So that’s what a computer tastes like.

So, let’s talk downsides of the fun, happy e-cigarette.

The first downside is, I just inhaled the magic smoke. I can’t get the taste of dead electronics out of my mouth. Took a drag, noticed it tasted shockingly like … I can’t even describe it, and then the battery appeared to be moving toward reaching critical mass.

I popped off the cartridge – the reek of dead electronics instantly filled the air. Quickly unscrewed the atomizer. Carefully place the battery in a location where it could safely explode if necessary. After it cooled… I’m not able to get it to charge, it seems. So, dead battery is almost certain. Even better – atomizer’s likely dead, too. Which sucks, because my other one isn’t broken in, so I get to taste more ass instead of … not-cigarette for at least two days, now.

In reality, I’m likely down $25. I understand the idea of manufacturing defects, but given my business partner had a battery fall to pieces when he tried to unscrew it from his charger… It’s got to be asked: These things seem fragile. Am I *really* going to be saving much money?

Not to mention: Yes, nicotine and water vapor lack a few thousand chemicals. What’s inhaling the magic smoke from burnt electronics going to do to my lungs?

Kind of starting to wonder if I shouldn’t just buy a cheap metal pot.

Y’see, it’s not the nicotine – there’s patches for that. It’s the breathing stuff in and exhaling it.

Steam, vapor… Whatever.
