Joyetech eRoll-C

Joyetech eRoll-C

Very popular and stylish mini electronic cigarette eRoll has received a new version, while retaining all the functions and some design elements, it also comes with several improvements

At first glance, the most striking change is the plastic cartridge hidden in a metal enclosure with a small window to check e-liquid, because of thath eRoll-C gets far more robust all-metal appearance, moreover, there is no frequent wear out of the cartridge. Even the eRoll-C PCC changed the design little bit, now is made of metal while maintaining a solid 1000mAh capacity it was possible to make it even more thin.

Functionally, however, eRoll-C is no different from its predecessor and still maintains a very high standard and quality. For heating it uses the same atomizers. Batteries have protection for low voltage, short circuit protection and also protects the atomizer itself. Even such a small e-cigarette can have a number of features that we were looking for at more larger models.

The basic eRoll-C kit, see, among others, charging case, which is built-in lithium battery with 1000mAh capacity. In this case there are two LED lights next to the USB port to recharge. Personal Charging Case (PCC) is intended for one complete piece electronic cigarette eRoll-C. The actual e-cigarette battery has a capacity only 90mAh, but for charging just snapped it into the case and in half an hour is fully charged. And given that in the kit there are two e-cigarettes it will not happen that you are left without an e-cigarette.

The new generation of electronic cigarettes eRoll-C does not come with revolutionary changes, or does not significantly alter your favorite e-cigarette, it just tweaks and perfects its design which already has been so successful.

2x eRoll-C battery

2x eRoll-C Cartridge

Simon Cowell quits his smoking habit

Simon Cowell quits his 40-a-day smoking habit in his quest for eternal youth

THE X Factor boss, who started smoking at the age of eight, has ditched his smokes in favour of an electronic cigarette which he's even been seen puffing on during a red carpet outing.

SHEEP placenta facials, colonics, Botox, not to mention injecting ­vitamins, Simon Cowell’s efforts to stave off the ravages of time are never-ending. But now the vain 53-year-old X Factor mogul has made the most sensible decision yet in his quest for eternal youth – to kick his 40-a-day smoking habit. According to his fellow ­Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden, Simon has replaced his favourite wrinkle-inducing Kool menthol ­cigarettes with electronic ones. The e-cigarettes work by sucking in water from the atmosphere and releasing vapour that looks like imitation smoke.

Amanda, 42, said: “Simon does not smoke any more. He has got a vaporising cigarette instead. He smokes air, or rather water. It’s amazing.” The devices are huge in LA – where Simon is based for six months a year – and he was recently spotted puffing on an e-ciggy on a red carpet. The multi-millionaire, who once admitted he started smoking at the age of EIGHT, has previously gushed about so-called “cancer sticks”.

He said: “I genuinely still love smoking.

“I equate smoking with having a good time.

“I shouldn’t be saying this but, well, they’re not illegal, are they? After sex – amazing.”

Too much information, Mr Cowell. Far too much. Hopefully, it’ll be third time lucky for the BGT boss, who’s attempted to quit twice before.

In January 2012 he made a New Year resolution to stop with the aid of hypnosis after close friends and family begged him to kick the revolting, and very stinky, habit. With a few sessions under his belt at a pricey London clinic, he managed to reduce his habit from a chain-smoking 44 fags-a-day to 15. Docs then warned workaholic Simon to ditch tabs altogether after he collapsed from nervous exhaustion last summer. A Britain’s Got Talent insider added: “Simon is trying to cut down on the menthols and he’s finding that electronic cigarettes are really helping.” Fingers crossed that they do the trick – and just think what he’ll save on anti-ageing treatments.

Symptoms you may experience

Symptoms you may experience when you start using electronic cigarettes

When you begin using electronic cigarettes as a tobacco alternative, it’s common to experience symptoms as your body reacts, adapts to the changes and rids itself of the chemicals present in tobacco smoke. Some symptoms will come and go over a period of a few days. Most are gone within a few weeks and everyone’s experience is different.

