How I Gave Up Tobacco with Alternative Smoking via Electronic Cigarettes

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.

Alternative Smoking: Coffee and Electronic Cigarettes?

Coffee and cigarettes has always been a daily staple for many decades letting folks of all different kinds relax and unwind while either preparing for what the day may bring or an evening with friends pondering the days events at a local coffee shop.

With these alternatives to smoking cigarettes, coffee and electronic cigarettes go hand and hand too.  With no smoking bans, you can smoke indoors in the local bar or pub and even at the coffee shop on the corner.  By now you know ecigarettes offer the same taste and feel of real “analog” cigarettes without the nasty stuff that goes along with them (smoke smell, carcinogens, etc).

So what flavors of coffee and e-cigarettes blend well with each other?  For me personally I like the traditional tobacco flavored nicotine cartridges and a good cup of bold coffee with Amaretto flavored cream when I am at home.  Continue Reading

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 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.

How To Know When To Stop Puffing On An E-Cigarette When You’ve Had Enough Smoke

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?

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).
