@candiedmeats If you want something to satisfy your nicotine craving you're fine, but if you're expecting it to taste anything like a real cigarette it'll make you insane.
@TheDeathofGrace yes they have nicoten for every flavor china makes them they have coca cola,choclate,strawberry,vanilla,and a bunch of cool other ones
I definitely want to show any smoker I know about this. It helps them and it is better for those around him or her who don't want second hand smoke. You did a great job explaining them. I was not sure what these were until now.
@alonzo9772 Personally, yes I did. I immediately stopped smelling like an ashtray (and started noticing how much other people stink), I gained 15lbs because FOOD TASTES GOOD WOW! I stopped hacking up lungbutter every morning and my general energy level went through the roof.
Great upload. Do you think it would be possible to replace the battery with a tiny electric motor driven by a propeller spun by the user's inhale...or a better question...does anyone make a motor that small that could generate enough electricity to power the atomizer without the user having to inhale too unnaturally hard?
also, at 12:33 was anyone else thinking..."Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?"
Hey, thanks for this video. I recently bought an ecig and didn't like it, or rather I couldn't get the thing to smoke. Ive been trying to find some kind of video to maybe tell me what I was doing wrong. However thanks to yours, I now really enjoy mine. So keep up the good work. Thanks!!!
Yeah holy crap I should invest in getting an ecig. I'm 18 and I've been smoking for 3-4 years. I've heard about these but never really checked up on them. I'm diggin the volcano case where it has the screen but could someone tell me which brand is better? I want the small, cool, black ones but I also want a good battery and the screen on the pack. Any advice?
Listen to this man. i smoked 1-2 packs a day for 15 yrs, got one of these just with the hope that I would be able to replace some of my smoking with it. I really wasn't hung up on completely quitting. Haven't touched a real cig since for anything more than curiosity. Yeah, it's replacing one habit with another. The other is a much more healthy habit though.
What was your reasoning for the transition from the volcano to the Magma? Was the volcano not affective enough anymore? I would really prefer the volcano over the magma because of the better size, but does it make that much of a difference in terms of vapor production and nicotine content?
@j30345 The advantage to the Volcano is it's very small size (the same as a regular cigarette). The advantage to the Magma is it's much more powerful. Personally, I like the Magma better, but I own (and use) both on a regular basis.
@nathanomgnathan Personaly, I use both the Volcano Inferno and the Volcano Magma. carts last a decent amount. In my experience I would say about 2 or 3 regular cigs worth of puffs. But, there are other options out there. ie Drip Tips and Cartomizers. I love my drip tip and would 100% recommend them. As far as the "head buzzies" go, No. I use e-juice that has very low nicotine in it (6MG) and I do not experience them at all.
I had Blu Cigs, so the same thing. My only issue is that it was missing something. There was something either in the ritual, or the flavor, something that had me craving a real cigarette when I was smoking the e-cigarette.
Maybe it was because I was a heavy smoker then, I might try them again. God knows I want to quit. Honestly I just have the hardest time sticking to somthing. Even smoking hookah was a good replacement for a while but eventually I went back to a normal cigarette.
hey i wonder if u can make a switch replacing that pressure switch with a manual switch i want u to experiment with that and get back to me cause after watching this vid i jus wanna modify my battery but want u to ddo it b4 i do it..lol..
@rhddrifter86 A typical cart last me about 2-4 hours of intermittent use. I have never worn out an atomizer yet and I have 2 that have been going for 6 months of daily use.
Great video! It was cool to see what my e-cig looks like inside!
Great job targeting the younger smokers. CASAA's online survey showed that the average user (there are hundreds of thousands) is between 30-60 yrs old. The younger crowd seems uninterested - I tried to convert my 19 year old niece to no avail.
The FDA, legislators & public health groups are trying to get these safer decives banned, while leaving cigarettes legal?? You can help by signing the petition at EcigsSaveLives.info!
Perfect timing! The husband just bought one while I bought the gum. After this weekend, I've decided I need the ecig as well. One or two drags and I'm set versus the danged chew/park/chew/park don't drink thing.
As I mentioned previously, the FDA plus a lot of groups that have the word "health" in their mission statement want to get these products banned. They claim that the products are marketed to children to get them addicted to nicotine, serving as a gateway to smoking real cigarettes. Ridiculous? Absolutely, but that's what tzasame meant by "be careful". Try to make it clear that these are intended for smokers to use as a modified risk alternative.
i have been trying to quit the last couple of days and so far so good, i quit for about 4 year before starting back up about 3 three years ago. I originally quit because 10 years ago when i was 24 i was diagnosed with bladder cancer(caught it at stage one). I had 4 surgeries over 6 months to remove it. i thought about using a e-cig but i am just saying the hell with it and going cold turkey like i did the first time
I smoked for 45 years, tried multiple times, many ways to quit without success-- until electronic cigarettes came alone. I have been smoke-free since March 27, 2009. The wheezing that used to keep me awake is gone, as is the morning cough. Thanks for the look inside the works. Very interesting!
You know, of course, that the FDA is trying to get these products off the market. They want us to go back to using the products that didn't work for us before. There's a court case in progress
Thank you! I've used an e-cig since March 2009 after smoking for 30+ years. It's an amazing invention that's had a profoundly positive effect on my health.
Unfortunately, FDA & anti-smoking groups (e.g., American Lung Association) want e-cigs off the market unless they're regulated as an NRT. In effect, this means e-cigs will be banned for about a decade while clinical trials are done, then we'll likely see an inferior product from Pfizer.
@thegeekgroup it sorta looks like this bunch of 215 things ive got, would i be right in assumeing that you can make a crude bucky ball out of them XD? or like you said, we shall find out XD
@Bluetorchproductions if you didnt see the vid its buncky ball set (i dint know if its the same brand) a set of balls and poles that you use to make stuff like bowls and balls.
ps let me know if i got something wrong any one who sees this
Congratz! I was a 15 year minimum pack/day smoker and I quit the day my first kit arrived. Now I'm almost nine months smoke free. If you need more information on products or technical stuff, there are some great forums out there.They can be a great resource.
Be careful "speaking to kids." "For the Children" is one of the talking points of people who'd like to see these things banned.
@tzasame I don't care about the 50 year olds that are set in their ways. It's the college kids I'm trying to get to quit. These are my audience, and these are the people that are still young enough to change. I'm here to help people.
Hey, I'm 51 and I vape. I've gotten people in their 70's to switch to e-cigs. I understand the demographic aspect of your comment, but don't sell we 50+ folks short.
@thegeekgroup Dude that sounds like a market statistical comment rather than what age group you would rather help.
I'm 50 and just quit smoking (4 months now) after 30+ years and love my new e-cig, all the other stuff never helped me quit. I would ask not to delete this again and chalk it up dude, We need a lot more folks my age to quit, after all more in our age group are dying from analogs than younger...
Chris, thumbs up for this video. I myself switched to e-cigs July of last year, after smoking a pack and a half a day for 14 years. It's lame so many states and the FDA tried to demonize these things last year, but I feel healthier, it costs me a heck of a lot less, and I don't ever smell like cigarettes.
