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.

Discover the E Cigarette As A Stop Smoking Aid
This is your header – totlly against TS and MHRA requirements. as the electronic cigarettees have not been clinically trialled to prove that they can assist in smoking cessation. Please remove this, it is not doing our industry any good to give these people more ammuniation to use against us. You are leaving yourself open to considerable fines by making this claim.
Let me ask you a question. You promote the E Cigarette yourself and it seems from your site that you are recommending the e cig as a substitute for regular tobacco, is that right? What’s the difference from telling someone that they can use an e cigarette instead of smoking tobacco and telling them that an e cigarette to stop smoking? Its pure semantics! If you use an e cigarette instead of a cigarette then you have stopped smoking. By telling me to stop telling others that the electric cig is a stop smoking aid while you sell the products in your shop as a cigarette replacement is hypocrisy in my book.
What have the MHRA requirements got to do with the banner on my site? This is an American site about an American product which is hosted in the United States. The MHRA is a UK regulatory body.
I’m not sure what the TS is or what their requirements are, or what the penalties are for having the audacity to hint to that a product might be able to help people quit cigarettes before they deem that to be case. I’d be interested in having the information though if you could pass it on.
To keep you and “Big Brother” happy I have changed the subtitle of my site from “Discover the E Cigarette As A Stop Smoking Aid” to “Discover the E Cigarette And Stop Smoking Aids”. Who’s That For Yea?!
I tend to agree with Jean. Even those of who sell the electronic cigarette have to toe a very shadowy line. The Electronic Cigarette Association is the only organized lobby we have right now and they do not want these devices being marketed this way. Visit http://www.ecassoc.org/ for more information.
Instead of the headline you have, perhaps it should be “Discover a Healthier Way to Smoke” or “The freedom to Smoke Indoors.” State what makes them a healthier alternative or a more socially acceptable product in the body of the page.
One of the major arguments that governmental and quasi-governmental agencies have with the marketing of electronic cigarettes is that it is being marketed as a smoking cessation device without proof. That proof requires long term case studies which will never be available if Big Brother stops this revolutionary device in its tracks.
We all know people (I’m one of them) who tossed aside there conventional cigarettes for good in favor of the e-cigarette. The forums are loaded with examples of people who state this.
Put a sidebar somewhere with testimonials from customers who say that it helped them quit. You won’t be stating yourself that it is a smoking cessation device. You’ll let other people do it for you!
Hi Scotty
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
My major problem with what Jean said was that she has her own e cigarette shop on which it is stated that the e cigarette is a stop smoking device but that they weren’t all allowed to say so. To me there is no difference between saying “the e cigarette is a stop smoking aid but we aren’t allowed to say so” and saying “the e cigarette is a stop smoking aid”. Interestingly the wording on Jean’s site has been changed since she left that comment.
My point is that there is that when you use an e cigarette as a “healthier way to smoke” in place of a tobacco cigarette you have stopped smoking. I’m not interested in playing semantics with governmental and quasi-governmental agencies who dictate that i can say the same thing one way but can’t say it another. I perfer to call a spade a spade.
People, don’t get fooled by this “free” sample of e cigarettes, I did and I got my money back. They tell you it is free, then you pay 9.95 for shipping, and it took over a week so it wasn’t even express. Then, a week later they charge your credit card $90. This is just another damn internet scam.
Plus, this e cigarettes suck. They don’t taste or feel like real cigarettes, and, as a former smoker, I got this for my wife, tested it, and got a frigging headache, how the heck is this gonna help anyone get off cigarettes. Just another scam from the cigarette industry.
yes e cigarette is a good way to stop smoking, it can be said that e cigarette is a stop smoking aid because its better to have ecigarette rather then smoking tobacco cigarette. Ecigarette could be less harmless then tobacco cig
Why can’t e cigarettes be considered as a no-smoking aid. I tried the patch on several occassions and managed to quit for several months, but if it wasn’t for the therapy behind the patch I would have lasted maybe 2 weeks. Nicotine gum gives me heart burn and I missed the old feeling of having a cigarette in my hand, so I lasted maybe 2 weeks. Hypnosis did not work for me or any other scare tactics. So as far as I’m concerned this is a good alternative combined with another form of therapy and/or counseling. These are available through various groups in your neighborhood for free.