It is important to know about and properly attribute symptoms to tobacco withdrawal as these symptoms are widely known, reported and studied. Symptoms experienced by e-cigarette use are most commonly the result of this process and experienced by anyone  ridding their system of tobacco.

Some people do experience symptoms from e-cigarettes most commonly due to allergies of ingredient compounds and throat irritation. Those will be covered in a separate article.

The effects of nicotine withdrawal are mitigated if you are using nicotine-containing cartridges for your electronic cigarette, but due all of the tar, carcinogens and other chemicals in tobacco smoke and the years of buildup, some of these symptoms may still occur.

It is important to remember that your body is undergoing a change. Usually, symptoms that result from the switch to e-cigarettes are a response to that change and go away eventually, usually within a week or so. If you experience severe or prolonged symptoms, consult your doctor.

Coughing , congestion, phlegm, sputum and throat clearing:
These are the most common symptoms you may experience as you transition away from tobacco smoking. The amount of time you will experience them depends on how heavy a smoker you were.
Coughing is most commonly caused by the cilia that line your lungs cleaning out the tar and mucus. Your body is in the process of cleaning out all of the junk coating the surface of your tissues and will cough it up in the form of phlegm. It’s not pretty, but think of it as a makeover on the inside. This is a good thing.
Studies have shown that this process begins within a few days. You will most likely experience a morning cough for about a week, and clearing for up to a month. Recommendation: Consume lots of water to help this process along. For sinus congestion, take an over-the-counter medication until it dissipates.

Hoarseness:
Related to the coughing and throat clearing process above, all of that tissue regeneration can give you a froggy-sounding voice.  Recommendation: Suck on throat lozenges and drink lots of water to sooth your throat.

Increased instances of the common cold:
Studies have shown that colds are more prevalent during this period (see reference). As your body is ridding itself of toxins and adapting to change, your immune system is working overtime. Recommendation: Take it easy, drink lots of water and take vitamins to help your body along.

Acne:
Also known as the “quit zits”, mild breakouts are a common occurrence. They are the result of the body releasing toxins and more prevalent with those who experienced breakouts at a young age. This will pass as your body adjusts.

Mouth Ulcers:
A scientifically studied symptom that can occur when you quit tobacco, mouth ulcers are small legions on the roof of your mouth, gums and the inside of your cheeks (see reference). Smoke is an irritant and your gums and mouth tissues build up a “crust” over time. As your body sloughs off and replaces damaged tissue with new, healthy tissue, these small lesions may develop.
Recommendation: Rinse your mouth often with water to help control irritation and promote healing.

Hiccups:
This annoying symptom has been documented in the use of cessation aids like nicotine gums as people swallow nicotine into their stomach. While not damaging, it can be very annoying.
This may also occur with e-cigarettes if you hold the vapor in your mouth and the nicotine finds its way into your saliva. Recommendation: To prevent this, avoid holding the vapor in your mouth and breathe it in instead.

Heartburn:
Heartburn or acid reflux symptoms can be attributed to quitting smoking, but it can also be caused by too much nicotine. Recommendation: Try lowering your nicotine strength. If the problem persists for over a week, consult your doctor.

Headaches, Nausea, Shaking:
When switching to e-cigs, you are most likely experiencing some change in your nicotine consumption. It may be more or less than your body is accustomed to. This fluctuation can cause these symptoms which shouldn’t last more than a few days. Recommendation: Try different nicotine strengths until you settle into one that suits your needs and make adjustments slowly.
Insomnia and dreams
Your body is going through changes and this life change also can affect you psychologically. Many people find an increased sensitivity to caffeine during this time. Recommendation: Try drinking less coffee and tea or make them weaker until the sleeplessness subsides.

Dizziness:
Switching away from tobacco can cause dizziness as your circulation increases. Your brain is getting more oxygen! This should only last for a brief period of time until you adjust.
A second cause of dizziness can be attributed to too much nicotine from your e-cigarette. If you find yourself puffing on it all day, you may need to alternate between high and low nicotine strengths. Or you may be using a nicotine strength that is too high for you. If the problem persists, consult your doctor.
Itching, tingling, prickling
Have patience. These symptoms (if mild) are only due to increased circulation. They should disappear in a few weeks.

