Some Things to Check Out Before Buying Electronic Cigarettes.

If you already smoke electronic cigarettes than you’ve probably done much research as to which brand is your favorite. On the other side, you may not know what you’re looking for and that takes some time and research. The major thing you should know is that you must be 18 in order to purchase electronic cigarettes because they do contain nicotine. Other than that, you really should take the time and read some electronic cigarette reviews, as well as learn what an electronic cigarette is and how it works. There are 2 pieces (unless you purchase a disposable) one is the battery that contains the heating mechanism and second is the flavor cartridge which you screw into the battery. Note: You are suppose to charge the battery completely before usage to ensure optimal battery length. Once the two pieces are together securely, you inhale quickly a couple of times to get all parts working efficiently (inhale the end with the hole) and exhale the vapor. Continue smoking like a normal cigarette and enjoy the smoke-free, stink-free, carcinogen-free electronic cigarette flavor. When you inhale, the flavor or e juice is heated (without fire) and you inhale the water vapor. It does resemble traditional cigarette smoke, but it’s really water vapor.

Now that you know what an electronic cigarette is and how it works, you should familiarize yourself with nicotine levels. Mostly all the electronic cigarette on the market today give you the option to choose what nicotine level, in mg, your cartridges come in. For the most part, and some may vary slightly, the flavors cartridges come in 4 different nicotine levels. 0mg, 8mg, 12mg and 16mg. I’m using Blu Cigs for a reference point. 0mg is as if you were smoking with no nicotine. Some people purchase this option because they are trying to quit smoking and need to mimic the motion of smoking because it gives them something to do with their hands. 8mg is comparable to smoking ultra lights, 12mg is like smoking a traditional cigarette in lights and 16mg is comparable to a full flavored traditional cigarette. Also make a note that each of these certain mg’s, even though I’m saying they are comparable to smoking it’s counterpart, they actually have less nicotine than the counterpart.

Flavors, flavors, flavors! So, you know how the electronic cigarette works. You know that most electronic cigarette brands provide you with the option to choose which level of nicotine is suitable for you. Now, you need to figure out what flavor or e juice you would like to smoke. As flavor technology continues to perfect what they’ve already created and invent new flavors to perfection, this is a competitive edge some companies are turning to, to sway your decision. There are so many different flavors out there, you may want to try a sample pack for your starter kit which would allow you to test the different flavors. That way you could determine the one you like and make your purchase accordingly. It’s always nice to switch up the flavor so you don’t get bored as well.

There are many things when considering the purchase of an electronic cigarette. Make sure you do the research to make an educated decision. The electronic cigarettes out there today have a more advanced design than in the past and have many more options for the user. You can charge them anywhere, smoke them anywhere and save money and your health while you’re going it.

My Co-Workers and I Switched.

eliquid — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 20:21:30 +0000

For the new year, my co-workers and I decided to try and quit smoking traditional cigarettes. Now, some took it upon themselves to quit cold turkey but the rest aren’t that confident in their will power, me being one of them. The group of us that decided to find a smoking cessation tool to quit, first had to do some research. We looked at pills and patches but I came across electronic cigarettes. I thought that the individuals that used these were just partial to electronic cigarettes but as I continued to read more and more electronic cigarette reviews, I came to find that a lot of people were using them as a cessation tool. I took my research to the team and presented the new findings. We were all in agreement to try the electronic cigarette instead of pills or patches. Now, all we had to do was decide what brand to use.

To make it easier, we decided to choose V2 Cigs and Blu Cigs, based on all the positive reviews on each of these two brands. The people that chose the V2 Cigs bought the Couples Kit, so you pretty much get 2 starter kits at a great price and then split them up upon delivery. The people that chose Blu Cigs, ordered they’re starter kit (in either blue or white) and also created accounts and signed up for the Blu Cigs newsletter to gain points in their rewards program. We all agreed, that since we seem to be saving money already, after each month, we would put the extra money we saved together and all go out for a nice dinner to continue supporting one another and also to grow the bond among co-workers. Of course we had to develop a tracking system in case one person uses more than the next person. And if a co-worker doesn’t want to participate in the dinner or can’t make it, they don’t have to. We all agreed that there is no pressure because we needed to make this a positive experience.

Everyone seemed to be enjoying their electronic cigarette choice and seemed to be sticking to the switch. One thing we all noticed after the 2 week mark was that we didn’t stink! If you were a former smoker, you would understand. Your sense of smell comes back in full force and you can smell tobacco smoke on people’s clothing that continued smoking traditional cigarettes. Another positive was the ability to breath better and not feel so congested.

