The refillable cartridges come in a variety of flavors as well as nicotine strengths. You can get regular, menthol, apple, and even strawberry flavored cartridges. When it comes to nicotine strengths, you will find a range consisting of full, medium, light, and none. While an e-cigarette is technically a 'smoking alternative' rather than a device that helps you stop smoking, the range of nicotine strengths offers some obvious potential as a device that can help you quit smoking and it seems to be popular when directed to this intended target market.
Another great thing about an e-cigarette is that you can smoke these just about anywhere. Because there is no tobacco in them whatsoever, you can legally smoke them in places where traditional cigarettes are usually prohibited. These places include bars, restaurants, office buildings, and even airplanes. Furthermore, you can enjoy smoking these without any fear of inflicting harm on others due to the second hand smoke that a real cigarette causes.
So how does this wonderful device work? You will notice by looking carefully that the electronic cigarette contains a nicotine cartridge containing e-liquid. When you inhale on this, a tiny battery powered atomizer turns a small amount of this e-liquid into vapor. Inhaling the vapor gives you nicotine hit in seconds rather than the minutes it would take with a patch or gum. A small LED light at the tip gives off an orange glow and is an indicator of the burn that a real cigarette causes.
As with any popular product today, you should be aware that the market may be flooded with cheap imitations. In this case, make sure you do your research carefully, whether it is online or from first-hand information. The problem with smoking a fake e-cigarette is that it normally has not been subjected to rigorous product testing and certain components contained in one may be highly damaging to your health.
The reason that it is so popular is because of the sensation that you feel as you take a drag on one of these. You actually feel your lungs fill with warm tobacco flavor and the exhalation process is just like billowing actual smoke out of your lungs. If you are interested in a healthier smoking alternative, or if you want the freedom to smoke wherever and whenever, an e-cigarette might be the answer you've been praying for.
