I closed my northern california stores and went into the Electronic Cigarette industry.

My first 23 days, I have quit smoking, started jogging and every day I get to watch 3-5 people make life changing decisions.

Quit Smoking Now
Our locations are in

San Jose - Valley Fair
Modesto- vintage Faire
Roseville- Galleria @ Roseville
Pleaston - Stone-ridge
Fairfield - Salano Mall


I quit smoking after smoking a pack a day for 7 years. I had no withdrawals, Anybody who you love who smokes, come check this shit out, test out what the entire internet has already heard about.

I swear on my life that this product changed my life, any struggling smokers out there need to see this, there is a way out of certain lung cancer.


I am not posting this to generate interest in our stores alone, but to spread the good word.

The Quit Smoking Now Movement is in full swing.

Congrats, smoking is just such a bothersome idea to me, makes me sad that it's so mainstream.

Right on brother!

Do you have any tips on how you were able to do it?

I would love to be able to share them with my customers!

I heard from my friends that "quitting" isn't hard for a short period of time (this could even be months), but then there will always be this temptation to smoke "just one" (especially when drinking, or bored waiting for someone/something), then once you start, there's no end.

Is this true?

I dont understand why people smoke
First of all, it's expensive as shit, and im a broke ass college kid.
Second of all, it has no health benefits whatsoever and the feeling you get from smoking isn't that good either.

What did your old norcal stores sell? (maybe cigs?)

Good luck on your quest and on your business.

I think people experience smoking cigarettes different, just as with alcohol and other drugs. For me it was pretty damn wonderful, and once i got addicted to the nicotine satisfying it with a cigarette became even better. Quit smoking using Snus instead (:

Congrats! I quit 1 year 20 days ago after being about a 1.5 packs a day smoker for about 3 years. Quitting actually wasn't that bad, cause I really did want to stop, I did have cravings etc, but got over them after about 4 weeks. Still to this day I randomly have super vivid dreams about smoking, I can feel the smoke in my lungs and the nicotine fulfilling the craving so well, in the dream, and sometimes it leaves me with the memory of feeling like I actually smoked.

My father has been smoking for 25 years, most of my family have a certain tolerance to it... I cant even take one whiff passing someone on the street without totally choking on it. Seem to be really sensitive to cigarette/tobacco smoke.

r u serious?

of course u dont' have withdrawals... ur not quitting nicotine!

u really think those vapors are absolutely innert and have no effect on you?

ppl on the patch may just as well say "i quit smoking" too.

the real goal of the patch, or any other form of alternative nicotine is to wean down on it. a lesser goal would just be to keep taking the nicotine while avoiding the cigarette chemicals, but that's not really quitting. stop making it sound like u quit.

why do u think the E-cig is being all hyped if it's main thing is to deliver the nicotine? there's already a nicotine deliverer without the other chemicals of cigarettes. the nicotine patch. the answer is that it's more profitable than the patch. and it's not that hard for companies to get doctors on board for promotion.

also, ppl have too much faith in the bearers of science. science is all sound and dandy, but the people regularly twist, obscure, hide, data, studies, and conclusions. exmaples : aspartame, glutamate, NSAIDs, holding back laetrile on faulty grounds, etc etc etc. I say again, do u really think that vapor is innert and harmless?

u know a few decades ago scientists and doctors were promoting ozone inhaling? they had ozone generating machines and whatnot.
doctors also recommended smoking the old fashioned cigarettes too.



congrats for not truly quitting, and getting suckered into paying more than you need to pay for nicotine.

1) buy patch instead.
2) eventually quit the patch.
3) save $$$
4) enjoy true health.

i know my tone isn't very nice but u do what u want with the info.
commendations on the decision for regular jogging. that's something everyone, regardless of smoking status can do.

I concur completely. Nicotine constricts arteries. That includes electronic cigarettes.

it's the image of coolness. it's the only reason why ppl start. even starters hate it at first. they keep at it b/c of peer pressure and the image pressure.

heck u even see the SCV in SCV2 with a cig.

if the FDA were really looking out for us, they'd ban nicotine, not to mention aspartame as well as lifting the ban on the cure for cancer.
