The electronic cigarette is a revolutionary device that acts much the same way an ordinary tobacco cigarette would, but rather than toxic smoke, it produces vaporized nicotine. The E Cig is all the fun of nicotine, less the toxins in cigarettes. Although new, the e-cigarette may be the answer for those of us who want to smoke, but aren’t fond of a shortened life span.
In addition to nicotine delivery, this vapor also provides a flavor and physical sensation similar to that of inhaled tobacco smoke, while no tobacco, smoke, or combustion is actually involved in its operation.
I have one of these, out of all the smoking replacements i have tried this has to be the best. feels almost real except it does not feel as heavy as normal smoking.
will warn you if you buy a cheaper version from china etc then the cartridges are really hard to find and they can run out fairly quickly so it might be worth spending the little extra.
From what I have understood so far it does provide nicotine to the user with every puff, so it’s not totally harmless or addiction free. The benefits as I see it are reduced nicotine dose, can be used in public places where smoking/lighting is banned, less (or no?) second hand smoke for bystanders. Can the users elaborate a bit? I am not a smoker but the science is interesting.
Nicotine itself is not dangerous as such it is just an addiction. Its the smoke and chemicals that are the dangerous bit. Some of the capsules can have as much as 10 ciggys worth of nicotine in them at a time so be best be careful.
Forgot to mention i have tried using it in public places and been told to leave, i tried to explain what it was but they wouldnt have it. People seem to think it is still smoke but it is water vapour.
Since 2007, the cigarettes are forbiden in public areas (bars, clubs, …) in france, so this type of products began to be very popular !!
I’m not a cigarette smoker, I do prefere cigars and flavored Hookah, but I bought one from a duty free in paris airport just for curiosity … and it’s awsome !!! it produce a thick smoke, and if you abstract the fact that you got an electronic stuff in your mouth, thinking that in the world some men’s fuck kind of electronic pussy, or womans get orgasm with vibrators … you start to enjoy it !!!
today, I found flavored cartridges, and I’m resplacing my classic hookah with the e-cigarette, wainting for the first electronic hookah
most cigarette smokers who have converted to e-cigs claim they no longer use (and many cases enjoy) cigarettes anymore. they use e-cigs in place of things like nicotine patches and gums and they no longer have the urge to smoke cigarettes. a vapor is produced, not smoke, and has no lingering smell and does not contain all of the toxins in cigarette smoke. true, it is not completely healthy, but it is healthier than cigarettes. the ‘juice’ that is used to create the vapor can be obtained in varying nicotine strengths, and some retailers offer juice with no nicotine, just flavored. because it is fairly new, there are no laws for or against using in public. i am hoping for its popularity, but that it remains under congress’ radar so as not to be used as a source of tax revenue.
I have heard about vaporizers but not for nicotine LOL… it was actually on a tv show called “MANswers” the question was… what “method” of enjoying marijuana will get me the highest.
The vaporizer was #1… supposedly eating it utilizes something like 30% of the THC - smoking it utilizes 55-65% THC - and a vaporizer utilizes 85-90% of the THC.
If this is true for the cabbage… i would only assume that a vaporizer would let the user get more “nicotine” than they normally would get by smoking…
This is just what i saw on the TV show… and those percentages may not be 100% correct…
Vaps are pretty good but are fucking expensive. The “best” vapo right now goes for around 500-600. The “volcano.” IMO it doesn’t work as well as what I use. A water pipe with activated carbon. Vaps heat up the product and its in I guess an air/vaporized form but still has some smoke to it. For the whole eating/smoking/vap percentages, it really depends on how. I’ve eaten brownies with a shit load of THC and nothing. Eaten 1/2 a lollipop and gotten so jacked up that I needed to pass out. For smoking, same shit. How? The research so far shows that you get more THC from smoking joints/blunts. You actually get less THC from bongs, but you also get less tar in your lungs. Vaps are supposed to be the most efficient, but I just don’t think they work as well. Bong + activated carbon = 80% or more tar gone + great high.
Bottom line though, smoking ANYTHING is bad for you. It’s bad for your blood pressure, lungs, throat, mouth, and blood. No matter the method, it’s detrimental to your health. Period.
Thanks to you, I researched and then ordered an e-cigarette for my son, the chain smoker. I found a model that seems to be popular with good reviews, (DSE-901) and ordered one for around $50.
Its absolutely great! No more stinky smoke and filthy ashtrays, and my son is feeling the difference of no tar and smoke in his lungs, after only a couple of days!!
Nothing compared to a good old ciggie however if your trapped in a classroom for 3 hours which i am on a Wednesday i do enjoy a few puffs on my mate e-cig he used to smoke between 35-40 cigs a day and is now down to 15-20 plus hits off his e-cig so yeh its good it helps but in the end its your will power which is the only thing thats gunna stop you.
