As promised, here’s a very quick rundown of the best e cigarette products I’ve tried over the last 12 months. Maybe it will help choose a good one from all the retailers who are out there at the moment.

Green Smoke – This is a company that’s been around for a long time in e cigarette terms and they have a reputation for two specific things:

1. High Cost
2. Insane Vapor Production

Both these things are true. There are certainly brands out there that will give you a starter kit at a lower cost, and with more accessories. There aren’t however many companies who offer an e cig which will produce such huge plumes of smoke when you exhale. If you put simple vaping experience before all else then you will love this one. If you are looking for best value and loads of accessories then you might be better served with something else.

V2 e cigarettes are a company which hasn’t been around as long as Green Smoke, but they are quickly becoming just as popular with smokers. They have above average vapor, great tasting carts in lots of cool flavors, and a load of funky accessories to keep you happy. The real bonus here is the price, you can pick up an e cig starter with 2 batteries, a variety of charger, portable charging pack, a nice USB cigarette, and 5 carts for about $100. A great choice for someone just getting started with electronic cigarettes.

South Beach e cigs are another popular brand. They have an interesting pricing structure which allows you to get a good deal on your starter kit if you sign up to a monthly home deliver scheme. This allows you to get up and running for just $50 for a good quality cig which has great vapor and a satisfying throat hit. The refill carts for this device are more expensive than other brands so you will have to factor that into your decision making process.

Blu cigs are a massive brand thanks to a great marketing campaign, a nice website, and competitive pricing. There cigs are cool black color with a distinctive blu light on the tip which glows when you take a draw. They don’t have the vapor production on the Green Smoke, or the lovely taste of the V2 but they are worth a look none the less.

White Cloud have been called the Rolls Royce of e cigarettes by a lot of people thanks to their exceedingly high initial purchase cost and the quality of their products. They have awesome tasting carts which consider to be the most realistic of all the brands available. The espresso flavor ones in particular are truly great. If you have money to burn then you might fancy stumping up the $240 required for the Cirrus II starter kit.

I hope this electronic cigarette review gave you an idea about which brands you should consider buying. If I try any cigs in the future which I think are worthy of your consideration then I’ll update this information to keep it up to date. Remember, sometimes it’s worth spending a little extra in the beginning to get a great quality starter kit which will last you for years. All of the products mentioned above come with a warranty which is good for at least 6 months.

Looking at my traffic stats for the web site the other day I realized I’m still getting a lot of people visiting looking to get information on a variety of electronic cigarette topics so I thought it was about time that I started to provide some high quality content once again. With that in mind I’ve decided I’m going to try utmost to keep the blog up to date in th future. I’m not promising to post every day, but hopefully I’ll manage to get something interesting or useful up once a week or so.

I’ll start with a quick post of electronic cigarette reviews which will give you a little information about the brands I think are currently the best on the market. I’m not going to write much about each brand I have tried, but just a few pointers so that you don’t feel completely lost when you are deciding to buy. Look forward to see that e cigarette review post in a couple of days when I get it completed. After that we’ll hopefully have some interesting e cig news to discuss.

In the meantime here’s a youtube video for you to watch.

An awesome introduction to the E Cigarette by a guy called Chris at the Geekgroup:

Well, I thought it was only a matter of time before big tobacco came up with a product which would compete with the e cigarette. When consumers can purchase a product which is cheaper, healthier, and more affordable than tobacco you can be sure the companies who knowingly manufactured and sold a deadly product for decades would want in one the action. So British American Tobacco have bought the rights allowing them to sell a product which is supposedly going to be the first safe cigarette, evidently the electronic cigarette independent companies are seeing these days don’t count.

This “Safe” cigarette is neither a traditional tobacco smoke or a regular electronic cigarette, but seems to be some sort of hybrid. Industry spokesmen claim that it’s going to be much more satisfying than the e cigarette but will a lower health risk than tobacco.

David O’Reilly, a spokesman for BAT, said “There is political support for this. In our view, e-cigarettes do not work. People should be able to use nicotine, but in the safest possible way.” To be honest, reading that statement made me want to find the man and punch him on the nose…haha

“People should be able to use nicotine, but in the safest possible way.”….really? A company that has knowing sold death laced with one of the most addictive drugs known to man for generations now thinks that we all have a right to a safe nicotine inhalation? Only if there is a colossal amount of money in it for them I guess.

Do you think the only reason this product is even being considered is because electronic cigarettes are becoming more popular every day? These companies probably see a future where people in the west no longer need to use their death sticks thanks to the every increasing quality of the e cigs available. They never seemed desperate to introduce a safe way to get nicotine when they didn’t have any real competition on the market. After all, we all know how ineffective regular nicotine replacement therapy is. I’m not sure I’ve ever met someone who has successfully used them to stop smoking cigarettes over the long term. E Cigarettes on the other hand are a completely different kettle of fish and look to have potential in allowing those addicted to nicotine to cut out the burning tobacco leaf.

