Electronic Cigarette Cartridges

December 3rd, 2010 Comments off

Electronic cigarettes, whether they are reusable or disposable, contain the same components and are used for the same purpose – a more health conscious alternative to traditional cigarettes. The basic features of an electronic cigarette include the mouthpiece, a heating element, electronic circuits and a rechargeable battery.

The mouthpiece, more commonly referred to as the cartridge is a small piece of material, usually plastic, that is affixed to the end of the electronic tube. Inside the mouthpiece, there is a smaller plastic cup, which holds the absorbent material, also referred to as the e-liquid. The inner cup of the cartridge allows air to flow around it and through a hole in the end of the outer piece. It is through this that the suction action that the vapor is able to move into the user’s mouth.

The cartridge comes in two forms: pre-filled or refillable. When the e-liquid in the cartridge has been depleted, it must be refilled. The difference between the two is just as their name implies. Pre-filled cartridges are just that – they come pre-filled with a specific flavor or kind of e-liquid and must be replaced when the e-liquid is all used up. Refillable cartridges, must be refilled when the liquid dries up.

The difference in choosing between a refillable or pre-filled cartridge is strictly a personal preference, whether it’s convenience or financial. Refillable cartridges are more cost-effective because the user is responsible for refilling their own electronic cigarette cartridge instead of throwing them away. In order to refill the electronic cigarette cartridge, the user must purchase the e-liquid and fill it on their own. Because of the steps involved in the process, some smokers opt for the convenience of pre-filled cartridges. But each refillable cartridge will come with its own refilling instructions and there are plenty of online resources as well that can help the beginners refill their electronic cigarette cartridges on their own.

Refillable or pre-filled electronic cigarette cartridges can come in a variety of flavors like, regular, menthol, almond, apple, cherry, chocolate, clove, coffee, peach, strawberry and vanilla. They also come in varying levels of nicotine strength, with the most common ones being 0mg, 6mg, 12mg, and 16mg.

Electronic cigarette cartridge lasts approximately the same amount of time as two packs of tobacco cigarettes, once again offering a cost-efficient alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes, especially given the ever increasing cost of a pack of cigarettes.

Electronic cigarette cartridges can be purchased singularly or in multiple pack, like five per cartridge. They can be purchased in smoking shops like a humidor or at online retail shops that specialize in selling electronic cigarettes and the equipment and components that go with them.

While the safety of electronic cigs is still under scrutiny, the American Association of Public Health Physicians has come out in support of electronic cigarettes. The organization has stated that the effects of second-hand smoke can be significantly decreased using electronic cigarettes.

Electric cigarettes should only be used for adults over the age of 18. They are also not meant to be used as a smoking cessation produce or device.

Electronic Cigs

November 28th, 2010 Comments off

E-cigarettes, personal vaporizers, electronic cigs, - whatever name they go by, electronic cigarettes are gaining strong popularity as an alternative to traditional cigarettes.

Electronic cigs offer all the look and feel of smoking a traditional cigarette, but without many of the adverse health effects. But it’s not just their health aspects that are appealing, but rather the way in which they look just like traditional cigarettes. In fact, the resemblance between a real cigarette and an electronic cigarette is so similar that people, smokers and nonsmokers, cannot tell the difference between an electronic cig and a traditional one. It is the electronic cigs long and thin tube that makes it resemble a traditional cigarette and provides the individual with the illusion that they are smoking a real cigarette.

Since the fifties, when the perils smoking were made known, smoking rates have been decreasing. But over the past few years, the number of Americans who smoke has stayed steady, averaging around 20 percent or one in five Americans. Those that do smoke are searching for a safer way to still enjoy their habit, but not be harmed by many of smoking negative side effects.

The revolutionary creation of the electronic cig offers smokers a chance to enjoy the experience of smoking without dealing with many of the unhealthy consequences and its lingering smell.

Electronic Cigs Basics

An electronic cig is comprised of a battery-powered device that allows the user to inhale doses of a nicotine or non-nicotine vaporized solution. Electronic cigs can also be used as a substitute for other smoked tobacco products like cigars and pipes.

The inhaled vapor provides a similar taste and sensation just like those experienced in a traditional smoking device. The only difference is that there is no smoke or combustion involved, because they are smoke and tar-free, thereby reducing some of its respiratory effects and reducing the risk for secondhand smoke.

How the Electronic Cig Works

When the user inhales through the mouthpiece, a sensor is engaged that activates the heating element. This heating component then warms the nicotine solution, which produces a vapor that is then inhaled by the smoker. When the smoker exhales, an odorless and smokeless mist is emitted. Electronic cigs are also affixed with an LED light at the bottom of the device. The light illumines upon inhalation, just like the embers of a traditional cigarette.