When we hit our first month (we’re currently mid-way through month 2) we planned a very nice dinner for our “team” and shared our concerns, struggles and set-backs. About 50% of us continued the use of electronic cigarettes with no use of traditional cigarettes to satisfy the craving. Roughly 25% have used traditional cigarettes mixed with their electronic cigarette and the last 25% have “cracked” and didn’t like the electronic cigarette and said it wasn’t the same but are still using Blu Cigs and V2 Cigs on occasion instead of traditional cigarettes but were over-ruled by their traditional cigarette brand.

For the 50%, we are still doing well half-way through the 2nd month. Of course, it’s difficult but it’s also better with support. And for the one’s using Blu Cigs that upgraded to the premium starter pack, the social application is awesome (vibrates and the logo on the front, lights up when a fellow Blu Cigs smoker is within 50ft)! I chose the V2 Cigs and enjoy them but I’m starting to like the Blu Cigs features a bit more so I may switch. Plus there are 2 new flavors and the Blu Cigs users in our group seem to be swapping different flavor to try.

All in all, electronic cigarettes are the new wave of smoking cessation and for just a healthier way to smoke. I think if we all wrote some reviews you would see that maybe out of 100%, 3-5% were not a fan. The rest use them in their own way. It’s still a great on-going experiment! If you are interested in trying them…click below. These are the 2 brands we used.

Blu Cigs, And Why I Enjoy Them

eliquid — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 21:07:32 +0000

Blu Cigs are perfect for my lifestyle. I’m 37, live in Manhattan and I’m a stock broker. I’m a 2 pack a day smoker. That means I have to go outside about 25 times at work a day and if you add up the minutes for a smoke break it’s terrible.

Then I was searching online for electronic cigarettes and ordered two different electronic cigarette brands. I ordered blu cigs and v2 cigs. I tried them both. They were both great but again I live in Manhattan and perception is everything here.

I picked blu cigs as my e cigarette. Now I can smoke in the office and the sleek black smart pack looks great and the blu tip is has a nice touch to it.

Thanks Blu Cigs!

The Reasons Smokers Start Using E Cigarettes

javanx3d — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 23:40:44 +0000

An emerging alternative that is growing popular with smokers is the electronic cigarette. When you check out an electronic cigarette review, you will find thatE Cigarettes can be used in many locations that regular smoking is banned and cost significantly less money than regular smokes. Not only do smokers find that they can still get their nicotine fix, but the vapor inhaled when using an electronic cigarette does not contain the numerous toxins found in traditional smokes and does not produce second hand smoke.
E cigarettes are an exciting new product starting to get popular in the American and UK marketplaces after being first introduced in 2004 in Asia. THe products go by several names to include eSmokes, electronic cigarettes, and e cigs. Many of the e cig models found for sale are made to mimic the look and feel of a traditional cigarette, but vaporize smoke juice that is stored in the e cig cartridge that contains the nicotine solution, flavoring, and smoke producing agent such as Propylene Glycol Many smokers hesitate to adopt the technology, however, as the initial cost of a starter kit with many premium brands can exceed $100 USD. As a result, a number of new vapor smokers turn to finding a free smokeless cigarette offer as a low-cost option to try out vapor smoking.
When you use an e cigarette, instead of “smoking” the device, you are “vaping” it. When you inhale on the e cig, a microprocessor embedded in the device detects the pressure differential and activates the atomizer. The atomizer, in-turn, heats the e juice or e liquid stored in the e cigarette cartridge which is then turned into vapor smoke. Simultaneously, the tip of the e Smoke lights up (red or green) to give an additional sensation of smoking. E Cigarettes,however, do not produce any second hand smoke or combustion which makes them able to be used in significantly more locations than traditional tobacco smokes. Most major e cig brands also provide the consumer with an option to pick the nicotine level of the e cig that ranges from 0 to the equivalent offiltered tobacco smokes. Additionally, there are a number of free trial electronic cigarette offers on the market that also let you pick the nicotine level and flavor of the cartridges for tyring out the products before you buy.

Electronic Cigarette Vaping and Terms for New Users

javanx3d — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 20:51:20 +0000

When you use an electronic cigarette, instead of being called “smoking” the usage is referred to as “vaping” since you are not producing any combustible materials. Instead of a traditional cigarette which burns tobacco when you smoke it, the electronic cigarette makes use of a built-in atomizer that heats e liquid or e juice and creates a vapor that contains nicotine, flavoring, water, and a vapor producing substance such as propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin. Since e cigs do not produce smoke and are not combustible, they can be used in many places that traditional smoking is banned. A common mis-perception in the public is that e cigs are a smoking cessation device, when in actuality they are an alternative to smoking traditional tobacco cigarettes that don’t produce an odor and do not contain the numerous chemicals found in traditional tobacco smokes.