Changing sense of taste:
As your body rids itself of tar, chemicals and tissue buildup, you will notice an increased ability to taste and smell. Things that were good before may taste too salty or too strong and foods your previously found bland may all the sudden taste delicious. This holds true to your cartridges flavors. You may suddenly dislike your favorite flavor and enjoy flavors you found awful the first time around! This is an ongoing process.
Another change in taste can occur if you use menthol cartridges heavily. The properties in menthol can dull your sense of taste temporarily; giving you something called “menthol mouth”.  This can make your carts seem tasteless. Recommendation: If your experience this, stop using menthol for a little while until your taste buds recover. Cough drops have also been reported to help.

Muscle cramps, spasms and aches:
As more oxygen enters your system and circulation improves, you may experience some aches and pains. This is a normal part of flushing out your system and regeneration after you stop smoking tobacco.
It can also be a symptom of dehydration. E-cig ingredients can have a drying effect on your mouth and body. Drink lots of water to counteract any dehydration.
Gas
This may last a few weeks. Recommended: Stay away from gassy foods like beans, cabbage and broccoli.
Diarrhea
You may experience this when you stop using tobacco, but it could also be intolerance to PG (propylene glycol). Try switching to a VG (vegetable glycerin) based

Best Ways to Quit Smoking?

Have You Discovered the Best Ways to Quit Smoking?

I've never found anyone in the world who can quit smoking successfully in an instant. The truth is, it takes such hard efforts to really quit smoking and some people even smoke harder than before after spending several weeks without smoking any cigarette. We all know that smoking is dangerous to our health and those smokers do. Yet, they still find it hard to get rid of this habit and start a new healthy lifestyle. Quitting smoking is a vital decision to accomplish though only one compared to a thousand of people can be successful enough in accomplishing this. You can find out several methods offered through e-books, health magazines, and several articles that you can find through the Web. There are so many ways—from the most modern until the most traditional ones. Based on recent research, none of those ways are proven to be effective.

Actually, the best ways to quit smoking is by opting for electronic cigarettes. It makes sense because this device can provide the feeling like real smoking on conventional cigarettes. This battery operated device can provide what tobacco cigarettes offer without all those dangerous substances which are available to them. Most manufacturers of e-cigarettes have designed and created those devices with a chamber which can turn liquid nicotine into a vapor puff. So, smokers can still feel the nicotine without getting the risk of their health like what they have when they smoke real cigarettes. It is the nicotine cartridges which are available in various levels in which smokers can opt. So, anyone who is about to reduce their nicotine amount can just choose various cartridges, until he can stop smoking.

There should be no worry about the price because electronic cigarettes can be much cheaper compared to conventional tobacco cigarettes. One can count how many packs of tobacco cigarettes that he smokes daily and if he opts for a package of electronic cigarette with several cartridges, chargers and some flavor options, he can save much money because he can inhale the cigarette many times a day and for several years. Surely, one is still dealing with nicotine and this substance has an addictive feature. This electronic cigarette is surely the best thing for those who want to stop smoking. This is not for those who do not smoke at all, but they want to try one.

e-Cigarettes have various flavors of menthol to strawberry flavors. They are available in extensive choices so that anyone can opt, based on their tastes. There are even electronic cigarettes which are especially designed for ladies. They are mostly available in various interesting colors and gorgeous design so that ladies will feel gorgeous and comfortable at the same time when using them. If you are interested in having one because of your strong desire to stop smoking, try to browse the internet to find the best products of electronic cigarettes which are available in various sizes, shapes and sizes. Most of the designs are sophisticated enough for anyone to hold. Prices are also varied from one manufacturer to another. Make sure you choose from reputable manufacturer so that you can rest assured that you have purchased the right product and can use it for a longer time.

