Avoid Nicotine Over Consumption When Using Electronic Cigarettes

Here is how to avoid an electronic cigarette nicotine overdose…

This is something I needs to be pointed out as I myself and several people have told me is that you need to pay attention to how much nicotine you consume while using these alternative smoking devices like Green Smoke we know as electronic cigarettes.

As far as I am aware Luci and Blu Cigs have a shut off mechanism to help you avoid nicotine over consumption if you are puffing away too quickly, Green Smoke however does not.

Nicotine is very powerful and addictive, that is a fact.  The problem lies is the habitual part of the smoking experience, a tobacco cigarette has smoke burning from it’s tip and for some reason it helps us refrain from sucking all the smoke out of it way to fast.  I have found in my own experience that I do smoke these ecigarettes fast, hence the buzzed headache I received the other day.  Maybe it is just me but I find myself not slowly enjoying the vaping process as I speed through it for some reason.

So the point of this post is just to make you aware of nicotine over consumption and to NOT nicotine overdose on yourself as it can easily happen if you are not aware.  One person has told me that they smoked this thing until the battery went dead and the nicotine cartridge went dry, whoa!  Take it easy out there folks, ecigs are not toys and should be taken very seriously so the can be enjoyed fully.  So far, I love having these as alternatives to smoking cigarettes, but need to relax and take it easy.  There certainly is an adjustment that needs to be made when switching over from tobacco cigs to ecigs.

The Evolution of Ecigarettes and Alternative Smoking

A very popular gadget is gaining momentum and it is called the electronic cigarette. There are a lot of different manufactures and distributors of the battery operated device that potentially offers alternatives to smoking the standard tobacco cig. Of course we are all well aware of the hazards of smoking tobacco but continue to puff away anyhow. Some blame the addiction to nicotine but I will be honest and will say I enjoy smoking, although not happy and very aware of the health problems that they have been proven to cause.

==> Green Smoke

Today we have alternatives to smoking cigarettes with some silly products like the nicotine gum which taste like a minty moldy tree and a hideous patch to deliver a nicotine jolt.  There are more products that will help you quit your addiction to cigarettes but none really offer an alternative to smoking except the electric cigarette. Now you can do more than simulate smoking, you can actually smoke, but without the smoke. Sounds strange doesn’t it? Basically a battery operated pen style ecig produces water vapor or fog that resembles tobacco smoke, it even taste and looks like it as I was amazed by this at the first puff. Skeptical was I, enlightened I became.

Electronic cigarette smoking uses a battery to engage an atomizer when you inhale to turn the liquid in the optional multi-flavored nicotine cartridge into a vapor that appears as smoke, it is thick and white and bellows out of your lungs as if you took a drag on a Marlboro or whatever your poison and there are many great companies selling the e-cigarette.

The electric cigarette has come under fire for containing “anti-freeze” but don’t be fooled!  The ingredient they speak of is the nicotine diluted in propylene glycol or glycerin, both common food additives, read that again “common food additives”.  Even still some companies are starting to use vegetable glycerin as a replacement additive rather than propylene glycol.  The FDA just recently lost a court case blocking distribution of electronic cigs so it seems the balance of power is shifting and there is even the formation of the ecassoc (Electronic Cigarette Association).

So, if you want to try something new and not looking to quit there is an alternative to smoking with electronics cigarettes as they offer many flavors (tobacco, cherry, apple, etc), levels of nicotine, and styles available to suit even the most persnickety smoker.

Awaiting My Blu Cigs Starter Kit for Review

Recently ordered the Blu Cigs starter kit in black color (cause it looks cool!) and will review it once I get it.  It comes with a rechargeable pack which seems pretty nifty.

Want proof of electric cigarettes cost effectiveness? Well here it is as you Can NOT beat Blu Cigs price, only $59.95 with free shipping AND 25 free nicotine cartridges in a flavor variety pack.  Chose the “ultra lights” nicotine strength as we will see how they compare to my old favs Salem Ultra Lights.

Now this is a friggen deal man, try and beat that fellow e-cigarette competitors!  Hope it lives up to it solid reputation… We’ll see soon as I will make a video review and take some photos also.

However, Green Smoke is better!

Behold the Electronic Cigarette as a Great Alternative to Smoking

Ah, the electronic cigarette… what is it?

These battery operated ecigarettes simulate a real smoking experience with the look, feel, and taste of a regular tobacco cigarette but work very differently.

Electronic smoking does not burn anything as it’s all a simulation, but instead  when you inhale and puff on an electrical cigarette you activate a flow sensor inside the atomizer which turns the flavored water inside the nicotine cartridge into vapor thus simulating an uncanny look, taste, and feel of real smoke.

So there are alternatives to smoking tobacco when you simply want your nicotine fix and habit of holding a “cigarette” all while avoiding harmful garbage such as glue, tar, hydrocarbons (carbon monoxide) and literally hundreds of additives found in real cigs.

Oh, and these esmokes are considered tax free cigarettes as they are exempt from the outrageous “Tobacco Tax”.
