Smokeless cigarettes seem to be in a class all their own, and there are many benefits to switching from ordinary cigarettes.  Of course the term seems to be contradicting itself, but electronic cigarettes actually use vapor instead of smoke.
 
Of course this does not necessarily mean that there is no second-hand smoke or that the vapor is completely harmless.  Many experts think that these beliefs are true, but we are still waiting for scientific evidence to prove it.  All we know at this point is that the vapor is slightly different than smoke because fire is not causing it.

As you breath into the device, you cause air to flow through the atomizing chamber, which holds a nicotine solution.  The airflow changes that solution into a nicotine vapor, which is very similar to cigarette smoke, but only as similar as the vapor volume.  The best electronic cigarette should have a very high vapor volume so that it feels as much like cigarette smoke as possible when it is inhaled.

Social Benefits of Smokeless Cigarettes

Since electronic cigarettes use vapor instead of smoke, there are a number of social benefits to be had by switching to smokeless cigarettes.  The biggest benefit is the fact that there is no offending odor.  Many non-smokers do not like to be around smokers because of the odors associated with the habit.  The odor stays in your hair, clothes, and breath for as long as you continue it.  The smell can even remain in your car months after you quit. 

This smoking odor is one of the reasons so many towns and cities are banning cigarette smoking.  However, electronic cigarettes do typically offer you a greater freedom on where you can smoke.  They certainly are not accepted everywhere, but they are allowed in more places than ordinary cigarettes because they do not give off any offending odors.  Smokeless cigarettes are essentially a non-intrusive alternative to regular cigarette smoking.

Benefits of the Best Electronic Cigarette

As with all types of electronic devices, there are certain features that show you which electronic cigarettes are better than others.  While they all work pretty much the same way, some manufacturers have chosen to make their devices quite a bit more confusing than those made by others.  These devices are made up of five or more parts that must be assembled every time you change the cartridge.  Think of a cartridge as a single pack of cigarettes.  What if you had to take apart and put something together every time you opened a new pack of cigarettes? 

On the other hand, companies like Green Smoke have made a device that is made up of only two parts that screw together.  This simple, no nonsense approach to smokeless cigarettes should definitely be one of the factors you use when determining which brand is the best electronic cigarette. 

Another deciding factor involves the way the cartridges are constructed.  In some brands you will find that a cartridge is just a cartridge.  Sometimes you even have to put the nicotine solution in yourself.  The best electronic cigarette brands give you a cartridge that is ready to go, including a fresh mouthpiece and atomizing chamber. 

These two components are important because they are where bacteria and germs are most likely to build up and start causing odor and sometimes even illness.  It is vital that you replace the mouthpiece and the atomizing chamber on a regular basis, and the cheapest way to do this is if the company that makes your electronic cigarette has already thought to make them part of the cartridge, which already gets replaced on a regular basis. 

If you are looking for the best e-cigarette, I would highly recommend the one from Green Smoke. I have written a review about it here.
