step is to decide how to spend the rest of your cigarette free life!
Do I keep using the electronic cigarette or do I pass it on to a loved one or friend?
What a great decision to make! Which ever option you choose there will bring you rewards:
- Pass your success to a friend:
If you choose to give your ecig to a friend or loved one, you will enjoy showing them how easy it was for you, and how they can get the same results you did! Not only will you feel great about it, but your example will be an inspiration to help them along the way. This will deepen your relationship, and they will have you to thank for showing them the way to a smoke free life like yours. This story has been seen with e-cig users around the globe, and now you get to experience it too!
One of the reasons that getting rid of tobacco is such a huge struggle for smokers is that we genuinely enjoyed it! The beauty of the electronic cigarette is that now your addiction is gone,,, and since you are not killing yourself with harmfull tobacco, you can choose to continue if you wish! No guilt. So smell. No health drawbacks. Just pure enjoyment. Many people make this choice each and every day, and you can now join the guilt free revolution... now reward yourself with some fun!
Flavorings - After you've got maintaining your electronic cigarette down now you can have some fun! You can do that by next exploring different flavored liquids. Many people find this one of the most enjoyable aspects of "vaping" an ecig. You can start by sampling pre-mixed flavors created by companies such as "Johnson Creek". Then once you get the hang of that feel free to learn how to make your own custom flavors by visiting our forum and searching through recipes!
Be a show off - As you are vaping feel free to show off! Your new 'habit' is a great conversation starter! So don't be afraid to smoke (and smile!) in public. Truth is you'll probably get a lot of positive interest from other smokers who are really curious about the device. Sharing your own experience with it will feel great. Since you are not burning tobacco you have a lot more freedom to vape in many many more places. So be prepared for all sorts of curious folks to ask about it and where they can get one too!
Customize - There are a lot of very stylish components that can be fun to play with. Brushed nickel batteries, pink or purple atomizers, etc. The one thing we recommend you avoid is red LED's. IF your e-cig is glowing red in your favorite clothing store you may get some funny glances from the store owner. on the other hand, if it is glowing blue, you will get looks of interest!

As long as you're enjoying your habit you can continue to experience the satisfaction of quitting tobacco. And when you share your story of success with other smokers it can enhance your experience and make a big difference in your community and abroad. Money saving tips about e-cig maintenance:
It's just as easy to maintain this healthier habit as it was to quit with it. Not only that you can explore some enjoyable experiences with your electronic cigarette. Even though the electronic gigarette is far far less expensive than smoking, you will want to maintain your device to get the best out of it long term. By properly maintaining your e-cig you will continue to enjoy the most satisfaction out of it as well as save money on occasional replacement parts! Here are some tips:
First off, clean your parts. Most models of e-cig can use a cleaning about every 2 to 3 weeks. 1 - Cleaning your Atomizer: Pour some rubbing alcohol into a shot-glass and drop your Atomizer into it. Gently swish it around for a few muinits to cleans the wire mesh that holds your e-fluid. Take it out and sit it on a paper towel to dry. 2 - Cleaning your Battery: The end of your battery will have 'threads' on it (like the threads on 'nuts and bolts') Using a Cutip, clean off the threads. With the same Cutip, rub any residue off of the back wall of the battery (the flat part at the bottom of the threads. This whole process will take about 20 seconds. 3 - Replacing your Cartridge (or mouthpiece) is not strictly necessary. Just take out the wick that holds your e-fluid and rinse it out. Rinse out the Cartridge and replace the wick. This should also take about 20 seconds.
Please note: If the e-cig parts don't get a good 'contact' then the "hit" you get from your ecig will be reduced. Cleaning will almost always cure this problem.
You can refer to the Care and Maintenance guide that comes with your model for more specific instructions if they are ever needed.
