E Cigarettes...

[swerve]

I've lately been introduced (by knucklehead) to the concept of smoking VAPOR rather than REAL cigarettes...

It's kind of INTERESTING and WEIRD all at the same time...

The E Cigarettes give you the nicotine WITHOUT the OTHER 2,000 - 4,000 toxins and chemicals associated with REAL cigarettes...

BUT -- for me, the one brand that knucklehead recommended, doesn't seem to work very consistently...

So I've been researching online OTHER brands...

This is the FUNNIEST review of an E Cigarette I've come across -- I mean -- this is SNL material (If you've seen REAL reviews like I've been watching -- it'll MAGNIFY the hilarity to a completely HIGHER level)...



They have MANY other video's up on their channel -- including a "gay sex" themed video called "sex on the beach" -- and for SOME reason are VERY HAPPY when their "subscriber count" passes each hundred mark (It's CLOSE to 600 -- so SUBSCRIBE!!! )...

Anyways -- go check it out...

It will MAKE YOU LAUGH!!!

Oh...

Back to topic...

Has anyone here successfully quit smoking using this technology???

^I was actually in a head shop here in Portland yesterday that SOLD hookah's...

JUST LIKE in the OLD cartoons...

I'm using one now connected to the USB port as I write this.

The first one I got was a typical pen style, but it didn't have enough power. I upgraded to the one in the photo and it's great. I use the drip tips because cartridges are a pain.

I do have problems with using it outdoors. It's too cold for it to work properly. Also, because it's a drip tip, it tends to leak in my pocket. Not a lot, but the goo is annoying.

Summer will fix the cold issue. There was one day when it was warm out and it was such a joy to walk around Kensington Market while vapping away.

As for leaks, I'm looking for a small pocket protector that keeps the thing upright.

Way better than smoking. If it wasn't for the cold weather issue, I'd ditch analogues completely.

^That's VERY similar to the one I'm THINKING about getting...

EXCEPT that it is a TANK system...

It seems like ALL of them have their advantages and DISadvantages -- and NONE of them are the "holy grail"...

Mountain Dew anyone???

 

[Snuffy]

Oooh! I want to get the tank. It's pretty much the same battery that I have in the picture, but a different top screws on. They didn't have the tank in stock here when I bought it, but I'll get the tips soon.

It'd be great to not have to "drip" into the tip... heard great reviews about it.

The portable models that actually look like a cigarette are the weakest, so you have to draw on them a lot harder, which is uncomfortable for most smokers. The ones that look more like a cigar, or "electronic" are far better, so if you want to smoke on-the-go - and it isn't absolutely vital that your e-cig looks like a real cigaertte -, you should probably go with one of those models instead.

The best, by far, are the corded, USB-powered type like in Snuffy's post. If you do most of your smoking at home, you should definitely get one of these. If you have the money, you might want to get this one for use at home and the other for when you're at work, on the road etc.
