Electronic Cigarettes
Electronic cigarettes are non-tobacco products that provide the experience of smoking without the tar, odor, and harmful smoke of traditional cigarettes. Instead of tobacco, they contain flavored liquid, available with or without nicotine. the liquid is usually made from a mix of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine, and sometimes known as juice. The juice is heated into vapor by a battery-powered atomizer. The "smoke" that the user inhales is thus not smoke, but vapor, similar to what is produced by fog machines.

What is an electronic cigarette?
Electronic cigarettes are making it possible for people to lay off of the traditional tobacco cigarettes rather easily. People who have been smoking for years say the change is relatively seamless. This is because the electronic cigarettes are designed to look and feel just like a traditional cigarette, but doesn't contain all of the harmful chemicals inside of it.
An electronic cigarette (e-cig) is a battery-operated device that vaporizes a nicotine-laced liquid solution with a small heater. E-cigs look and "smoke" like tobacco cigarettes, but require no fire/lighter, produce no smoke or ash, last much longer (~25 tobacco cigs), and can cost much less (about half price) than tobacco cigs.
The liquid used in e-cigs is generally considered safe, although nicotine is addictive. In it's most basic recipe, e-liquid contains only water, propylene glycol (an FDA-approved food ingredient), nicotine and flavoring. Liquid is also available without nicotine, and comes in a variety of flavors and strengths.
E-cigs come in two basic types: 1) disposable and 2) rechargeable. Disposable units are sold ready-to-use immediately out of the pack, but cannot be recharged once consumed. Rechargeable units are more economical in the long-term, because the batteries can be recharged and the nicotine cartridges can be replaced, which cost much less than an equivalent cigarette (about half price).
In addition to the cost benefits, e-cigs are less harmful to one's health, since they do not contain tar, carbon monoxide, or the more than 400 other harmful ingredients found in tobacco.
What kind of battery is in an electronic cigarette?
There are multiple battery sizes for electronic cigarettes. The batteries are measured in milliamps hour (mAh). Most batteries come in sizes 650 mAh, 900 mAh, 950 mAh, 1000-1200 mAh. The higher the mAh, the longer the battery will last after being fully charged. Therefore, if you have a larger mAh battery, you will be able to get a greater puff amount before having to recharge the battery.

You can create your individual e-liquid effortlessly to save money and to have you distinct unique taste. Here are things and tips you need to include in your do-it-yourself e-liquid.
Things Needed in Making E-Liquid
1: E-Liquid Base
Some of the e-liquid bases you can use in creating your own e-liquid include: propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin or PG400. You require having a food grade propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin. The e-liquid base is the component that makes the noticeable smoke or fog on the e-cigarette. As a matter of fact, this is the component in smoke machine liquid that creates the smoke.
2: Distilled Water
Purified potable water is OK; other types of water, like tap water contains lots of elements, thus making it unhealthy for your lung vaporization.
3: E-Liquid Flavorings
You require having a food grade, elevated temperature resistance and water soluble flavorings. Additional flavorings which contain merely room temperature resistance and includes either oil or sugars might not be appropriate for smoking in a an individual vaporizer.
4: Not Obligatory Stabilizers
The optional stabilizers might involve e-liquid nicotine, herbs, or whatever stabilizers for tobacco and herbal recipes.
Procedure in Making Your Own E-Liquid
Procedure 1: Blending
You can place approximately 10-20 percent of the flavor strength in your e-liquid base depending on the e-liquid base, nicotine strength, and your own individual flavoring strength.
Procedure 2: Empty Bottles and E-Liquid Syringes
Through the utilization of empty bottles and e-liquids syringes, you can effortlessly regulate the configuration and create your individual e-liquid according to your individual necessity.
Procedure 3: For Thicker Smoke
If you prefer thicker smoke, utilize not as much water. Whilst you are utilizing e-cig in higher temperature surrounding or hot weather, utilize not as much of water. If creating a mixture containing stabilizers leave out the water and utilize either a couple drops of stabilizer mixture or additional depending on concentration and flavor. You need to try out!
Procedure 4: Adjusting the Flavor Strengths
The taste intensities will be adjustable through the distinctive e-liquid bases and the distinct nicotine concentrations. You have to readjust the flavor intensities through the use of various e-liquid bases and the distinctive nicotine concentrations according to your individual predilection. Typically, you merely require putting 6-8 percent of the flavoring strength in your e-liquid depending on your individual strengths of flavor and the nicotine concentration. For elevated nicotine strength, you can utilize additional flavoring strength.
Bear in mind that effective mixing in your home depends on certain consideration of the simple guidelines while combining your individual e-liquid recipe. You must by no means combine in huge groups unless you know for sure that you are going to love the outcome. It is very easy to excessively weaken your e-liquid if you work on the entire bottleful at once, and spoil it.

