Available from: I Want One of Those - Gamucci Electronic Cigarette - Price: £49.95 Since the England Smoking Ban, it’s illegal to smoke indoors and in many public places, leaving smokers huddled outside in the cold and rain each time they want a nicotine fix. If you hate braving the great British weather each time you want to smoke, then the Gamucci Electronic Cigarette is for you! The Gamucci Electronic Cigarette looks very similar to an ordinary cigarette, but is totally smoke free, meaning that it can be legally used anywhere where normal cigarettes are banned. It also has the added advantage of letting you get your nicotine fix, without breathing in the hundreds of toxic chemicals you find in tobacco smoke, meaning it’s much healthier than normal cigarettes. Inside the Gamucci Electronic Cigarette is a tiny battery powered vapouriser, which turns the liquid in the disposable cartridges into “smoke” (actually harmless vapour). Each of the cartridges contains nicotine (available in different strengths), so you still get the nicotine hit you would from a normal cigarette. In use the Electronic Cigarette is very similar to a normal cigarette - when you inhale the tip glows right (using a small LED), and you suck in a small amount of vapour. When you exhale, you can see the vapour as you would with the cigarette smoke. One thing that does hit you is the smoothness of the vapour, as it doesn’t irritate your throat and lungs like normal smoke, in fact you hardly notice it at all. Technically the Electronic cigarette is pretty advanced, with a microchip controlling the vapouriser action. When you inhale through the cigarette, the chip activates the vapouriser injecting tiny droplets of nicotine from the cartridge into the air flow. You tend to smoke it much less than a normal cigarette, as a few puffs is all that’s needed to satisfy your nicotine craving, and it really does stop you wanting to smoke a real cigarette. Each nicotine cartridge offers the equivalent of 20 cigarettes before it needs replacing, and at £7.95 for 5 cartridges it works out much cheaper than smoking - saving you around £17 per pack of cartridges, so it can quickly pay for its self. The electronic cigarette can also help with quitting smoking, as by using lower strength cartridges each time you can slowly wean yourself off the nictoine, making it easier to give up smoking altogether, and is much more pleasant than the Nicotine Gum or Patches! There are even nicotine free cartridges available, to help you finally break the routine of smoking. The Electronic Cigarette comes very nicely packaged, and comes complete with its own drawstring pouch for carrying it around, 2 battery units and a mains charges. One charge can last for over a day, and you can charge one battery whilst you use the other. Although I must admit that I was initially skeptical about the idea of an electronic cigarette, I wouldn’t be without mine now, and it really is a great product. When you combine the health benefits and cost savings, the Electronic Cigarette is a definite winner! Many famous pubs and nightclubs (such as the popular celebrity haunt China White) are promoting the use of electronic cigarettes, allowing their patrons to smoke inside without flouting the smoking ban. Please note that according to the manufacturers instructions, the Electronic Cigarette is not to be used by pregnant or breast feeding women due to the nicotine. |
