Electronic Cigarettes – Godsend Or Garbage?

The electronic cigarette, sometimes referred to as a “personal vaporizer” or, more hilariously, a “personal electronic nicotine inhalation system” has been around for quite some time. A few years, in fact.

Many people look in to e-cigs as a method of trying to get away from tobacco products, many of those because they are tired of not being able to smoke in bars or of getting yelled at by their partners for smoking too much whist enthralled in Netflix or playing video games like Modern Warfare or Skyrim.

For as long as they have been around, the questions “do they work” and “are they safe” have been at the forefront.

When Is Galaxy S 2 Getting Ice Cream Sandwich? When Is Galaxy S Getting Gingerbread?

You’d figure that after becoming the world’s largest smartphone manufacturer (recently out-shipping Apple), Samsung should be on top of its game when it comes to upgrades.

The Verge Launches, We Rejoice

Now, this isn’t a concession that FleshEatingZipper isn’t the best source for tech news, because we do have the best opinions on the matter, but The Verge finally launching is awesome.
