Best Electronic Cigarette: How do you find the brand for you?
Posted by Tatiana Rodriguez | Filed under Uncategorized
Not everyone finds the prospect of trusting an e cigarette company enticing. For many smokers, any alternative sounds like a great idea, but for others the mention of electronic cigarettes only brings cynicism and mistrust. What is good about electronic cigarettes? And how can you find the best electronic cigarette for your tastes and your needs?
Here are a few tips to help you find the best electronic cigarette.
1. Take The Time to do The Research
It’s going to take some time to read up on the various forms of electronic cigarette available on the market. There are ecigarettes that look like tobacco cigarettes and there are ecigs that are as big as a ballpoint pen. There are a wide variety of flavors as well as different levels of nicotine, including nicotine-free versions. But most importantly, there are the opinions of many smokers who have gone before you and found the alternative that works for them.
Read vapor cigarette brand reviews. Check out what has worked for people who have quit smoking for good and find out what people think about the customer service at various companies. You’ll always find some mixed information, because it’s impossible for everyone to have a positive experience, but you will learn a lot. Even negative reviews can tell you a lot about different companies. In fact, it will be the negative reviews, and what the specific complaints are, that help you to get an idea of whether or not you want to order from one company or another.
2. Just Test Them Out
On the one hand, most ecigarette companies provide very similar products. Some people say you should just go for it and buy a starter kit from a company that has a good reputation for quick and helpful customer service. That way you will have the supplies you need and you’ll feel a little bit of a financial pressure to use what you’ve bought. You will also be free to not buy cigarettes for a while, which means you’ll get used to the ecigarettes and the habits of smoking them.
But on the other hand, most electronic cigarette companies offer disposable versions of their products. One disposable electronic cigarette is about the same as two or three packs of tobacco cigarettes and you can buy them for about $10 each. That’s a pretty good deal and it will give you a taste of what it’s like to smoke ecigs.
3. In The End, It’s About Personal Taste
Regardless of what anyone else says, finding the best electronic cigarette will be about finding what works for you. Most smokers who make the switch find that the first brand they try works find for them, unless they get a lot of faulty or defective products. On the other hand, there are some people who swear by certain brands for giving the most vapor for each drag. If you can read up on what other people think, then try a couple of brands for yourself, keeping in mind the customer service feedback the brands receive, you will be able to find the best electronic cigarette for you.

E-Cigarette Growth Predicted to Continue
Posted by Tatiana Rodriguez | Filed under E-Cig Industry Info
Everyone is weighing in on the future of electronic cigarettes. We’ve taken a look at the history of the e-cigarette in previous posts, and we continuously document all the big industry changes as they happen. That’s what we do here at VaporCigarette.com. A recent report took a closer look at the future growth of electronic cigarettes, which is as an industry in the USA, is barely five years old.
UBS Financial linked the meteoric rise of electronic cigarette smoking to that of the .com boom in the 1990′s. Growing by triple digits each year, the industry picks up new players each week it seems like. Everyone is vying for the almighty market share in the space, varying their price points, components, and doing all they can to be a little bit different in an effort to win support from potential consumers. While the industry is a competitive one, many people expect consolidation to occur over time. Larger brands will be acquired by Big Tobacco or other big business in an attempt to diversify their portfolio and grab a hold of a huge piece of an enormous customer base. Smaller brands may be folded into the offers of existing e-cigarette companies, and the industry will shape up to have a dynamic group of firms representing the majority of the market share.
It’s estimated that in 2011 the e-cigarette industry was a $250 million business. That’s a market that one association, called the TVECA (Tobacco Vapor Electronic Cigarette Association) predicts will once again double in 2012. (We’re still not sure why the organization uses the word “tobacco” in it’s name as there is not a hint of tobacco in these products.)
While the Internet always remains the best place for consumers to buy direct from e-cigarette brands, Wells Fargo points out the growth opportunity is clearly in retail. The amount of brands that exist in retail channels is small, but growing each day. Continued growth in retail channels such as gas stations, convenience stores, and tobacco shops is expected.
Here’s an excerpt from a report read online:
The Wells Fargo report noted that blu and NJOY appear to be “emerging as early market leaders.” Retailers told Wells Fargo that blu’s purchase by Lorillard, with its extensive sales force and legal experience, has given the brand (and the category overall) “credibility” and “legitimacy.”
It’s hard to argue with the retail presence of these two brands. Blu Cigs has a deal with Walgreens while NJOY is surfacing in many 7-Eleven’s in the USA. The two brands have a huge market share in retail locations even though they are not viewed as top products by many reviews we read online. Many Blu Cigs Customers have complained about the Customer Service and battery life.
NJOY’s website details that it’s available in over 10,000 locations in the USA, including Hess, Stripes, Sunoco, and Chevron, in addition to the aforementioned 7 – Eleven.
The future of e-cigarettes is certainly bright, and we look forward to covering the news as it happens right here at vaporcigarette.com.

