Find How e-Cigarettes’ Disruptive Technology has Revolutionized the Smoking Industry

How e-Cigarettes

Lik Hon - a Chinese pharmacist - was the brain behind the first electronic cigarette that hit the market. A lot of things have changed ever since, and right now we have a wealth of companies manufacturing and selling e-cigs. The first modes launched didn’t look lie cigarettes at all, and many thought that they were too bulky and heavy to be used on a daily basis. Also, changing the parts, charging your e-cig, and even changing the liquid, seemed complicated at first. Fortunately, advanced technology has helped many new companies developed thinner versions. Right now, we have lots of manufacturers develop e-cigs that look just like real cigarettes.

From conventional to e-smoking

There’s a clear shift happening in the tobacco industry. Avid smokers who can’t quit, believe that electronic cigarettes might be a healthier way to feed their need for nicotine. Some of them only smoke normal cigarettes when they’re someplace outside. Others are happy with electronic cigarettes because they last longer, and they can be enjoyed in the comfort of one’s home without affecting the quality of the air their loved ones breathe.

When the first e-cig was released on the market, over a decade ago, everyone was crazy to know more about what it can do. How did it work? But as soon as they’ve understood the process, they started finding glitches. Liquid spills, faulty pens, and extra costs involved to purchase chargers had quite the impact on the industry. Fortunately, technology has advanced and today’s e-cigs are better than ever. They’re lighter, thinner and much easier to use.

E-cigs - an actual way to stop smoking


There’s actual proof that vaping can help people stop smoking. Many of those that stopped smoking cigarettes, claim that e-cigs are less harmful to the health. Even though they do contain nicotine, the side effects are almost nonexistent. However, the e-cig industry has grown in popularity because of the technology implemented in electronic cigarettes. A lot of smokers see vaping as a very coo trend, and e-cigs as a gadget they just need to have.

How e-Cigarettes

Experts estimate that about 20,000 people stopped smoking with the help of e-cigs. University College London mentions in a recent report that 18,000 in the UK stopped smoking in 2015 and switched on to vaping. Since e-cigs allow smokers to adjust the level of nicotine in their liquid – as well as choose from a wealth of different aromas – the chances one has to quit are incredibly high. Even though many still see e-cigs as a cool trend that sooner or later will fade away, some actually believe that the technology will advance even further.

Adaptive technology

There have been complains regarding the safety and efficiency of electronic cigarettes. Nevertheless, it hasn’t stopped the people from trying out the new technology. Smoking is a bad habit that affects millions of people every year. This means it’s no wonder some would do anything to quit. In the past few years, we’ve seen society embrace healthier lifestyle choices. The tobacco industry is taking a pretty hard beat, and the e-cig industry is the main culprit.

A conventional cigarette contains over 7000 chemicals. An e-cig only contains 4: nicotine, flavorings, glycerin, and propylene glycol. Plus, we have the water vapor that triggers the smoke, which has roughly 10-20 chemicals. Compared to the 7000 chemicals in average cigarettes, what would you choose? Even though it’s been over a decade since the first electronic cigarette was released on to the marketplace, it’s still too soon to predict where it will be able to take down the tobacco industry.

How e-Cigarettes

Truth be told, smoking is deadly and the numbers will keep growing up if nobody does anything. In 2011, over 19% of US people were avid smokers. The World Health Organization claims that the death percentage due to tobacco smoking might get to 8 million by 2030. E-cigs such as the Coil Master, and other popular brands, can help you quit. Rather than smoke tobacco, don’t you think you’re on the safe side with vaping? There are hundreds of different flavors you can try, as well as different nicotine liquids that you can adjust to get the right mix and satisfy your need for a cigarette.
 

The New Macbook Pro 13 Soon To Be Released

The New MacBook has snatched the majority of the features lately, yet Apple has invigorated some of its MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs as well - with the exception of one.
The New Macbook Pro 13 Soon To Be Released
While the 15-inch MacBook Pro is sitting tight for Intel's most current Core i7 processors, the 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro has gotten a few progressions that make it a huge update. A move up to Intel's most current Broadwell CPU, alongside a weight touchy Force Touch Trackpad are the most huge of the parcel. It’s truly one of a kind and would be available with the latest laptop coupons. However, here are a few things which makes it simply awesome.

