We have 24mg around here in certain brands, I'm using the zig zag brand traditional flavor and the highest it goes is 18mg.

The gal in the store told me that if the juice got into the tiny metal tube in the middle of the fuselage that it would be ruined and a new one would be required.

Ok just looked at the thing, it appears that the tiny metal tube is "encapsuled" by the mouthpiece and the juice may not be able to get there once assembled.

FWIW, The one I got can be "rebuilt" and I got the replacement parts while I was there.

They had a juice that was higher yet than the 24 mg, but I don't remember what it was (I'm sure I told her I wanted the second one from the highest).

So far I haven't fared as well as some of you guys, yesterday I smoked 5 or 6 cigarettes, today I've had 2 (so far) but that is pretty good for me.

Not smoking is and always has been difficult for me (at one time, I smoked 3 packs a day).

I should probably also tell you that I use Camel Snus (not that I'm advocating any particular brand), I opened a new tin on Wednesday and it still has 6 "pouches" left in it.

I use the Snus to keep the "crave" away, it really has helped slow the smoking down. Hopefully the Snus will be easy enough to stop once the cigarette thing is gone.

I really am looking forward to not smoking, I think it would be really nice to be able to walk from the living room to the kitchen without having to stop off in the dining room to rest for a few minutes.

Id suggest getting away from the Fruity flavors and getting the regular tobacco flavor, I got some mixed berry yesterday and it taste good but doesn't seem to do as good at controlling the cravings so I picked up another bottle of the traditional tobacco.

Not familiar with the "Snus", is that what we call chew? When you mentioned pouches I figure it to be a tobacco blend of sorts?
That was how I quit smoking was to start chewing the loose Skoal, now I'm doing pouches and it's almost impossible to stop. Just figuring if you are thinking when you get off the smokes it'll be easier to stop the pouches... it's not.

This is them. (Still not advertising or advocating)

Zippy, I sure do hope your wrong about quitting them later... Even if you're not, they still gotta be "less bad" than cigarettes.

BTW, 6 cigarettes today, not great but still better than a whole pack.

Well its been over a week since my last cigarette and Im still going strong and I feel better to although that may be my imagination.

Me to. But they look the same as my Skoal Bandits, Pouches. And it's another bad habit I picked up trying to substitute the smokes.
I figure they aren't as bad as smokes, can't live without lungs, but......

The snus is a little different then the skill stuff. No need to spit just swallow the juice. That said snus never really did anything for me but taste danged good. I think y'all got me talked into tring to quit again. Helps when there are others shooting for the same goal

Your supposed to spit? I never read the directions, never once spit while chewing tobacco. No wonder it's so hard to stop.
