You are going to spend more than $12 a carton. . . Especially at the beginning when you get the starter pack. The brand I used is eluma http://www.elumacigs.com . I think the starter pack I got was around $80. Their equivalent to a carton is $25. Of course, there are the liquid refills that eluma and other companies sell which are cheaper, but I haven't considered them yet as I don't want to go through the trouble of trying to fill a cartridge.

I've checked their site and they are cheaper than e-puffer (the one I use). You have to consider that after your initial purchase your expense is even cheaper than actual cigarette smoking. Refilling is a breeze and even cheaper. Like you I didn't want to go through the process as felt rolling cigarette was a pain and why should I go through the pain of refilling nicotone. It takes only seconds once you know what you are doing (I learned that removing the top plastic cover with a small jewell screwdriver allowed me to put 3 to 5 drops of nicotine in seconds). You can usally refill your old cartridge about 3 - 5 times as it then starts to taste bad. Yet, I have not bought any packs of cigarette or e-cig material since mid January. I am actually saving money now since I figure I might have supply for maybe 6 months.

Thanks Huck for the info. I'm going to cold turkey first. That's how I did it the last time and I was sucessful for three years.

I'm on my last pack of my cartoon and intend to start as soon as it is done. If I fail then I'm going to try the e-cigs as I've tried all the other methods including hypnosis; they just don't work for me. The only problem is and I mean this literally is lack of funds. When you are on a fixed income and paid at the beginning of the month for the entire month, the end of the month is a scramble especially when overcome with medical bills.:(

Hope you succed HI, I don't know how old you are but my self at 54 I found out the hard waY that the longer you wait to quit the worse it gets as every problems you normally experience after 50 gets multiplied by god knows how much more pain and problems. I had surgery in my intestines few months ago and I was really glad my lungs were somewhat cleaner since I had actually started on the e-cig in December 2009.

Good luck trying to quit again, even if you fail don't give up. If you have a problem quitting cold turkey, e-cig seem to be a valid options as like you I tried just about everything (except for hypnosis but I tried lazer) unsuccessfully. As I pointed out, your initial e-cig investment is more costly due to batteries and charger but then this electronic gear should last you some like over a year and the refills are dirt cheap while the refill liquid gets even cheaper.

Good luck and God bless!