Electronic cigarettes seem to work

Electronic cigarettes seem to work, psychologically and physically

Since many of my patients have reported using electronic cigarettes to successfully stop smoking, I now recommend the devices to anyone who has tried to quit smoking cold turkey and failed.
And I think it is time that other doctors do, too.
Electronic cigarettes combine a mouthpiece, which contains liquid (including nicotine), an atomizer (which heats the liquid and turns it into vapor), a battery and an LED tip that glows like the tip of a lighted cigarette.
While early versions of the electronic cigarette date back to 1963, with a patent awarded to inventor Herbert Gilbert, the modern versions of electronic cigarettes—the basis for big brands in the industry, such as LOGIC and Blu—were introduced at the beginning of this century.
The reason my patients tell me electronic cigarettes work better than the patch or nicotine gum is that they simulate the act of smoking, but not perfectly.  They are good enough to substitute for real cigarettes, but they aren’t good enough to become an addiction, in and of themselves.  An analogy in the arena of food addiction would be something low calorie that fills you up enough to prevent bingeing on sweets, gives you some distance from that addiction, but then becomes forgettable, because it isn’t really all that compelling.
It is, of course, imperative that the electronic cigarette be a good-enough fake.  And, on this count, LOGIC seems to have a slight psychological advantage, given what patients tell me is a very realistic smoking experience—but not too realistic, as noted above.  Interestingly enough, the LOGIC brand seems to be the best-selling one in New York City, perhaps because of these factors.
There is certainly controversy about whether electronic cigarettes are harmless.  Critics note that they do, of course, contain nicotine (which is the whole idea, after all).  And critics have also found other substances in the vapor released by electronic cigarettes—even cancer-causing substances, but in tiny, tiny amounts that proponents of the devices claim would have no negative effect on well-being at all.
What no one seems to argue about is that electronic cigarettes—from LOGIC or Blu or any leading brand—are not nearly as dangerous as smoking real cigarettes.  LOGIC claims its device avoids 4,000 toxins that are found in cigarettes.
Given my experiences and those of numerous clinicians I have spoken with, it would seem to be a good time to conduct large scale clinical trials in which patients who smoke are given electronic cigarettes by their doctors, encouraged to use them and then quizzed on their use of real tobacco weeks and months and years later.  If the data generated support the product, then it may be wise for medical insurance companies to offer electronic cigarettes to smokers for free.  My bet is they would save lots of money—from the costs of treating heart disease and cancer—down the road.

Some smokers turning to e-cigarettes for fix

By Rodger Mullen
Staff writer

Andy Stockert loves his cigars. But he can't smoke them in the Harnett County barn where he keeps his horses.

So a couple of years ago, Stockert switched to electronic cigarettes. He puffs them when he can't light up the cigars he prefers.

Beyond the practical benefit of being able to smoke in places where it's normally outlawed, Stockert says e-cigarettes have other advantages over traditional smoking.

"They don't leave that nasty breath," Stockert said. "They don't leave an odor when you use them."

Since North Carolina banned most indoor smoking in January 2010, e-cigarettes have emerged as an alternative. Smokers have been lighting them up in bars and restaurants, where tobacco is not permitted.

"I see people walking around smoking them all the time," said Ben Anstead, manager of Anstead's Tobacco Co. in Cross Creek Mall. "I've had a number of people who say, 'If you're going to smoke, smoke an e-cigarette.' "

Electronic cigarettes are electrical or battery-powered inhalers that vaporize a liquid solution into an aerosol mist, which the user inhales. They contain no tobacco, but most do use nicotine.

The amount of nicotine in an e-cigarette varies depending on the type of liquid used. Some solutions contain no nicotine, while others have as much or even more than regular cigarettes.

The cigarettes come with chargers that can be plugged into home or car adapters. Many companies offer a variety of flavors, including tobacco, menthol or even grape and strawberry.

Anstead said he started selling e-cigarettes a few years ago. He said there was an initial flurry of interest in the product, but it gradually subsided over time.

"We used to have a waiting list," he said. "We couldn't get them in fast enough."

Anstead said he attributes the drop-off in sales to the fact that more places, including many convenience stores, are now selling e-cigarettes. Today, Anstead said he probably sells four or five kits a month of Encore brand e-cigarettes.

