Answer:
It is actually satisfying. It does take a little bit to get used to because you are going to feel odd that there isn’t any smoke, you don’t have to light it, and you don’t need an ashtray. But you can still blow smoke rings. 
The electronic cigarette is like a regular cigarette… one size does not fit all. There are several different styles that are available. You can also choose your strength of nicotine and your flavor. If you are looking to “step down” you can go to zero nicotine. If you are only looking for a change or the ability to smoke where bans are upheld, then this is an excellent option.
There is a company called Johnson’s Creek and they produce FDA approved nicotine e-liquid. With this, you will take your nicotine cartridge and refill it with 3-5 drops of the e-liquid. It comes in all flavors. They currently offer empty cartridges for both the pen style and the mini. The mini looks most like a cigarette (link to a photo of it taken apart) http://www.e-cig.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/ecigapart2.thumbnail.jpg
There is a lot of information out there. The e-cigarette-forum mentioned above is having issues today (I think there have been a lot of visitors lately). We do write quite a bit so feel free to visit our blog and have a view http://www.e-cig.org. And of course, if you have any more questions… just ask! Most e-smokers are pretty happy and are happy to help you.
electronic cigarette, my younger brother have bought 2 of those and he smokes in the room. the good thing about it it doesn’t have that nasty odor. so anyone know side effects smoking it too long?
Answer:
I have been using my electronic cig every day, Chain smoking it from the time I wake up til the time I got to bed for a full year now. And I have not had one bad side effect at all. I just love it !
I’m not a smoker, but my father is. He has tried to quit it but he cant, so i found out about the e-cigarette when i saw the movie “The Tourist”. Could you tell my in your opinion does it feel the same as smoking a real one, and if not is it close? Also, whats the cost per week compering to the real one?
Answer:
It’s not exactly the same however, if someone is trying to quit smoking, it can be good enough to scratch the itch.
Personally, I enjoyed smoking and young enough to not have cancer etc… but wanted to quit. E-Cigs are a stepping stone for me. I’m still getting the activity I enjoyed but without all the tar and chemicals.
Generally I feel better and cleaner smoking an E-Cig than regular cigs.
Cost for me is less than cigarettes. I was spending around / pack buying 4 packs a week. So / week. With a budget e-cig i get from a local tobacco shop and liquid refill from Johnson Creek Smoke Juice, I’m probably down to about 7 bucks a week.
It’s completely ridiculous. I can’t contact anyone about this and no one responds. I get no click on the ad I AM running because it doesn’t say ANYTHING aboutmy products. I have a FDA Certification number but I can’t say FDA approved either!How there is nothing in the terms and conditions about Electronic Cigarettes or Personal Nicotine Vaporizers ?

I was think about buy this thing called “Blu electronic cigarette”.I want to know if there is anyone out there who has bought this electronic cigarette? whats is the pro’s and con’s of this electronic cigarette.Is it easy to switch from really cigarette to electronic cigarette?
Answer:
Before you go spend ANY money on an electronic cig – you really need to educate yourself a little bit. There are MANY different models and prices vary by A LOT.
I’ve heard good and bad things about the Blu. Then there is their TERRIBLE history on shipping.
Check out some vids on you tube – just search electronic cig or e-cig and read some forums. I find forums that are not associated with a specific brand of e-cig to be the most helpful as you get unbiased info on a wide variety of products and vendors. I like Vapersforum.com but there are many others.
There are tons of pros about the e-cig you can read up on those on the forums as I could go on and on and on.
Cons – kind of a PIA sometimes – but its electronic so you have to maintain it: charge the batts all the time etc.
Is it worth it – YES! 36 year smoker here – was off of tobacco cigs within 2 weeks (a good long learning curve) and I wasn’t even planning on giving up cigs – it just happened.
I would highly recommend you check it out.
Good Luck and Happy Vaping!
Everytime I read an article about the electronic cig its bad because of the nicotine. I was wondering about the flavored non nicotine cartridges, noone talks about them. Thanks!
Answer:
Nicotine isn’t necessarily bad for us if used responsibly. It is no worse than caffeine when used in moderation. Unfortunately, the delivery system (the tobacco cigarette) is what is bad for us.
There have been tests done on the eliquids and all testing thus far has shown that the liquid is safe. All of the ingredients found within are all deemed safe by the organizations world wide. If you are allergic to propylene glycol, the liquid might be a concern for you. The allergic reaction is hives. So if you get hives, stop esmoking!
Since this is obviously a new product and long term tests have not been done, there is still the question of what happens with long term use. However, these have been on the market for over two years and there is yet to be a death or major injury reported. People have reported allergic reactions to the PG, but they simply switch to the vegetable glycerin base and are fine.
There have also been studies done on PG, showing it has some healing qualities.
With everything we know to be true about tobacco cigarettes, many users of the electronic cigarette simply believe that since the e-cig is made of approximately 20 ingredients vs. 1000-4000 (we are still unsure about this since we cannot get an actual ingredient list from cigarette manufacturers), that the risk is worth it.
I am interested in purchasing a Gamucci e-cigarette. Can I buy NJOY or Smoking Everywhere cartridges for them? I wasn’t sure if they could be mixed, I heard some do fit but what about the atomizers, will there be a problem with the different fluid?
Answer:
You can buy them in most chemists BUT NOT IN ‘HOME REMEDIES’ AS THE SPAM MERCHANT SUGGESTS
Hi, both of my parents are heavy smokers and i’ve tried to help them quit but they always go back to the nasty habits of smoking. I’ve heard about the electronic cigarette and I wanted to know if I bought one for my parents would it help the quit. Even if it doesn’t help them quit is it better for them to just smoke using the electric cigarette rather than an actual one?
Answer:
Some say that using electronic cigarettes can help you quit smoking.
By switching to ecigs you would certainly quit smoking tobacco cigarettes with tar and 1000s of carcinogens.
To end your addiction to nicotine you have two options with ecigs:
One option is to gradually lower the level of nicotine in your cartridges to become nicotine and tobacco free.
The other option is to smoke electronic cigarettes with zero nicotine cartridges while applying nicotine patches. That way you separate addiction and habit.
Here is a forum
http://www.ecigarettes365.com/forum/quit
in which some folks that shared their quitting experience with e-cigarettes.
I live in the united states, I have been reading about the electronic cigarette and want to try it, I know that costco sells it but there refills are really expensive, does anyone know another retailer that sells it in florida?
Answer:
Try to buy them online. Yahoo shopping, & Amazon.com carry them & other brands the last time I checked. Or, just search for the “e cigarette” blogs & forums for recommendations depending on your tastes.
When I initially heard about electronic cigarettes my reaction was that this was just a gimmick. What do you think?
Answer:
Hi Poyiga,
I have various ecigs, they all work (no gimmick) and I love them. If you are a tobacco smoker then I do recommend that you explore ecigs. I am so glad that I do not have to deal with those nasty and stinky cigarettes anymore.
There are now hundreds of websites that sell ecigs. It is very confusing. Take a look at this buying guide here:

It lists various brands, the key features, and provides ratings by actual users.
Good luck.
