Electronic Cigarette - Smoke Without Fire

e cig - Asked recently to write about electronic cigarettes, I must confess that I had never heard of such a thing. Some investigation later and I found that electronic cigarettes are very much a quickly growing concern. A Internet search revealed there is no smoke without fire as almost 6 000 0000 results just for the phrase "electronic cigarette" were returned.

What exactly is an electronic cigarette?

Mod Box - The electronic cigarette has been in existence for almost 3 years and is a clever device aimed at providing smokers using a healthier option. Apparently also useful in helping to reduce and indeed give up smoking altogether.

Now inside a fourth generation, e cigarettes have become much more user friendly than earlier versions which perhaps were a tad too large to encourage a mass market appeal. The "mini" is regarded as the realistic e cigarette up to now with its length of 100mm to be the same as a conventional cigarette.

An e-cigarette contains a taste of tobacco but none of them of the harmful substances present in normal cigarettes allowing smokers cravings to be satisfied without inhaling the countless dangerous toxins. Is it all smoke and mirrors? Or can this item be the saviour it desires to be?

A battery, an atomiser and a renewable nicotine chamber permits the smoker to hold and smoke the electronic cigarette just as they would any other cigarette, even making a "smoke" like vapour and glow at the end as they draw. The nicotine chamber proves very helpful as cartridges can be purchased in different strengths, permitting the user to reduce the amount of nicotine they intake until when they wish, can quit completely.

A nicotine cartridge typically lasts the same time frame as 15 to 20 cigarettes, thus making a huge saving to normalcy costs. Standard, medium, low with no nicotine at all would be the various cartridge strengths.

e liquid - A normal option altogether it seems, though the benefits don't end there. As a result of electronic cigarette not emitting any dangerous substances, toxins or real smoke for example, they are perfectly legal to smoke in public. In winter in particular, normal cigarette smokers have to brave the freezing cold as well as the rain just for a quick smoking break however this alternative will allow them to stay in their offices, restaurants and pubs.

None smokers will also benefit, as their worries about passive smoking are rendered null and void from the electronic cigarette. A much more sociable environment then!

Upon reflection the electronic cigarette is a healthier, cheaper and eco-friendly alternative to smoking and as the awareness and the market grows they have great potential to successfully switch the harmful cigarettes we have all come to know and lots of of us have come to dread and fear.
