So I started E-Cigarettes again..

February 27th, 2010 No comments

Back when I got the DSE901 & Janty Dura-C I didn’t really see myself going back to cigarettes, however I ran out of liquid, my atmoizers died, batteries, etc and guess what? I ended up smoking again for another year almost. Now I’m back on ecigs, and so far so good. It’s been about 5 days, 1st day I had 2 cigarettes, 2nd 1 cigarette, 3rd half of a cigarette 4th none, 5th none. This time I went more “all in” because I bought 2 devices 5 back up atomizers and a lot of e-liquid from various places.

What 2 devices did I order? Well from the old days, I remember really liking the Janty Dura-C which recently I found out that’s a 510 atomizer. There’s a cheap version out there called the Joye 510 now, and it works just like the Dura-C I had way back when. However, that’s not what I bought.

I bought a Protigy V2 and a Janty eGo. I’m thinking about doing seperate reviews for both these models, really all I can say is I really enjoy the V2 with a 510 atomizer. It’s been what I mainly use, much stronger vapor and taste compared to the eGo (which is still a great device, compared to the old DSE901 pen style I first got.) Oh yea and I also decided to get a T-Tip from SuperT Manufacturing. I hated always taking off the tip to drip, since that’s all I do. This thing works great, and seems much better than the plastic crap. I actually ended up with juice in my mouth more often with the plastic stuff than this T-Tip, it’s awesome.

My overall goal with e-cigarettes is at the very least completely switch, and at the most stay on them for a few months and slowly down my nicotine intake, and the *final* goal would be to completely quit nicotine. That may or may not happen, because I’ve tried quitting before, and I can’t make it more than a day, I end up feeling like total crap. I guess if I were to not do ANYTHING for a couple months then it might be possible, but as it stands, I wouldn’t be able to be productive in my life for at least a few months, maybe more after quitting cold turkey.

As far as whether or not E-Cigarettes are safe, in my opinion putting a couple chemicals in my mouth and lungs is far safer than putting thousands. Also, as far as I know there’s very little cancer causing chemicals in e-cigarettes. The ones that are there are from the nicotine which was extracted from tobacco, but in VERY small amounts, about the same amount of cancer causing chemicals you’d find in nicotine gum or the patches. Tons less than real cigarette. So from that, I’m not too worried about it. In fact it seems blatantly obvious to me that they’re most likely much much healthier for you than cigarettes. Which is the point for me switching of course, I just figured I’d give an explanation for those who have been brainwashed by the FDA, pharma, and tobacco companies. They all of course have reasons for hating electronic cigarettes, but it all comes down to money.

Anyway, that’s my plan, and oh yea cost  is going to go up very slightly for me.. I used the roll your own tobacco and it was very cheap. However, I know that’s about to change since they’re going to raise taxes higher on everything soon, so cost is actually going to be much lower in a little bit.

Lesson here is never start smoking, it’s a real pain :)

Very annoying spam

February 4th, 2010 No comments

I keep getting email from these guys, same exact message etc. The main thing they want you to do is open the zip file, and click on the exe inside to install a trojan. Guys, I didn’t fall for it the first time, I’m not going to fall for it the 100th time, so stop sending me this crap.

Dear customer!

We failed to deliver the postal package which was sent on the 18th of December in time
because the recipient’s address is wrong.
Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our department.

United Parcel Service of America.

Some say FedEx some say DHL, some say USPS, seriously guys just knock it off. Obviously they have a ton of mail servers with different IP’s and keep cloaking their mailing addresses. I’ll look into it further if I get the time.

Not a terrible attempt though, I’m sure they’re getting a lot of people installing their trojan. They have the exe packed pretty well to avoid anti-virus and have it cloaked to look like an excel file. No doubt my email was just harvested from this site so I’m going to switch up my email some more.

Thanks Clickbooth & MarketLeverage

I always like it when CPA networks send me stuff, the latest is a flip mino camera from clickbooth, which is pretty awesome. It’s small yet takes decent video. I hate carrying bulky things around for video really, and sadly (even though I could easily afford one) I don’t have an iPhone or anything, mainly because I don’t use the phone enough to justify the monthly costs.

So this will work perfectly for me, took a small video of me playing tetris on tetrisfriends…

Also gotta thank MarketLeverage for the gift cards they’ve sent over the past few months. Haven’t sent much revenue there lately, but I probably will in the future. Bought some clothes with those gift cards :)
