  1. MHRA Delivers Outcome on Public Consultation (MLX 364): The Regulation of Nicotine Containing Products (NCPs)

    December 30, 2011 by admin

    (PRWeb UK) March 9, 2011

    On March 9th 2011 which was No Smoking Day in UK, the MHRA delivered its verdict on the public consultation, codenamed MLX 364: The Regulation of Nicotine Containing Products (NCPs).

    The results are interesting to say the least and it appears that NCPs such as the electronic cigarette will undergo a further period of research before an official verdict can be announced.

    Most of the responses were overwhelmingly in favour of NCPs (e cigarettes and other products) receiving some sort of official regulation, although how this regulation would be delivered is still open to much debate.

    Jason Cropper, Managing Director of Totally Wicked E-Liquid, responded to the outcome by saying, ?The findings are very positive. We at Totally-Wicked believe that the MHRA should be commended for its judgement and obvious valued consideration it has taken from a significant wide base of stakeholders. It recognises, as we at Totally-Wicked recognise, that our business requires regulation to support the safest and highest quality products for the user.?

    With fears of an almost instantaneous ban on unlicensed NCPs for the time being, allayed, The MHRA will organise the next intensive period of research which aims to be concluded and findings unveiled by the spring of 2013.

  2. Company Supports E-Cigarette Awareness Promotion in Times Square

    December 29, 2011 by admin

    Miami Beach, FL (PRWEB) March 17, 2011

    Earlier this week an e-cigarette awareness group known as National Vapers Club furnished an ad in Times Square with the purpose of raising awareness about electronic cigarettes. New York City lawmakers put a bill through legislation that would ban cigarettes from being used in public parks, beaches and pedestrian plazas including world famous Times Square. Since that time, a debate has arisen on smoker?s rights. This piece of legislation has opened Times Square vendors and visitors to the prospect of using electronic cigarettes which are still legal in these places. The ad furnished by National Vapers Club suggests to visitors the option of using e-cigarettes.

    The ad is rehashing debate between those who support and oppose electronic cigarettes: E-cigarette companies and advocacy groups on one side and New York legislators and the Food and Drug Administration on the other. E-cigarettes are hand-held electronic devises that produce liquid vapor instead of smoke.

    One of the companies supporting the ads, South Beach Smoke, released a statement this morning claiming, ?The National Vapers Club has made a bold statement for e-cigarette fans everywhere, and we fully support their awareness campaign?. There is no word yet on whether the National Vapers Club plans on extending their campaign or furnishing more ads in public places, but their website claims the group already has,

    ??.actively helped prevent bans on indoor use and sale purchase of e-cigarettes in 7 states and 2 countries?.has helped many local vapers clubs get set up and have their first meetings?. put out numerous press releases to mass media lists?

    South Beach Smoke, one of the e-cigarette companies supporting the National Vaper Club commented on the club by stating, ?This club is made up on e-cigarette enthusiasts who want to get the word out about these fantastic products. They are doing a fantastic job and all of us here at South Beach Smoke support them 100%?.

    South Beach Smoke is an electronic cigarette company based out of Miami Beach, Florida. Formed in 2010, the company has quickly become one of the premier electronic cigarette companies in the country.

    December 28, 2011 by admin

    Miami Beach, FL (PRWEB) March 31, 2011

    South Beach Smoke, an electronic cigarette company based out of Miami Beach, Florida, was awarded a number one ranking by Star Reviews (a product review site). Electronic cigarettes are hand-held electronic devices that produce vapor instead of smoke. The ?Star Reviews #1 E-Cigarette Company? award was given for best product in terms of price, puffs per cartridge and battery life. South Beach Smoke had the lowest price, most puffs per cartridge and second longest lasting battery. On the list were some other industry leading e-cigarette companies, but none seemed to provide the entire list of qualities needed to obtain a first place ranking quite as much as South Beach Smoke.

    South Beach Smoke?s product was reviewed and found to have superior quality and lower price than other e-cigarette products. Their puffs per cartridges were 300 which was twice the average of all the rest of the products on the list. The battery life of South Beach Smoke?s e-cigarette cartridges was also twice as long as the average of all other products on the list at 24 hours. The average price for a starter kit on the list was around $ 80, while South Beach Smoke?s starter kit is offered for as low as $ 29.99 (http://www.southbeachsmoke.com/kits.aspx).

