Oh this is classic...

Quote

Krave displayed a disposable electronic cigarette that injects water vapor laced with nicotine into your lungs when it is puffed on. I mean, the Krave gets points for trying to make a less death-inducing cigarette. It loses points for its creators believing that anyone would actually buy this product.

What an idiot...

Apparently someone has no idea what an eCig is. Great to see people running websites with no actual research of what they are criticizing.

Man this guy is an idiot. Just read through the comments though and there's quite a few people backing up the e-cigarette.  :thumbsup:

This guy shouldn't be writing articles.

OK. The guy is supposedly a reviewer of electronic products. We could actually take this one of two ways.
One, that this is a disposable e-cig and I can't imagine any of us buying such a product since it's a huge waste of money. Unless, of course, you are stuck somewhere without your gear and it's the only alternative. So we could assume he meant nobody would buy a disposable e-cig.
Two, the guy is a complete idiot and has not even googled e-cigs before writing his a blog.
So I guess it's up to us to decide!

Escapist has usually good content. This isn't one of them.

I was thinking the same thing as I wrote my response.  I read it was a bash on e-cigs in general.  I think I pointed out there is a market for disposables as well, can't remember.

i think the problem with krave is that they should have used a model with cleavage on their homepage :thumbsup:

He might be kinda on to something .Think about it ,if you had a heated chamber kinda like the size of a CO2 cartridge and you sprayed atomized liquid into the chamber it should make a pretty good cloud of vapor.And your element would be safe from clogging up on the outside of the chamber and surrounded by insulation.The chamber would be easily cleaned no poly filler to mess with ,you might be able to have excess liquid drain back to a resevoir.

Thanks man, that was a very good reply. I saw that kuya dave stepped up too. Way to go guys. One of the posters was wholly unfamiliar with smoking (!) but even s/he recognized the value of vaping. All is not lost. Don't let the naysayers get you down; just be a good advocate when you have the opportunity, and continue saving your life. It's a good thing; I'm living proof. ;)

I'm guessing idiot because he was talking about how e-cigs function. The statement seems more focused on the electric part than the disposable part. If you just subtract the word disposable out then what he said describes all e-cigs.
