When I decided to stop smoking I looked on the Internet for any information I could find about the best way to do so. Along with people talking about going cold turkey, trying various gums, patches and tablets and often ended up failing, I began reading articles about E-cigarettes. After this information, I never looked back.
So now it’s my turn to give back, and tell you about my experiences with E cigarettes.
My First Puff
In many ways puffing on an Atlantic puffin starter e cigarette is a lot like smoking an actual cigarette – you hold it in your fingers, put it in your mouth, drawback a smoke-like substance and then exhale.
Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t exactly the same as smoking a real cigarette, but in many ways it is better. First of all, I liked the idea that I could smoke anywhere I wanted. I wasn’t getting funny looks from people in the street as I would do if I had lit up a real cigarette and I wasn’t surrounded by a lingering cloud of smoke that I knew was going to stick with me for the rest of the day.
As I have said, smoking the e-cigarette was different, but it was certainly something that I knew I would get used to and enjoy.
The Ergonomic Size
The e-cigarette is slightly larger and heavier than an average cigarette, but this is a very small detail and something that you get used to very quickly – just as you would if you changed from smoking cigarettes to roll ups. I did find that I held the cigarette slightly differently, but again, this did not make a difference to my enjoyment.
The “cigarette packet” that the e-cigarette comes in is almost the same size as a regular pack of cigarettes which makes it easy to carry around in my pocket or my hand, and as it contains all of the bits and pieces I require, I never need to worry about forgetting anything.
A Draw Like No Other
As you may know, the draw on an e-cigarette is a vapour rather than smoke so you will not necessarily get the same feeling as you would do from smoking a real cigarette. However, to me this is an advantage. After smoking an e-cigarette on a night out, I did not wake up in the morning with the same scratchy throat and rough voice that I would usually have.
The Immaculate Flavour
The flavours of the Atlantic Puffin E-cigarette were what really surprised me. I always thought that I really enjoyed the taste of a cigarette just as much a smoking one, but being able to smoke in e-cigarette that tasted of strawberries, mint or chocolates really was a revelation to me. I will certainly be giving all of the flavours a try – which will be easy as I can buy them individually.
So if you have yet to try your first e-cigarette and are worried about switching from the real thing then don’t be. Just give it a go and I’m sure you will find the experience as interesting and as enjoyable as I have. Also find out the tastiest flavours of e liquid. What have you got to lose?