    South Beach Smoke commented on this respected award by stating, ?We?re extremely happy to be receiving this reward; and it?s reassuring that the effort we put into providing high quality products and services is reflected, not only by our growing success, but also number one rankings from product review sites like Star Reviews.? According to their website, South Beach Smoke has a ?low cost-high quality business? model which is reflected by their leading product, the Deluxe Starter Kit, which is offered at half the price of a standard starter kit model. South Beach Smoke also has number one rankings for a series of other review sites including eCigaretteConsumerReport.info, Compare.TopRatedeCigs.info and more.

They award sites by ranking them one through twenty. The top three companies get gold, silver and bronze awards. South Beach Smoke was awarded a gold medal.

  5. Electronic Cigarettes Encourage Social Interaction

    December 27, 2011 by admin

    Sydney (PRWEB) April 5, 2011

    A recent experiment carried out by the independent electronic cigarette review website, http://www.ElectronicCigaretteAdvisor.com/ has revealed that ?smoking? an e-cigarette can make it easier to get talking to members of the opposite sex when out in pubs, clubs and bars.

    The experiment was conducted in Sydney, Australia by Peter Johnson, the founder of Electronic Cigarette Advisor, who admitted that the investigation was undertaken, ?solely for entertainment purposes? as opposed to a proper scientific study, but added that he hoped his research would encourage current smokers to find out more about smoke-free e cigarettes.

    Johnson conducted the test alongside seven colleagues, who, in the name of science and research, were each dispatched to five different bars around Sydney. In each bar they visited they did a ?control test? of simple sitting in the bar with no electronic cigarette and then returned a short time later in the same position and ?smoked? an e cigarette.

    The results of Johnson?s experiment were rather astonishing; the seven colleagues helping with the test were only approached twice out of a possible 35 scenarios (seven people each going to five bars) when without the e cigarette, however, when the seven people returned to each bar with the e cigarette they were spoken to an amazing 20 times out of 35.

    ?With those stats I suppose you could argue that ?smoking? an electronic cigarette in a bar makes it ten times more likely that someone will come over and start a chat with you ? they are quite an icebreaker!? laughed Johnson. ?I actually don?t find the results in the least bit surprising? continued Johnson ?People are always fascinated when I ?smoke? an electronic cigarette indoors at a pub or bar? Firstly there?s a look of disbelief, one that says, ?I can?t believe he?s smoking inside and then it changes to curiosity and finally the questions come! I have to say I always get a very positive and encouraging feedback from people I talk to??

    Johnson hopes that the research will help increase smokers awareness of e cigarettes, the product that, he believes, could help hundreds of thousands of ?traditional? cigarette smokers around the world kick the habit for good.

    Johnson was once a smoker himself and only finally managed to kick his 25-year habit after trying e-cigarettes; ?The reason I set up my website Electronic Cigarette Advisor was to help people who smoke and want to find a way to stop? We review top brands of e cigarettes in the hope that people will be able to make the right decision in picking the e cigarette that is right for them?.

  6. Magnalight Releases Inline Low Voltage Handheld Spotlight for 110/120V Wall Outlets

    December 27, 2011 by admin


    Kemp, TX (Vocus/PRWEB) April 05, 2011

    Larson Electronics released a version of its popular HL-85-HID handheld spotlight that will enable users to plug the 15 million candlepower spotlight and floodlight combination into a conventional 120V wall outlet. While initially designed for security and hunting endeavors, the low voltage handheld spotlight and floodlight combination has found a home with utility operators. Whether in the plant or out in the field, utility operators can plug the light into a standard outlet in the wall or a 110v outlet from their vehicle?s inverter and get the benefit of the durability, beam adjustment and high power light output for maintenance and repair operations. The spotlight features an adjustable beam that can be configured as a wide flood or long, narrow spot beam. The 35 watt HID spotlight has a 25 foot SOOW chemical and abrasion resistant cord and an inline transformer located near the standard straight blade wall plug. The HL-85-HID-110V inline handheld spotlight is available for 110/120V, 220V or any other voltage to 277V on 50/60 Hz for domestic or international use. The low voltage handheld spotlight is priced just over $ 400, draws only 3 amps and delivers 3200 lumens. Accessories include a magnetic base, carrying case and a vehicle cord with cigarette plug cord.

