OK, I am a film student at the Savannah College of Art and Design. And I'm pretty good too....

So I've put my mind to making a few propaganda shorts. (That is, getting the truth out!)

This is going to involve an E-cig in some funny way in each one, and I'm hoping to keep them VERY short. Say, 30 seconds or less, since on-line and on-girls most people prefer short shorts.

So I am going to need a supply of vape-juice which is nicotine-free for my actors to use. (And to keep the smokers among them from smoking up all my PERSONAL smoke juice!) You'd be suprised how much of something like that you can go through on a film shoot. We were shooting something with smoking a bit ago and went though a pack and a half getting the 'light it' shot from all angles.

So, I'm wondering,
_________________________________________________________

Question #1. Can I load up a cart with PG only? What I'm looking for here isn't something that tastes good, or gets your your nicotine, I'm looking for something I can use to get a massive cloud of vapor for the purpose of taking pictures of it. Would I need to thin it out any with water?

_________________________________________________________

Question #2. What is the most REAL LOOKING (That is, looking like a cigarette,) E-cig on the market?

Question #3. Does anyone live around Savannah Georgia and have an interist in helping to make a few shorts a reality?
_________________________________________________________

Question #4. Can the forum help me to get these shorts some exposure? My plan is to put them online. I'd LIKE to have everyone on the forum go veiw, then email everyone they know. If I make these short enough and FUNNY enough, we could get a very large number of hits, and non-smokers will even pass them on to other people since they will find them FUNNY.

Hi greysaber, I'm a keygrip in the film industry (28 years) and I hear you on the amount of prop we go through. Try the Wilton glycerin, it'll smoke like an ol chevy and it has no flavor, the super mini's look like a real cig, especially the Smoke Everywhere. Best of luck with your project and will look forward to seeing them on Youtube.
