How the E-Cigarette works


How the E-Cigarette works:
There are several types of e-cigarettes, but don't be intimated!!! Yes, there are many different brands and types. BUT, it comes down to it this: Most E-Cigarettes have 3 simple components, that attach together: an atomizer, cartridge and a battery.
Atomizer: A piece that heats up your cartridge and it has a life span of 3+ months. Cheap to replace.
Cartridge: A small mouth piece that is pre-filled with polyester. You can purchase them in MANY different Flavors and Strengths. For Example, an 18mg cartridge is equivalent to 10 Marlboro Light cigarettes. A 24mg Cartridge is equivalent to 10 Marlboro mediums. They come in different flavors, ranging from your favorite cigarette brand to Watermelon!
Battery: A long piece that attaches to the atomizer. I seem to get a 5hrs out of mine; keep in mind that if you’re using the E-Cig alot then the battery life will be shorter. Then it must be recharged. I ordered an awesome Starter Kit to rotate the batteries as I go. If you choose to do the same, then I Highly recommend The Dragon Fly Starter JOY510 Kit, the package includes 2 batteries, 2 atomizers, a charger and cartridges.
As you use your E-Cigarette you may continue to buy cartridges or you will decide to refill your own. If you decide to refill your own, make sure to save your empty cartages as you go. This way you will have plenty of them to refill-and you will not have to purchase them again! Cartridges are EASY to refill with E-Juice. This is defiantly the cheaper way to go!!! E-Juice comes in all different strengths and Flavors.
How to refill an empty cartridge: Simply drop your E-Juice inside of a polyester filled cartage until it fills up, then you’re ready to rock! Along the way be sure to change that polyester every week, a little sooner if you use your e-cig alot. TIP: The polyester is sold at JoAnnes or Michaels- it's just pillow stuffing, unfortunately, it is sold in a big ass bag, so you will have enough for a lifetime. Disclaimer: Using E-Juice is Easy, Fun and Flavorful! I purchase my E-Juice from The Totally Wicked Shop as they meet all Federal Standards and quality control, they only use quality nicotine.
Disclaimer: There are an abundant amount of poor quality products out there, trust me I've purchased many of them. So, be careful what you buy. The websites I mentioned are tried and True. I have purchased MANY items from these sites and love them all.

Totally Wicked- Premium Electronic cigarettes and AWESOME E-liquid and cartridges

It was love at first sight. To smoke a cigarette without the odor, harmful fillers and additives, and no with no secondhand smoke. I have missed smoke inside the house and in public places. Thats why I entered the world of E-Cigarettes. The benefits were worth the exploration and its cost. However, it did take alot of trial and error. It was difficult finding the products that completely satisified my smoking censation.
After numerous atttempts a ton of money, I have found the very best e-cigarette products. My research consisted of ordering from 4 different websites and physically and purchasing 3 e-cigarettes and their cartridges from 3 different retail Smoke Shops. I found that most smoke shops are not selling them, as most of them acted like they had no idea of what they were or they say the"profit margin is too small to carry them". My local Smoke shop owner told me that the warrenty on the e-product are too problematic for him. ,As most the e-cigarettes he sold fell apart or broke down. So, he stopped selling them.
Additionally, I had a chat with the Largest Cigarette and Cigar Retail Seller and Wholesaler Vendor in California. He confirmed "that the profit margin on e-products are minimal, and many e-cig companies carry poorly made e-cigarettes and e-cartridges". He also mentioned that most of the products come from oversees.
My journey to find the ideal product included lots of money $1500 and tons of reading and research on chemicals. However, it was worth it! I have 2 Vendors that carry reputable products and they follow all USA regulations.

My Yorkiepoo was purchased from Anna Bernadani




People ask me all the time: 'where did you get your dog?'. She is extremely sweet and cute. My dog Chloe, who is a second child to me was born with seizures and a livershunt. To Date, she is 6yr old, Chloe was sold to me by a Anna Bernadani Pet store- She is always changing the shops name, I think it is called Maltipoos and More now.

Chloe was born with a Liver shunt, that is a congenital defect. Chloe's has days were she has pain. She has had scans and biopsies, totalling $5,000. Then finally we obtained her diagnoses. For 5yrs she has been on 3 different medications, 2 to 3 times a day. Most the time she has to be fed by a syringe. Many vets/emergency clinics milked my situation for every penny we had. The only Vet that has been our Angel is Doctor Steve Liebal at Hermosa Animal Hospital on the City of Hermosa Beach, CA. He immediately knew what was wrong, charged fairly for the biopsy and test and gave me free samples of meds when he could. God Bless him.

As it turns out there is a large community in Southern California that has banned together to try to stop Anna Bernadani, including SEACCA.
Many of us had purchased puppy's from Anna Bernadani. Turns out, She has a list of violations a mile long, from docking tails without a license to selling puppy's with parvo, and congenital defects such as bad livers. She runs a glorified puppy grooming and dog retail store, but looks are very deceiving. A couple years there was a CBS story done on her named: "Selling Sick Pets?" (CBS2 undercover investigation)

You can find many articles about her on the Internet, she has been in and out of court, charged with multiple counts and yet again "HER BUSINESS IS STILL THRIVING". I have included some more info about her, just in case anyone is interested.

The experiences told in these Ripoff Reports are not very different from what I dealt with:
-http://j.mp/6p3E7e
-http://j.mp/67rYB0
-http://j.mp/5FfY7q

"NORWALK PET STORE RAIDED - 2ND TIME IN TWO YEARS" (SEAACA):
-http://j.mp/7p5oA7

"Selling Sick Pets?" (CBS2 undercover investigation)
-http://j.mp/7sitM5

There is a lot more about Anna that you can find online. She has operated under many names:
-Anna Berardini
-Anna Beradini
-Anna Bernadini
-Anna Gabriel
-Anna's Pet Grooming
-Norwalk Pet Grooming
-California Cockapoos
-Cockapoo Connection
-MaltiPoos and More


Furthermore, its not just Anna Bernadini who is selling sick puppies. Unfortunately, its everywhere. We had purchased a dog in a mall store a few years back. The poor guy had a Kennel Cough and was really sick, he never did get better. AND WE DIDN'T write about him on the Internet.
What I would like to stress is that anyone looking for a dog should really do there homework on its background. Not just superficially either.
