E-Cigarettes Offer High Vapor Volume For A Real Smoking Alternative

By Mary Kay Rivers

The first e-cigarettes were more a novelty item than a real smoking alternative. Introduced in Europe in 2003, the e-cigarettes did not provide a realistic smoke yet even then there was great interest from the public in the fledgling product. Today, smokers are often surprised to find the best e-cigarette closely mimics the experience of the tobacco products they are accustomed to smoking.

Satisfaction for e-smokers depends on the volume of vapor produced by the product. It is this vapor inhaled by the e-smoker that determines if the e-cigarette will resemble the tobacco smoke it is meant to replace. The thin vapor of cheap e-cigarettes may not satisfy the need for nicotine while the best e-cigarette (s) such as Green Smoke are well known for the high volume of nicotine laced vapor they produce.

Ingesting nicotine is the reason for smoking tobacco - and for using e-cigarettes, too. That first hit of nicotine laced smoke in the back of the throat is a familiar feeling for smokers. The nicotine is quickly absorbed by the membranes and reaches the bloodstream satisfying the need for a nicotine hit. The best e-cigarettes deliver a dense vapor that provides e-smokers with that same throat hit of nicotine they are used to feeling when they light up.

The design of the best e-cigarette is quite similar to the look of the tobacco product it replaces. No longer do e-cigarettes have to be unbalanced due to heavy batteries at one end. New battery designs are lighter in weight and hold a charge longer. Some less expensive e-cigarettes today still are made in the same slick plastic, poorly weighted style that were sold several years ago.

Longer lasting batteries used today hold a charge longer and aren't nearly as heavy as those previously used. When the smokers draws a puff on the mouthpiece an LED light at the tip of the e-cig grows bright adding the appearance of a burning cigarette. However, unlike the product it's meant to replace, this "fire" won't burn a hole in your car seat if you drop the e-cigarette accidentally.

Thought e-cigarettes are available in a variety of flavors the taste is not identical to tobacco products. They are close, though, and allow the user to choose regular or menthol or from a variety of flavors like chocolate, mocha or even strawberry.

Another choice to be made when you buy e-cigarette (s) is the level of nicotine you prefer. Heavy smokers may choose the highest level of 16 mg and enjoy a nicotine strength equal to smoking non-filtered cigarettes.

If full flavored is your cigarette of choice, a good comparison is the 8 mg nicotine level for your e-cigarette. Those who smoke Light or Ultra Light tobacco products prefer the 6 mg or 4 mg strengths of nicotine. There are also refill cartridges available that provide flavor only with no nicotine whatever.

When it comes to pricing, electronic cigarettes and the tobacco brands have little in common. Increase in federal and state tobacco taxes may fill public coffers but has made smoking a high budget item. When you add the increase in wholesale prices by tobacco companies you hae cigarettes priced at $5-10 per pack. If you choose the best e-cigarette you will pay only about $2 for the equivalent of one pack of smokes. Not only do you experience a great smoking experience with e-cigarettes but you can reap significant savings and save your budget as well.
