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.

Vaping is shown safer than smoking . Still there are bad effects of vaping. A 14 year old can easily be influenced, Cocaine and other harmful substances can be easily inhaled using the vapor. Vaping is found more helpful to Active smokers in quitting smoking and should not be considered as the better and child safe alternative to smoking. Drinking alcohol,Smoking ,Vaping or Substance abuse all are in the same category according to me.

How unhealthy are e-cigarettes?

Asked by Wiki User

As a former smoker and now an ecig user, I believe that ANYTHING has to be better for you then regular cigarettes.

Independent studies say it is anywhere from 100-1,000 times better then cigarettes. So yes it is better for you then regular cigarettes and there hasn't been any ecig reported deaths.

The real question is are they really 100% healthy. In theory without all the harmful chemicals in it is should be. But, it is too soon to tell, they haven't been around long enough for any conclusive answers. The FDA has taken the position that they don't really care if they are better and therefore not going to test the theory.

Is there a safe e cigarette?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are always going to be some medical risks involved in consuming nicotine, an addictive drug which causes blood vessels to constrict. However, when you compare an e cigarette to the traditional, tobacco based cigarette, it is vastly safer. Even if you are still inhaling nicotine, you are at least not inhaling tar, carbon monoxide, and many other toxins produced by burning tobacco.

The vapor is primarily water, nicotine, propylene glycol and flavor.

Nicotine is a highly addictive substance found in tobacco. Therefore, e-cigs are not recommended for use by non-smokers. With certain e-cigs, such as Cigarti™, you can choose the amount of nicotine in the vapor. Cigarti™ offers cartridges with varying amounts of nicotine. Switching to a lighter cartridge offers Cigarti™ smokers an easy way to reduce their nicotine intake over time.

The vapor can also contain traces of flavor. The flavor can also produce a slight scent.

The vapor also contains propylene glycol, an organic additive typically found in food coloring and cake mixes. It is on the safe elements list of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The vapor produced by e-cigarettes, like Cigarti™, is a realistic feeling smoke alternative. There is no tobacco, tar, carbon monoxide or any other carcinogens in the vapor.

You can't smoke water with your e-cigarette. The e-cigarette might produce a very small amount of water vapor. It is possible to use a dilute e-liquid since deposits of e-liquid in atomizer chamber and water from cartridge produced a lot of vapor.


What is an electronic cigarette?

Asked by Abhijitbn

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.

How do you make electronic cigarette liquid?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Electronic cigarette liquid is merely water, e-liquid base, flavorings and a certain proportion of genuine nicotine or several further not obligatory stabilizers. 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?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Can you use an electronic cigarette at the airport?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.
