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.

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?

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…

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?
