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…

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

Green Smoke vs Blu… The battle has begun!

Watch this video:

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.

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.

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).

Ah, the electronic cigarette… what is it?

These battery operated ecigarettes simulate a real smoking experience with the look, feel, and taste of a regular tobacco cigarette but work very differently.

Electronic smoking does not burn anything as it’s all a simulation, but instead  when you inhale and puff on an electrical cigarette you activate a flow sensor inside the atomizer which turns the flavored water inside the nicotine cartridge into vapor thus simulating an uncanny look, taste, and feel of real smoke.

So there are alternatives to smoking tobacco when you simply want your nicotine fix and habit of holding a “cigarette” all while avoiding harmful garbage such as glue, tar, hydrocarbons (carbon monoxide) and literally hundreds of additives found in real cigs.

Oh, and these esmokes are considered tax free cigarettes as they are exempt from the outrageous “Tobacco Tax”.
