I always thought the idea of a nicotine atomizer was interesting; firstly because it could never be as cool as dragging a Marlboro, but secondly that it would be a relatively pure and metered ingestion. I've never been impressed with tobacco/nicotine as a recreational drug, but after coming onto one or more studies about attention decifit due to sleep deprivation (that nicotine apparently provides little help to the well-rested yet a significant improvement for the weary), I was interested in a limited self-experimentation but wanted to avoid burnination into my lungs.
At first I tried some form of smokeless tobacco, but apparently I did something wrong because the two times I tried it, I wanted to puke for 30 mins. afterward. I decided to abort that experiment. Then I decided I wanted an atomizer, but they cost too much. Then I came upon dealextreme.com which basically seems to peddle a bunch of junk out of China. They seem to have more reasonably cost electronic cigarettes but I never got around to paying for those.
Although I had recently rediscovered caffeine (which I have historically also not been much a fan of, and by now I am once again not much of a fan), today I found some sort of generic e-cigarette at a garage sale for 2 bucks which appeared to have some cartridges intact (along with a complete kit.) There's absolutely no branding on the thing, and it lacked an instruction manual, so I assume it's exactly the type of junk dealextreme brings in from China.
I was hoping to find a forum where people love their atomizers so I could post a picture and get an identification and maybe some instructions. Please let me know if you're familiar with any.
