Realistic looking e-cigs and e-pipe for a play?

[prkr4]

Hello,
I'm a theatre director staging The Grapes of Wrath. We'd love to have realistic looking e-cigarettes and e-pipes for the 1930s ensemble. Any advice on what brands/models might be best? They need to be free of nicotine and make visible smoke; the glowing red tip would be a huge plus.
Many thanks!

In the UK there are a lot of fake plastic cigarettes readily available which wouldn't look out of place.

I'd not want to quit smoking with them, as many of us found out. Little more than a placebo i.m.o. with abominable battery life.

Perfect for your needs then.

Can you not buy a few Njoys?

Pipes would be more complicated, but certainly do-able. Kamry make an e-pipe which could be bought for $35. Depends on budget, but at least someone could make good use of it afterwards, even if you to paint the atomizer section black.

Oh man there used to be a relatively cheap e-pipe that would be perfect for a play or something. Had a fake ember light up and the tank fit into a little sleeve so it wasn't readily visible. Just spent a couple minutes tryna find it to no avail though..

No idea who made it or where it is, maybe someone remembers?

For the cigarettes though, you can find plenty of cigalikes that light up red at the end, that's not really an issue. Can probably even find one in a gas station or something.

The Volt from Smokeless Image are cigalikes with a glowing red tip when you take a draw. You can order the cartridges to have 0 mg nicotine. They also sell an e-cigar.

The e-pipes is going to be more costly. There are some around if you look online. Google is your friend.

Cigalikes contain nicotine so they might not be desirable. I think movie actors use some type of artificial tobacco that makes smoke but has no nicotine. They probably still contain tar but the actor could abstain from inhaling.

I found this The Straight Dope: Do non-smoking actors use fake cigarettes when playing a part?
