I have quit smoking since Nov.  Just started with e-cigs but didn't start real smoking again.
I've taken to dripping, works good for me, I get a pretty good throat hit.
But I gave it to a friend to try for just a couple hits (he smokes) and he said it was very strong!  Is there something about smoking that enhances the hit?
Anybody else notice this?

Yes. I tend to agree! As I just closed my website (HealthySmokeShop),
I let a lot of people try ecigs, and when I would give a smoker a 36mg hit,
a lot of them said they even got dizzy! I don't myself, but I think because of
e-smoking so much 36mg, you don't realize after a while (Especially puffing on a USB with Flavored e-liquid)
how much Nicotine you are really getting! I probably was smoking more Nicotine
than when I smoked analog cigarettes! So be careful, or you may actually increase
you habit to a point where if you were to go back to analogs you would need 3 or 4 packs a day to fill your need!
 

It is some time ago now that you, as a smoker, have had that choice. Within the last decade there has been a sharp shift in attitudes to smoking. Poor nutrition and inner anxiety probably contribute more to death than anything else. It is no coincidence that heart disease is the leasing cause of death.

You are obviously not a smoker. Easy habit to pick up, hard habit to break. And the truth is, some of us enjoy it. Without all the crap that is in analog cigarettes, it is far less problematic, so far. I'm not saying this is the perfect answer, but it's far less dangerous than smoking regular cigarettes. Besides, e-cigs were invented as a way to wean yourself off regular cigarettes. If people take it too far, than that's like anything else that can be good in moderation, but somewhat unhealthy in excess. A glass of wine a day, is beneficial, a bottle is not...

I didn't noticed that, for me e-cig are the best.
