E-Cigs

[Cuddlefish]

I'm looking for some reliable information/recommendations for an electronic cigarette. I really think that, if am going to insist on smoking, an e-cig is the way to go, but it's an investment and I want to make an educated decision. My only concern is price. I'd like to find the best value. Any help would be appreciated.

I had one.  They work.

I bit through it in a moment of rage.

Went back to regular smokes.

I don't smoke, but some of my roommates do the e-cig thing. One of my coworkers smokes right inside her cubicle. Every time I walk by, it blows my mind. There's some great info here.

I bought the Blu brand ones, which are cool because the come with a "pack" that is a charger and a case for more cartridges. I'd stick with menthol for flavor, personally. But all in all the thing worked pretty well. The smoke comes from fog machine stuff which I has no proven harmful effects but tastes a little but like the a rave's asshole.

...but tastes a little but like the a rave's asshole.

Why would you...

I bought one of these at a kiosk in a mall. I think the brand was Smoking Everywhere. The vapor was thick and tasty, and even at times more refreshing since it was kind of cool on the back of my throat.

Then I started losing my voice the day of a party and totally missed out on nookie as a result.

Maybe Blu doesn't have the same drawbacks. Battery life was a bit of an issue for me too and I'm tempted to try it out once I have more disposable income.

If you are going to look half as stupid as the asstards in the commercials for those things when you use them, I'd say just stick to the regular cancer sticks.

My girlfriend has switched (to the one with the USB charger and case thing).

Things she's noticed: She doesn't smell like smoke (which used to trigger the urge to smoke), which has dropped her habit from 3-4 cigarettes a night (she works graveyard) to 2-3 puffs after stressful calls (no need to go out into the cold night). She also has noticed that 1-2 puffs will resolve her craving (where-as with a burning cigarette, the ember and the smell tell her to finish it before it gets "wasted"). As such her habit has dropped so much that buying re-fill packs are very much cheaper per month than cigarettes.

I have heard about the back of the throat problems (you're basically inhaling water vapor + nicotine), which she did notice at first, but took as a sign not to over-use the device.

She also think this is a much better method towards quitting entirely than patches, as she can ration the active ingredient on her own terms with the little vaporizer (sound familiar ?).

Blu seems like the bast value from all I've seen so far. Quick question: How long does one of the cartridges last?

Beleive it or not, this has nothinig to do with image, it's for better health than my current habits can provide.

But sure, I guess it's more important that I look cool, even if it kills me... Asshole.

Well, it's not like the nicotine in the E-cigs is good for you.

So it's more that if it's gonna kill you anyway, why choose "kill you slightly slower while you look uncool" over "kill you quicker but look cooler dying"?

I just like the "smoke at my desk" thing.

Well, if it's about better health, just don't smoke.

Better around your kids two.