Electronic cigs can come in a variety of nicotine levels and flavors. An individual can choose among the classic flavor to flavors like menthol, vanilla, coffee, apple, and others.

Most electronic cigs are reusable, whereby the individual can purchase the replaceable and refillable parts when needed. Just recently, disposable electric cigarettes were created. These offer the equivalence of smoking two packs of cigarettes, making it a cost-effective solution for the ever increasing price of cigarettes.

Both kinds of electric cigarettes, reusable and disposable, contain the same basic features of a mouthpiece, a heating element, electronic circuits and a rechargeable battery.

Those who want to test out electronic cigs may have to search a bit harder than just their typical convenience stores, gas stations and grocery stores. Very few of these venues sell electronic cigs. They can though be found at smoke shops, humidors on online stores that specialize in selling electric cigarettes. Online stores that sell electronic cigs also sell the accessories, parts and components that go along with them, such as batteries, travel packs, e-liquid, cartridges, atomizers and chargers.

While the safety of electronic cigs is still under scrutiny, the American Association of Public Health Physicians has come out in support of electronic cigarettes. The organization has stated that the effects of second-hand smoke can be significantly decreased using electronic cigarettes.

Electric cigarettes should only be used for adults over the age of 18. They are also not meant to be used as a smoking cessation produce or device.

Electronic Cigarette Stores

Electronic cigarettes can’t be found as easily as traditional cigarettes. While convenience stores, gas stations and grocery stores continue to sell regular cigarettes, very few have carry this new wave of smoke and tar-free cigarettes.

Electric cigarettes, also referred to as e-cigarettes or personal vaporizers, taste and feel just like tobacco cigarettes, but they are combustion-less. Electric cigarettes can come in a variety of nicotine levels from 0-16mg, depending upon the manufacturer. Electric cigarette smokers will get all of the sensation of smoking a traditional cigarette minus many of the adverse health effects associated with regular smoking products.

An electric cigarette consists of an elongated tube that looks uncannily like a real cigarette or other smoking device. The electric cigarette may also be found in pen style that looks similar to a ball point pen.

Most electric cigarettes are reusable. Consumers can purchase the replaceable and refillable parts when needed. More recently, disposable electric cigarettes have been developed. These kinds of electric cigarettes offer the equivalence of smoking two packs of cigarettes.

There are two primary places where you can find electric cigarettes: bricks and mortar smoke or cigar shops or online. Exclusive electronic cigarette stores can for now, only be found on the Internet.

The advantage of online electronic cigarette stores is that like all online shopping, you can purchase a product at any time and from the convenience and privacy of your own home. In addition, online cigarette stores tend to offer a large variety of different styles and brands of electric cigarettes, giving you a greater selection of products to choose from. Plus, most online electronic cigarette stores feature in-depth product description, providing you with pertinent information to help you determine the best electric cigarette for your smoking and lifestyle needs.

If it’s an online cigarette store that allows for customers to write their own reviews and provide user feedback, you can learn a tremendous amount about a given electric cigarette based upon this firsthand experience. Some websites may even offer the opportunity for prospective customers to pose their own questions on a specific product. This kind of communication can address concerns and provide answers to key questions that affect whether you want to purchase a product.

In addition to the electric cigarette package itself, many stores offer the accompanying parts and embellishments, such as the cartridge, which is blank cartridge that can be filled with your favorite e-liquid, atomizers, batteries, portable charging cases and USB pass-through batteries. These specialized kinds of batteries are attached with a USB cable. You simply plug it in into a USB port in a PC or a video game console and you can use your electric cigarette all-day-long without ever needing to recharge it.

Electronic cigarette stores may also sell the e-liquids. E-Liquids offer an alternative to pre-filled cartridges and they are less costly. But keep in mind that you are then responsible for refilling the cartridge with the liquid. E-liquids come in a variety of flavors such as menthol, fruit or other flavors. Electronic cigarette stores that carry a strong inventory of product will oftentimes have a wide variety of flavors to choose from.

Before you purchase a electric cigarette package from an electronic cigarette store, whether it’s an actual humidor or online store, ask about their return or exchange policy. If you aren’t satisfied with the product, you need to know what kinds of terms they offer in allowing you to return the product and any money-back guarantees.

Mini Electronic Cigarettes

November 15th, 2010 No comments

A Mini Electronic Cigarette enables traditional smokers to enjoy a realistic smoking experience without all the adverse effects of traditional cigarettes. A mini electronic cigarette or mini e-cigarette is just like electric cigarettes except that it is smaller and more compact.

The appeal of mini electronic cigarettes has to do with health and cost-efficiency. Because of the recent increased cost of cigarettes, smokers who want to continue smoking are looking for a more financially sound way to continue their habit. Mini electronic cigarettes re-usability saves money but still offers the user the experience of smoking a cigarette. Some estimates have put the cost-savings of using electronic cigarettes at or near 80 percent savings than smoking traditional cigarettes.

