electronic smokes

Anyone else switched over to these? I got my second device on Thursday, an eGo-T B-Type. It's a three part device, 1000mAh battery, b-type (non-tapered cylinder) atomizer and 2.5ml tank/mouthpiece.

It works great, after you fiddle with it and learn how to tweak the tank to deliver the amount of liquid you like. I currently use 18mg/ml nicotine solution.

My sleep is no longer disturbed by coughing or strange breathing. I am breathing and feel far better than I did this time last week.

If you are thinking about getting one, be sure to get a tank type device. Those cartridge (polyfilled) devices are far inferior. I have one of those and it was a nothing more than a waste of money.

I'll update this on how long the initial battery and atomizer last.

 

Well basically you need a battery, atomizer, tank and a bottle of the solution. If you smoke a pack or more a day I suggest a 3 to 6volt 1000mAh battery or larger.

There are lots of styles, but after my experience with the cigarette styles, I would avoid them. They are weak and die quickly under heavy use. That is why manufactures like Blu usually sell you a starter kit with three batteries in it. But Blu and most of the similar types all use a polyfilled cartridge that dries out within 2 hours. Tank style is the only way to go IMO.



This is the eGo batteries. The smaller pic is a passthrough type. It is a manual, meaning you have to press the button to activate it. They also require a 4 hour charge after you get them, but you have to wait for them to die first. Then you have to make use the do not overcharge on the first full 4-hour. After that initial charge, they should only require a 2-3 hour charge every 2-3 days even with heavy use. They are lithium-ion batteries and cannot be charged overnight. I would also get a passthrough version. This allows use while charging, but not during the initial 4hr charge.


This is the type-B atomizer, a straight cylinder that holds a 2.5ml tank. They Type-A is tapered and holds a smaller 1.7ml tank. Once a week (I do it everytime I refill the tank) you have to blow it out. Takes about 3 minutes of blowing to clear it, but it will allow it to last much longer. After you clear it it has to be primed by placing a drop or two of solution on the atomizer. When you first get them they have an unflavored PG solution in them. Blow that out, then prime it and pop the tank in.



These are the tanks. the clear plastic cap on the opposite ends are discarded before use. There is a smaller cap under that, pop it off, fill up the tank, and push it into the atomizer. You may notice how the sides are squared off. This is an alignment aid, as the atomizer plate has a similar shape. Match them up push the tank in give it a 1/4 turn (either direction) and hit the button.

*whew*

 

Well is has been a week on this thing. I am done with cigs. For me this was a good thing, well spent money.

I feel much better, have far more stamina, and my singing voice has vastly improved...

 

The disposable ones are garbage. I use the one in the long post above.

 

DAGNABIT!!!!

When the tank on the ezGo-t gets to less than 15%, IT LEAKS!!! Air Pressure differential...

That is SO FAR the ONLY negative about this...


YES YOU HAVE WITHDRAWALS FROM THE OTHER GARBAGE IN SMOKES, but I suggest switching ot American Spirit or American Native (Cheap version of AS) B4 getting a VS/ES (VaporSmoker/ElectricSmoke)

No other problems so far other than withdrawals that come from not smoking at all, but the nicotine cushions the symptoms.

YOU WILL EXPERIENCE WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS TO A FAR LESSER DEGREE WITH THIS ITEM.

But it truly will show you what you are addicted too. For those who know, tobacco is just like marijuana, it lets you leave it alone. It is the other crap the corporations put into the mix that you are addicted to NOT THE NICOTINE!!!!

I was using a 36% solution(36ml/ml) in a 50-50% vegetable glycerine and propylene glycol solution. (A VERY big hit). I am down to 18%(18mg).

If you want to quit smoking PLEASE try these. NOT THE DISPOSABLE!!!! THEY MUST BE TANK TYPE ECIGS!!!! Disposable types will DISAPPOINT YOU!!! The cartomizers or cartridges THAT CONTAIN POLYFILL OR ANOTHER ABSORPTION MEDIUM WILL DRY OUT WITHIN 4 HOURS!
