Electric Cigarettes. Anyone?

I quit smoking a decade ago but know of a few that do E-cigs.
One calls it her "Nicotine delivery system".

I guess if you have to "smoke" this is way better.
Cigarettes are just nasty.

Perhaps there is a way to dial it down to wean off of nicotine altogether ?

 

To think these are any safer than cigarettes is naive at best.

And to be perfectly honest I don't want to sit next to someone smoking an ecigarette any more than a real a cigarette.

 

I use an IPV II with an Aspire mini Nautilus. I found that using cheaper units didn't develop enough vapor, causing me to stray back to regular cigarettes. Plus, you can always dial down a powerful unit, but you can't make a weak one better.

I think they are fine if people are using them to taper off and quit. I don't get it if people want to use them on a regular basis but that's just my opinion. I suppose they are better than smoking cigs but I know the vapor exhaled is a lot more than just water like they claim.

The two things that bother me about them are...

#1- people think since they aren't real cigs they can "smoke" them anywhere they want. Although I'm starting to see more places control them the same as any tobacco.

#2-People, particularly younger folks it seems, think they are cool and have even taken to wearing them on a lanyard around their necks like an accessory?!? Again just my opinion but I think that is just goofy as hell. Then again, I'm probably an old fuddy duddy anyway.

And for the record, I'm the worst kind of smoker..... an ex-smoker. Although I do have and enjoy an occasional cigar so I kind of get it in a roundabout way.

 

Most of the studies that conclude various dangers from e-cigs are done using the mass-marketed ones available in convenience and grocery stores. As such, of course they are going to have various chemicals and additives that increase the risks associated with using them.

That's why I only buy juice from local independent shops, where I can be sure of the ingredients. And when you are just looking at nicotine + flavoring + Vegetable Glycerin, the risks are minimal at best.

I am not disillusion, and inhaling the above mixture likely has more risk than not inhaling it at all. But that risk is likely a whole lot less than say, walking through a parking garage and breathing the air. And a heck of a lot less than smoking traditional cigarettes.

 

That is a nice box and tank...!

 

What is amazing about these are that many people dont think they look ridiculous using these things in no smoking environments.

I have employees that think it is okay to wear them around their necks, and randomly puff on them, even right in the middle of dealing with a customer.

I walk into a store a sitting in customer view is a case of vaping hardware that looks like a heroin junkie is working there.

Not to mention having to deal with people wanting to plug into our POS computer to charge. We have rules against that for phones.

I had a guy a few weeks ago telling me about his new ecig, that he could upload data from it to his computer and get puffing statistics. Ooooh, exciting. Argh.

 

Did you think it rude or did you merely think it odd?

 

I don't smoke, but anytime you are in a room with at least one other person, you are breathing "vapor" that has been inside someone else's lungs.

If I did "smoke/vape," I'd expect to try out the product - at least at a store that specialized IN that product.

As a non-smoker? I don't go into cigar stores or vapor stores.

Big tobacco is behind all those crazy stories saying ecigs are dangerous for your health etc. The crappy $5 ecigs from the convenience store are total junk and probably not good for you. Invest in a good mod or vaporizer with high quality juice and it is about as dangerous as eating vegetables. Using a decent setup is 1,000 times safer than smoking tobacco.

I personally use an istick battery with a Kanger Subtank and this setup runs about $110. Go into a high quality vape shop and sample the juices and find something you like. Buy a $40 starter kit and you are good to go. Most importantly find the flavor that you like - take your time- if you do not like the flavor in your unit, you will go back to smoking!
I smoked for 25 years and quit 3 days after I started vaping and have never had the desire to smoke again. Quite frankly now I also think it is disgusting and I cannot believe I ever did.
I do not think it looks odd - one bit! I do vape mostly where the smokers go but some establishments do not mind vaping. Yes if you do go in a vape shop be prepared to walk into a store that looks like a fog machine has gone off. These are the advanced guys with their dippers that put out huge clouds. That is not what a beginner is there for though!
Vape on!

 

No. Must be like having sex with one of those Silicone dolls instead of one that breathes?

 

You can now buy the juice with nicotine in Canada in B.C anyways.I smoked for 30yrs and stopped smoking
with th E cigarett.I can't believe i smoked all these years and i feel great.

 

I went to using the JUUL, love it! Hits about dead on to a real cigarette. You can also refill the pods
yourself with your favorite glycol. From time to time, people may ask you "Why are you sucking on
that thumb drive?

For e-Cigs, it's kinda classy and well designed. Price is around $40.

Here is an eBay listing for $35.
