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.

Is it exactly like smoking a regular cigarette? I’m planning on buying one soon, as a replacement for regular tobacco cigarettes.

Answer:

It’s not the same but it’s pretty close. Different companies have different quality. http://www.cloud9smoking.com has good stuff with American-Made smoke juice, which is the flavoring.

I just want to smoke the water vapor and not have to deal with the nicotine. And if your just smoking water vapor its harmless right?

Answer:

I am not a smoker! I want to use these electronic cigarettes for filming, and don’t want the taste of it or the nicotine that could cause addiction lol
Is it possible to just have the vapour and nothing else? Could you take out the nicotine?

please answer, best one gets full marks!

Answer:

yes, pretty much all ecig companies offer cartridges without nicotine. What you exhale will look like smoke but is actually vapor. For filming this should work.

Answer:

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.

The electronic cig sellers advertize that you can “smoke anywhere”.. But is this really true?
Thanks!

Benz- Thank you so much. I think I will just see how it goes. I smoke like a freight train right now. My e-cig will be here tomorrow. Mine is black with a blue led, so it does not look like a regular cig. I don’t want to keep sneaking to the bathroom, but I think that at night, if I cover the led, and my seatmate doesn’t mind, I should be ok.

Answer:

I think you will be OK if you do not go crazy with it! I have smoked mine in Dulles Airport, Houston Airport, Charlotte Airport, Wachovia Bank Locations, Supermarkets, the hospital, just about every where. The key is to take a few puffs at a time. You get your nicotine hit and it is absorbed in your lungs (getting you passed your nicotine fit). It is very different than smoking a tobacco cigarette where you need to finish the entire cigarette. In conclusion, I use my electronic cigarette I purchased from smartsmokerusa just about every place I go. I am not sure about the other types (not from smartsmokerusa) and how they work. If it is a sensitive place like an airport I limit myself to a few puffs at a time. Airports have cameras throughout but I think they are not quite sure what I am doing. I take two-three puffs and stick it in my pocket. It is obvious by this move that it is not a lit cigarette. As to the bus, you might want to show it to your seat mate and explain to them how it works and that it is not “second hand smoke” that will impact them. I have found that most people including Docs, Store managers, etc.. have wanted to know where they can get one for themselves or a family member. Be prudent and you should be OK.