Smoking….Killing YOU Softly
Posted by Tatiana Rodriguez | Filed under Smoking Side Effects
Is a Long, Slow Death What You Would Choose?
Nobody wants to die a slow death that involves pain, discomfort, trouble breathing, and treatments that involve awful side effects, which are sometimes worse than the symptoms of the disease. But the fact is that anyone who risks being a smoker is putting himself or herself at a very high risk of doing just that. Smoking increases your risk of heart disease, all kinds of cancer, stroke, throat and lung diseases, as well as a whole host of unattractive and uncomfortable minor problems.
Smokers produce a lot of phlegm, their skin gets really wrinkly, and they can’t breathe easily after even just a little bit of exercise. You also smell bad and lose your sense of smell, so you can’t even tell how bad you smell to non-smokers. Food doesn’t taste as good. There are all kinds of scary statistics on how smoking kills you, but what about the problems that won’t kill you?
Statistics on How Smoking Kills You
It turns out that most people who die of smoking-related diseases don’t just drop dead one day. Instead, they go through treatments like chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. They suffer from painful diseases like esophageal cancer, they can’t breathe and have trouble doing anything physical because of lung disease. Their lungs gargle and they wheeze often. The statistics on how smoking kills you are pretty harsh, and the worst part is that every smoking-related death is a preventable death.
The estimated number of annual deaths from smoking and tobacco use worldwide is 5 million people. In the United States, about half a million people die each year. And then there are the statistics on how smoking kills you even if you’re not a smoker. About 49,000 people die each year in the U.S. alone from diseases related to second hand smoke. In particular, they die of heart disease and lung cancer.
So What Do You Get if You’re a Lifetime Smoker and You Finally Quit?
The great news is that you should quit now. Even if you’ve been smoking for ten years, you can extend your life by quitting now. Not only will you live longer, but you’ll have a much lower chance of developing a deadly terminal illness. Even people who quit around the age of 50 reduce their chances of getting sick by half. If you quit around the age of 30, you’ll be 90% less likely to contract one of the disabling and painful diseases associated with tobacco use.
And if you find that quitting smoking methods aren’t working, try a substitute method. There are some great ways to get the same nicotine fix as you do with cigarettes, but without the tar and smoke and toxins that are carcinogenic. Nicotine patches, gums, and lozenges are pretty popular. Electronic cigarettes are popular, too, even though they’re not yet an approved method for quitting smoking. Electronic cigarettes give you nicotine infused in water vapor, which is a pretty good alternative when you consider the statistics on how smoking kills you and what your life could be like if you don’t switch or quit.

How Tar Affects Your Body and Health
Posted by Tatiana Rodriguez | Filed under Smoking Side Effects
There’s a lot of talk about tar and that it is something that should be avoided. Low tar cigarettes are advertised as a healthier alternative, and cigarette filters are specifically there to reduce the amount of tar that you breathe into your lungs when smoking. But the fact is that no matter how much or how little tar is filtered out, you will always be inhaling tar when you smoke. Tar is also known as tobacco smoke condensate; in other words, when tobacco smoke condenses, tar is the result.
Tar particles are gummy and toxic. They lodge themselves in your lungs, reducing your lungs’ ability to absorb oxygen into the blood stream. Your blood also picks up a lot of the toxins in tar and the immune system is constantly fighting to get the tar out of your body. Smoking gives your immune system a full-time job without any rest, which means that you are more likely to get sick and you are less prepared to fight off disease.
Diseases Resulting From or Exacerbated By Tar
By inhaling cigarette smoke and allowing tar to collect in your lungs, you increase the risk of contracting a number of serious and potentially deadly diseases. The most common results of smoking are bronchitis, emphysema, and lung cancer.
Bronchitis is the inflammation of the tissue lining the bronchial tubes, which are the airways that connect the lungs and the trachea. Every time you inhale, you breathe air through your bronchial tubes and into your lungs. Smoking brings toxic chemicals into your bronchial tubes and the tar that builds up irritates the sensitive tissue lining. The symptoms of bronchitis are a hacking, chesty cough and difficulty breathing. Chronic bronchitis is when the inflammation is continuous and results in excess mucus creation, and makes the likelihood of contracting pneumonia or other bacterial infections much higher.
The bronchial tubes split off into smaller airways called bronchioles. At the base of bronchioles are air sacs that inflate when you breath in; they are critical to the process of breathing. When the air sacs break down, it is called emphysema, and eventually this leads to an inability to transfer oxygen from your lungs into the blood stream. Emphysema can also be caused by a protein deficiency, but the leading cause is inhalation of smoke and the accumulation of tar and poisonous chemicals in the air sacs. Symptoms include a chronic cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, chest tightness, and difficulty performing physical activities.
Most people think of lung cancer when they think of how tar affects your body and health. Of the 69 known carcinogens in tobacco smoke, any and all of them can contribute to lung cancer. However, there is a direct correlation between the number of milligrams of tar you inhale to your risk of getting lung cancer.
Quit Smoking
The only way to avoid inhaling tar into your lungs is to stop smoking. As long as you inhale smoke into your lungs, you are introducing tar into delicate tissues that will become irritated, degrade, and break down over time as a result. Maybe it’s time to start reading about e-cigarettes.