Blinded by Ideology

Anti-Smoking Advocates are Widely Misleading the Public into Thinking that Electronic Cigarette Use is a Form of Smoking

In BBC News article about electronic cigarettes, anti-smoking advocates from three leading national tobacco control organizations are misleading the public into thinking that vaping is a form of smoking and that electronic cigarette use is essentially the acceptance of, and adoption of smoking.

According to the article, here are the reactions of three of the leading national tobacco control organizations to the emergence and skyrocketing growth of the electronic cigarette market:

Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights

"'It feels like what they're trying to do is re-establish a norm that smoking is okay, that smoking is glamorous and acceptable,' says Cynthia Hallett, executive director of Americans for Non-Smokers' Rights."

American Legacy Foundation

"The blu advert stokes the spirit of rebellion that appealed to smokers when they first started as adolescents, says David Abrams, executive director of the Schroeder Institute for Tobacco Research and Policy Studies at Legacy, an anti-tobacco organisation. This time around, instead of defying parents and teachers, the ad encourages smokers to rebel against more recent anti-smoking social norms. 'They're capitalising on that with adult smokers by basically saying 'don't let society tell you what to do',' Abrams says. 'You have the freedom to smoke. Thumb your nose at the anti-smoking policies and the FDA.'"

The Rest of the Story

What all three of these national tobacco control organizations apparently fail to understand is that using electronic cigarettes is not smoking. On the contrary, it is avoiding the use of cigarettes. The overwhelming reason why smokers are turning to electronic cigarettes is because they want to reduce or eliminate the number of cigarettes that they smoke. Every time a vaper uses an electronic cigarette, he or she is passing up an opportunity to smoke. By definition, using electronic cigarette use reduces cigarette use. Far from promoting smoking, advertisements that promote electronic cigarette use are urging smokers not to smoke -- but to switch to electronic cigarettes instead.

In fact, the emergence and growth of electronic cigarettes is not a boon to cigarette smoking, it is a serious threat. To successfully market electronic cigarettes, companies need to get smokers to switch away from smoking and towards vaping. Electronic cigarettes are primarily designed for smoking cessation or cigarette use reduction. In the first clinical trial of these products, 54% of smokers who were unmotivated to quit were successful in either quitting smoking completely or cutting down on their smoking by more than half.

In exactly what way does the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights, and American Legacy Foundation consider this tremendous reduction in smoking to be a rebellion against the idea of not smoking and an encouragement of smokers to continue to smoke.

Nothing could be further from the truth. It's exactly the opposite of what each of these three organizations is saying.

How could these organizations be lying to the public in such a blatant manner?

The answer appears to be ideology.

Each of these three anti-smoking organizations appears to be blinded by an ideology that defines smoking as going through the hand motions associated with holding and smoking a cigarette, regardless of whether the person is actually smoking. Apparently, even if the person has quit smoking completely, she is still smoking if she goes through the hand motions.

Are these organizations really committed to saving lives, or are they just trying to prevent hand motions? Sadly, it appears that it is the hand motions that are bothering them. We can't have those hand motions going on that look like smoking. Even if those hand motions are saving hundreds of lives by getting smokers off of a product that may well kill them.

Electronic cigarettes are safer than tobacco

I can't help but feel that the letter published Dec. 4 about electronic cigarettes and the writer's belief that they should be banned indoors is a bit unfair, uninformed and downright incorrect. I feel it my duty, as an avid user of electronic cigarettes, to not let the community fall into the trend of allowing misunderstanding to become fear. There have been multiple studies done on the subject of electronic cigarette vapor safety and the safety of its second-hand vapor. All of the studies done so far have supported the idea that not only are electronic cigarettes safer than conventional tobacco products but, in fact, may pose no health risk at all to the user as well as others in the room.

Electronic cigarettes do not utilize combustion to produce vapor. They heat a liquid comprised of vegetable glycerin (I guarantee you are within 50 feet of a product containing vegetable glycerin as you read this), propylene glycol (used in the medical field for non-water soluble medications and in respiratory treatments for decades upon decades) and flavoring that have been used in foods as well as electronic cigarettes.

