E-cig explodes!

"Tobacco & E-cigs can both be dangerous,
one will kill you slowly,
the other as just seen could maim you quickly"

Cigarettes are estimated to kill 6 million (a year) of 1.3 billion smokers (worldwide) = (0.4%)
One eCig has maimed (not killed) one man in Florida of an estimated total of 2.5 million eCig smokers (worldwide). If this guy actually died = (0.0000004%)

Who is to say exactly how many lives were and will be saved by eCigs?

I know they are safer than smoking tobacco, and cheaper = more Beer money.! :beer:

When I got my first ecig, I dropped from 12 mini cigars a day to 3. A savings of $9 !!!
I realize that the tiny LiIon cell is taxed to the max on a draw but I only need a puff now and then to be good for me.
If some dude took too many LOOOOONG drags off that cell and over heated it --- He was really too hooked. Technology isn't for everyone.

Wow where can I get one of these :crackup:

FP ---
Look at DX (dealextream) !!

I just now bought one there for $4.20 :crackup:

I sense a new very small laser in my future

Maybe even smaller than this one> http://laserpointerforums.com/f38/wow-worlds-smallest-blu-ray-laser-43893-4.html#post581523

E-cigs are often made in two parts, the battery, and the device called an atomizer or vaporizer. It's just a resistor wire that heats up enough to vaporize the liquid. The liquid is kept in contact with the wire using a wicking material. I don't know where the switch is on classical e-cigs, but it is usually activated by moving air through the device. Some are manual where you push a button on the battery.

The interesting part is the battery. It has a screw connection that the vaporizer part screws into. This would lend itself nicely as a power supply for several different diode lasers of low power, instead of having a separate host for each diode. But it's a very niche market, only people who use e-cigs AND like lasers would be interested. But yeah, I just like how its a standardized connector with a name, like 501 or 801 or something like that. Push the button and there is battery voltage at the terminals.

First WL, now cigarettes tooO________________________________________________________O