E Cigs in my opinion have definitely got to be safer than regular cigs.
I “smoke” ‘em and love them. I haven’t been back to regular analog cigs since I started vaping.

Good article. The e-cigarette is a great alternative because it allows smokers to have the “experience” of smoking a cigarette, but with less nicotine, no tar, and none of the smell and icky butts left over. Some people are using them to quit smoking but even if someone has no intention on quitting, it’s a much better alternative.
I am disappointed with the smoking everywhere brand of e-cigarette. I review the smoking everywhere ecigarette in detail on my website.
Hi Admin, thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment.
I agree with your comments concerning someone else’s site that is employing the “do as I say, not as I do” philosophy.
The latest ruling by Judge Leon seems to suggest that e-cigarettes will not come under FDA legislation as a drug/device combination provided that they are not marketed as a smoking cessation product. The Federal District Court judge had no problem with them being marketed to recreational users of tobacco products as a “healthier alternative” as long as no therapeutic claims were made. His preliminary ruling seems to suggest that the FDA will have to create an entire new set of rules that will regulate the tobacco industry as a whole if they are going to try to regulate the e-cigarette.
Even if they do that, they may not be able to regulate the device, itself, but rather only the e-liquid or pre-filled cartridges. Of course, if we are talking about the ones that contain no nicotine, they will never have a leg to stand on. To regulate the e-cigarette device, itself, they would then be forced to regulate pipes & rolling papers as well, which, in and of themselves, pose no harm at all. The FDA is fighting windmills here!
I agree with you, admin, that most of what I have read is all about semantics for the sake of keeping the product out of the FDA’s hands.
I have noticed that virtually all the companies now have a disclaimer like the one below at the bottom of their pages:
‘Warning: This product may contain nicotine which has been proven to be highly addictive. It is not a medical device and makes no claims to help a person quit smoking. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or mitigate any disease or condition. You must be over the legal age in your state to buy and/or use this product. Like cigarettes, it is not FDA approved.’
I’m seriously considering adding it to the bottom of all the pages on my blog to cover my own butt, just in case.
I think the electronic cigarette is one of the few products that IS better than its predecessor. Far better…Healther, Safer, Smoke Free, and no Chemicals. But thats just my two cents.
I love my electronic cigarette. I purchased it about 3 months ago from vaporking.org and have become completely free from tobacco. It satisfies my nicotine cravings and the physical addiction I have to actually smoking.
Hi admin,
I agree with you and with others as who are saying that E-cigarette is a good alternative or it helps us to stop smoking tobacco. Because its my personal experience, i was a regular smoker and i smoke Tobacco Cigarettes, when i heard about e-cigarette, i think i have to try it because its less harmful for me. Now i m using e-cigarettes from last 3 to 4 months i m quit satisfied with it. the brand which i m using is Jasper and Jasper, i haven’t find any problem in it, but if you guys think that their is any other much better brand is in the market then please suggest me that brand.
hey guys i totally agree that e-cigs are far better for you than normal cigarettes i have been using my gamucci micro now for around 2 months and havent looked back! does anyone else in here use the brand gamucci?
Governor Schwarzenegger was cool, not he has become adorable, lovable and more. He has ruled against the FDA point in the Bill which was to ban electronic cigs from the State.
Beyond any trace of a doubt, the Governor has taken the right decision. FDA and all those against electronic cigarettes are just trying to save their dough in the tobacco industry. Ecigs are better, deliver the same nicotine hit and using them, you can stop smoking almost immediately. Who would not want his city’s people to adopt a safer, healthier Alternative.

What about the costs, as compared to regular cigarettes? How do I find out if buying E-Cigarettes will save me money in the long run? Plus – do most users say that the vapor is just as satisfying as cigarette smoke? Thanks for answering my questions.
Actually I just want to use this forum to sing the praises of e-cigarettes. One of the things I always disliked about smoking, which I have done since teenaged years like so many of us, was the nasty odor the smoke always left on clothing, breath, etc. That is, to me, a significant advance that vap-ing makes possible. No smoke, no smoke odor.
