VANITY: Is Rush smoking an E-Cig?

Caught this from today's DittoCam. I am guessing it is an electronic cigarette. (Image at link or here: http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/2362/rushcigz.jpg )

Does anyone know what brand he is using? I have seen this item explode on the market but don't know which one is "the right one" to get.

Again, anyone know what Rush is using? And does anyone have any recommendations?

I have another question: The ad I've seen on TV says "Now I can smoke anywhere I want to!"

That may be true -- but I would imagine that you'd be interrupted every 5 seconds by someone saying "Hey! This is a restaurant! You can't smoke in here!!!"

Visually, it looks like you're smoking -- is it completely odorless?

[1035rep]

Mine is completely odorless. I started with the e-cig 18 months ago and never looked back. Many e-cigs have a blue or red light at the end, hard to confuse with a real cigarette. Mine is black with a blue light and nobody has ever complained.

I think that NY has either ‘banned’ them already or are making a move to do so!?

[bamagirl1944]

Rush has actually talked about smoking them on his program. I don’t know what brand he mentioned.

[ozaukeemom]

Why? I am so glad when my smoker friends use their e-cig instead. I used to have to shower as soon as I would get home.

[JudyinCanada]

Is Rush a cigarette smoker? I thought he only enjoyed fine cigars.

Is he trying to stop smoking altogether?

[Grim]

I’ve tried 3 brands. The best, hands down is Smoketip.com

[1035rep]

Liberals are ticked off that so many have gone to the e-cig and that extra $1 a pack tax is not making its way to the government coffers.

I use Volcano, they’re pretty good.

I have blu but favor Volcano

[mpackard]

I use the No7 from this website http://www.ecigaretteschoice.com/
I have tried all of the flavors and the best is the strawberry. If you smoke menthol the menthol flavor is pretty good, tastes more like a breathment than a menthol cigg.
I had to quit smoking for an upcoming surgery and so decided to try these. They are really good. There is one brand on this site that you can puff without a light at the tip at all.
Definitely worth it, I really enjoy them but I couldn’t figure out how to get them aboard a plane recently.

[1035rep]

I’ll have to check that one out. My favorite is the Titan from Totally Wicked.

[mpackard]

that’s breath MINT. Sorry...
also, mine are completely odorless and I sit at my desk at work and “smoke” when I want one :

[FreedomGuru]

Rush commented on this one time...My synopsis is, he wants to annoy people by using them in public.

VaporKing.

At my mom’s request, I did some research and got my brother a starter kit of the VaporKing e-cigs. He likes them.

He hasn’t eliminated smoking real cigs, but it has made a real dent in his tobacco smoking. He smoked so much before that my mom literally couldn’t stand to be in the same room anymore (to be fair, she has always had a low tolerance level for any kind of ordor—perfume, tobacco, etc...) She can now tolerate being in the same room, so it has made a huge dent in the tobacco oder he carries with him.

They make one kind of e-cig that heats up when you take your first drag, and another that has a button to heat up the element. My brother tried both, and prefers the button.

I don’t know why they want to outlaw these things. Yea, the nicotine isn’t good for you, but you don’t get all the smoke, tar, and other stuff in your lungs either. It may not be as good as quiting, but it is a lot better for you than smoking real tobacco.

“I’ve tried 3 brands. The best, hands down is Smoketip.com”

That reads just like an advertisement.

I bought one and a spare with a computer charger and a wall charger (electrical outlet). I can't remember which one I bought, but I'm pretty sure it was an e-cigarette. I buy my oil from Plantation Smokes on line and I can honestly say I used it and quit for 2 and a half months — the only reason I went back is I missed my friends at work who were still huddled outside in the wind and cold and heat. I never saw them anymore. They DO work and are an outstanding alternative. Yes, people do come up in restaurants, but immediately smile and go “oh, okay.” No one is offended and all genuinely seem to understand and make no further comments.

It's cheaper than smoking, you can reduce nicotine gradually or continue at 16 mgs. They do make them without a tip that lights up (I heard that G.I.s were using them in battle zones for obvious reasons). There is absolutely no smell and you can enjoy them ANY where — unless the crazies decide to ban them as they have any other sensible alternatives — pot's okay — but no e-cigs. Go figure.

I use the Firelight brand. My only complaint is that not all of the atomizers are terribly effective. Moreover they seem to lose their ability to create full “draws” rather quickly, working very well one day, and poorly the next.

[jjsheridan5]

No, it is not odorless. But it is not a powerful or lingering smell. And it smells like the flavor you use, so the odor is generally pleasant.

And you can’t use them everywhere. It’s generally up to the owners of an establishment, but most owners prefer to not have you do it inside. But it is very easy to stealth vape, so you can get away with it.

After alot of research, I bought a Joye Ego kit (no cheesy light at the end). It actually comes with two ecigs, a usb/wall charger, and five cartridges with “marlboro” liquid. I knew I wouldn’t care for the cartridges that came with the kit, so I purchased some pre-mixed flavors such as Caramel Cinnamon Bun (my favorite), Strawberry Twist, Almond Joy, and Butterscotch Almond. I had my last cigarette on September 13th. I purchased mine at “FreedomSmokeUSA.com”. Check out the site. You would be surprised at the number of flavors available. Do you like Garlic? They have it. The ecigarette forum is also a good place to look for tips, tricks, and suggestions.