In addition, mini electronic cigarettes are smoke and tar free. Since they are believed to not emit any carcinogenic substances, they are generally recognized safe for the user and those around them. Although there is some debate about the substances contained in them, the American Association of Public Health Physicians has come out in support of electronic cigarettes. The organization believes that the effects of second-hand smoke will be significantly decreased using electronic cigarettes.

Electronic cigarettes feature an authentic traditional cigarette look making it difficult to tell the difference between them. Mini electronic cigarettes can also be used as alternatives for other smoked tobacco products, like skinny cigars and small pipes.

An electric cigarette is comprised of three basic components: - a rechargeable battery, an atomizer, and a cartridge. The electronic cigarette vaporizes a unique liquid solution called “e-liquid.” The liquid is stored in the cartridge and is sold in varying nicotine strengths and flavors that mimic a traditional smoking experience. The contents of the e-liquid vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

When the smoker inhales from the mouthpiece of a mini electronic cigarette, a sensor is activated, which alerts the heating atomizer to heat up the e-liquid. The e-liquid then turns into a vapor that is inhaled. The inhaled vapor provides a similar taste and sensation just like those experienced in a traditional cigarette, pipe or cigar. The difference is that there is no smoke or combustion involved in the experience of using an electric cigarette.

When the user exhales the vapor, it looks and feels just like exhaling through a traditional cigarette. The vapor that is exhaled is odorless and smokeless. In addition, the cigarette is affixed with a small LED light at the bottom of the electric stick, which lights up upon inhalation, just like a the embers of a traditional cigarette.

Mini electronic cigarettes come in a variety of nicotine levels and flavors like traditional menthol to flavors like apple, strawberry, coffee or vanilla. They are generally found in kits that include the electronic cigarette, batteries, a cartridge, a charger, a power line and instruction manual.

Mini Electronic cigarettes are meant only for adults and should not be used by those under the age of 18. The mini electronic cigarette is not a quitting device nor is it meant to aid in smoking cessation. It is simply an alternative to using other smoking tobacco products.

The Electric Cigarette

November 9th, 2010 No comments

Electric cigarettes offer all the look and feel of smoking a traditional cigarette minus the negative health effects. The resemblance between a real cigarette and an electronic cigarette is so similar that oftentimes, it is hard to tell the difference between the two.

Even though smoking rates have been gradually decreasing among Americans in the past thirty years, smoking levels have steadily hovered around the 20 percent mark. In other words, one in five Americans continue to light up despite the warning cries from public health officials.

While the smoking rates haven’t budged much, smokers are looking for a healthier alternative to traditional cigarettes. The innovative creation of the electric cigarette has allowed smokers to enjoy the experience of smoking without dealing with many of the unhealthy consequences.

So what exactly is an electric cigarette?

Electric cigarettes (or e-cigarettes or personal vaporizer) taste and feel just like tobacco cigarettes, but they are smoke and tar free. Electric cigarettes can come in a variety of nicotine levels from 0-16mg, depending upon the manufacturer. Electric cigarette smokers will get all of the sensation of smoking a traditional cigarette minus the adverse health effects.

An electric cigarette is comprised of a battery-powered device that allows the user to inhale doses of a nicotine or non-nicotine vaporized solution. In addition to a cigarette alternative, it can also be used as a substitute for other smoked tobacco products like cigars and pipes.

The inhaled vapor provides a similar taste and sensation just like those experienced in a traditional cigarette, pipe or cigar. The difference is that there is no smoke or combustion involved in the experience of using an electric cigarette.

Water Vapor Cigarette

September 15th, 2010 Comments off

Water Vapor CigaretteA water vapor cigarette is a device that looks and feels similar to a traditional cigarette. The water vapor cigarette delivers water vapor infused with nicotine; this vapor looks and feels like real smoke – without the harmful side effects. There are many advantages to using this over real cigarettes and many people have made the switch to electronic cigarettes and never looked back. Some basic advantages to using the vapor cigarettes over a traditional ones include: saving time, money and the ability to freely smoke where you choose. Let’s take a deeper look into the advantages of using a water vapor cigarette instead of “the real thing.”

Smoking water vapor cigarettes can save you a ton of money in the long run. With cigarette prices on the rise you can end up paying thousands of dollars a year for your habit. In my town the cheapest cigarettes cost $6.35 at the supermarket. A pack a day smoker would spend $2,317.75 a year if they only purchased their cigarettes from this store. However, if they purchased their cigarette packs down the street where they cost $7.50 they would spend a whopping $2,737.50 a year – just on cigarettes! Smoking cigarettes comes at a great financial expense, and a decade of smoking can put you out for the cost of a new car.