Finding The Best Electronic Cigarette By Reading Reviews
Posted by Tatiana Rodriguez | Filed under E-Cigarette Reviews
Which e cigarette should I buy?
With so many choices and very little certainty among the e-cigarette smoking community, it can be hard to decide how to find the best electronic cigarette for you. From arguments about flavors to decisions about what type of e-cigarette fits your personal style, shopping for electronic cigarettes isn’t simple. But in the end, the more research you do, the more likely you’ll be happy with your choice. You may have to try more than one flavor or brand before you settle on the best, but in the end you will find what you want. It really depends what type of smoking category you fit into.
The Best Prices
One way that different brands seem to vary greatly is in the price of their products. You can get a similar starter kit for anywhere from $60 to $160, and the only way you might know the difference is because of the labels. Fortunately, this is one of the easiest things to determine about an electronic cigarette brand. You can easily do a little bit of research and find out what you get at what price from each company. You should also find out if they have disposable versions and how much those cost.
You can save yourself some money by testing out disposable e-cigarettes first. If you get a starter kit from one company and then decide you don’t like the product, you’re out quite a bit of cash. But if you get a disposable e-cigarette, you will only have spent about $10.
The Best Flavors
Smokers are always curious to know about the flavors of electronic cigarettes. When you are attached to your brand of tobacco cigarette, you wouldn’t think of switching brands. So choosing the best electronic cigarette is going to be even harder. Some people stay with tobacco flavors. Many companies make surprisingly realistically flavored tobacco versions, and it may make sense to start out with something more familiar.
However, as you go you may realize that smoking doesn’t have to be about tobacco anymore. You can start to think about what kind of flavors you’d enjoy most. Do you like coffee-flavored things? What about fruit flavors? There are electronic cigarette flavors that mimic some of the most popular hookah tobacco flavors, like cherry, melon, and apple. You can even find Coca-Cola flavored electronic cigarettes. So don’t be afraid that you won’t like ecigs just because they don’t taste like your old tobacco cigarettes. You may find that you like them better, and there are many benefits to smoking ecigarettes.
Making Your Choice
When people start out on the search for how to find the best electronic cigarettes, they often become stalled because they can’t make a decision. Just go for it. At some point, you’ll just have to try them out to know whether they will work for you. Test out some disposable versions and then go for it. If you’ve done some research and found a company with good customer service, you’ll be just fine.

Smoking Tobacco: Identifying the Carcinogens
Posted by Tatiana Rodriguez | Filed under Smoking Side Effects
For some people who have thought about quitting smoking, learning about the carcinogens found in tobacco products can help them finally make the decision to quit for good. Quitting is incredibly hard, even with some of the most tried and true quitting smoking methods. But the work is worth the benefits of quitting.
Known Carcinogens
Of the 7000 identifiable chemicals in tobacco, about 69 of them are known carcinogens. There are a number of suspected carcinogens as well as more than 250 harmful chemicals that we know cause other diseases and problems in the body. And cancer isn’t the only deadly disease that is caused or exacerbated by smoking cigarettes or using tobacco. These include heart disease, pulmonary disease, asthma, chronic bronchitis, aortic aneurysm, stroke, and pneumonia.
Some of the known carcinogens in tobacco include heavy metals like nickel, beryllium, cadmium, and chromium, toxic gases like 1,3-butadiene, and well-known poisons like arsenic, ethylene oxide, and benzene. In addition, some suspected carcinogens found in tobacco products include formaldehyde, benzoapyrene, and toluene.
Common Cancers Caused by Carcinogens Found in Tobacco Products
Most people think of lung cancer when they think of cancers caused by smoking tobacco, but it turns out that lung cancer is just one of many possible cancers you can be diagnosed with as a result of smoking. Esophageal cancer as well as cancer of the larynx, throat, and mouth are also common among tobacco users. Other common cancers caused by smoking include cancer of the pancreas, kidney, cervix, bladder, and stomach. However every single organ can be effected by smoking and tobacco use, and the health of the entire body and especially the immune system is negatively effected as well.
What About Nicotine?
Nicotine is the highly addictive substance found naturally in the tobacco plant. Tobacco leaves are poisonous to eat and nicotine is poisonous to consume in any form. However, nicotine is not known to be a carcinogen on its own. The major problem with nicotine is that it effects a smoker’s ability to quit, and therefore it turns the carcinogens found in tobacco products into an irresistible treat to people who are addicted to tobacco.
Nicotine products, such as nicotine gum, lozenges, patches, or electronic cigarettes, are used to help people to quit smoking because changing the delivery system of the nicotine can have beneficial effects. There are a number of benefits that can be seen immediately when you stop smoking, even if you continue to use a nicotine product. These include lowered levels of carbon monoxide in the blood within just a few hours, which means more oxygen will travel throughout the body. Within a few weeks, smokers will find their sense of smell improves as well as their ability to taste the food they eat.
Lung function and the ability to exercise and do other physical activity returns within a couple of months. While most people focus on the carcinogens found in tobacco products, there are many other reasons to quit smoking. Overall quality of life improves once you quit.
