I switched to e-cigs briefly around 2010/2011, then back to nails sometime in late 2011. Then in July 2012 I got a real e-cig, instead of the early generation toys I had the first time around...
I enjoy my nicotine very much thank you, but I'll pass on the cancer and the morning lung-butter.
Advice for anyone trying to quit: Don't even consider the $20 toys you can buy at gas stations. Get a real one and buy enough cigarettes for ~4 weeks. By the time you quit you'll probably still have a few packs left anyway.(I still have two full packs of my last carton.) I don't advise going cold-turkey from nails to vape though, mix both, and run a slightly higher nicotine liquid for the first month so that your brain associates the e-cig with a bigger chemical reward than the nails and in a few days you'll stop reaching for your fire and the e-cig will never leave your reach.
Also, don't buy "cigarette" flavored liquid. It doesn't even come close to what you're used to. To break the habit pick some flavor you like, and run that. Banana is acceptable to most. If your nails are of the menthol variety, you're in luck. Menthol is easy to do and the switch-over isn't nearly as hard. Spearmint is good too. Strawberry is hard to pull off in an e-liquid. Watermelon sounds good but holy cow does it make me
from the flavor. Vanilla is nice, but it tends to gum up the equipment, I don't recommend it until you're familiar with your new e-cig.