Another quality I find appealing is that there IS the actual feel of smoking, and inhaling smoke, although it’s simpple water vapor. My own smoking habit, it turns out, is less physical than it is ritual. I have always had a cigarette at certain times, not exactly designated but surely consistent. After long, boring meetings, with friends over drinks or coffee, at stressful moments, etc.
Above all, of course, is the idea that I can continue with my long-established ritual, which was always branded “dirty” and “unhealthy,” and actually not be overly concerned with health risks. Of course I could still get hit by a bus while vap-ing!
But if I can couple these benefits with a true knowledge that I am actually saving $$, and not behaving in a way that’s offensive to so many people, then I can truly assert that e-cigarettes are an asset to my daily life. How often is it that we can believe that about a new product – short of the new IPhone, that is.
I second your opinion on Green Smoke – they are definitely one of the, if not THE, best e-cigs on the market. There are a lot of other good ones, too — have you tried any others or are you solely a Green Smoke user?
Hi Donny,
Yeah the green smoke is definitely one of the best if you are looking for vapor production. I’ve tried a load of different e cigs, and have actually just written a short review of some of them. You can find it on the front page of the blog.
Thanks for visiting
As a retail merchant of electronic cigarettes, I get asked every day if they will help the person quit. Even though statistically that answer is a huge resounding “YES”, my answer is that even people who have no desire to quit smoking tobacco soon find that they prefer the electronic cigarettes and the tobacco use ceases on it’s own.
That isn’t playing semantics. The fact is that although quite a few people come to buy them to quit smoking, I have just as many who come to buy them to use in conjunction with cigarettes and they come back and tell me they haven’t wanted tobacco.
For those who didn’t have good electronic cigarette experiences, keep in mind there are many different models and flavors on the market. Not all e-cigs are the same. I went through several models and juice vendors to find what worked for me because I was a VERY heavy smoker and the little mini ecigs just couldn’t keep up.
No e-cig is going to taste exactly like a burnt cigarette..because they aren’t burnt, but there are many vendors who sell eliquid that comes pretty close. I’ve found that most people didn’t smoke because of the flavor in the first place. Once you get past that, just find a flavor you do enjoy and then it’s magic.
The e-cigarette produces a cloud of nicotine carrying vapor with none of the toxic by products of burning tobacco. It is the burning of the tobacco that releases thousands of toxic substances. Research has been done to show that nicotine is no more harmful than caffeine. Key here, is everything in moderation. The electronic cigarette in my opinion is one of the greatest products invented. I smoked for decades and thanks to the internet found a local e-cig company (VaporConcepts)that I purchased from and slowly did away with the terrible addiction I had to tobacco cigarettes. I am proud to tell people I am a e cig fan. Thanks for the article!
E cigarettes are just like any other electronic product. Some are simply manufactured better than others.
I absolutely agree on what had you written here in the blog comments, most people cant stop their smoking habits so this e-cigarette is the best option for them. They can gradually decrease their smoking and in no time it will be no hard for them to quit smoking.
I started e-cigs May 6 2011 – after some 32 years approx of smoking the analogues..I have found it to be quite thought provoking really..where you think about what your actually doing way more than I ever did having a puff!The change has been brilliant as I have not returned to my Winfield Golds at all – and in my mind I may give it all up or I may just stay e-cig happy – but it’s has importantlystopped the weeze at night when I’m set to sleep -I feel like I can breath more and with interest I will watch this wacky world go about the politics of tearing it down.Good luck as I will ‘vape’ as I listen.on ya e-cigs.CD
Hey CD,
That’s awesome to hear that you’ve managed to stop smoking cigarettes after 32 years of puffing away
I’ve noticed a big difference in my breathing as well since I switched over from analogues. I think the fact you are inhaling smoke with tobacco is as bad for you as any of the other poisonous chemicals that’s in it, so vapor is obviously going to do a lot less damage to the heart and lungs.
Are you in Australia CD? What brand of e cig are you using over there?
