I-Inhale ... new technology for us

[Sir_Puffalot]

Nice find Kate , I`d be very interested to see how you get on with it , hadn`t even heard of them before reading this thread , just shows the pace of modern technology. The only thing that bothers me is the physical size of it , but as was stated a smaller one is on the horizon , might give it a spin then.
As for the cannabis , I`m with you on that one , just made me paranoid and lazy, knocked that on the head a few years ago now, I do miss the taste though.

Scrubadub, I heard that glycerine can convert to toxic acrolein at around 280 degrees C.

Acrolein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thanks Kate, that's what I was thinking of. I'm looking forward to hearing how it works out for you. Especially how it compares flavour wise to the Kissbox.

I'm going to see if they're interested in a review.

ohhh me too..that'll save me £140

Saw this thing on ebay but immediately passed it off as another vaporizer for that other plant. Refillable butane cartridges might be a nice improvement on it. Something small enough to carry several around in a day pack or a purse. They sell a portable size butane refill thingy, but I don't think it is refillable. It would be cool if you could fill five butane carts at home and have enough to last you the day away from home. The noise puts me off. I like stealth sometimes, especially at work. I do like the constant temperature idea though. I think part of our problems with gunked up atomizers might be inconsistent temps and therefore inconsistent vaporization of the liquid. This thing has no atomizer per se. No carts either - direct drip only - not necessarily bad, just different. Definitely intriguing.

This is one of those "each to his own" issues. E-cigs look too much like real cigs, and that will contribute to a move to ban them. It already has in the past (read some FDA papers and you'll see this is true). Looking like a cig is a bad thing. It confuses authorities enforcing "no smoking' bans.

Plus, this will be easier to explain as a medical device used to stop smoking. Period. That's the explanation if challenged. It's not how these will be advertised, but it's the practical use, aside from miscreants puffing happy plants.

On the ecigtest foroum, you can learn that Kate has ordered one. If I had the cash, I'd order one instantly. A personal vaporizer is permissible to use; an e-cig remains highly questionable until regulatory agencies make a finding. This is a major step in the right direction for e-smoking.

I agree, this technology and design is exactly what we need, this instantly sweep away the argument that some antis are enforcing: "it looks too much like a real cigarette" also the multi purpose of the device can keep it far away from tobacco bans.

As for the authorities chasing people by using it... well it is a constant now that authorities and antis are trying to put smokers in a corner, they want to put the smokers at the "social level" of other drug adicts (we are indeed drug adicts, so don't run away from what you really are) they are trying to make us pariahs so no new generations are incentivized to smoke.

Lithium, I feel so sorry for what Mexico has done and is doing to smokers, tobacco users and e-smokers. I hope you can contribute to Dusty's documentary effort, outlined in the number three post above the General list. Your input would be invaluable.

Wow, nice unit but web page says 180 Euros, or about $230. US. Pretty steep price but all of the other 'herbal' vaporizers are very pricey too.

I still believe Mexico was paid off by big tobacco.8-o

Thanks Bob, I have seen the Dusty's project and I think is great but I am very sorry I can't contribute to it, because I actually don't speak english, I have learned a little bit to read and write english mainly on internet (I know it sound weird... but google and some language websites help a lot) besides this is not happening only in Mexico, a lot of european goverments and societies are pushing smokers to be something undesirable in the society even in the US smoking is not cool anymore (Smoking is Not Cool), "society" is marking smoking more and more as a disgusting behavior.

It's all money and politics, always has been and always will be. Maybe our clout will be the money politicans see being raised by the taxing of our little devices and the consumables--

Lithium: I'm not sure Dusty knows how to do it, but when I was doing video for my car review web site a decade ago, I was doing Closed Captions with every video. The captions could be a translation of Spanish to English. Plus, America has many Spanish-speaking citizens and they need to know about e-smoking. I sure hope you can provide your insight. Cheers.

Your english seems excellent and I love the website! I'm particularly interested in the 'activist' thread as I personally make a habit of standing up for human rights etc.

I was an active 'free tibet' supporter myself a few years back going on marches across London town chanting on the atrocities that went on behind closed media doors ie. forced abortions on Tibetan women by Chinese military.

More recently I've got one foot into the green movement and feel that if we at least join collectively across the world we can start to at least halt some of the corruption that continues in the profit driven world we live in by the multi nationals that are currently running the world. I'm no hippy, but my grandparents instincts are hard to ignore...

P.S. It's way past my bed time, but an 18 month baby soon halts that train of thought!! 8-o
