Five Fast Factoids About The E-Cigarette

By Billy Genthner


If you are thinking about trying electronic cigarettes, you are not alone. While sales of traditional cigarettes are in decline, this is an industry that is booming and there are plenty of reasons why people are opting for E-Cigarettes. If you don't know much about this product, here is a bit of information that you might find interesting.

1. Electronic Cigarettes Are Known By Many Names

While electronic cigarette and E-Cig might be among the most common names for these products, there are several other terms that might be used to identify them. Personal vaporizer is one term that might be used, or perhaps just PV. They've even been called ENDS or electronic nicotine delivery systems, although not all E-Cigs contain nicotine.

2. Electronic Cigarettes Are Not A New Idea

It might seem like it has only been within the last five or so years that E-Cigarettes have been around, but the first patent for a smokeless type of cigarette was granted way back in 1963. In the 1980s, a smokeless cigarette called Premiers was created by RJ Reynolds, the maker of traditional cigarettes such as Winston's and Camels. However, this was not popular with consumers. Eventually, this company created an electronic cigarette similar to those you can buy today, but it wasn't until 2003 that a true vapor electronic cigarette was invented by a pharmacist in China.

3. E-Cigs Are Fire Safe & Don't Produce Secondhand Smoke.

It might surprise you to learn that the top cause of residential fires is unattended cigarettes. These fires cause many injuries and deaths each year. However, if you were to smoke E-Cigs instead, you would completely eliminate this danger. E-Cigarettes produce no smoke and don't contain tobacco, instead they produce only a mist or vapor that quickly evaporates. This means they also do not emit dangerous secondhand smoke, and this frees up smokers to enjoy their cigarettes in just about any setting where tobacco products are prohibited.

4. E-Cigarettes Can Be Cheaper Than Smoking Tobacco

If you smoke a pack of regular cigarettes every day, the cost can really add up. The average price per pack varies from state to state, ranging from $5 a pack up to as much as $14 per pack. If you live in a state where cigarettes are $5 per pack, this still means you will be spending more than $1,800 per year on cigarettes. When you begin smoking E-Cigs, you will need to purchase a starter kit, which might cost from $30 up to about $75, but even with this upfront cost, the total cost of smoking E-Cigs is around 40% less than tobacco cigarettes.

5. Electronic Cigarettes Provide Great Variety

Let's face it, with tobacco cigarettes the choices are pretty slim, but with electronic cigarettes, there are many flavor options and trying them all out is a huge part of the fun. Vype Vapor, for instance, is a vape shop located in Las Vegas and they have created more than two dozen amazing E-liquid varieties and continue to come up with new custom liquids. This vape store sells flavors such as chocolate mint chip, peach, butterscotch or tropic E-liquid, as well as blends with a hint of traditional tobacco flavor.
