Far less Chemicals

Tobacco contains numerous chemicals which are extremely damaging to the human body. Up to 4,000 chemicals can be found in tobacco smoke, many of which make the addiction to nicotine stronger than when obtained without the tobacco. Vaporizers and E-cigarettes, while not being completely risk free, have shown in many studies to produce considerably less toxins than the traditional cigarette or smoke. While a lot of the chemicals associated with smoking are activated during the actual combustion there are still numerous contained in the cigarette before it is even lit. There have been considerable studies into the use of vaporizers to determine whether they produce similar amounts however it has been discovered that vaping your tobacco or dried herbs is considerably safer than smoking when it comes to the chemicals produced.

No more harsh Smells

It is a well known fact that smoke smells. Be it your clothes, your hair or the room you were sitting in the lingering stale smell of tobacco is not an attractive one. The smell smoke creates regardless of what you are smoking is a well known complaint among smokers. Non-smokers have a far more sensitive sense of smell than people who smoke therefore they are far more likely to find it offensive. While the smell isn’t completely gone through vaping it is significantly neutralised. Vaporizers or E-Cigarettes don’t use combustion and therefore rather than the smokey burning smell associated with smoking you only receive far weaker and less noticeable scents from your vape.

Massive Savings

If the health benefits of switching to vaping wasn’t enough the financial benefits might be. The price of smoking is raising gradually by the year. It is believed that vaping is roughly 80% cheaper than traditional smoking, with this considered, the potential savings to the average smoker are enormous. Smoking has become gradually more expensive over the past few years, this is down to respective governments introducing far higher taxes in the hope of discouraging new smokers from starting. While discouraging new starters, the new extortionate prices are also driving established smokers to quit. Vaping makes quitting so much easier and at a fraction of the cost of cigarettes.

You will feel the benefits of quitting within 20 minutes of actually doing it when your pulse, blood pressure and temperature of your feet and hands return to normal.

Used mainly for dry herb it also has concentrate capabilities a welcome trait for any vaporizer. While not a major part of the choice process, the Firefly 2 is a particularly attractive unit with a nice finish and number of new age features.
