The Brodit 272001 is designed for the person who needs to use their GPS device to get around while they drive. There is no bigger frustration than when you are looking for directions and your GPS device falls onto the floor of your car, and then goes under the front seat. The whole mission of Brodit is to make sure your GPS device is always accessible while you drive. This is a company that is devoted to making sure that anyone who is driving can communicate and navigate safely while they are driving.
The Brodit 272001 has features that make sense. The first feature that people look for in a car mount is the fact that it can securely hold onto the dashboard. This is also the first thing that Brodit thinks about when they design a car mount. When it comes using a hands-free GPS device, all that anyone wants is a car holder for a mobile device that fits securely on the dashboard. So when Brodit designs a car holder and a car mount, they make sure that it is engineered to not only fit on the dashboard of specific cars, but also grips the mobile device securely as well.
The Brodit 272001 does just that. With Brodit, you can order a car mount and a car cradle that grips the dashboard and also grips your phone securely. With Brodit, you can be sure that your mobile device will stay in the car cradle and also grip your mobile without scratching it or letting it drop onto the floor board of your car. The Brodit car holder even goes a little bit further than the average car holder. It will hold your GPS in the horizontal or vertical position. This means that you are not limited in the way that you can use your GPS device; which is the whole point of having this kind of electronic device in your car.
The Brodit 272001 also comes with a tilt and swivel feature. It is always nice to have your GPS right by the steering wheel, but you can’t use it if the sunlight is glaring right down on the display screen. With the tilt and swivel feature from Brodit car holders, you can adjust your mobile device so that you can always see the display screen and get directions from your GPS when you need to do so. One of the convenient features of any Brodit product is that you can drive hands-free, and also drive safely.
The Brodit 272001 comes in passive and active models. The passive model is merely a car holder that keeps your GPS within easy reach. The passive model is more for the driver who needs directions across town, but uses their GPS more leisurely. The Brodit 27201 active model can be plugged into the cigarette lighter socket and can charge while you drive. If you need your GPS all of the time, then this is a Brodit car holder worth checking out. It will charge while you drive and can even be hard wired into the car so that you can take advantage of other GPS functions while you drive.
The Brodit 272001 allows you to use your GPS device the way is was intended to be used. This car mount is the best way to drive hands free and get to your destination safely and on time.

1. Believe you can quit. Studies have shown that belief that you can quit is the most important trait in successful quitters.
2. You must be motivated. Ask yourself on a scale of 1 – 10 (Ten being the most) how motivated you are? If you are not at least a 7, you are not ready. If you are not quite ready, write a list of the reasons you want to quit, and put it on a bulletin board. Also, write down all the health risks involved with from smoking (Smoking-related diseases claim an estimated 430,700 American lives each year, cigarette smoke contains over 4,800 chemicals, 69 of which are known to cause cancer, about 8.6 million people in the U.S. have at least one serious illness caused by smoking.) Source: American Lung Association
3. Create a Plan. Choose an date and write it down on your calendar. It is helpful if the date you choose is a special day, like a birthday or anniversary. Make an appointment with a local Certified Hypnotist. Each day before your Quit Date, write in your calendar (__ days till I quit smoking), mentally prepare yourself that you will be quitting on that day. Like many thousands before you, choose a safe and natural method to quit smoking. Hypnosis is the most effective method according to MedScape Medical News. Plan to have water, gum, and healthy foods to offset your smoking triggers. Find a support group, friend, or a quit buddy who you can share your experience with.
4. Work with a local Certified Hypnotist on the day of your Quit Date. Show up for your appointment. Throw away all your cigarettes, ashtrays, any other related paraphernalia. Listen to your Hypnosis CD at least once day for a few weeks. Hypnosis will help you with your triggers, and give you tools to help you reinforce your decision to quit.
5. Make a list of all your triggers. I smoked when I felt, bored, stressed, with coffee, after a meal, in my car etc.. Make a second list of all the activities you will do instead of smoking. Healthy dis-tractors like reading a book, going for a walk, working in your garden, taking a deep breath, chewing gum, lifting weights, riding a bike, listening to music, drinking water.
6. Use Daily Affirmation and place in on your fridge, mirror, or at your desk. Say them to yourself 10 times each morning, afternoon, and evening. I am Happy, Healthy, and smoke-free, Everyday I choose to breathe fresh air into my lungs. Today I am a proud and healthy non-smoker.
7. Tell a Spouse, Friend, or co-worker that will hold you accountable If you are held accountable by someone else it may help you to quit. Signing a contract, may make it more official. Find a support group locally or online.
8. Daily Exercise. If you do not currently have an exercise regiment, start off by walking 10 minutes each day. This will help you release any daily stress.