The product they are hoping to have on the market in a couple of years was developed by a company called Kind Consumer in the UK and uses an aerosol to deliver nicotine to the consumer. With the money the tobacco companies have available to them there is a real chance they will be able to get this cigarette regulated. If that happens, and it does indeed turn out to be safe, will that be the beginning of the end for the electronic cigarette?

I have to admit that I’m quite intrigued by the idea of this new nicotine delivery product, but I’m disgusted that it’s going to be another money making vehicle for the companies that have been knowingly killing us since the 1950′s. I’m loathed to give them any more of my cash, and hopefully by the time it reaches the market e cigarettes will be so good that I won’t be interested in it anyway.

How do I quit smoking by reading a book?

The Easy Way To Stop Smoking goes into great detail describing why me smoke tobacco products in the first place and makes you realise that the only reason you smoke is because you are addicted. Sound easy? Well it really is and I’ve spoken to many people who have used this technique to free themselves from nicotine addiction permanently by reading this.

The beauty of The Easy Way To Stop Smoking is that it allows to to continue to smoke cigarettes as you read the book so there is no need to worry about the nicotine withdrawal symptoms until you decide if this technique is right for you.

How do i quit smoking easily?

The easy way to stop smoking uses psychotherapy techniques to provide a solution to your cigarette addiction that works in exactly the opposite way to traditional stop smoking methods. Traditionally we concentrate on the reasons why we shouldn’t smoke when we are trying to stop while with this method discusses why we continue to smoke when you already know all the negatives associated with our habit.

How do i quit smoking without withdrawal symptoms?

The physical withdrawal symptoms we all worry about when considering giving up cigarettes actually play a very small part in keeping us addicted. Its the belief that we are being deprived of the “pleasure” of smoking which makes you usual attempts to quit smoking so torturous. When you get to the bottom of the reasons for the addiction and realize that we are actually giving up anything the physical withdrawal symptoms become negligible. It actually becomes enjoyable to experience the nicotine leaving our body and giving us the freedom we dream of.

Of course there are other ways to stop that other people find helpful, the same method doesn’t work for us all. Maybe you would prefer to quit smoking with detox or perhaps hypnosis but in my opinion the best thing to do the next time someone asks you “how do I quit smoking?” is to point them in the direction of Allen Carr’s excellent book.

Well we knew it was bound to happen eventually and it seems as if the news many have been dreading is on the horizon. Nothing is even nearly settled at the moment but it seems that there have been talks going on between Phillip Morris and the Ruyan E Cigarette Company.

After a couple of years of the major players in the tobacco and pharmaceutical industry doing all they can to beat the electronic cigarette to death they know want a piece of the pie.

Arthur Schopenhauer once said that “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” We’re coming to the stage where the e cigarette is going to be accepted and promoted by the tobacco industry as the obvious way for all smokers to get their nicotine fix. All the arguments about e cigarette safety will be quickly forgotten in the rush to make as much money as possible.

A couple of years ago when the electric cigarette was introduced to the market it was pretty much ignored by the tobacco companies. They sat back and let small niche companies build up a market for the product and when the device started to become popular they, along with the FDA and the nicotine replacement therapy manufacturers, went to lengths to make sure everyone knew how the product had never been tested and could be dangerous.

Of course those of us who have used the E Cigarette have always known that it was a product ahead of its time which was going to gain main stream approval. If big tobacco does get involved in this then it has its good and bad points.

The good:

1. The cash they will be willing to spend on research and development will mean big advances in the technology which will mean a better vaping experience for us all.
2. Their huge financial clout will ensure that required lobbying and research will take place which get the FDA and all other “health authorities” off our backs.

The bad:

1. Big tobacco will waltz in with their huge cash resources and take most or all of the business off the E Cig companies who have done all the hard work building this product from nothing.
2. The companies who have been lying to and literally killing us for the last 150 years with their deadly products will continue to take our hard earned cash.

I don’t know about you but I much rather give my money to a small e cigarette company that a multinational corporation who are quite happy to kill for money.

At this point no agreement has been reached between the Ruyan Group and Philip Morris but its only a matter of time before the tobacco companies claim their slice of this potentially very lucrative pie.

I’ll keep you posted on how this story develops as I get more information.

I’m not sure if people visit this blog to read about the latest e cigarette news or if you are searching Google looking to buy e cigarettes but since there seems to be so many e cig retailers out there I though it might be a good idea for me to recommend what I believe to be the best product on the market.

