What Are Electronic Cigarettes?
What is the Electronic Cigarette?
The Electronic Cigarette or electric cigarette or e-cigarette is a relatively simple piece of technology that creates vapor by slightly heating a mixture of proplyene glycol, glycerin, water, flavoring and nicotine (nicotine free e-liquid is available) until it vaporizes. This vapor acts much like tobacco smoke, allowing long time smokers an alternative that can be inhaled and exhaled like traditional smoking.
Parts of the electronic cigarette:
Shown above from left to right is the mouthpiece (which contains the cartridge), the atomizer (sliver), and the battery (white). The atomizer screws into the battery and the mouthpiece slides onto the atomizer.
Mouthpiece and Cartridge:

The picture on the left is a mouthpiece (brown) with the cartridge (white) taken out. The picture on the right is the mouthpiece and cartridge standing upright. The cartridge is a small plastic “cup” with a wick inside. This wick is filled with e-liquid until saturation. The cartridge can be taken out of the mouthpiece by pushing a pin through the small hole in the mouthpiece. The cartridge just slips back into the mouthpiece after refilling. It can be filled while in the mouthpiece if you have a steady hand.
INSTEAD Electronic Cigarettes
We offer a variety of Electronic Cigarette Kits to get started e-smoking. Our most popular ones come with a bottle of e-liquid or “smoke juice” that you use to refill the cartridges provided. Most find this is the most economical way (as opposed to prefilled cartridges) and it allows the user to continually “top off” the cartridge they are using to ensure good vapor production.
Electronic cigarettes are not quit smoking devices and there is no guarantee an individual will stop smoking tobacco cigarettes. It is simply an alternative to tobacco cigarettes that allows smokers to continue the action of smoking without combustion. Vaporize INSTEAD!

I have just recently started the e cig it is great It has already saved me $$$ thank you
Is the nicotine in the e-cigarettes bad for asthmatics? and if so how can you tell which e-cig has nicotine in it?
That is a question you should ask your doctor. As for which e-cigarettes contain nicotine, they come with and without. Our kits come with empty cartridges that you fill yourself. You can select e-liquid with or without nicotine, it’s up to you!