If you read through these articles and the studies they are talking about (links are in the articles), you'll find that not only are the amounts of nicotine and other chemicals not harmful to bystanders, but that they were, in fact, immeasurable by the instruments used to conduct the studies.

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1600-0668.2012.00792.x/abstract

I also feel that it is simply incorrect, let alone unfairly biased toward unfair views of electronic cigarettes, to refer to the second-hand vapor as "smoke." It is not smoke. There is no burning. There is no fire. What you put into an electronic cigarette is exactly what you get out.

Nicotine in and of itself is not harmful. It is actually a fairly mild cousin of caffeine. The only real negative affect of nicotine is its addiction potential. which, in tobacco products such as cigarettes, is increased due to MAOIs produced through the combustion of some of the thousands of chemicals in tobacco smoke. Electronic cigarettes are, as far as the studies show us so far, about as dangerous as drinking a cup of coffee in a humid room.

I hope you take the time to read this and really look into the studies and articles I've provided you. The amount of negative coverage about electronic cigarettes lately makes me absolutely infuriated. It is unfair for these factually incorrect, ignorant claims to be circulated while the media does its best to ignore all of the positive aspects of electronic cigarettes which are, as you may have guessed, actually true. We can't say for sure, at this point, that electronic cigarettes are 100 percent safe, but they can never be as bad as tobacco. Leading people to believe that tobacco is the preferable option to electronic cigarettes will cost millions of lives, and it's up to people like me and other electronic cigarette users to stand up to all of this negativity.

Polish survey

Polish survey of e-cigarette users finds 66% no longer smoke

A Polish study, "Patterns of electronic cigarette use and user beliefs about their safety and benefits: An Internet survey," was published online in the Drug and Alcohol Review. According to the abstract, the "objective of this study was to investigate patterns and effects of e-cigarette use and user beliefs about e-cigarette safety and benefits."

"The survey was completed by 179 e-cigarette users. Almost all participants used e-cigarettes daily. E-cigarettes were primarily used to quit smoking or to reduce the harm associated with smoking (both 41%), and were successful in helping the surveyed users to achieve these goals with 66% not smoking conventional cigarettes at all and 25% smoking under five cigarettes a day. Most participants (82%) did not think that e-cigarettes were completely safe, but thought that they were less dangerous than conventional cigarettes. Sixty percent believed that e-cigarettes were addictive, but less so than conventional cigarettes."

The same researcher, Maciej Lukasz Goniewicz, also recently published a survey study on Polish youth and young adult use, "Electronic Cigarette Use Among Teenagers and Young Adults in Poland," in the PEDIATRICS journal. Researchers report that about "one-fifth of Polish youth have tried e-cigarettes; most of them had previously smoked cigarettes. It is unclear whether e-cigarettes are just a novelty that young people try only once or whether they have potential to compete in the marketplace with conventional cigarettes." Only 3.2% of those who had never smoked reported trying e-cigarettes.

WHO reported the 2010 Global Adult Tobacco Survey found that the smoking rate for adults 15 years and older in Poland is 28%.

With the release of eRoll, we began to apply for the serial number. Every product has its own serial number and each serial number has its corresponding security code. They are all randomly and solely generated by computers. Joyetech customer could check if the security code is in line with the serial number on www.joyetech.com to verify whether the product is manufactured by Joyetech or not.

Before delivery, Joyetech factory would scan the serial numbers and get them recorded with the corresponding orders. We will memorize them in our company server computer. Meanwhile, Joyetech distributors would also get serial number recorded in their sale. As a result, every Joyetech product could be traceable. Whenever customers need more information from our Joyetech or Joyetech distributors, only need to provide the serial numbers. Then Joyetech distributors or Joyetech service department would be able to provide further technology support and after-sale services.

Our Joyetech will pay more efforts to provide you with a better comprehensive guarantee on the basis of current barcode and serial number.

Thank you very much for your long-term support and trust.
