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.

Tobacco Cigarettes vs Electronic Cigarettes

What I have noticed, (remember this is my personal experience) is that I have literally lost the taste for traditional tobacco cigarettes.  The ecigarette provided me a great alternative to smoking cigarettes as it helped me cut way back on smoking, but still I enjoyed the real thing once a day or so, but not so much now.  Taking a drag from a cigarette makes me go “blaaahhh” and I tend to spit, which I never did before all while the real smoke chocking me.  Never thought this would happen.  I always considered myself a mans man who smokes real tobacco, grrrr.  But, isn’t that the perception tobacco companies have instilled in our heads over the years?  Time to wake up and think for yourself.

It can be compared to switching to diet cola then drinking the regular cola after being used to “diet”.  The taste is not the same, and it just does not appeal to you anymore.  The situation is the same, I have gotten used to the flavored nicotine vapor of an electric cigarette that smoking a real cig is not enjoyable anymore, strange but true.

Taste the Ecigarette Difference

Even more weird is that I enjoy a good cigar a lot more now, the flavor really pops as it never did before when I was smoking tobacco cigarettes.  Not to mention food taste better, which can be a bad thing for a guy with a big appetite like me!  This is why I stick with the tobacco flavor nicotine cartridge, the other fufu flavors just make me hungry.  Even though I love Blu Cigs, I prefer Green Smoke due to it’s bigger size cause I have big hands. I use eJuice to refill the nicotine cartridges instead ordering new ones as I want the freshest vapor and most flavor you can get, and eJuice delivers!  The Green Smoke atomizer lasts a long time, don’t let the disposable factor mislead you, it can be used over and over and can tell when it goes bad buy a burnt taste or it just don’t work anymore.

E-Cigarette and Complications

After all, this sounds like good news yeah?  Pretty much but these e-cigarettes do have their drawbacks including the batteries dying out at inconvenient times, breaking them due to careless clumsiness, or smoking them way too much as to bring on electronic cigarette nicotine overdose.  You don’t want that, so that is why the Blu Cigs LED tip will blink 6 times when nicotine is being over consumed and the Luci ecigarette will just shut itself off.  Cigarettes burn out, electronic cigarettes do not, that is why you need to pay attention to how much nicotine you are consuming.

Alas, I have not smoked a cigarette in over 3 weeks and quite frankly do not desire too. I did not set out to quit, but it looks like it just happened. I miss it strangely enough and can not stand someone else’s second hand smoke. The ecigs are much more cost effective and with the money I save, I can now buy more pizza…

Buy Green Smoke Ecigs Here

Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 9th and Green Smoke brand electronic cigarettes is offering a special gift at a special price just for your momma!

I bet your mom has tried to cut back or tried many other alternatives to smoking or maybe quit tobacco cold turkey, all of which did not really work now did it?  I suggest giving mother a gift of life, an electronic cigarette starter kit that produces no smoke and does not contain the nasty stuff that comes along with smoking but instead mimics the effect almost exactly with water vapor and flavoring.

This mother’s day kit includes:

• 1 Short lithium ion rechargeable cigarette battery with Green Tip Lights Red
• 1 Long lithium ion rechargeable cigarette battery with Green Tip Lights Red
• 1 USB home charger kit  (includes USB adapter and wall adapter) (100-240VAC)
• 5 Tobacco Flavor 6mg Nicotine cartridges
• Variety Pack of 8 cartridges: one from each of our eight flavors – choose the nicotine level
• 1 Green Smoke electric cigarette manual
• 1 Green Smoke membership card

The starter kit will come wrapped in a ribbon with a Happy Mother’s Day card to show how much you care.

Each Green Smoke electric cigarette cartridge should last you about 110-180 puffs, the equivalent of a pack of tobacco cigarettes.  In my video review of Green Smoke vs Blu Cigs you can see me demonstrating the Green Smoke ecigarette.  When a cartridge is used up the flavor becomes weak and has a burnt taste you just screw on a new one with the included atomizer, that’s it.  The LED light blinks when the lithium battery needs recharging.  You can also re-use it by refilling the nicotine cartridge with eJuice.

I use Green Smoke and so they have been very reliable and their customer service is top notch, so why not give them a try, of course your satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back!

Yikes, ran out of my Green Smoke nicotine cartridges!  Got some more coming in the mail though…  This time I went for a flavor pack to try out some other besides “tobacco”.  Curious to see how they taste.  Maybe I’ll post a video of the experience, yeah…

Also have my Blu Cigs starter kit coming as well along with a variety pack of flavor cartridges so a comparison between Green smoke vs Blu Cigs flavored nicotine cartridges is a must!

Will post a video soon. 

Well here is something I should mention, most brand of ecigarettes do not have a shut of mechanism (except Luci brand ecigs) as I have found out myself when I blew though an entire nicotine cartridge while watching my favorite TV show ‘LOST‘.

Alternatives to Smoking Does Have a Price?

Green Smoke

Yeah, if you smoke it out to fast!  eSmokes are supposed to be cost effective, the problem is that a full nicotine cartridge equals about a pack and half of cigarettes!  It is easy to not pay attention how much you are smoking (or vaping) because you have not ever gave it thought.  The analog cig burned down and you always end up throwing it on the floor and step on it or flick it out the car window…  Wait, I’m only kidding cause us smokers dispose of our cigarettes properly right? c’mon right??  Good!

So Here is How to Avoid to Much Nicotine

Buy Luci! (ok, shameless plug…) But really the point of this post is you need to pay attention to how much you are smoking on these electronic cigarettes or you will get all buzzy and suck through your entire flavor cartridges way too fast.  If you don’t want to worry about it, then buy an electronic cigarette starter kit from Luci as they automatically shut off after a certain amount of puffs (usually equal to 1 combustible tobacco cigarette).

I’m sure you have seen these electronic smokes before and wondered what they are all about and how they work. Fact is that eSmokes have been around for a few years but have taken off like a rocket this past year with websites popping up all over and I even saw an infomercial on TV. A lot of different companies sell the ecigarette and all the accessories that go along with it like flavored nicotine cartridges, extra batteries, and chargers.

Are Electronic Cigarettes Healthier for you?

At this point it seems very likely that they possess healthy alternatives to smoking cigarettes, I mean put it up against a traditional tobacco cigarette and there really isn’t any comparison as the old cigs have over 4,000 cancer causing chemicals and these electronic smoking devices only produce water vapor, much like “fog” you see at a concert. It uses an atomizer to turn the flavored liquid nicotine into vapor or “smoke” giving you that realistic smoking experience. Plus you can get them with or without different levels of nicotine and tasty flavors.

What comes in an Electronic Cigarette Starter Kit?

Basic electronic cigarette starter kits come with one or two lithium rechargeable batteries, a USB charger to plug into your home outlet or computer, flavored nicotine cartridges, extra atomizers, and of course an instructional manual and warranty information. Each company is a little different in style and flavor choices.

So these are alternatives to smoking cigarettes and appears it can help people who no longer want to deal with the drawbacks of tobacco like the increasing cost, nasty smell, and the terrible stains it leaves on your teeth and clothes. Ecigs are tax free cigarettes in a sense because there is no tobacco tax.

So I believe the the electric cigarette is here to stay. What are your thoughts?
