VidER Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hi guys, I have just seen this ad on facebook: http://www.cigarti.com/ It is supposed to be an alternative to smoking. It has nicotine but no tar or smoke. I thought that its a new idea but I found that many other companies make them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_cigarette So have you heard about it before? Have you tried it? Is it really an alternative to smoking? VidER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qdave Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 this one looks pretty cool: http://www.blucigs.com/howitworks.php its probably better than real cigs, but still useless in the end :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
»X« Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I had one, paid ?40+ for it I think, maybe more. It was like a ciggy but larger, looked the same and indeed it did produce "smoke" which was vapour. However it was pretty useless, it was heavy as hell with the large built in battery, so holding it like a regular ciggy was impossible. It also didn't give you the "kick" you needed unless you really inhaled, and finally I had to replace both chargers on mine because they kept breaking. I sent it back in the end.

Izlude Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 ATOMIZER ATOMIZER!!!!!!!! I'm sorry.. but I seriously could not stop laughing at that. It reminded me so much of this song...

zupport Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 i've ever test once. Prefer the real one. For the smoker,I think it's useless. It gives nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notuptome2004 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 i've ever test once. Prefer the real one. For the smoker,I think it's useless. It gives nothing yes it gives you all the benefits of smoking but without the risk on your health also bragging right cause you can walk in to any place that is apart of the no smoking ban law and smoke this cause it is not part of the nno smoking ban law since it has no harmful chemicals or or anything of that kind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceminess Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Yeah I was thinking about starting but its kinda expensive to switch to electronic, I'm not sure if I can get use to the electronic version. I buddy at work smokes the electronic cigs. He says it is just as satisfying as a real cigarette. I always see him smoking at his desk. The first day he started smoking them our boss thought it was a real cig. and was going to send him home! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucryster Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Anyone else have exp with these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucryster Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Well I recieved my order today, and have been trying them out. I got mine for smokingeverywhere.com. After using it for most the day and tonight, I find it actually does a great job of what its supposed to do. I have no problems with lose connections or anything. Yeah ya have to inhale a little harder (not as much as if ya were hitting a jay), and yeah its heavier then a smoke, but not enough that its uncomfortable to hold. The thing that takes getting used to is feeling it going into your lungs. Without the tars and what have you, its extremely smoother, to the point ya almost dont know that your getting the inhale of it, if ya know what I mean. I will defintely be switching to this, and dropping the regular smokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucryster Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Is smoking used to be injurious to health after using these? Well, your still getting the nicotine, but all the carcinogens are gone. So yeah, its not nearly as bad for ya. And you can choose how much of the nic ya get in the cartriges, anything from 0 to 16mgs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majortom1981 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Arent they trying to ban these in the US ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olemus Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) I would argue that breathing anything except natural air is bad for you and would avoid these, also whilst nicotine is not harmful to your body, its certainly not good for it either (think caffeine)and the refills for these things will be harmful to your wallet. I quit smoking cold turkey about 6 months ago and would never look back, the first 2 weeks are like you died and went to the coldest darkest pit of hell but its all good after that. I found that taking up an exercise regime whilst quitting helped as it gave me an insight into the benifits stopping smoking was having, when I first quit I could only run for about 40-60seconds before my breathing ground me to a halt, now im able to run for a good 15-20 minutes and enjoying very second of it. Arent they trying to ban these in the US ? They certainly are, the concern is that this will entice none smokers to start using nicotine which could eventually lead to them grabbing whatever nicotine fix they can, grabbing packs of smokes being the most convinient and this is where the issue lies.

Lucryster Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Oh dear god, since you quit, we all should, since your soo much better then the rest of us. Stop freakin going after my rights. Freakin liberals, its ok as long as they do it, if they decide they dont want to do it, no one should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
