One Thing E Cigs NEED...Why Real Cigs are BETTER

[MikeDeason]

These devices need to "beep" after 14 to 16 puffs, indicating that you have smoked the equivilant of 1 cigarette.

The good thing about REAL CIGs is that you know how many you've smoked.

I've been pounding Nicotine on my USB passthrough all night and have NO IDEA how many real cigs worth of Nicotine I've inhaled.

Mike: As a smoker, I would go through a full pack of cigarettes between getting home from work and going to bed. That's pretty close to chain smoking ... and, I figure I probably vape about as much. Possibly less though, since with a cigarette I'd probably be actively smoking until it was done ... while with a PV I can take a hit or two and then set it down for a while.

I dunno. But, I DO understand you point. I'd be happy to trade that dorky looking LED tip for your beep any day, assuming it was very, very quiet.

Well, if you don't have a headache, stomach ache or hiccups, then you have not gotten close to too much nicotine.

Is the count important to you? You could get one of those things that fit in your palm that increment 1 count for each time it is pressed and then you would have something to count.

I may come off as flippant as I do not really understand why the number is important.

Ahhh so true. I think I vape alot more then I ever smoked. I have yet to drink and vape, that should turn out well for me lol

We get a lot of questions around here about how many puffs of an ecig equal a real cig, etc. In time, you'll realize that it doesn't really matter. If you use your ecig enough to keep you away from smoking those nasty cancer sticks, does it really matter?

Personally, I wouldn't want my ecig beeping at me. As it is, I prefer not to even have an LED.

I totally understand the question. There is no longer a start/stop. I don't go outside for 5 minutes to smoke, now I "smoke" all the time. I think I'm getting more nicotine than with regular cigs. I have never been over weight and now find myself losing weight. I think maybe too much "smoking" e cigs. I laugh because there isn't a reason to stop!

Im only ingesting nicotine now - not 4 thousand other chemicals as well - its going to feel different than smoking a cancer stick was. i dont really care how much nic i get as long as its not making me ill tbh.
If you think that a 'real cig' is better then its your choice as an adult to go back and smoke them; I know which one *I* think is better, and thats really all I can tell ya

[MikeDeason]

There should be a beeping version for those of use who don't want to become even more hooked to Nicotine and even for those who would like to know approximately how many cigs they have smoked.

Hell, they could even make it so you could enter the number of puffs ONLINE with the USB attachment before the thing "Beeped".

Or, a very small LCD to display the information. That technology is now so cheap it could be included without significantly impacting the price, it would seem to me. Pardon me, just thinking out loud, haha ... and the idea of a digital readout on my PV appeals to the gadget freak in me.

I am feeling much the same way, again not that i care I just am now waiting for an order from TV of juice and doubler so I can cut my strength down and kind of thinking of keeping one maybe even loaded with zero nicotine. I see no reason to worry about how much I am vaping but I actually was getting a headache for excessive nicotine last night
