So everyone should keep their eye on the Canadian site www.smokeinstead.ca because things are changing and will be up and rolling in a week or two! Borealcool, might I make a suggestion? You are correct that the 10th puff seems to be the last puff. If you are using your e-cig with the eliquid and using 2-3 drops, you have also run out of eliquid at this point so you are really forcing your atomizer to create vapor that isn't necessarily there. You probably notice that the 10th puff also tastes a little bit different. This is when the atomizer is burning off any residue that it may have on it. Which in turn causes the atomizer to get hot and make the flashing lights appear that it is out of battery life. The battery stops feeding the atomizer power when it senses that the atomizer is getting hot. If you give your atomizer a rest around puff 9 for a few minutes, then reload your liquid, you should be good to go for another "ciggie" worth. Please do give these suggestions a try and then let us know how that works for you. In our discussions with Health Canada, they have been extremely forthright and very fair.

Unlike other countries where special interests sway policy, you can rest assured Health Canada will deliver a level headed report and guidelines based on science and research, not religion. I'm a 30+ year smoker and the e-cig has positively altered my lifestyle in so many ways. I am no longer out of breath, no more smoker's cough and can enjoy my daily ritual without all the negative aspects associated with tobacco. The only complaint I have about this product (the mini cig) is the battery's uneven discharge. I have to recharge the batteries after 10 puffs, otherwise I get sore cheeks from trying to suck in enough smoke for a satisfying puff. In other words, the battery doesn't feed the atomizer enough power past the 10th puff.

We are really happy that THR is fond of the e-cig. What THR does is great and a service to all. You remind us that we are adults, making our own decisions and there are options for us instead of abstinence. It's lovely to have an advocacy group like you! Cheers! Thanks THR Cat!

I'm from tobaccoharmreduction.org and have been keeping up with your site and think it's great. It's also very encouraging to hear that Health Canada may be approaching this from a harm reduction perspective. I am eager to hear more news from them. -Catherine, THR Just wanted to give you guys a quick thanks for this article.
