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.

What is it like? How much does it cost? Where can I buy it> What does it taste like? How big is the throat hit? Does it get you buzzed like a real cigarette does? How much nicotine does it have compared to a real cigarette? How does this compared and how much safer is it?

Answer:

I smoked for 17 years, and have been using an e-cigarette since January. I’ll try to answer each question as best I can:

How much does it cost?
-0 for a starter kit. You will want to buy a few extra atomizers *the part that vaporizers the e-liquid* and some extra e-liquid to try a few different flavours out.

Where can I buy it>
It depends on where you live. The easist way is to purchase online.

What does it taste like?
IT is different from cigarette smoke, but after a few days, you realize it actually tastes pururer and cleaner then cigarettes. You can get over 100 flavours of e-liquid for your electronic cigarette.

How big is the throat hit?
It depends on the e-cigarette and the amount of nicotine in the e-liquid. Most smokers who try my e-cigarette usually cough and can’t handle the throat hit at first.

Does it get you buzzed like a real cigarette does?
The nicotine absorbs slower in the vapor then in the smoke, so it takes a few more seconds to get the nicotine into your body, but you will still feel satisfied like with a cigarette within a few minutes.

How much nicotine does it have compared to a real cigarette?
You can get anywhere from nicotine free (0MG) to extra high nicotine (36MG) strength e-liquid. I use either 16MG or 24MG e-luquid, and I used to smoke medium strength cigarettes.

How does this compared and how much safer is it?
It is comparable to drinking coffee. Nicotine by itself is about as harmful as caffeene. Just be sure to purchase your products from a reputable company. They should provide you with certifications of their products, or have them on their website.

I want to quit smoking and i’m looking for a good electronic cigarette. By good i mean the one where you can get the most smoke with less effort. I bought an e-cigarette that totally suck, almost no smoke comes out. Has anyone here tried a good electronic cigarette?

Thanks.

Answer:

Please advise if there’s any store that sells electronic cigarette in stores in Goldcoast or Brisbane , Australia ?
The point is I prefer to view it physically to purchase rather than just images.
Thanks Molly.

Answer:

I have no idea but you could try ebay where they are probably cheaper.

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 ?

There is nothing in the terms and conditions about Electronic Cigarettes or Personal Nicotine Vapourisers -but keeps flagging it as selling tobacco products or Drug Paraphernalia |

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!

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.

I’m trying to help my wife quit smoking and she mentioned that I research the electronic cigarette for her. Unfortunately, the internet is full of useless information on this things and I can’t seem to find any real reviews. Can anyone point me in the right direction or recommend what works?

Answer:

In my opinion the best to start with is a Joye 510 model, Thats what I started with, And here a year later as a veteran E cig user I still only use the 510, It’s just all around a work horse.Produces tons of vapor and a great throat hit. Have her take a look at it and see if she is interested -

http://www.ecigbestsave.com/Joye-510-starter-kits-s/28.htm

Auto is button less, Manual has a button.
The Manual models produce a slightly better throat hit and vapor.

E cigs are the only thing that kept me off cigs, They give the same satisfaction but better.
I mean, There is no guilt in using them, They don’t hurt you more than a cup of coffee does, With real cigs I felt the health effects but with e cogs I feel like I did before I started smoking. There are not a novelty, I know ill probably use them for the rest of my life. Probably one of the greatest creations ever.

Anyways, If she gets one, I strongly recommend she gets a few bottles of juice. They come in alot of flavors. fruit,desert flavors etc…. And ofcourse Tobacco or tobacco/menthol as well.
You just drip it on the atomizer and puff away. I have used cartomizers before but they don’t last nearly as long from my experience with them.

Here are my recommendations for E juice suppliers, And Ill write
a few flavors from each company to give an idea of what their like.

http://store.vapor4life.com/

Their Hilton and Kent are great choices for tobacco. Hilton being a sweeter tobacco.
I have never tried their Menthol tobacco, But have used their mint.
The mint is very cold. Gives you the feeling like after you eat a
strong mint. Good for a Menthol smoker.
Their Cafe Mocha is a top notch coffee flavor too.

http://www.litecigusa.net/

Their Wenston flavor is the most
authentic “Cigarette” flavor I have tried to date.
But all their tobacco flavors i’ve tried are amazing !

http://www.halocigs.com/

Their Menthols are the closest I have
found to a real Menthol cig. Its not minty. Just Menthol
with a bit of vanilla in the background. Reminds me of a Pall Mall Menthol

http://www.diyflavorshack.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=4

This place has the most accurate flavors for fruits,deserts etc…
I have found to date. Like if you get Melon it will taste exactly like
melon. Their tobacco choices are good too. The Black N Mild is a
great rich tobacco flavor.

These 4 are my usual places I order from.

Anyways hope that helped out some.

BTW want to add, I am not an e cig spam bot.
There are alot of them on here trying to get people
to buy their products. I am just a straight up consumer and am sharing my opinion and background in vaping !

I saw a video on TV about these electronic cigarettes that apparently don’t make any smoke, but still give you nicotene. Not sure how these works. Anyone care to explain?

Answer:

In a traditional sense, cigarettes are products with a large number of unhealthy element, which is harmful to human bodies. However, the digital age has given today’s smokers new means of smoking, the invention of electronic cigarette is the main reason. Mini electronic cigarettes are widely used in public libraries and they serve both the smokers and non-somkers.

For years it has been possible to buy nicotine patches and gum. However, these are often unsuccessful. For smokers, smoking is all about habit. Sneaking five minutes out of the office for a cigarette, having a smoke after a meal and more importantly, with a beer or wine. Unfortunately, patches or gum are never going to help break the habit. Will power will but when frustrated, bad habits soon come back. The mini electronic cigarette or the mini e-cig can be looked upon as an alternative to traditional smoking as its look, shape and feel is similar. This e cig recreates not only the look of a traditional, but also the actions. When inhaled the electronic cigarette emits a nicotine containing vapour which perfectly emulates tobacco smoke. However crucially this emulation is as far as it goes. The vapour does not contain any tar or tobacco, and as such none of the clawing odour associated with traditional smoking. The LED light at the end activates when inhaling further adding to the feel of a regular cigarette.
