Introduction
E 3 Cigs E-Cigarette is a
Washington-based company pioneering in electronic smoking products. They are
offering a tar-free alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes and currently
offering a groundbreaking electronic smoking device. You can step down
gradually with their product and have fun doing it with over 20 different
flavors to choose from.
E 3 Cigs E-Cigarette is non-flammable and uses a state-of-the-art
sophisticated micro-electronics device that gives users the feeling they get
when they smoke a real cigarette.
The management of E 3 Cigs
E-Cigarette wants to create a smoke-free environment by offering an option for
smokers to "smoke" nicotine without the fire, flame, tobacco, tar,
carbon monoxide, ash, stub, smell and all the other chemicals found in
traditional cigarettes.
The battery is lithium ion and is recharged via a USB
charging device that comes in the box.
The atomizer is the "special sauce" and must be
treated with care.
The atomized cartridge is disposable.
What I Learned
This is true "vaporware". Vapor
is created and is inhaled. The LED at the end in fact does act like real ash
that lights when inhaling and fades out when the person stops inhaling. Real
"smoke" is exhaled – but it is vapor created by the atomizer
and not nasty, toxic cigarette smoke. Gary Hall has sources for the liquids
(going to 25 flavors) that do not contain propylene glycol. Each cartridge is
good for 400 puffs before refilling and recharging via a USB charger. There is
a no-nicotine cartridge available.
The devices are manufactured in China.
I don't smoke. I live what we call the "Word of Wisdom", a health code that has been around since the early 1800's. One of
the challenges has always been that for folks to become members of my
particular religious organization, they had to give some things up – like
smoking. For many, it was too much of a sacrifice and sadly, they could not do
it. Well, now a product has made that process just a little more easier –
the electronic cigarette.
We believe also in avoiding even the appearance of evil
and face it, smoking is really evil! But what if a process were in place that
did the look and feel of smoking without the debilitating consequences? Folks
have joked for years about a "silver bullet" for smokers. I think
this comes very, very close.
I lived with my step-grandfather, who was a chain-smoker.
His smoking helped my grandmother die sooner with the combined complications of
both diabetes and emphysema. She made the mistake of allowing him to smoke
inside her house. Putting wet towels under my bedroom door didn't help much in
keeping my clothes from getting nicotine stained and filled with the smell of
burnt tobacco. I abhorred the situation, while going to college. If this
product had been around then, perhaps my grandmother would not have died so
miserably.
If you still smoke, perhaps this too will help you quit and
you won't have to suffer from the most preventable leading cause of death today
– health complications caused from smoking.
Conclusion
What makes this "green", is the fact that those
who still smoke now have a choice that acts and feels like smoking - but doesn’t pollute the air the rest
of us enjoy breathing. Thousands have tried this product and testify that it
helped them quit smoking. Why not give it a try? You don't need to give all of
your money to government in sin tax do you?
