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
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

My personal review of the Green Smoke brand electronic cigarette starter kit. These ecigarettes offer a great alternative to smoking as they provide a very cost effective alternative and they are considered “tax free cigarettes“, hence no tobacco. These esmokes use flavored nicotine cartridges which produce water vapor that simulates “smoke”. I give Green Smoke a thumbs up!
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