The problem most of us have is that we don’t know anyone personally who uses an electric cigarette so it can be hard to get the information we need about what devices are good and which are nothing but junk. There are so many places that re brand Chinese imports and try to pass them off as their own high quality e cigs that its easy to get stuck with a substandard example. My major problem with this is that many of you will buy something Online that doesn’t meet your expectations and you’ll think all e cigarettes are the same and forget about trying to use one to help you stop smoking. This would be a great shame, as for me this is the best product available to help you stop smoking tobacco. Even if you only substitute your nicotine addiction with the e cig rather than quit altogether.

The electric cigs that appear cheap on the website may end up being more expensive due to all the replacement atomizers and batteries you need to buy. And simple things like leaky nicotine cartridges and batteries that don’t hold their charge may be enough to drive you back to smoking analogues before you have given the concept a chance.

Yes, its better to spend a little extra and get the quality right off the bat. In my humble opinion that means picking up a green smoke e cigarette. This is an American company that has a commitment to quality and a product that beats the competition hands down. I won’t go into all the reasons why I recommend this product in particular, you can visit their website to find out for yourself.

The main reason I believe they are better due to the integrated atomizer and nicotine cartridge which means every time you stick a new cart on your device you are getting an new atomizer at the same time. This ensures the quality of the “smoking” experience is as good 6 months down the line as the day you receive your e cigarette in the post.

Its true that green smoke electric cigarette are a bit more expensive than the competition but the difference in quality is unmistakable from the moment you take it out the box. If you are interested in buying then have a look at their website and if you use the green smoke promo code disc10-2338 you’ll get an extra 10% off your purchase.

If this article helps steer a few people towards the green smoke and away from the cheap nasty alternatives then it will have been worth the time it has taken to write it.

Read my updated electronic cigarette review post to get information about some of the newer brands on the market which might be worth taking a look at.

I read an outstanding article about the FDA’s quarrel with e cigarette manufacturers the other day and thought I would post it so visitors to this page could find it as its somewhat hidden from the view of most e cig smokers.

You can find the article on this blog about interesting news, entertainment and television. Unfortunately I can link to the specific article so you are going to have to search down the page until you find the one called “Recent Studies Indicate That the FDA May Contain Trace Elements of Bos Taurus Egesta”

If you haven’t heard, the FDA issued a quite incredible news release warning the poor unsuspecting public about the menace and danger posed to the health of America buy a wicked invention called electronic cigarettes. You can read the news release HERE, if you are interested in such things.

The FDA state that they discovered carcinogens in certain e cig samples such as diethylene glycol, an ingredient used in antifreeze. The conveniently forgot to mention that Diethylene glycol is also used in toothpaste, mouthwash, cough syrup, wine and plenty of other consumer products that fill our shelves. Don’t hold your breath waiting for an FDA warning regarding the dangers of mouthwash to be appearing on an Internet page near you anytime soon.

Nitrosamines were another potential carcinogen they found in the sample and yet again this chemical is found in many products including beer, bacon, fish, pickles, some meats and cheeses. Its found in e cigarettes because the nicotine used is extracted from tobacco but you can be sure that the numbers are not something you should be worried about if you are using this device to stop poisoning your body with burning tobacco products. And if you think using an e cigarette if comparable to smoking in regards to the danger it poses to your health then you can keep your cigarettes.

There was no mention of the fact that these very same chemicals are found in FDA approved nicotine replacement therapy…interesting! As with most things with these agencies you only have to follow the money trail to see where the motivation for their vacuous words is coming from. The FDA is financed by big pharma and anything that threatens to take some of their millions will be shot down.

People are wakening up to the reality of the FDA’s bias and I think many will take this news with the pinch of salt it deserves. Artificial sweeteners, a proven neurotoxin, are approved, no worries there. But try and invent a product that can save the live of millions by helping them stop smoking and the FDA and its financiers are going to want to get their cut. It all about the money!

As they say, there is not such thing as bad publicity so maybe we will see electronic cigarettes rise in popularity due to the idiot ramblings of this retarded organization.

Edit :: Here is a direct link to the article about the Electronic Cigarette and the FDA.

The last post I made about the research regarding the possibility that nicotine replacement therapy might cause cancer or make it worse seemed to have brewed up a bit of a storm. I put the article up as I like to show both sides of the story in regards to these devices, nicotine is not a health product after all and its highly addictive properties mean that we would all do well to remove it from our lives if at all possible. How detrimental it is to our health may be open to some argument but at the end of the day we’re better of without in in our body for our physical and mental well being. If you don’t agree with that then there’s probably nothing I can say to change your mind.

