Revolutionary Technology eHookah Promoted as Quit Smoking Technology

01/24/2014 1:58 PM

Our society's health is consistently damaged by cigarettes and with all the warning labels absolutely everywhere, it doesn't seem to help much. It was about time that a new revolutionary technology was engineered to help us out. The beginning was the eCigarette, a small device which resembled a cigarette but released water vapor instead of smoke. It was time for a replacement for the harmful tar and many other additives that destroy our body. From personal experience, I have seen many successfully quit cigarettes. This device is very portable and can be charged through a USB or outlet. At this point, even the tobacco giants as well as vapor kit manufacturers jumped on board and started to design their own brands. Many today are advertised, some popular being Blu, Krave Electronic Cigarettes and Smoke51.

Somewhat recently a new device was engineered which gave birth to an entire new community of vapors. Hookah Pens were increasing in fame throughout the globe. Extremely popular in the United States, Canada and United Kingdom. They were pretty similar to eCigs but nonetheless followed the idea of a traditional hookah experience. Often packaged in two, so that you either don't run out of battery life or could enjoy with another, thus influencing more people to get on board.

This electronic hookah pen comes in many designs such as eGo and eVod being most popular. Many manufacturers have taken their time to add some beauty to these devices. Nowadays there is an obsession with MODs, this means people are modifying or as they refer to it "hooking up" their devices. For all you engineers wondering what this device is, I will explain. It is simply an eLiquid Vaporizer. Depending which device you choose, they may come with a different eLiquid chamber. An Atomizer is the central component consisting of a small heating element with a wicking material that draws the eLiquid in. A cartomizer has a heating element that surrounds it by a liquid soaked poly foam that is used as the eLiquid holder. A clearomizer is a clear tank where an atomizer is inserted. Lastly, rebuildable atomizers are used in the MODs where the user can assemble the wick and coil by themselves.

The liquid placed inside their tank/chamber is usually composed of vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol and fruit extract. Even though this eHookah device is not FDA approved I would vouch this being a whole lot safer than cigarettes. Either way, after doing your research of what FDA approves, I wouldn't suggest the society to base their decision on this. I recommend this device to be used as a Quit Smoking technology. Not a reason to start vaping especially with nicotine. Luckily there are choices of how much nicotine you want in your eLiquid generally from 0% up to 2.4%.

The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention which is a federal agency, believes that there is enough evidence to claim that eCigarettes are less harmful than traditional cigarette smoking. Shoppers for eLiquid are urged to be careful and do their research. Many companies undersell eLiquids that are not made in professional labs but people still choose to shop there due to low prices. Eventually this market will be regulated and labs will have to follow precise rules for ingredients and nicotine measurements.

Although I am on board with the E-cig tech, this is considered advertisement and belongs in the "commercial section" of this site....

I apologize for the confusion. I was not intending this to be a complete advertisement for the website. This is technology and research due to its nature. It is very recently built and still modified constantly. I would like engineers to see this and perhaps help develop ways to better this technology. Thank you.

Several questions:

1. How long before the government figures a way to tax all this at a similar rate to tobacco?

2. How much $ will be made before the real health effects are known and the rats scatter to the 4 winds, before the liability lawsuits start?

3. Why would you 'vouch this being a whole lot safer than cigarettes?' Having vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol and 'fruit extract' condense on the lung lining doesn't sound too healthful to me.

My main concern would be replacing a habit with known harmful effects with a habit with unknown effects based on the baseless promises of those who stand to make a quick buck.

If the government will figure out a way to tax it, it'll be the eliquid that becomes taxed not the vaporizer and what I have noticed from experience, the nicotine free eLiquid is most popular.

The center of disease control already stated eCigs are "proven cessation strategies and treatments, including counseling and FDA-approved cessation medications" This product should be promoted to quit smoking not to start vaping as some websites try to do. This just has to regulated for youth users not to purchase.

It's "The Center For Disease Control". Not "the center of disease control".

There is already a Vapor Parlor in my fair city. I hope it fails quickly.

What happened to those clumsy enforcers that LynDoor Sentry Systems sent to you as an aid in catching the sons-of-biscuiteaters that were stealing the bronze plaques from your statuary displays?

If they're still functional, and if the ammunition has not been depleted, send them down to the parlor for an afternoon.

Nope, they got three girls in the reform school down the street pregnant and I had to ship them out.

They caused quite a commotion, till I paid 'em off. The girls, that is.

<Was just repeating what SE had already said. Deleted>

E-cigs are not harmless anyway. Neither is your contraption, I'm sure.

Why not JUST QUIT!

I know there's a lot of unknows with the "vaping" trend, but it's difficult to believe it could be more harmful than all the known carcinogens in smoke. I am currently using an ecig as a replacement for a 20+ year smoking habit. My last "real" smoke was back in early November of 2013. It's hard to argue with Lyn's "Just quit", but as many have found, nicotine is a highly addictive substance, and very difficult to "just quit". The beauty of the ecig setup is the ability to easily control the amount of nicotine in the vapor. This allows the user to gradually reduce the level, making it much easier to put it down for good, if the user so chooses.

I had tried multiple times in the past, to quit smoking, with little success. I would certainly recommned this to anyone as a means of smoking cessation. One troubling trend that seems to be developing though, is the younger crowd that has started "vaping", that had never smoked in the first place.

Congrats on quitting and good luck! I have helped many of my buyers quit in the past and it is definitely good to decrease the nicotine level. Here are some things that have troubled a few eCig smokers from staying with eCigs and not getting back to traditional cigarettes. Hope my recommendations can be helpful.

  • Switch flavors so that you do not get bored of the same one
  • If you feel the eCig doesn't do it for you anymore, upgrade.
  • Look through more powerful vapor pens and research "MODs" (keeps you interested)
  • Make sure you lower your nicotine level until 0.6% or 0% and stick to 0% until you can kick the habit itself. (I've witnessed many do this)
  • Check out Portable Hookahs store, the Hookah Pens are also eLiquid Vaporizers which is what eCigs are. Some styles have developed their own nicknames.
