They May Be Fake Cigarettes But Only Buy the Best Brands

When someone first hears of ‘fake cigarettes’ they think of either the electronic cigarettes or those made for Halloween. This article is about cigarettes which are electronically controlled but still give that nicotine fix that many nicotine addicts crave and give them the satisfaction of experience a real drag despite the fact that there is no actual tar-containing smoke being inhaled.

The fake cigarettes are also known by the following synonyms: electronic cigarettes, electric cigarettes, e-cigarettes, smokeless cigarettes, plastic cigarettes, dummy cigarettes, artificial cigarettes and so many other synonyms which may take up the whole page. These were all first introduced to the public back in 2003 by a Hong Kong based company whose Chinese pharmacist invented the gadget. As soon as it came out it became quite a hit. But despite the fact that the design is patented, there are still a lot of manufacturers who want to ride on the fame of this product so they can make money.

And this leads us back to the title – of only buying the real and branded fake cigarettes. Now, there are some articles which write about avoiding the Chinese made products because they are all fake. This is a wrong attitude – remember that this was invented and patented by a Chinese company so the real electronic cigarettes are really China made.

What is important is to choose the right brand and to know what to look for. There are a lot of e cigarette reviews online which lists which brands and types should be considered and which should be avoided. There are even forums and blogs which actively discuss the merits of one brand compared to another.

There are also organizations which test out the products independently and publish their results online. These are also great resources to check out when thinking about buying fake cigarettes. The organizations even have a list of safety provisions for those who want to know what to look for when they finally order one online.

The thing to avoid are the really, super, uber, ridiculously cheap fake cigarettes which one can find on the sidewalk these days. Now, the real gadgets are lithium powered so they should be rechargeable, not throw away types. Another, the tip which lights up should be LED not fluorescent or something cheaper. Then there are the materials used to make the electronic cigarettes look real. Some of the unscrupulous manufacturers actually use lead paint which is highly toxic, worse than the nicotine itself. Then there is the water in the atomizers which in the real products have an additional compound called propylene glycol. This is a very safe substance and is actually being used in salad dressings and infant formula. The really fake, fake cigarettes sometimes use ethylene glycol which is similar to the previous compound but is highly toxic.

So going back to what you should buy, simply go for the most recommended brands and sites which sell the fake cigarettes. Avoid the really cheap ones and make sure that you only buy those which have a money back guarantee. All the rest, ignore them.
