Electric Cigarettes Offer “Smoking” Convenience Without a Lighter

Battery-powered electronic cigarettes are becoming more and more popular. These high-tech alternatives to traditional cigarettes aren’t restricted by many smoking bans since they work by atomizing liquid nicotine rather than by burning tobacco and chemicals. Smokers who are thinking of trying e-cigarettes have the choice of two different types of device.

Three-piece electronic cigarettes come with a cartridge, atomizer, and battery. The cartridge, which is like the filter on a traditional cigarette, holds liquid nicotine on a sponge. Often the user needs to add nicotine to the sponge on a regular basis, and this unit is usually made of plastic. Some devices require frequent replacement of the cartridge. The atomizer is usually a steel unit that fits inside the cartridge. The atomizer screws into the battery and is usually not replaced regularly, which can lead to clogging. The more clogged the atomizer becomes, the less “smoke” the user receives when he or she inhales. When atomizers do need to be replaced, it’s at a cost to the user.

Green Smoke offers a two-piece electric cigarette that simplifies the design, among other advantages. In the two-piece design, the cartridge and atomizer are part of a single unit, which eliminates clogging and produces a more realistic amount of vapor. Every cartridge refill means a fresh atomizer. There are also no sponges that need to be refilled with tiny eyedroppers. Green Smokers just screw in a cartridge and they’re ready to go, so it’s easy to refill anywhere.

David, a Green Smoke customer, wrote about his experience with an early four-part electronic cigarette: “I almost cried when I got it because almost no smoke came out. Then both of the atomizers broke in the same weekend. I was always checking the cotton and fluid, and the battery was horrible.” He tried Green Smoke at a testing station and was convinced. “Green Smoke might cost a little more,” he says, “but in the end, you will be 100% satisfied.”

Long-time Smokers Are Enjoying the Green Smoke Electric Cigarette

Green Smoke is becoming a popular alternative to expensive traditional cigarettes, to the relief of smokers everywhere. The two-part electric cigarette device delivers nicotine without smoke, scent, tobacco, or tar. Nicotine is delivered in the form of vapor, which looks and feels like smoking, but dissipates quickly and isn’t regulated by many indoor smoking bans. Green Smoke users have reported that they can use the device in restaurants, bars, and even at the office.

The company was founded in 2008 to develop a way to deliver the nicotine and the physical experience that smokers crave, but without the negative effects of the smell or second-hand smoke. Green Smoke was well received by users, who have been eager to give positive testimonials and endorse the product on e-cig message boards.

A long-time smoker named Tracy from North Carolina wrote that although the device felt a bit heavy, it had a “good solid feel, not bulky. Easy to use, charging is a breeze. It works as advertised,” she wrote. “For me, with will work and will be the only thing that has worked.”

Thousands of smokers have embraced the idea of being able to smoke anywhere. There is no flame, smoke, or combustion involved. Green Smoke is cheaper than traditional cigarettes, but it is the realistic feel and the ability to “light-up” wherever they please. After years of smoking bans, people are glad to have the tangible feeling of a post-meal smoke.

So many users have been so enthusiastic about the Green Smoke alternative that many have also joined the company’s affiliate program. This word-of-mouth advertising is among the best that marketers can find, and affiliates enjoy the instant enrollment, credit as soon as they sign up, a unique URL to track referrals, and a commission of up to 20 percent over the life of any customer they help sign up.

Sammy Capuano is the CEO of Green Smoke. “We’re proud to lead this revolution in smoking,” he says, “and with our affiliates’ help we can make a difference in people’s lives.” Green Smoke is available for purchase online, along with information about becoming a Green Smoke sales representative through the affiliate program.

Smoking Goes Green

Smokers who want an eco-friendly, more health-conscious alternative to traditional cigarettes are turning to electric cigarettes like those produced by Green Smoke. The Miami-based company says that the devices’ smoke-like vapor releases fewer chemicals into the atmosphere, and also keeps non-biodegradable filters out of landfills.

Each e-cigarette cartridge is the equivalent of about 20 regular cigarettes, or one pack. And Green Smoke’s two-piece device includes a rechargeable battery, which means fewer batteries leaching chemicals into landfills.

The American Cancer Society says that 46 million Americans still smoke cigarettes, or about 25 percent of adults. More than 440,000 die each year from smoking-related diseases. Green Smoke has seen great success since it launched, and helps users get away from offensive odors and unhealthy habits. Green Smoke gives users the nicotine buzz they crave, but without tar, tobacco, ash, carbon monoxide, toxins, or smelly smoke.

The unit consists of two parts, a cartridge that includes an atomizer and liquid nicotine, and a rechargeable battery unit. The two pieces just screw together, and the user can puff away. Each inhale activates a heating element that vaporizes water, nicotine, and flavors. The device looks and feels like a regular cigarette, but is safe to use indoors without the harm of secondhand smoke. The vapor dissipates quickly and leaves no lingering odor. Users won’t miss smelly hair, clothing, or breath. And there are no more ashtrays to clean or cigarette butts to sweep up.

Flavors range from tobacco and menthol, to chocolate, vanilla, and coffee. The liquid nicotine comes in different concentrations, too, so smokers can choose what matches their traditional cigarette brand of choice. Levels range from 4mg, or ultra light, to 16 mg, which compares to an unfiltered cigarette. The 16 mg concentration is similar to the nicotine found in Marlboro reds.

Despite the advantages touted by Green Smoke and other manufacturers, the FDA has tried to block e-cigarettes being imported from China because they consider them a drug delivery device, like nicotine gum and patches. As such, the FDA would be entitled to regulate them. Users insist that the devices have made differences in their health. One user from Michigan wrote online, “Cigarettes and tobacco kill people. Green Smoke is certainly safer than tobacco cigarettes. I have been Green Smoking for only one month and I already feel the difference in my breathing.”

E-cig Users Predict That 35% of Smokers Will Switch by 2010

Electronic cigarettes are the fastest growing new product on the market, and the new year brings a new option for users. The Smoke 51 electronic cigarette looks and feels like a traditional cigarette. Users put it to their mouth and inhale, which triggers a battery-operated cartridge. The cartridge contains liquid nicotine and flavors, which is atomized and produces a smoke-like vapor.

The Fifty-One is a two-part e-cig—just a rechargeable battery and a disposable cartridge. The cartridge includes the nicotine and the atomizer, unlike other devices that have reusable atomizers, which can get sticky and clogged. With the Fifty-One, every time users plug in a new unit, they’re using a new atomizer.

The Fifty-One was a best seller during the 2008 holiday season. Users cite the bad economy as a reason why the Fifty-One and devices like it have become so popular. A five-pack of nicotine cartridges delivers the same experience as 10 packs of cigarettes. The cost is $1.50 per “pack” of e-cig versus anywhere from $3.50 to $8 for traditional cigarettes. Online, e-cig users are making predictions about the product’s popularity—they estimate that 35% of smokers will have switched to electronic cigarettes by 2010.

Elaine R., an e-cig purchaser from St. Louis, Missouri, bought a starter kit for her boyfriend William. He loves it, and says “I don’t miss my smokes a bit, and Elaine doesn’t complain about the smell anymore.”

The Fifty-One has a microchip and sensor that activates when you inhale, eliminating the need for a lighter. It’s only “on” when users inhale, which means no cigarettes burning down in an ashtray. It also produces an amount of vapor that users say compares favorably to a traditional cigarette. One online commenter wrote, “The most vapor I have seen any e-cig produce. In fact, it’s the only e-cig that will allow a short drag like a real cigarette, and it’s a very satisfying e-smoking experience.”

E-cigarettes contain no tobacco, and none of the carcinogens of traditional cigarettes, but they do have aromatic flavors ranging from tobacco and menthol, to chocolate, vanilla, and coffee. Because there’s no smoke or tar, users don’t get stained teeth or fingers. And since it produces no smoke, it’s not restricted by many indoor smoking bans.
