I was browsing some website and I came across this article
Clicky

They say it has a similar effect as cigarettes but doesn't the effect come from the tobacco in the cigarette and the other chemicals?

It's just not the same...

i tried blucigs for a few weeks. really hurt my throat, and i found myself constantly smoking them. relieves some of the tension but i still wanted to smoke normal cigs, which i ended up doing. they give a refund up to 30 days that i didnt have any major issues with, but it is a hassle.

wow nice thread. full of details..

My friend actually used this and ended up quitting smoking cigs altogether because of the use. Sorry i don't know much more about ecigs themselves.

What I'm curious about is why nobody seems to have created a cigarette which has nicotine but none of the other harsh chemicals that cause death... Surely there's good money to be made around that idea... Yet we see nothing. Does anybody know much about this?
Oh no

hahah i was talking to my friend and he's like "i didn;t get it because what if it kills you in 5 years or something, there isn't enough research"

So i said "Dude what if it causes lung cancer?"

lolol

i guess nothing is like the real cancer stick

The harsh chemicals that cause death are carcinogens, produced by burning the stuff. If you use a vaporizer, you're not burning stuff.
And its not tobacco that gives you the effect.. its the nicotine inside.

Ecigarettes are filled with "e-juice" that's made from propylene glycol and laced with nicotine. Smoking that stuff is probably just as harmful as a real cigarette, but doesn't even give you the same sensation. I don't know because I've never tried, but I wouldn't say that it's safe.

Burning Tobacco has this effect, it's unavoidable really. As the guy above me said, a vaporizer removes this problem.

Propylene Glycol has a very very low toxicity when ingested orally...and you're not even ingesting it so much as breathing vapors from it.

It's not the healthiest thing you could do but it's far better than tobacco smoke.

Well I almost bought an e-cigar from e-bay, cause after some modifications it can produce nice smoke puffs for close-up magic tricks.
Then I heard that all the brands are made in China and every second one you order gets broken fast, so I didn't go for it in the end.
And all is illuminated.

I saw those blucigs before, I wouldn't mind trying them to see what it's like. I'm not going to though, I don't want to get sucked back into smoking, haha.

I like them. Gosu coffee flavor. Really, the best flavor -_-;;
Getting flavor packet shiz is a chore. Going to mall everytime to buy pack.
Ridiculous.
I havent smoked a cig in over a month now.
So strong.
Now I just have to keep it up... forever?!?!
Discouraging.

reminds me of the autotune the news where the politician was talking about smoking lettuce


starts at 0:52

Here's a riddle for you: what looks like a cigarette, smells like a cigarette, tastes like a cigarette, and feels like a cigarette?


How can it smell and taste like a cigarette if it produces vapor instead of smoke?

Propylene Glycol is also used in deodorants.

I just thought I should put that out there.

Natural American Spirit. They taste awful but are additive-free (or so they claim). They are also ridiculously expensive.


I'm not sure what you mean about harsh chemicals that cause death though. The smoke in and of itself is pretty bad.

my brother had one of these when he was trying to quit and he just smoked it constantly while inside and smoked real cigs when he was outside which kind of defeats the purpose

Terrible things that i wasted £50 on. Far to weak, both in thickness (can barely feel them, lack of tar i guess) and in nicotine content, taste wierd, are to hard and take to much effort to drag. Might help you quit but nothing like the real thing.

Maybe i just bought a poor one, or maybe the'll get better with time. Not getting another one for a while though.
