Save Money With An Electronic Cigarette
71If the only benefit you consider when contemplating whether to switch from regular cigarettes to the new electronic cigarettes is the savings you could enjoy then this may just surprise you.
Electronic cigarettes also known as E-cigarettes are quickly becoming the new way to get the nicotine without all the tar and carcinogens. The benefits considerably outweigh the cons. Myself, I have a pink e-cigarette. My pink e-cigarette cost $70 when I purchased it at a vendor booth at a fair from the NicotineGreen local Seattle brand of Electronic Cigarettes, They are one of the few resources for the Pink Electronic Cigarette. But I was sold on the idea so quickly, and I don't regret the purchase one bit.
The Savings With E-Cigarettes
The amount of money you can save by smoking Electronic cigarettes instead of regular smokes is astounding. You intially purchase a starter pack that contains your electronic cigarette atomizer, usually also coming with 2 batteries, a charger, and a few extra nicotine cartridges (these are what contain the nicotine). The starter packs generally run for $60 to $130 online, or even more if bought at a kiosk in a local mall. You can pay much less if you purchase through Ebay. Then your only additional costs are just extra atomized cartridges in your preferred flavor and level of nicotine.
These nicotine cartridges generally come about 5 in a pack depending on the brand, and each cartidge lasts about the same as smoking 10 to 20 ciggerates. The price for these ranges from $5 to $8. So, instead of spending $40 to $60 per carton of 10 packs depending on your state, you could actually be spending $10 to $16 per carton's worth. Go To the Electronic Smoking Savings Calculator to see how many dollars you could save per year by switching.

The other benefits of Electronic Smoking
- Because they are just a vaporizer, you can enjoy an e-cigarette anywhere
- You are not inhaling all the tar and carcinogens that cause lung cancer and other diseases.
- There is no smell. Honest. There is a flavor in the mouth on inhale(I'm using a vanilla mild nicotine cartridge right now and it is pleasant). But there is no smell to the vapor that is released. No smell on the clothes, no smelling fingertips, no bad breath from smoking.
- Its an electronic metal device, there is no yellow fingers from the end.
- No smoke means no secondhand smoke. You can use them around your family without worrying.
- You inhale only as much as you need to satisfy your nicotine craving, meaning you can actually use less and make your cartridge last more, unlike with cigarettes where your brain thinks it needs to finish the whole thing.
- Because your not inhaling a bunch of junk, you don't feel the need to clear your throat of all the junk build up in the morning regular smoking causes.
What Is It Really Like To Use A Electronic Cigarette?
What do you like about your traditional cigarettes? Is it the sucking on inhale? The hit of nicotine to the back of your throat? the warmth and flavor in your mouth? The hand to mouth fixation?The exhale of smoke?
Electronic cigarettes provide all these, except that the exhale is just water vapor instead of smoke. The only downfall for me using the electronic cigarette, is that its a bit heavier then a normal cigarette, and the method to use it isn't quite the same. It's held more like a cigar then a traditional smoke.
Everything else is quite similar. You mind and body will feel satsified because the electronic cigarette mimics the way you smoke a traditional cigarette. I tested myself with my own pink electronic cigarette. I used my e-cig all day and then having a regular smoke late at night. The feeling I had been getting all day from just inhaling my nicotine vaporizer was the same as the feeling I got from my real camel light.

Electronic Smoking Comments
Very interesting. thanks, i just may consider this. good hub
Cool...I hadn't heard of these....thanks! :)
Jim, thanks for the comment. I can understand it is probably a bit odd for people to be seeing these sold in malls, but its actually going to become much more popular for local brands to set up kiosks.
Electronic cigarettes are intended for those 18 and older only and because they are not a smoking device, they are a vaporizer it is legal for them to be smoked anywhere.I have a feeling you may start seeing these in more and more public places.
They are not hamful in the way normal cigarettes are to the human body, but they do still contain the legal drug, nicotine. Education for your children that nicotine is still and addicitive drug is important. I am a parent, because there is no second hand smoke, I use my electronic cigarette in the house where with regular smokes I was always outside. I've had to talk to my daughter and tell her it is not a toy, that it is mommy's adult thing and that she is not to touch it.
C.C. Riter and Tom, thanks for the comments. =)
Waohh, someone has thought up a money making invention that I bet will take off. It would be good if they made them so one could ween themselves off cigarettes all together. What is in the vapour though. Vapour, just because you cannot smell it doesn't mean it is not also harmful. Just could be in a different way. Look into what the ingredients of the vapour are, if you care about yourself and for those around you that is. They didn't mind making toxic cigarettes that have become very unpopular and, as you say, not allowed to be smoked in public in many places. These new money saving ones may be as or more toxic than the real thing. May not find out for another 10, 20, 30 years.
Jennifer thank you for your comments. the nicotine cartridges use tobacco extract flavors, liquid nicotine, and Propylene glycol to create the vapor. Propylene glycol is a colorless, odorless liquid which is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 21 CFR § 184.1666, for use as a direct food additive under the conditions prescribed. It is approved by the U.S. FDA for certain indirect food additive uses.

The electronic cigarettes seem great. But, I was really disturbed when I was walking through my local mall with my kids and their was a stand with some guy smoking an e cigarette and trying to sell them. Selling them online and in tobacco stores is one thing. But advertising them at the mall is just a bad influence.
