What else should I be aware of when using an electronic cigarette?

Just like with many over the counter products, whicle the manufacturer considers them  safe,  there are undoubtedly of scenarios in which the product should not be used.

Just like with real cigarettes, don’t use it to the point of nausea! Duh!

Of course, it’s for adults, and not for non smokers or children. Pregnant women, women breast feeding, or persons with or at risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or taking medicine for depression or asthma should also take great care at what they suck into their lings.

How do I refill devices and cartridges?

They all have different options, but the latest method is even cheaper, allowing you to buy little squirt bottles of nicotine juice, and then saturating your own cartridge.

I haven’t tried that yet, but intend to soon. For now, I just buy the refill cartridges from the device vendor, which pop right into the end of the electric smoking device.

That’s easy and fast, allowing you to change to a new cartridge in about 10 seconds.

Are there any maintenance issues for electronic cigarettes, and if there are,  what might they be?

They’re very easy to use, and in general, the only maintenance required is to charge and replace the batteries as needed

Of course,, you also have to insert fresh cartridges or use some sort of refill liquid, but that’s it!

It’s recommended to keep the electric devices away from water – duh – and occasionally on some older models, you might need to reset the microelectronics in a device, by inserting the end of a paperclip into a reset hole on the side and holding for about 3 seconds.

Electronic cigarettes are more affordable than regular smoking. If you were to average one pack a day, at an average cost of just $6 per pack, the electronic version will begin saving you money on about your 25th day of using the product.
(*note – now that they start at $59, it’s even sooner)

If you have a lower cost on smokes in your state, it may take a bit longer, but many areas are nearing $8 a pack now, so this is conservative.

Electric Cigarettes have never been proven to be a cessation device and they are not sold or marketed as one.

They are simply an alternative to regular smoking that offers you a reduced health risk, and the freedom to smoke where you want.

But with no second hand smoke, and being nearly completely odor-free, this non-flammable and convenient alternative just might cause you to be able to cut down on your regular smoking. It even has a lower cost than traditional smoking, which is another benefit.

Most people who smoke do so because they enjoy the tactile, emotional & physical sensation. Electric cigarettes provide all those same pleasures, but do so without all of the problems that are commonly associated with “regular smoking.

The leading reasons people would choose electronic cigarettes over regular ones, include:

• A reduced health risk
• The freedom to smoke anywhere
• Social inclusion versus isolation
• There is no first or second hand smoke
• It’s virtually odorless
• It’s non-flammable, convenient
• Has a lower cost than traditional smoking

Of course not. Electric cigarettes and any nicotine products are intended for use only by adults. Beyond that, use your common sense.

No one that is under the legal smoking age in your state should ever use them, and the manufacturer is not to be sold to persons under the legal smoking age in your state.

Additionally, any nicotine delivery devices should not be used by anyone that is pregnant or has other health concerns without first consulting the advice of a physician.

Technically yes you can. Since they are non-flammable and contain no tobacco, it’s really not smoking and use is not prohibited by law.

Many customers have used the product in restaurants, on airplanes, at work and in other places where traditional smoking is banned, and it will NOT set off smoke detectors either.

Still, don’t be surprised when people ask you about the device. Remember, to the casual observer, using an electric cigarette doesn’t really look any different than traditional smoking.

Many people report that simply explaining to others how the electronic cigarette works will usually create acceptance for them using the product anywhere.

Most users will say that the flavor closely replicates cigarettes and cigars, but the odor is barely noticeable. This is completely unlike traditional cigars and cigarettes, which create lingering, smells in rooms, cars and clothing.

The cartridges come in a variety of flavors, including regular and menthol. These devices offer a way to smoke in places where smoking has been banned, or simply discouraged by friends and family, such as in cars or at home.

The starter kit comes with two batteries, so you can have one recharging while using the. The first time you charge your battery, you should do it for at least 2 hours.  The average battery will hold its charge for about a week.

The indicator light on the tip will dim gradually, which indicates a loss of the battery’s charge. After the first charge, the battery will recharge to its full capacity in about 1-2 hours.
