The three main components of an e-Smoking device are...

• Battery
• Atomizer
• e-Liquid Filter/Cartridge

But HOW does this thing work?

The battery sends power to the atomizer which powers up a heating element within the atomizer which in turn vaporizes the e-Liquid found in the filter. The vapor created is what the e-Smoker inhales and exhales. This new concept provides the effect of smoking with...

…and has quickly spread throughout the world, growing rapidly in popularity, and recently brought to public attention by celebrities, with mall kiosks, on TV news, and, in late August, a 30-second commercial on CNN.

Why is an e-cig is better than an analog tobacco cigarette?


1. First and foremost (to me) is the enjoyment, e.g.: it tastes better ... there is so much choice and variety ... and it’s a gadget (“boys and their toys”). I never really wanted to quit smoking – I enjoyed it (nothing like I’ve come to enjoy vaping, however).

2. I am not a medical doctor (nor do I play one on TV), so I’m in no position to make any medical claims. I just know that I feel better about vaping than I did about smoking. Investigate relevant information and decide for yourself.

3. It is cheaper; it may turn out to be half the cost of your analog smoking.

4. Although it is a habit, it is not “a filthy habit.”


5. You can vape (not everywhere, but) in many more places and circumstancesthan you can smoke.

• I stopped smoking inside my home several years ago, because it was staining the walls and carpets. I’ve now been able to come back inside to vape (a real advantage during inclement weather or when it is stinking hot or freezing cold outside).

• Many people vape at work, either because their employer and coworkers don’t care or because it’s fairly easy to stealth vape (either when no one is looking and/or by holding in the vapor longer so that nothing visible is exhaled).

• Some restaurants, bars and pubs permit vaping. [When in doubt, ask ... and be prepared to explain what the heck you are talking about. I usually refer to it as my personal vaporizer rather than an electronic cigarette. There is some virulent anti-smoking sentiment out there. The most common sentiment about vaping is...ignorance; and that can be corrected.]

• During a recent plane trip, I was able to vape (not on the plane, although some vapers have)…

…but in the airports. I did it fairly openly, but discretely. Actually, from a police officer at one of the airports, I had requested and received permission (once I assured him that there was no burning tobacco). His only caveat: “Unless people around you complain.”

• And you can even vape here...
