Electronic Cigarette - Smoke Without Fire

e cig - Asked recently to create about electronic cigarettes, I must confess that I had never heard of such a thing. Some internet research later and I discovered that electronic cigarettes are very much a quickly growing concern. A Search revealed there is no smoke without fire as almost six million results just for the saying "electronic cigarette" were returned.

What is an electronic cigarette?

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

Now in the fourth generation, electronic 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 being the same as a conventional cigarette.

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

A battery, an atomiser along with a renewable nicotine chamber enables the smoker to hold and smoke the e-cigarette just as they would every other cigarette, even developing a "smoke" like vapour and glow by the end as they draw. The nicotine chamber proves very useful as cartridges are available in different strengths, permitting the consumer to reduce the amount of nicotine they intake until should they wish, can quit completely.

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

e liquid - A normal option altogether it appears, though the benefits don't end there. Because of the electronic cigarette not emitting any dangerous substances, toxins or real smoke for that matter, they are perfectly legal to smoke in public places. In winter in particular, normal people who smoke 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 benefit, as their worries about passive smoking are rendered null and void through the electronic cigarette. A much more sociable environment then!

Upon reflection the e-cigarette is a healthier, cheaper and eco-friendly alternative to smoking and because the awareness and the market grows they have great potential to successfully replace the harmful cigarettes most of us have come to know and lots of of us have come to dread and fear.
