Packs of Cigarettes have gotten too expensive

Packs of Cigarettes have gotten too expensive. $5.50+ for a basic pack of Camel Wides is just too much. Combined with giving cigarettes out to friends at social gatherings, this shit is just too damned expensive for me to justify on a limited income anymore. I did some rough math the other day and realized I was spending upwards of $2,200 a year on cigarettes. Its time to move on.

First off, I love smoking. I've always enjoyed the smell and taste of cigarettes. I may be in a minority here, but damn it I love it. Ever since I was a kid I always liked the smell of them, well almost all of them, can't stand the smell and taste of Winstons and Chesterfields. So whatever I do must be able to match the flavor, strength and smell of real cigarettes.

I have been aware of E-Cigarettes for quite some time now, longer than most in fact. Never thought it would catch on but the day I saw a small (and pitiful) E-Cigarette at 7-11 was the day I knew this thing finally became mainstream. I've bought many of these 'disposable' ones in the past 3 years for specific purposes. Flying, at-work smoking, long car rides with smokeaphobes, etc. But they never did the trick for very long. After some research I realized why, the nicotine MG level and battery power was just too low.

Last week I decided to take the final plunge, I purchased a Mininova from Vapornine and decided when it got here, it would the last time I smoked an analogue cigarette.