    ?The HL-85-HID-110V handheld high powered spotlight is an extremely versatile light, as it can run on either a standard wall outlet or a standard vehicle system,? explained Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronics? magnalight.com. ?Operators can plug this light into a standard wall outlet or into their vehicle inverter outlet for 110/120V operation, but the light itself is low voltage which is ideal for wet area applications. If necessary, operators can disconnect the power cord and inline transformer and substitute a standard 16 foot coil cord with cigarette plug for standard vehicle or boat battery/alternator operation. Operators get the power and versatility of our most popular handheld spotlight with the flexibility to run the light from any power source available.?

    Larson Electronics has been making the Magnalight 12/24 volt work lights for the cable, telephone and electric utility industry for more than four decades. You can learn more about these work lights and the entire range of Magnalight industrial and explosion proof lighting at mangalight.com or contact 1-800-369-6671 (1-903-498-3363 international).

  7. The Top E Cigarettes for 2011 Reviewed

    December 26, 2011 by admin

    Cary, NC (PRWEB) April 5, 2011

    Electronic cigarettes have quickly become the preferred alternative for traditional cigarette smokers. These chemical free devices resemble traditional cigarettes, but do not contain the thousands of carcinogens. Unlike smoking cessation products, e cigs have helped thousands kick the habit. Studies have shown that smoke and carcinogens in traditional cigarettes are what cause respiratory and other health problems. Electronic cigarettes contain a nicotine vapor. Since vapor is emitted there will not be any second hand smoke. Most smokers are addicted to the nicotine. However, some are actually addicted to the habit of smoking. E cigs will also save smokers money. Smokers will not have to worry about smelling like smoke, or having smoker?s breath.

    There are numerous electronic cigarette companies on the market. The industry has increasingly grown in popularity over the past couple of years. There are many options to consider when deciding which device is best. Smokers must first decide whether they wish to use a two or three piece design. Many companies also offer disposable designs. Smokers can choose from varying strengths of nicotine. Full strength to nicotine free is usually offered by most companies. Flavors, such as cherry, are also offered by most to enhance the experience. E cigarette reviews that contain information on the top e cigarettes for 2011 can help smokers make the right choice.

    Blu cigs has quickly become the industry?s premier electronic cigarette brand. They recently launched their new two piece design. This design combines flavor cartridges with their atomizer. Combining these pieces allows for more intense flavor. The flavors offered by Blu contain Johnson Creek Smoke Juice. They are proudly made in the USA exclusively for Blu cigs. Blu maintains the highest quality while keeping prices affordable. They also have outstanding customer service.

    South Beach Smoke, one of the newer companies in the industry, has become increasingly popular. They offer affordable 2 and 3 piece designs. Smokers are automatically enrolled in the South Beach FREE Home Delivery Program when purchasing a starter kit. This program automatically sends costumers refill cartridges every month at discounted prices.

    V2Cigs offers a wide variety of flavors. In addition to their auto battery, they also offer a manual battery. The manual battery will increase battery life as well as provide a stronger vapor hit. V2Cigs also has a great referral/rewards program called Smoke4Free. Smokers who refer new customers will receive credits each time a new referral purchases a starter kit. The more customers a smoker refers, the greater their savings! The new customer will also receive a discount on their starter kit.

    White Cloud recently launched an upgraded version of their original model. The new model is shorter, lighter, and supplies twice the vapor. Smokers can still use original cartridges since they are compatible with the upgraded model. White Cloud is also set to launch their new Cirrus 3 model. This model is an inch shorter than a traditional cigarette. Starter kits are available for preorder, and will be shipped in early April.

    Smoke Tip offers a quality two piece design at an affordable price. Their Eazy-Drag System allows for effortless inhaling. They offer a wide variety of flavors, and orders are shipped within 24 hours absolutely fast free.

    Volcano offers a wide variety of starter kits to fit any budget. Their V-Kit Sampler starter kit is perfect for smokers who have not fully decided to switch to electronic cigarettes. The kit is affordable, and includes everything needed to test the product. They also offer disposables for those who do not smoke often, or just wish to try an e cig. Smokers can choose from prefilled cartridges, or try their hand at filling their own for the Inferno Kit.