According to Green Smoke you can use their water vapor cigarette for one year and smoke the equivalent of one pack a day and all of this will only cost you $548 (for the year) in cartridges. This means you could save $1,769.75 a year or more if you made the switch to water vapor cigarettes. Over the course of a decade you could save $17,697.50 or more as cigarette prices rise and you could buy yourself a new car!

Besides the financial turmoil of smoking convenience is a big issue as well. When you smoke traditional cigarettes you have to drive to the store, usually wait in a line, then buy a pack of cigarettes and drive home. Even if this only took you 15 minutes a day it would take up 91 hours of your time throughout the year. You would literally be wasting days of your life running to go get cigarettes. The same does not hold true when you use a water vapor cigarette. When using water vapor cigarettes you can purchase the cartridges or liquid online and have it shipped right to your house. This is much more convenient for the person with a busy lifestyle.

According to Wikipedia 44 of the top 60 most populated cities in the United States have enacted some form of smoking ban which covers all bars and restaurants. If you’re a smoker this is a real drag on your lifestyle. While many places have outlawed smoking cigarettes, you still have the ability to smoke a water vapor cigarette in most of these places (if not all). Using a water vapor cigarette can really make you more comfortable in a public place. Could you imagine going to a bar, having a few drinks with friends, and then not being able to smoke? However, if you had a water vapor cigarette you could legally use it in places where smoking bans occur. Furthermore, electronic cigarettes tend to spark curiosity in others and they are a great conversation starter. Since electronic cigarettes have not been out on the market for a long time many people don’t even know they exist. Having a water vapor cigarette is a great conversation piece. Plus you will be able to smoke where others can’t!

In conclusion smoking a water vapor cigarette over a traditional one just make sense. You can have the ability to be free, have more time to do the things you want, have more money to spend on yourself and feel better in general. Not to mention you will have a really cool conversation starter and possess a unique item amongst your peers.

Electronic Cigarettes Are The Future

August 14th, 2010 No comments

Electronic cigarettes or smokeless cigarettes are the new stop smoking device. A couple of decades ago the general public became aware of the dangers of smoking cigarettes. Since then millions of people have died from smoking related causes. Many have tried to quit smoking traditional cigarettes but found it extremely difficult. So a few companies came out with products such as nicotine patches and gum which have helped many people kick the habit. However, there are also lots of people who have used those products and have not quit, or they quit and went back to smoking. What if I told you there is a product that will help you quit smoking, and you will enjoy it! Perhaps enjoy it more than smoking regular cigarettes even! This product is of course electronic cigarettes.

Electronic cigarettes, (also known as e-cigs, e-cigarettes, and smokeless cigarettes) are a relatively new product which is designed to look, feel, and taste like a real cigarette. Even though it is designed this way you are not actually inhaling smoke but water vapor (fused with nicotine) instead! So you can smoke, without all the bad side effects. The electronic cigarette has a nicotine cartridge in it which contains liquid nicotine; when you take a hit off the electronic cigarette a very small battery powered atomizer will turn a tiny amount of the liquid nicotine into water vapor and that is what you inhale. There are LED lights at the end of many electronic cigarettes which will light up when you take a hit, indicating that the device is working and adding to the cigarette like smoking experience.

When you smoke traditional cigarettes you need to buy a “pack” and open it up and throw away the garbage, then inhale smoke and carcinogens and then throw away the butt of the cigarette. The whole process is very dirty, smelly, and many people find it repulsive. You don’t get any of that with an electronic cigarette. You get a “pack” that you keep forever, generally this will charge the battery in your electronic cigarette when your not using it. You can pull out your e-cig anywhere and use it, your not really “smoking” your just inhaling water vapor so it is completely legal everywhere. Instead of throwing away cigarette butts all day long and littering all over th planet you can simply change your cartridge out (about once per day depending on how much you smoke and which e-cigarette you have) and your ready to go again. The whole process is much cleaner, safer, better for the environment, and better for those around you (especially kids).

The cartridges that come with electronic cigarettes can be flavored and will vary in strengths. You can make your electronic cigarette feel like a real one, or you can make it more of a hookah feel and use cartridges that are flavored. Common flavors for electronic cigarette cartridges are: cherry, mint, menthol, orange, strawberry, apple, blueberry, vanilla, and more!

So electronic cigarettes are healthier than smoking traditional cigarettes. They are safer for the environment, and safer for those around you. You can smoke them anywhere (even on an airplane) and they won’t make your house or car smell. Lastly, I should note that they are also cheaper in the long run. You have to make an initial purchase of the electronic cigarette, but after that you only need to refill your cartridges which is much cheaper than buying an actual pack of cigarettes.
