Save Money with e-cigs!

There's no doubt things are tough out there these days, jobs are scarce and people are trying to save money any way they can. Many of those who are struggling are also smokers, and the price of cigarettes these days is pretty steep for most smokers.

Enter the E-cigarette, the alternative to tobacco cigarettes. In earlier posts we have talked about what e-cigs are, how they work, and the fact that they produce far fewer chemicals than burning tobacco does. What we haven't talked much about is the savings for the average smoker that the e-cig can mean.

Where I live, cigarettes are at least $4 a pack (whatever brand is on sale) and I was a two pack a day smoker. OK, $8 bucks a day, 30 days a month, that's OMG! $240 a MONTH! That's like a car payment.

Let's compare that to the costs of using an e-cig. Your starter kit comes, in most cases, with everything you need to get started: 2 rechargeable batteries, 1 or 2 atomizers, a charger and usually a few pre-filled cartridges to get you started. The whole deal probably cost you less than $75, shipped, and just with the five pre-filled cartridges that came with your kit, you can "vape" about the equivalent of 5 packs of "analog" smokes.

The batteries and atomizers are consumable, meaning they don't last forever. If you are using cartomizers, you won't need to replace cartridges or atomizers, they're an easy, hassle free way to go. Usually the batteries last for several months, the atomizers usually last from a few weeks to a couple of months before it's time to replace them.

Let's say you added two boxes of cartomizers to your order. (that equals about a carton of cigarettes)  So even considering the start-up cost of buying your e-cig, you still saved more  than a hundred dollars the first month!

After that, it just gets better because all you have to buy are cartomizers or cartridges that you fill or that come pre-filled, and both are very reasonably priced (cartomizers around $12 for a box of five pre-filled, cartridges around $6 pre-filled.)

I find my total monthly costs have dropped from $240 a month to less than $50 a month, including any replacement parts. That's a savings of $190 a month--money I can use for a lot of other stuff--like paying the bills!

Not only are my e-cigs cleaner, they produce no second hand smoke, I can choose my own nicotine level and I am saving a fortune compared to my smelly old habit. That's all important to me.

That's the latest for today, stay tuned for more--And don't forget, enter a comment for a discount on your next purchase!

Let's Talk Juice!

Hi vapers, it's Lenny, your friendly e-cig guy, back to talk a little bit about "smoke-juice".

Every e-cig user remembers the foul taste in our mouths when we still smoked analogs. (that's regular cigs for the newbies)  Many of us wondered too many times to count why we used the word "taste" when comparing one brand to another. They were all terrible!!! You just can't make burning tobacco taste good! ;-)

 Also, nicotine itself tastes pretty bad, we found that out with the nicotine gum we tried from the pharmacy, but that is a story for another day. (don't worry, I'll get to that soon)
 
Now that we decided to indulge our habits differently than we did with analogs, using the marvelous little vaping machines instead of smoking, we discovered that "smoke juice" was available in all kinds of flavors. At first, we mostly used tobacco variants, menthol or mint when we first started, later, when we got comfortable NOT smoking, we decided to experiment with different flavors.

I learned a trick I saw on another forum, that said to really enjoy your e-cig, you should swap flavors regularly, to keep the taste fresher. It really works well for me. I tried a black cherry liquid next, and was very pleased to find it was very pleasant, not overpowering, but overall great!

Then I tried several other flavors here, banana, vanilla, and several other flavors, and I love switching from one to the other. All do a very good job, some better than others of masking the taste of nicotine, so if we are going to continue to use it, it might as well not taste like burned, dried leaves of the tobacco plant.

So, venture into the e-liquid shop and feel free to experiment. Let's face it, we're saving a fortune compared with what we used to spend on cigarettes, the price of juice is very reasonable, so we can afford to indulge ourselves a little, right?   :-)

Thanks for tuning in people, see you all soon,

All About Cartomizers

Hi gang, it's Lenny "The e-cig guy" to keep you up to date on vaping news :-)

Today I want to spend a couple of minutes talking about "cartomizers" , what they are, and why you should consider them.

Assuming you already got your start-up kit from Smoke-Light.com, you have been enjoying your new e-cig for awhile :-), now let's talk about the difference between a cartridge and a cartomizer, and why you might like the cartomizer.

As you probably already know, the atomizer, like the battery of an e-cig is a consumable part. It has a lifespan from anywhere from two weeks to 3 months before it needs to be replaced. When using the traditional atomizer you also need to use a cartridge, which sits on the atomizer and holds the E-Liquid. You have probably gotten some juice on your fingers refilling them. (Don't worry, everybody gets a little juice on their fingers from time to time) You just wash your hands and get on with it.

On the other hand, a newer development is the cartomizer, so named because it contains both an atomizer and a filled cartridge in your choice of flavors and strength. The cool thing about the cartomizer is you just screw it onto your battery, enjoy it for a couple of days, (depending on how much you use your personal vaporizer), then just throw it away. You are always using a new atomizer, and your juice is always fresh.

Cartomizers are an excellent and convenient alternative to the original cartridges, carry a fresh sealed one in your pocket and when your e-cig runs out of juice, just screw a new cartomizer on and toss the old one in the trash.

Simple. I like that! ;-)

You can purchase your cartomizers here: Ecig-Cartomizers

That's it for today, stay tuned for new personal vaporizer developments as they come,

LENNY B.... STOPS SMOKING USING E-CIGS--Wife's Health NO. 1 Reason I Quit

Smoke-Light.com Electronic Cigarette & e Accessories wishes to thank Lenny for telling us about his greatest motivation to stop and how today this means no more second-hand smoke.

Hello everybody, my name is Lenny, and I would like to share my story about how I was finally able to quit smoking cigarettes, a habit I had for over 40 years and which was causing serious problems to my health and that of my wife of 22 years.

I started smoking at a very young age, my older brother was a smoker and it was he who gave me my first cigarette when I was 12 years old. My brother was 14 years older than me, and I always tried to be like him, so if he smoked, I wanted to.

Actually, he gave me that cigarette to try to get me sick to my stomach in an attempt to keep me from smoking. (I did get really, really sick from smoking it) I had to learn how to smoke without getting sick to my stomach, and like lots of the kids in our neighborhood, we got older kids to buy cigarettes for us so we could be "cool". It was great once we got over the sick part, and we proudly strutted the neighborhood and school with a smoke attached to our lips. This was a long time ago, and there were cigarette ads everywhere, on billboards, on TV magazines, you name it and you could find cool looking guys (and especially girls) blowing smoke rings from every ad for cigarettes. In fact, in my neighborhood in NYC, if you didn't smoke, you were what people call a nerd today.

Everything was fine for awhile, though I did get kicked off my school swimming team