    SmokeStik has introduced their new model; the PitBull. This new model, while containing a half inch longer battery, lasts hours longer than the regular SmokeStik. The PituBull is compatible with other SmokeStik products. Smokers, however, must purchase a PitBull carrying case since it is longer than the other batteries. A percentage of the profits are being donated to Compassion Revolution. This charity supported by Katherine Heigl is dedicated to pet overpopulation.

    Factors about which brand is best depend on a smoker?s desires. A choice can be made after deciding which features are most important. E cigarette reviews such as the ones found on CigaretteReviews.org provide information to help smokers make an informed decision. Smokers will also find detailed product information about the top e cigarettes for 2011.

  9. Charlie Sheen’s Electronic Cigarette Revealed as SmokeStik

    December 25, 2011 by admin


    Sherman Oaks, CA (PRWEB) April 15, 2011

    Threatened with a $ 100,000 fine for smoking on stage in Toronto, Charlie Sheen turned to electronic cigarettes to get through his Violent Torpedo of Truth Defeat is Not an Option show on Thursday night.

    Sources say it was the very same Smokestik given to goddess Bree Olson last month.

    According to TMZ.com, “Shortly after Charlie hit the stage in Toronto’s Massey Hall … our spies say he bragged about not having an ashtray and said he didn’t need any cigs. However, a few minutes later he sparked up one of those electronic cigarettes.”

    Sheen joins such Hollywood winners as Katherine Heigl, Dennis Quaid and Naya Rivera as loyal SmokeStik users.

    SmokeStik Electronic Cigarettes wishes the warlock luck on his tour and for finally winning with a good product.

    SmokeStik is used by many of the Hollywood Elite, including Katherine Heigl, Dennis Quaid, Leonardo DiCaprio, Paris Hilton, Tom Petty and many others. Using a SmokeStik instead of a tobacco product is allowing them to smoke in places where smoking cigarettes is not legally permitted.

  10. E-Cigarette Company ?Applauds? Charlie Sheen Outsmarting Tough Canadian Smoking Laws

    December 25, 2011 by admin

    Miami Beach, FL (PRWEB) April 18, 2011

    Charlie Sheen?s international tour titled ?My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option Show? made a stop in Toronto?s Massey Hall Thursday. Sheen ran into a problem when Massey Hall organizers threatened to shut down the show and have him face up to $ 100,000 in city fines. However, Sheen was able to avoid this potential fine and show cancellation by using an electronic cigarette like South Beach Smoke’s deluxe model. Inside sources said Charlie bragged about ?not needing an ashtray? or even ?cigarette? to smoke.

    Toronto is known for having some of the strictest smoking laws in Canada which include no smoking in workplaces, restaurants, dinner theaters and bowling allies. They also do not allow smoking in bars, billiard halls, casinos and racetracks but allow for designated smoking areas to exist in these establishments.

    South Beach Smoke, one of the top e-cigarette companies in the country, commented on Charlie Sheen?s act by stating, ?Canadian anti-smoking laws are known to be harsh, and we applaud Charlie Sheen for making the smart decision of not violating those laws. He?s among the many people who have found refuge in the liberties provided by smoking e-cigarettes?. Charlie Sheen joins the growing number of celebrities who use e-cigarettes, like South Beach Smoke, as a better alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes.

    Since Charlie Sheen?s Two-and-a-Half Men season cancellation and subsequent media blitz, the CBS star has been seen smoking traditional cigarettes at an incredibly high frequency. His habitual smoking is synonymous with other antics which include catch phrases like ?Tigerblood?, ?Winning?, and ?Fastball?, much of which have been popularized through his Twitter Account which currently has 3.5 million followers.????

    When asked to describe the difference between traditional cigarettes and electronic cigarettes, South Beach Smoke replied by stating, ?E-cigarettes flash vaporize liquid nicotine with no tobacco or tar, creating vapor which can be inhaled and exhaled just like smoke. Traditional cigarettes burn tobacco, contain tar and other chemicals and are notoriously odorous?. Electronic cigarettes cannot be sold in Canada but are growing more and more popular in the United States for those seeking a better alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes.
