I remember my first like it was just yesterday. I was a senior year in high school and cutting class with my best friend. We went to the local park with a bottle of wine and Hi-C (to this day I have no idea why we thought mixing the two would be a good idea) and after finishing our disgusting cocktail, we stole a few Marlboro reds from my parents to smoke on the porch.
Luckily, that cigarette was a one-time deal for my bestie. Sadly, it was the first of many for me. Had I known that this one indiscretion would lead to many years of trying to quit the worst habit I ever started (and one that seriously conflicts with my otherwise healthy lifestyle), I never would have picked up the cigarette all those years ago.
I recently was given the chance to sample a pack of blu eCigs and a variety of delicious flavors: Vivid Vanilla, Cherry Crush, Magnificent Menthol, Pina Colada, Java Jolt, and Peach Schnapps to name a few (Classic Tobacco is obviously also available). I’ve tried most of the flavors by now, but the one I consistently reach for is the vanilla. What’s more, this pretty-little-eCig has accompanied me to work, a Trey Anastasio concert, and even a few bars. It has also helped me through deadline hell at work and on nights when it was simply too damn cold to step outside.
I love that I’m able to carry this with me anywhere, that I don’t leave the bar smelling like an ashtray, and that I don’t have to worry about leaving traces of ash everywhere. These are a really great alternative to cigarettes, and the shnazzy packaging, not to mention the high-tech charging mechanism, are nice selling points. Starter kits are available for just $49.95 and they are now in more than 60,000 locations (click here to find the store nearest you). You’d be surprised how many people have stopped me to ask me where I found them in the past week!

I started using these almost 2 years ago when they had a very different cartridge design. They were great and I also thought the vanilla was the best (cherry a close second). Unfortunately, the batteries don’t last forever. None of mine hold a charge anymore and I no longer use them. Can you get replacement batteries? I’d hate to have to buy a whole new starter kit because I still have a ton of cartridges left.

Good for you, Charlotte! I really hope they help you kick the habit. I am two weeks smoke free as of today. I quit cold turkey and it has not been easy! I should pick up a pack for the times when I can’t handle my cravings.