Outline:


All things considered, it’s nothing new. The 13-inch Macbook Pro hasn't had a radical update, and its shape, measurements, weight and port setups are indistinguishable to the active model. That implies two Thunderbolt 2 ports, a USB 3.0 port, an earphone jack and a MagSafe 2 port on the left, and a second USB 3.0 port, SDXC card opening and HDMI 1.4 port on the privilege.

The screen determination is 2,560 x 1,600 pixels, yet you really get the screen land of a 1,280 x 800 pixel-determination show because of the pixel-multiplied impact that gives Retina-like sharpness. Applications like SwitchResX permit you to get to considerably higher resolutions than OS X permits, extending as far as possible up to 3,360 x 2,100.

Content is so small it couldn't be possible be decipherable at that setting, yet picking one in the middle of, for example, 1,920 x 1,200, gives you a chance to fit significantly more of spreadsheets and different applications into the showcase than any of the default screen resolutions at the lavish of clarity.

Still, even on the four default resolutions there's a lot of space for even the most screen-escalated master applications, and OS X Yosemite's divisive configuration looks vastly improved on Retina shows than it does on lower thickness screens.

It's a disgrace that Apple hasn't shaved even a millimeter or two off the MacBook Pro with Retina's undercarriage. The 2013 MacBook Pro with Retina was 25% more slender than its forerunner, and it had an immense effect to that machine's versatility and general bid. Without a doubt, Apple has outed the new MacBook which will pull in the meager and-light tablet extremists, however those of us obliging power, ports and the majority of the rest would have still admired a marginally slimmer model.

Feel the power:

The main outside change is something you can't see: the way the trackpad lives up to expectations. The MacBook Pro has another, non-mechanical Force Touch trackpad, which gives material input and can distinguish different levels of power. Case in point, you may press to quick forward a feature and press harder to speed it up additional.

For the present, the haptic input just repeats the inclination of clicking a mechanical trackpad (something it does splendidly - you truly feel like you're squeezing a genuine catch), yet over the long run Apple is prone to discover different uses for the weight delicate innovation. You can modify the affectability of the trackpad and the quality of its criticism in System Preferences, keeping in mind you're there you may need to re-empower the three-finger drag; its exchanged off as a matter of course now.

Interestingly, Apple hasn't put its new MacBook console into the Pro models just yet, so you get the recognizable chiclet keys with a scissor system underneath. To our fingers they aren't as agreeable as the non-chiclet consoles in the first Intel MacBook Pros, yet perhaps we're simply being nostalgic. All things considered, in case you're about the writing, the MacBook Air is somewhat more agreeable.
 

Cheap and Best Android 4.4 KitKat Smartphones in India

Cheap and Best Android 4.4 KitKat Smartphones in India

Motorola - A Google Company had launched Moto X and Moto G in India last year. These new Motorola phones received a massive reception from the public, and it was so overwhelming was that Flipkart(online retailer), the exclusive Motorola smartphones seller in India, had a tough time meeting the market demand.

The company now launched Moto E twice last month (May 14th & 23, 2014), and on both occasions the stock ran out within hours. The episode sent other domestic players on a launching spree, flooding the market with similar low-cost Android smartphones.

With Moto E stocks running dry on Flipkart at the moment, the void has opened a window of opportunity for other brands, giving them a chance to sell their products.

Prospective consumers, who are planning to migrate from feature phones to a pocket friendly smartphones with the latest Android KitKat software, could either wait for Moto E stocks to return or go for the newly launched LG L40 Dual, Lava Iris X1, Micromax Unite 2 A106 or Xolo Q600s.

Here is a comparison of these Android smartphones:

The next group forms the gadget geeks who are interested in purchasing the laptop that is sophisticated and looks good.

