			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems like every year, it&#8217;s harder and harder for a smoker to find a place to enjoy a cigarette.  I quit a couple years ago, but when I still smoked, I&#8217;d find it annoying having to go out of my way to find a place to smoke without bothering non-smokers.  It was after I quit that I started finding smokeless electronic cigarettes and wished I&#8217;d found them sooner.  Recently, I was sent this kit from <a href="http://www.blucigs.com">Blu Electronic Cigarettes</a> to review.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nodomain1/4681135940/" title="Blu Electronic Cigarettes by nodomain1, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4050/4681135940_f6559294f1.jpg" width="455" alt="Blu Electronic Cigarettes" /></a></p>
<h3>What Is A Smokeless Cigarette</h3>
<p>Smokeless is the key word here.  A smokeless cigarette is one that doesn&#8217;t produce any smoke because it doesn&#8217;t burn tobacco.  Instead, it uses an atomizer to turn a liquid form of nicotine into a vapor that is inhaled rather than smoke.  Although it&#8217;s not exactly the same as a Marlboro, it&#8217;s advantages include less spending, less health risks, and no second-hand smoke.  Perhaps the biggest advantage offered by an electronic cigarette is the ability to get your nicotine anywhere without bothering other people.  I&#8217;ve used these indoors in several places where smoke is not welcomed.</p>
<h3>Comparing Smokes</h3>
<p>This isn&#8217;t my first kit I&#8217;ve reviewed, so I am fortunate to be able to compare Blu electronic cigarettes not only to traditional tobacco burning cigarettes, but also to other smokeless electronic cigarettes.  As expected, the taste and feel wasn&#8217;t quite the same as actually smoking.  The taste is different, but not necessarily bad.  It&#8217;s milder and easier to drag from.  A Blu cigarette is also heavier than a tobacco cigarette, so holding it in my lips was a bit of a challenge.</p>
<p>So how does Blu compare to other electronic cigarettes?  As for the taste and cigarette-like experience, it&#8217;s really very similar to other brands.  My initial experience was that it was hard to get a good drag out of my e-cigarette, which was likely due to a low battery charge as I had no problems with a new battery.  The weight and overall feel was also about the same as other brands, although it seemed just a little smaller.  </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nodomain1/4680512101/" title="Blu Electronic Cigarettes by nodomain1, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4059/4680512101_75cf8fa979.jpg" width="455" alt="Blu Electronic Cigarettes" /></a></p>
<p>Where Blu stood apart from the rest of the pack was in convenience and presentation.  From the sleek black design to the light-up blue tip, Blu&#8217;s electronic cigarette makes a bit of a fashion statement.  It&#8217;s sure to make people ask about it.  The kit included a black box to carry your cigarettes in and charge the batteries.  Along with a compartment for a full e-cigarette, it has a slot to plug in a battery for charging and slots for additional cartridges.  An additional charger that came with my kit was smaller and could be plugged in via USB.  The second charger is ideal for taking it with you on the go.</p>
<h3>Blu Has Flavor</h3>
<p>Many electronic cigarettes offer options for light or full flavor.  Blu provided me with a rainbow of flavors that included Classic Tobacco, Magnificent Menthol, Vivid Vanilla, Java Jolt, and Cherry Crush.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nodomain1/4681131956/" title="Blu Electronic Cigarettes by nodomain1, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4058/4681131956_8dddcc64c6.jpg" width="455" alt="Blu Electronic Cigarettes" /></a></p>
<p>The added flavors were a nice change from just tobacco flavor.</p>
<h3>Conclusions</h3>
<p>The feel of a Blu electronic cigarette is a lot like its competitors in its experience, but it brings more to the table with the convenient charging and carrying options, better design, and a variety of flavors.  It&#8217;s also cheaper than I&#8217;ve seen other kits selling for.  This is a top pick if you&#8217;re in the market for a smokeless electronic cigarette.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remember when I told you how you can <a href="http://www.joetech.com/2008/04/04/smokes-on-a-plane-legally-smoke-anywhere/">legally smoke anywhere</a>?  It&#8217;s been a pretty interesting week.  Over the weekend, I got an email from NJOY  announcing what they had previously asked me to keep quiet about.  I am excited to say that I can finally tell you what they&#8217;ve had in the works all this time.  On top of that, one of the people who bought an NJOY starter kit after my last post let me know that they heard about the NPRO and are probably going to upgrade.  A friend of mine had seen the NJOY products here and a few other places and wrote to thank me for the 10% discount he got by just using my coupon code, &#8220;Joe10&#8243;.  The reaction I&#8217;ve gotten after my first post has just been so positive that it&#8217;s no wonder people are still thanking me for the 10% off code.</p>
<p><strong>Introducing NPRO</strong><br />
<img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3105/2803755106_b8631f680d_o.jpg" alt="NJOY NPRO ecigarette" align="left" valign="top" /><br />
I&#8217;ve been waiting a few months now for NJOY to unveil their new product because I knew a little about what was in store and I knew everyone would love it.  Here&#8217;s the basics:</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.njoythefreedom.com/cgi-bin/njoythefreedom.cgi/results.html?subcat=3">&#8230;available in black, white, burgundy and silver, is a smaller version of NJOY&#8217;s smoking alternative devices. Weighing only .5 oz and measuring 5 inches in length, the NPRO has the look and feel of a traditional cigarette.  Each NPRO cartridge smokes the equivalent of ½ pack of cigarettes and is available in a assortment of nicotine levels and flavors.</a></p></blockquote>
<p>The most exciting part about this to me is the form factor.  I know a lot of people have really loved the original NJOY product, but they wanted something that looked and felt more like a cigarette.  This is exactly what they wanted.  It&#8217;s a smokeless cigarette that looks, feels, tastes, but does not smell like a real cigarette.</p>

<p><strong>Why should I buy an electronic cigarette?</strong><br />
There&#8217;s a number of reasons, actually.  For starters, it&#8217;s actually healthier.  Because it doesn&#8217;t actually burn tobacco, there&#8217;s no carcinogens.  It&#8217;s cheaper, too.  Click the paragraph above and try the savings calculator on the right side of the NPRO products page to see what I mean.  Of course, most people I know buy it so they can relax for a minute with their nicotine without having to go outside.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s just some of the places you can enjoy an NPRO legally, where you can not enjoy a regular cigarette:
<ul>
<li>on a long flight</li>
<li>in your office</li>
<li>in the local coffee shop</li>
<li>in your favorite restaurant</li>
<li>while shopping in the mall</li>
<li>in any elevator</li>
</ul>
<p>I wish I had this when I was a smoker.  I was living in Michigan, having to come down from my 4th floor office and stand in the freezing cold every time I wanted to smoke.  Then there were the 6 hour flights back to Phoenix with no smoking.  The NJOY or NPRO would have been really handy for me.</p>
<p><strong>Save some cash</strong><br />
Remember, NJOY gave me a special coupon code that allows me to knock 10% off the purchases of all my readers.  All you have to do is enter &#8220;Joe10&#8243; when asked for a coupon code while purchasing.  You&#8217;ll automatically get a 10% discount.</p>
