When I first started out trying new methods to alternative smoking there were the familiar nicotine gum, patches, and those God awful nicotine inhalers that were just plain silly. My goal was not to quit smoking but to not do it as much due to it’s proven bad health habits. However nothing really satisfied me as the electronic cigarette does, it gave me the almost same experience as smoking a regular (analog) tobacco cigarette. I inhale and poof, there is smoke (which is water vapor) and a flavor that is so uncanny to tobacco it still freaks me out. Was not expecting this when I got my first electronic cigarette starter kit from Green Smoke, I thought it was going to be a joke. Continue Reading
Ok, so electronic cigarette curiosity got the best of me. Seeing how theBlu Cigs atomizer looks so sophisticated I wondered what the Green Smoke atomizer looked like and how it worked, I mean they are disposable and would seem silly if they are made the same.
As you can see in the video I took that nicotine cartridge apart and revealed what the big deal is. One measly wire surrounded by a filter soaked in flavored nicotine liquid. Although it does not look like much it sure does the job as you have seen how much “eSmoke” Green Smoke produces. Perhaps this is the reason it is harder to puff and take a drag on than it’s competitor, Blu.
It seems silly to throw these cartridges away, they can be reused with eJuice or eLiquid. This way you don’t have to worry about nicotine cartridges arriving in the mail dry or stale, you can add your own eLiquid at it’s freshest level! Continue Reading
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 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. Continue Reading
New to alternative smoking and electronic cigarettes myself I decided put the two hottest brands of ecigarettes in a head to head comparison dueling it out with each others respective flavored nicotine cartridges.
Green Smoke:
This e-cigarette has the “look” of an actual tobacco cig as the LED tip lights up an orange-red when you take a drag off of it. The tobacco flavor is dead on as you can really taste it and the smoke vapor has a heavy feel similar to tobacco smoke, and the flavor has a good hit and bite to it as you feel it just like a real cigarette. Even the second hand vapor sticks around a little while before it dissipates away. The other flavors like vanilla, chocolate, etc are light tasting and a bit too weak for me, but to each his own. Taking a drag off a Green Smoke is easy when the battery is fresh, but once it starts to wear down it gets tougher to inhale I have found. Green Smoke ecigs do not shut off so you need to pay attention to how much you are smoking, especially if you choose a high level of nicotine cartridge. Continue Reading
So today I finally got my Blu! It came in the mail via USPS in a package that was secured up like Fort Knox. Everything was encased in plastic and it had a “new car” smell to it, very elegant and top notch first impression. Lets hope all goes as good as the packaging, eh?
25 Free Nicotine Cartridges Coupon
Now this is what drew me in via a Blu Cigs coupon, not only does Blu look cool with a sleek black pen style and a blue LED at the tip, but it’s a steal! For only $59.95 you get the Blu Cigs starter kit including 2 batteries, 2 atomizers, 2 USB chargers, a rechargeable “pack” that resembles a pack of cigs, 25 flavored nicotine cartridges, and FREE shipping plus these are considered tax free cigarettes (hey, that counts)!
Alternative Smoking With Blu Cigs
Blu Cigs are easy to use, the drag is smooth and you hear some sizzle and popping while your lungs feel the “smoke” just like a real cigarette, even the throat feels
blu!
like your smoking a traditional tobacco cig. Blu’s “pack” stays charged so when your battery runs out the pack will charge it up to six times before you need to
recharge the pack again. Also Blu warns you with quick flashes of it’s blue LED if you have puffed more than 6 times in a minute as to help you avoid over consumption of nicotine, I did not know that until I read the instruction manual (yes, I read instruction manuals)
Watch the video for the whole “experience”. I tried the “Jumping Java” flavor first, was expecting coffee but was hit with a strong taste of beer! Mind you I like beer, but not what I was expecting.
I will be doing a Green Smoke vs Blu Cigs soon, so stay tuned…
