From what I have read on this forum this seems to be a great place with a lot of information. My questions are about flavor strength and devices. So lets start if off with some information about my father and how the topic of e-cigarettes started.
My father is 56 years old and has been smoking for at least twenty years if not longer but I'm uncertain of the total time. He smokes around a pack a day give or take. Also he smokes light tobacco flavor cigarettes like Marlboro light. Sorry but I don't smoke so hopefully everyone here understands what I'm trying to say. Currently he is using Pyramid cigarettes. While at the doctors office a few months ago he was talking with one of the secretaries about smoking. She informed him that e-cigarettes are a healthier and cleaner option. To me if he can make the switch it would be great since he would not be exposed to the harmful part of traditional cigarettes. I don't care if he never stops using the e-cigarettes as long as he can quit regular cigarettes. He mentioned the topic to me and got me thinking about it. While looking up information he mentioned that a local gas station carried the Smoke51 Trio. We both agreed that for $20.00 it would be a good way to see if he wanted to try this new e-cigarette technology that has just popped up in the last few years. I understand that there are mixed reviews on this device but it was a good cheap way to see if this was for him. Later on he can get a better unit if the Trio turns out to be a dud for him. He got the Trio with tobacco flavoring and 11mg of nicotine. Well we charged the battery and he opened up one of the cartridge packs. Both of us noted that it had a strong smell of tobacco which was not bad but could be offensive to others. To me it reminded me of walking in to a tobacco store when I was younger. He toke a few drags of the Trio and noted that it had a full flavor cigarette taste to it.
I have found that a lot of sites mention V2 cigs as a good e-cigarette. I'm curious if any of their flavors or another companies have a light tobacco flavor. Also I'm open to other e-cig options to bring to my dad's attention. I'm not really looking to use this to help him save money right now just being able to help him make the switch is what I care about. I understand that this is something he has to choose. Thanks everyone for all your help.
