I'm wondering if anyone has any experience or thoughts on these new devices. I just received a set in the mail and they work great. They've designed a really interesting piece of hardware. Though in using the device, I can't help but think that I've gone from smoking cigarettes to free-basing crack.

- I'm sure you can. If you can replace the nicotine with THC********

Is this a device to help you quit, or is this just digital cancer or something?
- they've been marketing it as both a replacement, but it will help you quit real cigarettes.********

the news channel did a clip about these. It was one of those "Channel 12 on your side" segments. Some dude was complaining that it was being sold as a cheaper safer alternative when in-fact it is neither.
Of course when they tried to contact the the company they "declined to comment on the issue".Why not just use the gum or the patch?

Use them to quit, that's it.
I was looking into selling them a while ago, and so did quite a bit of research into health implications - obviously, they're not great for you, but they're a shitload less harmful than the cigarettes they replace.
Just don't go for a cheap brand, or (*especially*) cheap refills.
Just like a lot of things made in China (which is where these all come from), there's always a chance of contamination or wrong-chemical usage. The diethylene glycol referred to in JSK's link is the same chemical that slipped into American pet food supplies and a batch of toothpaste a couple of years ago - it's not a fault of the eCigarette companies themselves.

One of the peeps I was going to sell these with had a serious bike accident just after we'd decided to not bother (margins were getting shot to shit by bulk importers with cheap ass websites..) - I went to visit in hospital and seriously regretted not having a camera on me -
He was lying in bed, leg bound in some cage-like superstructure, opiate drip in arm...
...puffing away on an eCigarette. It was like I'd partly dropped back into the 19th century - the end lit up, he inhaled deeply, looked supremely satisifed, then exhaled a tiny puff of mist.

Tried on last month, they seemed ok. Especially in bars where you can't smoke cigs, they cant do anything about these.

seems like a good way to invent a new kind of cancer.

as mentioned it does only get around that pesky no smoking law

"Especially in bars where you can't smoke cigs, they cant do anything about these. "
Wouldn't you be constantly explaining yourself to bar staff (and bouncers) who hassle you when you start toking on that thing?
- Not really, the girl who had it just talked to the waitress once.********
- my luck, I'd have to punch some bouncer in the knee with my nose, and then be tossed out
