Spam for e-cigarette store

[Krabill]

Complete unabashed spam here . . .

I have an electronic cigarette store, so if any of you vape or know anybody who does, send them my way and if you're ever in Tulsa stop by the actual store. We've got the best looking employees in town.

Isn't it like really bad for your health? Like as bad if not worse than tobacco cigs?

[Krabill]

Not even close.

A burning tobacco cig has 4,000 chemicals in it. 59 of which are known to cause cancer. An e-cig has three chemicals - propylene glycol, which is used in thousands of house-hold chemicals already including asthma inhalers - food grade (candy) flavoring, which is of course safe for consumption - and liquid nicotine, which studies have shown is just about as harmful as caffeine. None of those three chemicals are known to cause cancer.

When you put that on top of the fact that you will get your sense of smell and taste back, breathe better, and everything you own will no longer stink like cigarettes and it makes for an honest to goodness life changing experience. I'm not just saying that either, I truly believe it. I've talked to plenty of other former smokers who will tell you the exact same thing.

I like them as an idea... what was that article everybody talks about that was on MSNBC or somin???

[Krabill]

I guess I didn't hear about that one. A google search for msnbc and electronic cigarettes just pulls up a bunch of different articles on the popularity and use of e-cigs.

[Gas Man]

But I could have the news source wrong...

[Porkchop]

The article that said they crystalize your lungs???

[Krabill]

That was menthol cigarettes that they were saying crystallize your lungs, not e-cigarettes.

FDA does not like...

Don't get me wrong, these are better than cigarette's, but you just can't beat not doing anything like this at all. Kicking nicotine or never starting it would be much better for your living quality.

E-cigarettes are awesome! They made quitting smoking so much easier for me. And if you don't want to quit they smell better, are cheaper and healthier than the real thing.

I used them for about a year, and about 3 months after I quit completely I went and had a completely athletic/lung function test done at a local University (UTA). My VO2 Max was 57 (about the same as a college athlete, I'm 30) and my lung elasticity was excellent.

Krabill, I have a buddy who is a distributor for E-cigs in the DFW area, if you're selling your own product I'd be happy to hook you guys up.

[Krabill]

That article was from 2009. The FDA keeps trying to put them down, but they simply have nothing concrete they can find to base their distrust of e-cigs on. Unfortunately for all the nay-sayers, there just haven't been any medical issues come up yet. Granted, the technology is still in its infancy, but so far they have proven to be as safe as drinking coffee.

Of course I'm not suggesting someone who doesn't smoke to start up with e-cigs. Nobody should start using nicotine, but if you do, these have been proven to be much, much safer than regular cigarettes.

[Krabill]

I'm just a retailer, btw

[Gas Man]

yeah I don't care either way and always throught they were better than real cigs.

Yeah, and abstinence is better than condoms or other measures, but you don't see people flocking to that either. :lol:

Abstinence isn't better. Sex is good exercise and good for your prostate. If you are a responsible adult, that can take appropriate measures, there is no need to abstain from sex at all.

Cigarettes on the other hand, have no benefits. You don't see people smoking as much nowadays. People are flocking away from it. I am very happy they banned it in restaurants in Tennessee. It's nice to go eat and not smell that shit.

If this really does get people to kick it for good, then e-cigs are great in my opinion.

I figured the cost would if anything. I was headin gto work the other night and a pack of newports was advertised for 11.75, and thats in a poor neighborhood

[Krabill]

Yeah, I was in NY last week and it surprised me that cigarettes were $10/pack. Ouch. E-cig maintenance is about $10 a week for a pack-a-day type of person. A New Yorker could go from a $310 a month habit to $43 a month.

Wonder how much difference there is between the nicotine cravings. Never smoked anything but a few cigars with drinks ;), so I don't know what the craving is all about.

Can't beat that kind of money savings and get rid of the smell too, if you can get the same reaction off it.

Believe it or not nicotine is more addicitive than heroin.

That's just weird to me. I used to smoke cigars with friends a few years back and it was the social aspect that was the addicting part. Replace cigars with beer, video games or music and it all had the same effect. They just need a hobby!

Cigars are a bit different. The chemicals aren't absorbed into your system with the same efficiency as they are with cigarettes or even chew for that matter...

As far as cravings go, I'm much more stable on e-cigs than I ever was when I was smoking regular cigs. With as many places as there are now that are non-smoking, I'd have to go one, two, three, four hours or more without a cigarette and I'd start to get irritated and grumpy. With my e-cig, I can take a puff or two at a time every so often no matter where I am and it keeps me on an even keel . . . and now I smell like a candy shop :lol:

I've been thinking about the e-cigs, since the patch doesn't seem to be working for me anymore, and cold turkey just leaves a trail of dead bodies in my wake.

I can't do cheesecake smokes though. What do you have that tastes like a Winston?

[Krabill]

Once you get your taste buds back I think you'll find the desert flavors are very, very good, but in the mean time, the tobacco flavors I have are:

Red USA - Probably my favorite, but the least popular for some reason. Very smooth, mellow tobacco flavor.
3&5 - Richer than the USA mix, but still a simple tobacco flavor.
RY4 - Rich, sweet, nutty tobacco flavor.
Havana - A little richer than even RY4 and maybe a little sweet, but still very good.

I don't really like suggesting one over the other since everybody's taste buds are different, but those are my impressions of them. I have customers who regularly buy 3&5, RY4, and Havana and they all say theirs is the best :lol: Not many of my current customers buy the Red USA, but like I said, it's my favorite out of all the tobacco flavors I have right now.

[Krabill]

Here's a lovely article I found about the FDA vs. the E-Cig industry - http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig11/fetters1.1.1.html

[shmike]

Do you sell the regular e-cigs or the explodey kind?

[Krabill]

Do you use a regular cell phone, or the explodey kind?

I thought you rise people from the dead... not put them there.... :lol:

Plus one on the tastebud thing. My buddy had to stop smoking for the police academy for the fitness testing. He vaped for a bit, but in the end, he just quit. The big thing was his sense of taste and smell came back after he went to vaping. You might actually enjoy it after you break that taste for tobacco....
