Hey, new to the forum!

[CaffeineRush]

I've tried a few e-cigs like Blu Cigs and njoy and they're pretty bad, does anyone have any suggestions on what to really try? Also, I keep reading that nicotine on its own is rather harmless at the levels found in e-cigs, is this true? Thanks in advance!

Hi welcome to the forum! I started out with an ego-t from totallywicked.com that started my journey into the ecig world. I have also read that nicotine on its own is rather harmless at low levels and is more of a stimulant, not 100% sure though

Yeah I've read the same about nicotine, except depending on the tolerance of the person and the dose, it can act as a stimulant or have a calming effect. So in other words it's just like caffeine v.2 right?

Congrats and welcome! I think I've read the same things as you, nicotine is rather harmless in small quantity. Will update if I came across anything.

Welcome. That sounds about right.

Howdy, CaffeineRush and welcome to the ECF.

Great plan to give e-cigs another try! I would suggest an eGo class device as they will outperform the NJoy and blu by quite a margin. The ultimate for small-size (eGo / cigar sized) is the eGo Twist which gives you the advantage of variable voltage.

Nicotine, at any level, is not harmless. It is a vasoconstrictor and increases blood pressure and reduces blood flow...along with a number of other not-so-great side effects. That said, e-liquid with nicotine is waaaaaay better than cigarette smoke that contains some 4000 chimicals, about 60 of which are known carcinogens. And, you can step down on the nic level over time.

Nicotine has been compared to cafeine as a stimulant. Is it totally safe? Probably has some risk factors the same as cafeine, but compared to the hundreds of cancer causing chemicals found in tobacco cigarettes, its a fair tradeoff in my opinion.

Thats what I read atleast, it can be dangerous at high amounts of nicotine but if you keep it around the normal amount, I have read nothing that can be harming

As far as the effects of nic. I've got no info on that. I started with an ego c twist battery and a Vivi nova clearomizer.

Welcome! well my opinion is just to get into mods because you are gonna end up getting one anyways lol might as well save some money

 

[phil71185]

Welcome !!!!! Yeah we all get a mod sooner or latter but I still carry my ego twist and vision spinner as backups. So its not money wasted in my opinion there have been several times I found myself on my second backup. You never know when a device may go funky on you.

welcome to the forum new member.
please check out my blog, its got all the info a new member could want.
you can access it by clicking my user name & selecting blog.

as for nicotine being harmless/full.... It is very similar to caffeine.
anything in excess can be harmful.
it is up to the addict to find the best rout to suppress the negatives.
that is what you are. an addict. a chronic user of a drug.
a drug is anything that effects the central nervous system.

as for what to get... what are you looking for? there are many options,
all of your options are highlighted in my blog.
there are cig-alikes, small mods, and big battery mods.
cig-alikes attempt to replicate the look of a cigarette. They suffer from low power and low battery life.
small mods are the size of sharpies or butter knives. Better battery life, medium power.
big battery mods will satisfy you in every way if you know how to use them correctly. but they are big, & bulky.
there is a trade off in every category.

Please ask your questions here in this thread, search and look around the forum, my blog, and feel free to PM me.