What are the dangers of e cigarettes?
The short and simple answer is that no one really knows yet. Electronic cigarettes are a new product, so there has not been time to study and evaluate their effects on the human body.
However, it is probably safe to say that they are substantially less harmful than traditional cigarettes. The by-products of combustion are mainly what makes cigarettes so harmful. There is no combustion with an electronic cigarette, hence, there are no harmful combustion by-products.
I would like to add that all components of the E-Liquid used in reputable E-Cig's are FDA approved for human use and consumption. The recent court case in New York resulted in the AMA & FDA putting themselves in a quandary over these chemicals.

In short, yes. There is no legal reason why you cannot use electronic cigarettes in an airport as they do not contain tobacco or produce harmful second-hand smoke. However, you may be approached if your electronic cigarette looks like a traditional cigarette (ie white with orange light at the end) because people may think it is a real cigarette. Some airlines have banned electronic cigarettes from their planes because it is the easiest thing to do. They do not know enough about electronic cigarettes to make a judgement about whether they are considered safe yet, so the easy option is to protect themselves by banning them.

The answer to this question relies entirely on the model and intensity of the electric cigarette compared to a standard one. In most cases, the electronic cigarette should have some means of comparison, be it on the box or in the manual somewhere.

Why is smoking bad for your health?
Tobacco smoking cigarettes are bad for health because it contain tar and toxins which are harmful for our lungs.
What is the best rated electronic cigarette?
There is not a single answer to this question because there are many different sizes and styles of electronic cigarettes. The most popular style of electronic cigarette is the "mini" electronic cigarette and it is the style that will be addressed here.
The term "mini" is a bit misleading but, generally speaking, it refers to electronic cigarettes that are approximately the size of a regular tobacco cigarette. Although there are a few mini electronic cigarettes that are actually the size of a standard 85mm cigarette, the best ones tend to be closer to a 100mm cigarette in size.
There is always going to be debate over the best in terms of any product but the consensus on all of the major e-cigarette forums seems to be either the Joye 510 or the DSE901. Both electronic cigarettes have their strong advocates and each has its strengths and weaknesses.
The Joye 510 is liked by many because it has a button on it that allows users to draw on it for as long as they like. Its atomizer also seems to burn slightly hotter than some other models, which may be the reason it tends to produce such outstanding vapor. On the other hand, holding down a button every time to get a drag off of an electronic cigarette is a turnoff to some people.
The DSE901 has a microchip in the battery component that senses when a user is inhaling. Because of this technology, the user does not have to depress a button to take a drag off of the DSE901; the e-cigarette automatically releases vapor when the user inhales. In an effort to keep the atomizer from overheating, damaging the heating element, there is an automatic cutoff time of five seconds on the device. Some complain that this is a downside to the DSE901 but others say that they do not take a prolonged single drag of more than five seconds, so the cutoff time is not an issue with them. Although the DSE901 atomizer seems to burn slightly less hot than the Joye 510, it still produces an excellent amount of vapor. Many users think that the Joye 510's atomizer burns off some of the flavor and site the better flavor produced from the DSE901 as the reason that it is their favorite.
I have tried a variety of e-cigarettes and consider these to be the best two models, myself. As to which one is the best, it depends whose opinion you value more; My wife likes the Joye 510 the best; I prefer the DSE901!
Both of these models are also excellent choices because so many different web sites sell them, that you will never have to worry about finding parts or resupplies for them. The competition between so many sites also helps to keep the prices down on them, too!
Can you smoke an electronic cigarette if your not a smoker?
If by "smoke" you mean ignite (set it on fire), such a thing would be very dangerous. Electronic cigarettes cartridges contain a small amount of alcohol, plastic, and in some cases other combustible materials.
How much nicotine in 1 electronic fin cigarette cartridge?
The rating of the Fin cartridge is by percentage of volume, they are all standard at 1.6% nicotine by volume.
Where do you buy e cigarettes in Canada?
Yes, most vape stores will sell a blended flavor without any nicotine added.
Most stores have 'taster samples' they use to let others sample the flavor, and those normally do not contain nicotine.
Can a person overdose on nicotine from an electronic cigarette?
Yes. If a user ingests too much of anything (even water!), it can become toxic. However, with the nicotine amounts found in e-cigs, it would be exceedingly difficult to receive a toxic dose of nicotine, when used as directed.
There are electronic cigarettes without nicotine, namely the SMOKeFREE electronic cigarette. So in this circumstance, the answer would be no.
However, different brands do contain different levels of nicotine. With regular cigarettes the filter reduces the amount of nicotine one inhales however with electronic cigarettes the nicotine is obsorbed quickly through mouth, throat and lungs. The theory is that because you're inhaling more of nicotine without a filter - the higher volume you're receiving. Some say upwards of 300% volume of regular cigarettes.
Research is being done by many organizations interested in knowing the answer to this question - since nicotine is considered a drug by the Food Drug Administration - I'm going to assume one can take too much and result in an overdose. However, only time and research will tell.
