My e-Cigarette Experiences…

Posts Tagged ‘tobacco bill’

So… it seems that there IS some sense in the world.  I won’t go into the details, but the story HERE tells the juicy details.  I know that the fight is FAR from over, and am watching closely to see what comes next.  And rest assured that as soon as I see something really news-worthy, I’ll be sharing it here for your review.  Meanwhile, it looks like those of you in the US will at least have it easier getting your e-cigs for the immediate future.  Now…  who’s working on Health Canada?!  Still, I am having no problems getting my personal supplies direct from e-cig.com, in fact my latest shipment is due today or Monday, and was just ordered last Friday.  Pretty good turn around still – and getting better.

Vape On!

I just re-read my July 15th post entitled ‘The Deadline Approaches’ and realized that I included some information that is not entirely consistent with the end result.  I had spoke of a product that contains NO Propylene-Glycol, when in fact the product I did order DOES contain PG.  So I wanted to let you all in on what happened there if you were curious…

For Blu, that great sounding little company that I have supported with positive comments and blog posts for the better part of the past month, I have to say that I’m running out of time and patience.  First it was a two week delay… then three, and now we’re coming up on four weeks and still no order, even after the company has been basically shutdown for ten days trying to catch up on their backlog.  Here’s my position as of this post…  I’ve selected another brand of product.  Sure I don’t get the cool Blu pack, and perhaps the cartridges are not as convenient as the Blu ones.  But from what I’m reading, this product contains no propylene glycol, and offers a pretty attractive packaging and kit prices.  Not QUITE as cheap as Blu either, but as I’ve said in the past, even the BEST product is useless if it’s not able to get to the consumer.  So stay tuned – if I don’t see my order flipped to shipped by Friday, I’m pulling my order and placing the new one.  If that happens, I’ll be letting you all know more about the product I’ve selected.

And who knows… I may get a basic kit from this other vendor either way to see if they are reliable, and meet the expectations.  After all…  I have a feeling I’ll need to test at least a few of the many varieties of e-cig that are out there.

More coming soon – so stay tuned!

I had a couple of experiences today that made me appreciate the concept of the e-cig even more today.  I am, of course, waiting for the arrival of mine but as I was driving around today, I seemed to be more aware of the things that I will NOT experience with e-cigs.  Of course, there’s the chemicals, and the smoke, and all of the benefits we’ve already talked about, but this morning I was clearly reminded of the other indirect threats that smoking can put in our paths.  In my car earlier, I decided to have a smoke.  It was a nice day, but breezy, and I had my windows open of course to release the smoke from my car (not that it really helps all that much).  I had to, for a couple of seconds, revert to driving with my knee while I had to use both hands to light a cig.  It’s a practice that I’ve done so many times in the past without thought, that I just had to take pause for a moment today and wonder just how often I actually do it.  And I didn’t realize the real risks until well after my second or third drag.
