$200 is a little bit expensive, for what it is. $200 is cheap, for what it does, if it is effective in quitting. But damn, roll yer own cigs come out to about 3.5 cents a piece, so for $200 i could have 5,714 cigarettes, which is 285 packs of cigarettes, keeping me happy for an entire year. Compared to conventional cigs, this is a much better deal. However, im almost positive you have to purchase nicotine cartriges. If this thing coup vape tobacco like a reusable Eclipse cigarette, then i think i'd buy it.

NOT the first ever

do research before you post stuff giz

"This first gadget to assist in quitting, but it may be the best"

I think they meant "This is not the first gadget to assist in quitting, but it may be the best"

Qualified by the "but", indicating a non-obvious conclusion, and also by the fact that "This first" is terrible english, if not improper grammar.

Whats up with the lone tag, "i thought quitting smoking was supposed to save money "

what are the odds another post will be tagged that way? very weird.

It'll be interesting when we all stop saying, "Hey, do you have a light?" and say, "Hey, do you have any batteries, my eCigarette is out?"

Do you have to refill the vapors as well? $200 may be costly, but so is your life.

I'm pretty sure The Onion already covered this with their "smokable nicotine sticks" article. Dag funny, yo.

for those of us who aren't gay, is there a version available WITHOUT the filter?

How much does it cost to inject cancer cells directly into my lungs? That would be the true comparison on price.

Being a 420 freak, that looks like, to me anyway, a $200 portable, stealth weed vaporizer to me.

i came across this the other day:

Its kinda the same thing.

Nope. This cigarette is only for teh gaye.

Do they have a cigar sized one? I'd buy that for a dollar.

How long until people get addicted to smoking a $200 e-cigarette v.s. a $0.25 Marlboro?

If this turns up to be a truly safe way to take nicotine long term, sign me up. I miss me nicotine. Also, if you can smoke this indoors where traditionals are banned, that would be great too. $200 is fine for the piece, how much for the nicotine fillups?

Wusses. If you want to quit smoking, stop buying cigarettes. I've never understood the histrionics some folks go through to quit smoking- it's not hard. You stop smoking. After two weeks, the nic's out of your system, and you just deal with the mental urge to smoke ALL THE TIME.

You get over it.

Now, for a nicotine delivery system... that could be fun, but I don't particularly like the idea of getting addicted again. I think I'll just stick with a cigar every year or two.

There's already a similar product called Yuyen in China that has been selling for a while-- and causing some disputes there, namely, should it be taxed like tobacco even it's pharmaceutical-grade nicotine?

Oh yes, Yuyen also has a pipe-shaped inhaler too.

Pipes are making a come back, I can feel it. Excuse me while I go light a bowl of some dunhill Early Morning Blend.

The original and patented RUYAN e-cigarette can definitely help you quit smoking, through its step-by-step program. The e-cigarette comes with high, medium, low and no nicotine cartridges The composition is as follows: 6% - 0.1% nicotine (high-medium-low), 80-90% non toxic propylenglycol, less than 5% flavouring substances .

It tastes and feels like a cigarette and gives consumers the same immediate satisfaction like any normal cigarette, without the harmfull substances that cause cancer and other deseases. Basically you smoke a lot healthier using the e-cigarette. It's your choice.

You can smoke the e-cigarette in public places, it does not emit harmfull second hand smoke. Finally I don't need to brush my teeth anymore before kissing my girlfriend :p

Thank you for smoking!

I bought the RUYAN e-cigarette at http://www.RuyanChina.com it cost USD 208 over there. It took 8 hours to load the battery then I got my first experience...wow. It tastes like a
cigarette, although not like my previous brand, but most important it gives you the same mmediate efffect. It still is a bit strange, not a lot of people are using it right now and when I go out everyone is so curious about it. The first time I smoked it in a bar was really funny, they thought it was a real sigaret and asked me to go outside and smoke. I showed them how it works, they werre amazed, lol, and let me smoke inside. To all the smokers with a real heavy addiction (like me), this really works.
I like my brown RUYAN E-cigarette very much.

I purchased one on digicigarette.com and it was only $129, pretty good deal and works fine.

The electronic cigarette is a great invention. And the smoking liquid is cheaper because it does not fall under tobacco laws, because it isn't tobacco. Yet tobacco is used to make the smoking liquid. A healthy and affordable loophole ;-)

I found some good videos about the e-cig:
