When speaking to smokers of regular tobacco-based cigarettes about trying the electronic counterpart instead you get a lot believing that e-cigarettes won’t taste the same or cannot possibly give the same experience; but is that really the truth ?
To find out, UK Electronic Cigarette Company cheap-electronic-cigarettes.co.uk spent some time with a 60 a day smoker to find out if the NUCIG Advanced Pro 2 could really hold its own against the test subjects much loved Roll-ups .
It is true that when smoking an electronic cigarette the user does have to use a slightly different technique , like how a pipe is smoked . On taking a drag the atomiser mixes the nicotine solution with the vapour and the user does experience a pleasing throat hit and the sensation of the vapour hitting the lungs is virtually one and the same as it’s tobacco based equivalent.
After use, our test subject, Vaughan, was amazed at the lack of discomfort in his throat that he normally got from a tradtiotional cigarette he stated “That is amazing! I feel completely satisfied, the craving is gone and I haven’t got the heavy chest feeling I normally have after having a cigarette .”
This is a normal occurance of fist time vapers – a term coined to differentiate electronic cigarette users apart from smokers. It is quite normal for smokers of electronic cigarettes to realise that they have no throat soreness that normally accompanies smoking a regular cigarette, although some do experience a slight dryness from the eliquid; but this quickly passes.
Some manufacturers of the e-cigarette have striven to mimic traditional tastes of regular tobacco based cigarettes. The NUCIG Advanced Pro 2 electronic cigarette, for example, comes with complete with four strengths, zero (no nicotine) through strong and this allows users to find the right nicotine level for them.
Another big difference between tobacco and electronic cigarettes is price. To get started, a starter kit is priced at about £40-50. A replacement (rechargeable) battery is priced about £7-10, and the replacement cartridges, which are equivalent to 7 cigarettes each, cost from only 40p each! Pound for Pound the electronic cigarette is significantly cheaper than their unhealthy counterparts over time.
Most users polled the NUCIG Advanced Pro 2 as close to the real things by as much as 90-95%. The vapor actually looks like smoke but is made up of water and other ingredients pronounced safe by the FDA in America , it is this feature that makes electronic cigarettes a complete psychological experience for the smoker and we regard this as the reason why the conversion is easier. The replacement cartridges contain no tobacco nor do they produce harmful smoke of any kind .
Another welcome difference between electronic cigarettes and tobacco cigarettes is the lack of the incredible strength of the smell of stale tobacco given off by smokers. The smell permeates clothes, cars, carpets and curtains, in fact, everything around the user. This vanishes completely with electronic cigarettes, since there is no actual inflammation or burning tobacco. You’re not inhaling (nor exhaling) all the oxidized compounds, therefore there’s nothing left to cause the odour.
The downside in all of this, if there are any, is the electronic cigarette will more than likely destroy the smoker’s desire to return to traditional tobacco based products. After a week of use Vaughan proudly stated that he ‘had not had a single normal cigarette’.
Again this is a regular occurance because after using the NUCIG, taste buds begin to regenerate. To complete the test we asked Vaughan to try a traditional cigarette to see if he would want to go back and we were very happy to see him hate it and refuse more than 2 drags due to it tasting ‘chemically’ and ‘vile’.
An added benefit is the ability for the electronic smoker to smoke in virtually any place or environment. Pubs, Clubs, restaurants, theaters, airplanes and even at work, places which have banned cigarette smokers for decades are completely legal for electronic smokers since the e-cig produces no illegal by-products, and therefore no dangerous secondhand smoke.
To conclude , we believe that if someone like Vaughan (A 31 year old, socially concious, alpha male) can convert to electronic cigarettes and find it cool then mass acceptance cannot be far behind. There are so many benefits that it becomes difficult to cover them all in a general study but to know that Vaughan is still buying extra cartridges from us means he’s still using the NUCIG. In fact he has converted about 10 other smokers to electronic cigarettes too.
