Electronic Cigarette - Q/A 6 Comments »

Is it actually a satisfying alternative to smoking, and what brands would you recommend that are available in the US? Also is there any age limit regarding the use of one?? lol just tell me everything you know about them and if you don’t know what the are you can look them up here

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.

Has anyone here ever tried using an electronic cigarette?

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.

Smoking an electronic cigarette, does it feel the same as smoking a real one?

Electronic Cigarette - Q/A 5 Comments »

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.

Does the Electronic Cigarette help quit smoking?

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.

Has anybody tried the electronic cigarette to stop smoking?

Njoy I think it’s called. Is it any good, and how long does it take?

Answer:

The question you have to ask yourself is do you really want to quit? The electronic cigarette is not a “quit smoking” device. It is a smoking alternative. Now, do you actually “quit” tobacco? Absolutely. But do you quit smoking? Not really.

About six months ago, I started using my e-cig and still smoking my tobacco. I cut down from a pack a day to 4-6 smokes. About a month and a half ago, I woke up and decided I could just use my e-cig. I have had absolutely no depression, no over eating, none of the “quit” issues.

Is the e-cig a joke? Absolutely not. There are thousands of people who have made the switch and guess what? They are all tobacco free, still enjoying their smokes, and there is no second hand smoke, so it is better for those around you.

My suggestion is you do some research. Look at the different suppliers. Read more. Decide what style you want. Note: Njoy is just a name brand like Marlboro or Camel. Read blogs of people who use them. I love mine. I could not have gone tobacco free without it.

Electronic Cigarette?

Electronic Cigarette - Q/A 4 Comments »

I’m not a huge smoker, but I appreciate smoking. Like I bought an old man style pipe, just to see what it was like smoking it. Cigars and hookah’s too. It’s more of a social thing for me. I’m not addicted to cigarettes by any means. And I tried an electronic cigarette at the mall and thought it was really cool, it was kinda like a portable hookah.

Anyways, do you think it would be a good fit for me. It’s rather expensive, and I don’t want to walk around with something that no one else is using, and look like a complete douche, and I don’t want to actually get addicted to nicotine in the process. I know theres a no nicotine flavor or something like that.

Anyways, do you think it would be a good fit for me?

Thank you

Answer:

If your going to smoke, smoke a pipe. Pipe smoking is a great hobby. The different tobaccos makes smoking fun, you have endless flavors to choose from.
