There are various versions of electronic cigarettes available, but they are all based on the same concept. Within the mouthpiece is an absorbent material that is saturated with a liquid nicotine solution. The mouthpiece screws on to the white tube, which is made of a type of metal. There is no need to worry about it getting hot and burning you though, as there is nothing actually alight in it.  The only heated part of an electronic cigarette is the cartridge which contains the liquid nicotine. The heater runs off a lithium-ion battery, which can be recharged as often as you want in a wall socket or via an-car charger. It depends on the type of battery used, and how often you use it, but you can expect the battery to last for a least a couple of days before needing to re-charge it.

The nicotine solution in an electronic cigarette will, of course, run out over time, but the good news is that you can buy refills. Therefore, you do not need to keep buying a new electronic cigarette every week. As well as nicotine, the solution also contains either propylene glycol or glycerin. Though the names of those chemicals do not sound too friendly, they are actually not harmful at all, and are both commonly used in food additives. You can choose between a range of different concentrations of nicotine solution, depending on how addicted you are to nicotine. 4mg/ml is the lowest concentration, and 50mg/ml is about the highest.  You should aim to steadily reduce the concentration of the nicotine solution that you use. Start off with a concentrate that works out equal to the number of normal cigarettes that you have been smoking (you can use a free online tool to do this) and then reduce the concentration of the nicotine solution used for the electronic cigarette on a weekly basis. It will depend on how much you are smoking now, but it is not unrealistic to be able to cut out your nicotine addiction within a couple of months.

So i have been seeing these plastic/metal cigarette looking things that burn pure nicotine and create steam instead of smoke. No lighter is needed and you could technically smoke one anywhere without the smell of smoke. Anyone know what this is called or a website where i could get one? Thanks.
Oh yeah I guess it’s a Canadian product.. Vancouver maybe.
Yeah i think thats them!!! they are totaly awesome. I guess i could keep buying flavored tobacco for it and it lasts a lifetime.
E-cigarette
Great info Zach, definitly getting one.

There are two major versions of this, though they are both essentially the same thing One is marketed as a healthier alternative to smoking cigarettes. The other is a Nicorette product to help you quit smoking altogether.

For the first, it is the E-Cig. It is a battery-powered device that provides inhaled doses of nicotine by delivering a vaporized propylene glycol/nicotine solution. In addition to nicotine delivery, this vapor also provides a flavor and physical sensation similar to that of inhaled tobacco smoke, while no tobacco, smoke, or combustion is actually involved in its operation.

The electronic cigarette usually takes the form of some manner of elongated tube, though many are designed to resemble the outward appearance of real smoking products, like cigarettes, cigars, and pipes. A common design is also the "pen-style", so named for its visual resemblance to a ballpoint pen.

The product to help you quit is a nicotine inhalator, or inhaler as it is also known, is a plastic, cigarette – shaped device, that consists of a mouthpiece and a nicotine cartridge, which delivers nicotine when you puff or suck on it. The nicotine is released as a vapour, enters the mouth and throat area and is absorbed through the inner lining of the cheeks and lips, from where it enters the bloodstream and travels to the brain. None of the nicotine is drawn into or enters the lungs, making it much safer than smoking a cigarette.

Each nicotine cartridge contains enough nicotine for around 400 puffs. To release the equivalent amount of nicotine contained in a cigarette, you would need to puff on the inhaler about 80 times. If the smoker continually sucked on the inhaler, each cartridge would last for about 20 minutes. The recommended number of cartridges that should be used in one day is between 6 and 12 depending on how many cigarettes the smoker was used to smoking. Usually one cartridge is used in three separate 20-minute sessions.

Although your body will acquire just the right amount of nicotine that it needs to control the withdrawal symptoms from not smoking, it will not receive any of the harmful substances like tar, carbon monoxide and all the other numerous carcinogens and poisonous toxins that also enter the body when smoking a cigarette.

The nicotine inhalator is particularly useful and valuable for those smokers who miss the physical action of smoking a cigarette, as it keeps the hands busy as if you were holding and smoking a cigarette. It is actually the only form of NRT that addresses the physical side of smoking a cigarette and the addiction to nicotine.