Deciphering Electronic Cigarette Terms

One of the education hurdles for a person considering the switch to vapor smoking is deciphering all of the terms that are associated with e-cigs. The following are some of the terms that you may run across when reading about electronic cigarettes or e liquid.

Atomizer – The atomizer is the part of the e cig that automatically vaporizes the e liquid or e juice into vapor smoke.

Cartridge – A cartridge or cart is an empty or prefilled cartridge that is used to insert in an e cig to provide the e liquid to the atomizer. Empty cartridges are used to manually fill with e liquid by the user while pre-filled ones may also be purchased from e cig manufacturers.

Dripping – Dripping refers to the act of directly apply e liquid or e juice to an electronic cigarette atomizer.: E Liquid – E liquid, e juice, or smoke juice all refer to the liquid that has water, nicotine, flavoring, and a vapor producing substance such as propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin in it and is used to produce the vapor smoke by an e cig.; Johnson Creek – A popular producer of American-made premium e liquid or smoke juice.; Propylene Glycol – The most common ingredient used to produce the visual smoke in e liquid. Also referred to as PG and is used in a number of other FDA approved products and is recognized as generally being safe for humans.; Smokeless Cigarettes – An alternative term used to describe electronic cigarettes or e cigs.; Vegetable Glycerin – An alternative chemical used to produce vapor smoke for those who are allergic to propylene glycol.; Vaping – The act of using an electronic cigarette.

How E Liquid Produces Vapor Smoke

javanx3d — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 21:16:27 +0000

Vapor smoking electronic cigarettes has become one of the most popular alternatives to traditional tobacco smoking over the past five years. All of the main-stream e cig products have cartridges that contain e liquid which is used to generate the vapor smoke that is ingested by the smoker. Some of the e cig products on the market are designed for you to refill the e liquid in the esmoke cartridge(s) while others are designed for the vapor smoker to buy pre-filled cartridges to refill their product. A common question that arises for new vapor smokers is how eliquid is used to provide the vapor smoke generated by the electronic cigarette.

What is In E Liquid?

E liquid is actually comprised of several substances in addition to liquidfied nicotine. Other ingredients contained in e liquid include water, flavoring, and either vegetable glycerin (VG) or propylene glycol (PG). Between PG and VG, propylene glycol is the more commonly found chemical in e liquid and is used to produce the visual smoke produced by an electronic cigarette when “vaping.” Although many e liquids contain nicotine, most manufacturers also provide you with an option of getting a “nicotine free” e liquid for your electronic cigarette.

How Strong is the Nicotine in E Liquid?

It really depends on what nicotine strength that you order from your preferred manufacturer. Most e juice retailers will provide various options of nicotine strength that range from none to the equivalent of a packet of un-filtered cigarettes. The nicotine strength for the juice is measure in MG per ml in the container that it is sold in. Even though the nicotine contained in e liquid is mixed with other substances, it can still prove harmful or fatal to children or family pets if you do not take care to protect your family from inadvertent exposure to the e juice by leaving it out in the open in your home.

How Long Will E Liquid Last?

Roughly, 1 ML of properly made e liquid will be about the equivalent of a pack of traditional tobacco cigarettes. Depending on the model of e cig that you vape, country of manufacture, frequency and depth of inhalation while vaping, and how your e juice was made, 1ML of e liquid will be just about equal to the length of time a packet of cigarettes would last an average smoker.

What Flavors Does E Liquid Come In?

Most major e liquid manufacturers will provide a number of options to you to buy or try out. The most common e juice flavoring used by early adopters of e liquid and electronic cigarettes is the tobacco or menthol flavoring for your e cig which is available from almost all of the American made e liquid production companies.. Other flavors that have been popular for consumers to consider trying out include vanilla, mint, clove, chocolate, peach, cherry, strawberry, and banana.

How Does E Liquid Produce Vapor Smoke?

When you inhale on an esmoke, the differential in air-flow is detected and the unit’s atomizer is activated. When this step occurs, the atomizer heats the e juice. Once heated, the e liquid will be vaporized into a smoke substance that contains flavoring, nicotine, and the smoke producing substance such as Propylene Glycol. After you finish inhaling on the ecig, the atomizer automatically shuts off and the e liquid is no longer being vaporized.
