so where do i begin? instead of spamming the chat with the same topic over and over, i'm just gonna make a thread and refer to this. some ppl have been asking/wondering..
tim what is that you are sucking on?
is it a replacement for your penile oral fixation?
is it a base pipe?
backwards keychain lighter?
well friends, i'm happy to inform you its neither of the aforementioned.
its an e-cig!
an e-what?
google your little hearts out. u guys have prolly seen them around.
well before i begin, i have not had a real cig or "analog cig" (lols) as they call it, since december 2 of this year.
a good buddy of mine recently got one and being the gadget nerd that i am...i had to have one. especially if it was going to help me cut down/quit. i still dont consider myself a "non-smoker" nor do i consider myself as having quit smoking. hell, if my batteries died on me or if they become no longer rechargeable, i would light up a cig. js. i have no qualms with that.
i am just saying that i'm kind of a hard case. for those that know me, know that i'm kinda of a heavy smoker. averaging about 1.2 packs a day for the last 10 years. i basically dont really crave cigs anymore now. it feeds me plenty of nicotine, except w/o the "combustion" of burned tabacco along with 4000 other chemicals known to be the root cause of smoking related diseases.
what is it?
its bascially an atomizer/vaporizer. it heats up liquid nicotine or "juice" as they call it..into vapors.
if anyone of you have used a vaporizer, you know exactly the principle.
um...lets see, i'm prolly missing alot of info here....
its contraversial. banned in some countries. but that is mainly because its being claimed as a "smoking cessation" device.. which it's not apparently.
the FDA hasn't really given a ruling on it, which they should "any day now".
to be honest, fuck the FDA. there's plenty of "holistic" things the FDA will not approve because...well it is my opinion that they are a business and their pockets are lined by the companies that have something at stake with their approvals etc. i'm saying they are a crock of doodoo. js.
i'll try to dig up some links....and news stories. if u guys find news articles (aim for good sources, not some joe blow dick nose's blog) please feel free to post them.
all questions concerns....post them here.
oh ya btw, i can actually take full breathes now. and i can taste food again. weird huh.
more to come...
is the unit, initially? I was going to get one for my sister for Christmas. She smokes like a chimney.

this is where i buy my juice:
http://shop.besteciggy.com/E-LIQUID-JUICE-SAMPLERS_c2.htm
try the 10$ sampler, that should last about a month. 10 3ml bottles of all sorts of diff flavors...cherry, vanillia etc. u pick.
the starter kits comes with 2 batteries (rechargeable), 2 atomizers, 1 charger and some cartridges (which u will be refilling with the juice).
actually teri...
this is a pretty good deal
http://www.cignot.com/product_p/kit-510-pcc.htm
after buying my kit i ended up spending more with shipping and stuff buying the personal charger. i alos got the usb pass thru which is basically a plug in when u are stationed somewhere like a computer etc so u dont have to use your battery.
but i'd look into this kit right here. it comes with choice of juice so u do all your shopping at one spot to save shipping $
Are you spending more or less with e cigs as opposed to regular? And do you know what the health risks are? They seem like a great alternative but the mysterious nature kinda makes me wonder if they're counterproductive.

WAYYYY less $.
20 bucks should last you a month if you shop right.
the health risk is that u are still ingesting nicotine.but this was is like a million times better for you in my opinion. nicotine is known to cause high blood pressure. which u are doing to yourself anyways, when smoking a real cig.
also, u will read about how theres toxic stuff in the "juice". well there's one ingredient (which very very few places even sell) that has some kinda antifreeze in their juice. most places have "PG" which is a food coloring, there's some debate about that too.
this forum has just about everything talked about under the sun regarding e cigs.

i started smoking Marlboro Lights cause I looked cool.
then i found out there's a ton of other chemicals in ciggarettes besides tobacoo.
so i switched over to those native american spirits ciggs. they're like 100%all natural tobacco from Santa Fe new mexico

ok so my atomizer is dead. apparently they do not last forever.
they last anywhere from 2 weeks to a month, or maybe more depending on how you use your ecig.
i was using mine VERY frequently and it lasted about 16 days or so.
so this is another component that needs to be replaced along with juice that needs to be replenished. atomizers run about 10 bucks. i shopped and this is the cheapest i found for 8 bucks.

So by Peter's definition, I am a man. Awesome.
a couple of new tid bits....
i use the joye 510 model. its well known and discussed. lots of modifications to be made with the atomizer. and its refillable. 15$ worth of juice should last you close to 25-30 days if you shop right.
some atomizers dont produce enough vapors. there are lots of mods u can do to it so it produces more. i get BILLOWS of vapors. js. just by tweaking the cartridge. i get huge hits brah.
if u guys know a heavy smoker on their last weezy lung that just cant kick it, you should recommend they try an ecig. u could be saving their lives. who knows!