I think the electronic cigarette is a great stop smoking aid and definitely the best nicotine replacement therapy available on the market but should we really be treating them as a long term substitute for smoking or a stepping stone to a drug free existence? I used the e cigarette along with the “easy way to stop smoking” book by Allen Carr to rid myself of nicotine and wholeheartedly recommend them to any smoker who wants to quit. But, my belief is that our aim should be to work on becoming nicotine free as possible.

Don’t get me wrong, swapping tobacco for vaporized nicotine is going to do wonders for your health if you are a long term smoker but cutting out nicotine entirely should be the next step.

What I have discovered is that a life that doesn’t revolve around a drug addiction is a happier, more content life. What’s natural about having a constant urge to supply your body with a chemical, whether natural or man made, at regular intervals throughout the day? To me there is something wrong with finding yourself on this amazing planet and being horrified that you have run out of nicotine, but this is the predicament smokers find themselves whenever they find their supplies diminishing. Cut out the addiction and you’ll be surprised how simple things become far more enjoyable and you’ll probably find that you become a more productive human being.

I know that many people who are still smoking or vaping are going to have a fit when they read this but I’m not writing with the intent of pissing people off, I just want convince as many people as possible that they can live a life without nicotine and the first step in doing so is realizing that whatever you think it adds to your life is an illusion.

There’s no doubt in my mind that E Cigarettes are miles ahead of tobacco products as a way to deliver nicotine to the system in terms of their effect on your health but is your aim to find a healthier way to be a drug addict or to free yourself from the shackles of addiction for good?

My advice is to get a hold of the “Easy way to stop smoking” book and an E cigarette if you need it as a way to get off the smokes. In time wean yourself off nicotine altogether and you’ll find life to be an altogether more enjoyable experience.

Not really sure what they mean when they say you are ‘up to’ 4 times more likely to stop though, and when did they start calling nicotine replacement therapies ’stop smoking medicine’? I don’t know, maybe they’re just so excited about the opportunity to stop people smoking that they get a bit carried away with themselves.

You know I’m a bit skeptical about the drug companies in general but I wonder how hard the pharmaceutical companies push the NHS to flog their products to the public extra hard. And calling nicotine replacement therapy a medicine seems like an outright lie. I mean if a medicine is a substance used to treat a disease or illness then I guess nicotine addiction is now a disease. Sounds to me as if someone is trying to gloss over the fact that these ’stop smoking medicines’ do exactly the same thing as the cigarette you are trying to give up, that is deliver nicotine into your bloodstream.

Still, I guess if the NHS really achieves its aim of increasing peoples chances to stop smoking then its worth giving it a shot if you’re in the UK and having trouble giving up the weed. Just try and do it without the aid of the ’stop smoking medicines, the drug companies have enough money and you can stop without their help.

A new study out of the University of London, has found that a genetic mutation which can cause mouth cancer can be worsened by the nicotine levels found in stop smoking products. Its too early to tell if smokers should be worried about the risk from these products but we can be sure that the cancer risk will still be much lower for a nicotine gum user when to compared to someone who continues to smoke cigarettes.

Its hard to say exactly what this means for those of use who use the E Cigarette as a nicotine replacement therapy. After reading the article my stance is pretty much as it has always, E Cigarettes are probably not the healthiest product on the market and should not be seen as a long term replacement for tobacco cigarettes. At the same time, using an E Cigarette for a few months as a stepping stone to becoming nicotine free is infinitely preferable to continuing to smoke and is currently the best way to quit smoking we have.

You might say that its easy to find a successful Stop Smoking Aid on the market, but which of them really offers a genuinely high chance of helping you stop. My guess is that the majority of people who manage to use most current NRT products would have been able to stop with or without their use. If you think about it, all they do is keep you addicted to nicotine without giving you the comfort of the physically smoking. That’s what sets the e cig apart from nicotine patches and gums and why its far more successful in helping us stop even if we continue to be addicted to this product instead.

No matter how bad they might tell vaping is in the media, there is no way you are going to convince the majority of the public that they even approach the dangers we are all to aware of in tobacco products.

The rest of the stop smoking industry isn’t really worth discussing either in my humble opinion. Quit Smoking Hypnosis has never worked for anyone I’ve talked to about it. Some feel after their session that they are free from their nicotine addiction but they all seem to end up back on the cigarettes a few months later. Most of the stop smoking books at your local bookshop and support groups are just as ineffective.

The only exception to the rule would be Allan Carr’s “Easy Way To Stop Smoking” technique which undoubtedly works for many smokers but there will always be those who are unwilling to take the effort to attend a course of read his book and for those people the e cigarette is the perfect option.
