taylor1989 131 Posted May 5, 2013 I just went to the site and honestly have no clur what im looking at/for lol im so lost You need a starter kit for sure I would start out with the basic (not economy one) ill go check and see which option it is. It's been so long I don't even remember. Like I said I got the couples kit because it literally had everything we would need. 1 PrettyThick1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taylor1989 131 Posted May 5, 2013 The standard kit or the Mother's Day kit (same thing ones just less expensive and looks like its pink) would be what your wanting. 12 & 6 mg is what I ordered and my second order was all 6mg and 0s (number is the amount of nicotine) I ended up calling and placing my order over the phone to get the additional help because computers tend to hate me 1 PrettyThick1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Debbie3sons 1,936 Posted May 6, 2013 My Surgeon said no smoking 2 weeks before, however I have been smoking since I was 13 I know not good and I'm 49 now so I couldn't quit cold turkey no will power on that so I would limit my self to 5 smokes a day then like 3 days before surgery I think I had like 2 more then I had 1 the morning before surgery cause I was nervous , then the day after surgery spending 1 night in the hospital as soon as I got home I had 1 took my meds & off to sleep I went by the 2nd day of being home I started lighting up again , so I guess I never stopped and I am still smoking but I am losing though , but I have changed my way of eating so one vice at a time I guess lol ,well good luck. 1 PrettyThick1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PrettyThick1 1,860 Posted May 6, 2013 I am required by my insurance company to be tobacco free for so long before banding. With all of the fears and anxiety I have about the surgery quitting the awful habit is feeling impossible. I've tried chantix, hypnosis, gum, Patches and cold turkey. Right now, it's the e-cigs that help more than anything I've tried before. Even with 0% nicotene, I've been very successful. 1 lucie159 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you don't want to wait, go to Walgreens or Walmart, Walgreens has the $9.99 (Blue e-cig - at the register)single as well as the starter pack for $59.99.

kmbrtn 4 Posted May 6, 2013 The dr gave me a scrpit for chantix but I could never bring myself to take it That stuff is horrible! I was using it when I had a hysterectomy and was in the hospital three extre days due to heart issues. Haven't touched it since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feelinggood 152 Posted May 7, 2013 i also quit with ecigs. 40 year smoker and could hardly breathe. it will be 2 years on 5/16 without a cigarette. down to 6mg of nicotine and hopefully one day i will quit altogether. i buy mine from cropduster901 i use echo-e kit. tony is the owner and is very helpful. he also sent me one to try without charging me. great customer service. they gave me breathing treatments after my band surgery because of the years of smoking and it really helped. 2 lucie159 and kmbrtn reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lucie159 89 Posted May 7, 2013 I have really been wondering about trying vaping and I'm so glad you all posted! I'm going to set a quit date and see how it goes! You'll be so happy you did! It's the best thing I ever did for myself. I have nightmares about being forced to smoke a real cigarette.. the thought of it makes me sick!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
