I’ve been a smoker for over 40 years. Over those 40 years, cigarettes have gotten more and more expensive. I’d quit to save money, but every time I tried, some crisis would come up and the stress would get to me and I’d break down and buy a new pack.
My kids have been on my case for years to quit, as well. My oldest daughter used to smoke a pack a day, and so she understood how hard it was to quit and not start up again. She’s the one who let me know about electronic cigarettes. She’d switched over to Smoke Relief E-cigarettes last year and has been telling me about them. They worked out to be cheaper than her regular brand of cigarettes and she didn’t feel as bad about going back to them when life got stressful because they had less toxins and crap in them.
Now, I don’t really use the computer, and I’ve never ordered anything online. If they had these in the store I’d much rather get them there, but they don’t have stuff like that around here. So, I got my daughter to order them for me. She said they’d just charge my credit card for shipping and then I’d get a free trial for 10 days and I could send them right back if I didn’t like them.
They came in the mail pretty quick, which I liked. I called my daughter over to check out the package with me and make sure I got them set up right. When I opened up the package I figured I probably didn’t really need her help, afterall, because it looked pretty simple. There were some small batteries and some ends that looked like filters and cartridges that were white like home-rolled cigarettes. Then there were the chargers for the batteries. One was to plug into the wall, and one plugs into a computer. My daughter let me know I could also order a car-charger if I wanted, as well.
We charged the battery, and put the Smoke Relief E-cigarette together. It felt like a normal cigarette, so that was good. I took a haul on it and it worked. I exhaled and it looked like smoke, but it evaporated pretty quick instead of sticking around the room. I’d ordered the menthols and they tasted good.
My daughter headed home and took my pack of regular smokes with her so that I’d use these new ones. I went ahead with my plans for the day. I figured I’d air out the house and wash the walls to get rid of some of the leftover smoke smell. I usually wash the walls once a month and repaint the rooms yearly. Both for a clean look and because the paint tends to yellow over time from the smoke. Hopefully with these e-cigarettes I won’t have to do that so often.
After a full day of cleaning, I sat back and took in a deep breath. This is usually around the time that I tell myself I’m going to quit smoking again. Right when the house is clean and smelling fresh again. But something always happens and I fall right back into my old habits.
I smoked the e-cigarette through the day, and it felt good. I got the nicotine I needed and I didn’t have to find my lighter every time. It was good. When my daughter came back that night with my pack of smokes, I told her to keep them. The house was so nice and fresh I didn’t want to foul it up again.
The second day with the e-cigarette, I had to do some errands around town and meet a friend for coffee at a coffee shop. It was nice being able to bring my e-cigarettes with me on the run. I’m thinking of getting the car charger so they don’t run out during errands. I like that I can smoke them in places I can’t with my regular cigarettes, like a restaurant or the mall. I’ve even taken them to Bingo the one night and got asked a lot of questions about them.
I’ve been smoking for most of my life, and I may or may not finally quit. But I’m glad I’ve switched over to these Smoke Relief e-cigarettes. I think they’re a step in the right direction.

Hello. My name is James Allen and I’m finishing my first week using Smoke Relief electronic cigarettes. I have to hand it to you: These are ASTOUNDING! I’m so taken by these that I sincerely wish to do all I can to increase awareness of these and to promote the popularity of e-cigarettes. My charger doesn’t charge my cigarette and is sometimes very difficult to open and shut, but I understand that this truly is a new technology and there are, as with all new technologies, a few bugs to be worked out. I received my starter pack as a gift and do not have the receipt, so I am a little dubious as to whether I will be able to exchange it for one that works properly. If you would be willing to exchange with me via mail or to direct me to a retailer in the Las Vegas/Henderson area where I can facilitate this exchange, I would be most appreciative.
Either way, as I mentioned earlier, I am a serious fan of these and truly want to help promote them. How would someone such as myself become an affiliate or a representative? I work in customer service, in a call center and I already know dozens of potential customers. I also know of quite a few call centers in town and am looking forward to visiting them to pass out flyers, demonstrate the product and sell a ton of these with/for you!
Hi James, I will email you directly and removed your email from the comment just so you don’t get spammed. Thanks for reading!
Hi I really like this e cig but I just plugged mine in for the first time to charge it doesn’t seem to be charging what does the battery pack look like when it charges mine lights up then it goes dark like it’s off please help I really don’t want to start smoking again
to James Allen. They will eventually send you a replacement. But by then your credit card has been charged, and the 30day has expired. IF you talk to one of their reps, they will tell you that your time has been extended, but they wont do what they say.
I purchased Smoke Relief in June (2011) from a smoke shop. I have been through 8 batteries since. The smoke shop will no longer stand behind the “life time warranty” because they are having a lot of issues with others returning batteries & the company is not backing them on battery returns. I have called the company only to have to leave a message, today is the 6th day & I have had no return call. I emailed them 3 days ago & have had no response. I paid $70 for the duel battery pack/kit & now I am SOL it seems. DO NOT buy this product, as there is no way to get replacements for anything! The battery is a lithium battery and according to what others say on the net, they only last 2 to 3 months.
My experience has been miserable I have bought 3 starter packs as there appears to be no other way to replace the vaporizer, the last one I bought was broken and never worked. So I know have completely lost faith! No mention of any warranty at the shop I purchased them all from, if the vaporizer is the weak link why can I not just purchase replacement. I have 3 charge boxes and heaps of cartridges with no way to use them. Waste of money it appears