10 Websites to Sell or Donate Your Old Gadgets

These days, our attention spans aren’t what they used to be. A decade ago, when we’d go out to buy a computer or a camera, we’d see it as an investment- something that would last until it would burn out and die. However, today, our electronics are simply commodities that we go out and get until the next big “it” device is released.
10 Websites to Sell or Donate Your Old Gadgets

So, what should you do with your older gadgets? Don’t let them sit too long collecting dust; devices under three years old are still worth some value. There are plenty of online locations that will either buy your items or will collect them for donation.

Here are the top 10 websites that will either buy or donate your old gadgets

1. Gazelle.com

Gazelle allows people to sell their cellphones and Apple devices for cash. Not only can you access the value of your product before agreeing to sell it, but Gazelle also pays for all shipping and boxing. Payments are paid via PayPal, check or Amazon.com gift card-whichever you personally prefer.

10 Awesome Gadgets For Lazy People

10 Awesome Gadgets For Lazy People

Here are ten great gadgets that are ideal for the average lazy person who has more money than physical motivation. Most of the gadgets are very expensive, and some of them may point towards how technology is going to turn out in the future.

1. The Mechanized Raking Machine

This is a device that sweeps up your leaves and grass across your lawn. It has brushes on the front for smaller items and a conveyer belt across the top for picking up bigger leaves and other such items.

2. Husqvarna Lawn Mower

This is an automatic lawn mower that is becoming slightly more popular, but still has a way to go. It is currently the best one on the market because it jams that least, and requires less maintenance than the others. There are also solar powered ones, but you do need to charge them up at the sockets in most cases. They are great for very lazy but rich people, but are possibly not worth the price they currently stand at.

3. The Automatic Stirring Mug

This is a cute little toy that will stir your drink for you if you press the button. Sadly, it does take batteries and it is not something that you can leave on charge like a mobile phone. It is a fun little toy that they could improve a little more so that it may appear in more homes. It still looks and feels too much like a brittle toy for it to take pride of place in people’s homes just yet.

4. Self Cleaning Clothes

Did you ever see that Simpsons episode where Homer manages a country singer and she buys him a suit and tell him that his sweat cleans it. Well, that sort of technology exists with self cleaning fabrics. The fabric is covered with a very fine film of particles that are stuck to the fabric like fleas on a heel hound. It guards against dirt and grime sticking to the clothes, meaning it has nowhere to go but to fall off or rub off.

5. Robotic Vacuum Cleaners

They have been available in Japan for a very long time, but only really moved into commercial success in the west with the launch of the Roomba. It is a device that runs around your house vacuuming up. The modern ones will recharge themselves and sit by the bin until you empty them. They are fun to have around the house if you can get used to having it do what it wants when it wants.

6. The Sound Catching Pillow

This is a pretty new invention that has only just started to catch on. The range involves a bunch of pillows with holes (voids) in the middle. It means that you may lie down on your side and still have the use of your ear (the one that is on the pillow). This means that you may put a speaker under there, or it means that you may put your phone in the void. It means that you may lie down on the pillow with your head resting on it and still use the phone. It is the ultimate in lazy gadgets.

7. The GO Duster

This is one of those gadgets that you see on shopping channels. It is a duster that spins around. This means that all you have to do is hold it near a dusty surface and it will do all of the dusting for you. If they were to have a vacuum hose extension near the part that is being dusted, then it would be a fantastic dusting and cleaning tool.

8. A Programmable Power Strip

This is the ultimate lazy gadget for people who are too lazy to even turn things on and off. You can program the strip so that it provides power at certain times. That way it will turn off your electronics for you.

9. The Solar Powered Curtain Opener

This invention has been invented time and time again, and yet it only seems to be the really posh houses that have them. The idea is that the battery that powers the device is charged up with solar power form the light that comes through the window. When the light is gone then the machine closes the curtains. When the sun comes up in the morning and the light hits the sensor, and then the curtains open. It is clever but rarely seen in shops as the cheaper ones are often too brittle to last.

10. Clap On and Clap Off Light Switches

These have been around for a long time and seem to jump in and out of popularity. They appear on TV and everybody wants one and then after a year or two they are forgotten about. They are a simple tool that turns the light off and on when you clap your hands in the room. There are also voice controlled versions that you may like to try.
