Looking for a " WAT IS A ECIG" video - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

Jayhawks · 02-16-2009, 04:58 PM

Does anyone know of a good video that explains the concept of what an ecig is and what it does with examples of place you can use it (or try to).
Airplanes, movies theaters, and all those other NO Smoking places that you need to sneak a little nicotine

All the ones I find are mostly reviews or if they are informitive they seem to be poor quality or very unprofessional.

I have been telling people about them and they just cant imagine what they are or how they work. My town is going smoke free next month and I try to tell peeps that this should be SMOKING BAN PROOF, but they just dont get it. I have sent them to this forum to get educated, but most people dont have the time to sift through and read the forum.

IMO I think this would be a good video for the ecig community to have.
If I had the equipment I would do one but I dont.

Just a thought

the wikipedia article is somewhat acceptable at this point. No video of what is that I know of... hope this helps

Simply stated....It would appear that there is clearly no 1 expert on E-cigs...primarily because they haven't been clinically studied are we are not likely to know for sure what the effects are for some time IMO...It is for this reason, that I don't site specifics when people ask me about my e-cig....for example, I get these questions most often...

Are they safer than regular cigarettes?
My response: well, I can only assume so since they don't have tobacco, tar and the other thousands of chemicals in them.

What about the second hand smoke?
See question 1, and I haven't had anyone complain about it personally. They definitely don't smell as bad as regular cigs!

Do you think they could help me quit?
I have no idea...I do know that I have personally cut down from a pack a day to about 3-4 a day...so I'm seeing progress, but everyone is different.

I wish I knew the specifics so I could tell people more, unfortunately, the info is just not available just yet.
Only time will tell I suppose!

I am working on a general video for e-cig newbies and it should be up in the next few days. It should serve this purpose. It will be an "intro to e-cigs".

Here's a pretty good review video from "Harry Potter".
