THIS IS NOT A GOOD TIME FOR ME TO BE LOOKING AT THIS WEBSITE
I AM ALMOST CONVINCED TO ORDER ONE OF THESE
JOSE CANSECO APPROVES THIS PRODUCT.
IT'S MY BIRTHDAY ON WEDNESDAY SO I HAVE SOME EXTRA CASH. I'M GOING TO ORDER THIS LATER TODAY AFTER RESEARCHING OTHER COMPANIES PRODUCTS. WILL HAVE IMPRESSIONS WHEN IT ARRIVES.
Did anyone actually watch until the end where he busts out the dog?
It was incredible.
Can't wait till someone starts putting all sorts of drugs in these.
The main place I crave a cigarette is when I'm driving in my car. The habit of driving past certain spots where I'm used to smoking is where it's hardest to quit.
I feel you there Crit.
My wife said they have a kiosk for these in the mall and I've got the day off. I'm gonna' go check it out later.
So the assertion here is that nicotine won't give you cancer? LOL.
It's probably not as unhealthy as a regular cigarette I'm sure, not that it's a completely safe alternative.Quote:

I get the idea you'd still be asked to put this out inside a resturaunt, though.
It contains no tobacco, and produces zero carcinogenic smoke. If someone asks you to put it out, you tell them to fuck right the fuck off.
I don't dispute that, either.
me either, if I'm not breathing in the smoke. then I give no shits
Anyone know of a store that carries these (Tobacco Road maybe)? It's my birthday today and I think I want to incite hippie rage by smoking one of these in the organic food store.
That sounds like a wonderful time, actually.
If I still smoked I would buy this immediately, that thing is awesome. It's like a mini cigarette vaporizer.
Needs something in it other than nicotine.
Let me know when that happens.
Hint-hint.Quote:

(hb)
I saw a kiosk setup at Roosevelt Field mall with them selling it. Wasnt even interested considering I dont smoke. I use to but only for social gatherings but never got hooked.
That's completely cool. So you're saying the smoke that does come out doesn't smell like cigarette smoke?
It's water vapor, not smoke.
Hot damn that's cool.
It IS pretty neat. Whoever said 'vaporizer' was right on the money.
Do they last indefinetly? I wonder what the lifespan is on these things. If they last more than 10 days though they'd be saving me money.
I imagine the 'shell' doesn't really go bad as long as you, you know, clean it. The battery is rechargable, which basically means you'll get six months out of it. You're mostly just buying cartridges, from the looks of it.
And an even slower death.
Well, sure, if you're going to consider nicotine a straight-up toxin, cancer notwithstanding, ok. Whiner.
I tried out those weirdo vapor cigarettes back in 2003 or something. They tasted like burnt pumpkin seeds.
Supposedly, these taste like candy.
They taste like angel semen.
like I said, candy.Quote:

I don't see these as particularly cool (unlike actually smoking).Quote:

So can you put weed in them or not?
No.
Not interested.
Interesting article about them:
http://www.newscientist.com/article/...s&nsref=health
Went by the mall today and the kiosk was gone.
I just ordered one from puresmoker.com which by all accounts is a reputable site run by a dude named Steve. I had some questions and he emailed me back quick and was a nice guy.
I ordered the Hybrid-Pilot, about 20 assorted cartridges, a thing of flavored 'juice', and a case. All told w/ shipping it was $95. Should be here in a few days.
Here's a forum that can answer just about any question you have.
Will report when it comes in.
It would be cool to get one that looks like a medical inhaler.
I'm sure it's only a matter of time.
I was smoking in my car today and wish I had one of these.
I was smoking in my car today and was enjoying a cigarette. I also farted very hard, and I enjoyed the fuck out of that.
I smoked a blunt in my car and felt sorry for all the idiots smoking cigarettes...then i farted and giggled about it.
I'm aware of the idiocracy of smoking in my car.Quote:

Ok, I got it in the mail Saturday and charged it for 12 hours like the instructions say. I've used it a little today, but I worked all night. It seems to work as advertised - you have to suck a little harder and longer than with a normal cigarette. The vapor doesn't smell like anything, and the 'marlboro' cartridges taste vaguely of peanuts and... something. It's not unpleasant, but it's unusual. I'm still figuring this thing out, but I can answer any specific questions you guys might have.
Overall, so far, I'd give it 7.5/10
What kinds of nicotine kick does it give you? Does it give you the elevated feeling like the first cigarette of a new day does? Or does it just satisfy the craving?
The 2 cartridges I've used so far have been the medium strength and I'd say they're more of a satisfy the craving thing. I have a high cartridge that came in the sample pack, but haven't used it yet. I figured I should just start in the middle. I just used it a few minutes ago instead of going outside in the 20's and I'm feeling fine after a few pulls.
Does being powerless over a chemical substance bother you, or have you just learned to accept it?
This is a serious question btw.
You should try to come off as more sanctimonious.
On the topic: Smoking isn't being powerless over a chemical substance - having to take medicine to keep yourself alive and sane is. If I stop taking my medicine I will literally cease to be. That is being powerless over a substance. Don't get all tough-guy-gay on me with that "You're just weak" bullshit.
Ex-smokers are the worst smokers.
Ex-anythings are the worst anythings, I'll agree with you 100%
On topic: So that means you've just learned to accept it then? I mean... you just bought a device which strips the "pleasure" out of smoking and just turns it into even more of a fix. When the Nicotine Injection Kit™ comes out are you going to toss $100 at that too?
And yes...
...I'm calling you weak, and I'm right.Quote:

It doesn't strip all the pleasure out of smoking either - you're just not getting the carcinogens. You've never seen it or used it. Don't get all pissy because you've found this new acetic lifestyle and everyone else is still having fun smoking and eating whatever they want.
Also: I'd imagine this is just misdirected anger on your part about really wanting a cigarette.
I CAN'T HAVE IT SO NEITHER CAN YOU
Would you two just jo into a tornado already.
You took a prescription drug to quit smoking and you're giving him shit for trying to wean himself off nicotine? That's lame.Quote:

Like you're supposed to feel sorry for someone because they're addicted to a fucking plant. This is less about Icarus and more about the addict culture as a whole. And yeah, I'm a jerk about it.. because I am stronger than the substances I was addicted to and if I can do it anyone can.
Yeah, but you used the drugs to help get yourself off of it and Icarus said he can't do that. Don't get me wrong, you're right mostly, but in a way, Icarus is too. Some people have bigger problems with addiction than others. I know you've weaned yourself off several addictions Josh, but some other people can never seem to dodge the bullet.

Also, what's it feel like compared to the paper of real cigarettes? Is it hard and plasticy?
Then those people don't want it bad enough. It is easy to be a drug addict, it affords you the ability to feel powerless and to have a pity party. The cycle of feeling bad for yourself is what helps you justify that drink, line, pill, ect. It is not easy to kick an addiction, but if I can do it ANYONE can do it. I am not a magical snowflake. I am, however, 100% committed to living my life on my terms. There is no room for chemical dependency in my life anymore. Who the fuck wants to be hooked on drugs at 30?Quote:

There is a time and a place for these things and for me, the time and place has passed.

No you aren't, because you needed to use another drug to kick nicotine.Quote:

My only fear of using one of these things, is that I'd actually start "smoking" more because I'd lie to myself and say this isn't as bad for me.
You can just take it out of your pocket and have a puff, it automatically turns on and off.Quote:

Anyway, Icarus, thanks for the impressions. I'm interested in whether or not it "feels" like a real cigarette? As far as, does it feel like you're smoking out of a plastic tube? Is the weight right? Do you have to suck as hard as that prostitute I picked up on the corner of 43rd and Harlem did to get anything out of it?
I don't smoke that often, but when I do, I enjoy the act of smoking more than the actual nicotine high. Also, I'm wondering how much of a douche I'll feel like when I go outside with my smoker friends to light one up and I pull out a plastic tube thingy.
Finally, here is a video of a 3 year old toddler smoking a cigarette:

That kid is probably already getting laid.
Lollll smoking 3 years old wat will the' think of next.
Stop posting like that you stupid bitch.
It doesn't feel like a real cigarette at all, other than it being the same shape. Much heavier, since it's a battery. Actually, that's a pretty good comparison - it weighs about as much as a AA. You do have to suck a bit harder and longer (lulz) but it's not too bad considering you're trading off your health for a small inconvenience. It's still embryonic tech - there are plenty of kinks and problems to solve.Quote:
