Electronic Cigarette

by Mike on Mar.24, 2010, under Findings, General, Projects

Electronic Cigarette is quite a new product to hit the market. The tiny devices are powered by a small battery, and are the size of a real cigarette. The e-cigs take cartridges about the size of a finger nail which contain nicotine and last about the same length of time as a pack of 15-20 cigarettes.

So why buy one of these things? Well the base unit costs about $50, not as cheap as a cigarette. The cartridges though, they cost around 70c, and are the equivalent of about 15-20 cigarettes. That’s a massive difference in price. The average smoker (20/day) saves around $2,000.00 per year using these things.

Not only is it easy on the wallet, but the electronic cigarette is harmless, and contains none of the nasty things that you’d normally find in a cigarette – there’s no tar, no carbon monoxide/dioxide and they don’t stink, give you bad breath, or make you go yellow.

The e-cigs look and feel real. When you take a pull on one the end lights up the same as a real cigarette would, and the device even smokes just like a real cigarette, the only difference is that the device’s smoke is actually water vapour, making it totally harmless and odour free.

British Kings and Queens

So, another AdSense site is up and running. British Kings and Queens was built in PHP using CodeIgniter. There are a lot of pages, mostly generated from the database.

I wrote all of the content myself, which took around 4-5 hours. I’m hoping this unique content will pay off, but I’m currently not seeing much traffic.

Check the site out, I actually learnt quite a lot about British History and past Kings and Queens of Britiain whilst writing it.