9. In the beginning, reward your self each day with with a healthy and safe reward. Some inexpensive reward ideas are flowers, a book, and an apple.
10. Don’t give up! This is one of the best decisions you have made in your life. 1000’s of people do it everyday, you are no different. Write a list of the reasons you quit, and the benefits you enjoy from being a non-smoker, and keep them with you at all times in your wallet or purse.
There are 3 types of electronic cigarettes, e Cigs, or e Cigarettes you should be familiar with before you purchase your first starter kit. There are several “pros” and “cons” associated with each type of e Cig that when understood can help you find the vendor and model that suits you best.
Fortunately the 3 types of e Cigarettes are as easy to remember as 1, 2, 3. They are:
If you have never heard of electronic cigarettes Articlebase, Google and many other web-sites are excellent resources to find more information on how electronic cigarettes work and electronic cigarette FAQs (frequently asked questions) .
Type vs. Style
There are also 4 styles of electronic “cigarettes” (pen-style, mini, cigar and pipe) I will cover in a separate article that should not be confused with these 3 types . Style refers to appearances while type refers to function. The functionality and performance of each type of e cig depends on 3 main components which are the battery, atomizer and nicotine cartridge. Whether or not a particular electronic cigarette falls into the category of 1, 2, or 3 piece depends on how these three main components are packaged into the assembled unit and sometimes how they are sold.
I will now give you a brief overview and the associated pros and cons of each type of electronic cigarette.
1-Piece: Disposables
One piece electronic cigarettes package or assemble the unit into a single piece with a pre-charged battery that is ready to smoke as soon as you take it out of the package and thrown away when its used up. Sometimes there is a simple 1 step “activation” procedure that needs to be done such as removing a foil tab or twisting the battery to engage the battery or the nicotine cartridge with the atomizer.
The good thing about 1 piece or disposable e cigarettes is that they usually are the cheapest option for someone that just wants to try smoking electronic cigarettes for the first time to see if they will work for them.
The main drawback to disposable one piece e cigs is that since they are cheapest option they don’t include extra components such as spare batteries, atomizers, or battery chargers. Sometimes they will include a few extra refill cartridges but these will be not be useful if the battery dies prematurely.
Not all disposable electronic cigarettes are 1-piece and some are in fact 2-piece or 3-piece. Most if not all 1 piece e cigs are disposable however, and in fact a popular style of 1-piece electronic cigarettes are actually electronic cigars that are good for about 600 to 1800 puffs before the battery dies.
2-Piece: “Cartomizer”
Refill cartridges for 2 piece electronic cigarettes are sometimes referred to as “cartomizers” because the atomizer is built into the nicotine refill cartridges. These units are very convenient because they only require a person to charge batteries and replace nicotine cartridges as maintenance, but also have one significant advantage as well as one significant disadvantage. The main advantage of the 2 piece e cigarette over the 3 piece design is that the atomizer gets replaced each time the nicotine cartridge is replaced. Atomizers for electronic cigarettes are referred to as a semi-consumable requiring replacement every 6 to 8 weeks on average in 3-piece units and occasionally fail after only few days if not used properly. If you smoke a 2 piece e cig regularly the atomizer (along with the nicotine cartridge) will be replaced every 1 to 2 days depending on your smoking habits. The main disadvantage to the 2-piece e cig is that the nicotine cartridge / atomizer are somewhat sealed and difficult (although not impossible) to refill using a bottled nicotine solution in a refill process electronic cigarette smokers call “dripping.”
3-Piece Electronic Cigarettes
Three piece e cigarettes separate the 3 main components of electronic cigarettes which are the battery, atomizer and nicotine replacement cartridge. This type of electronic cigarette is preferred by veteran e cig smokers, but this does not mean that it is difficult to use even as a starter kit for a complete e cigarette novice. The 3-piece electronic cigarette is the most versatile giving the novice 3 different parts to swap out while trouble shooting and giving the veteran the most options for refilling or “dripping” nicotine cartridges as well as “modding” or making modifications to batteries, atomizers and nicotine cartridges for a totally personalized e cig smoking experience.
The main downside to the 3 piece electronic cigarette design is that it requires the most maintenance of the 3 types. Both batteries and atomizers are “semi-consumable” and will need to be replaced regularly as performance diminishes or they stop working all together.
Which Type of Electronic Cigarette is the Best?
This will depend on a number of factors, but there are a few suggestions I can make for the first or second time e cigarette buyer. If you are really unsure that electronic cigarettes will be a good option for you then go for the cheaper disposable option. Sometimes they don’t perform as well as the 2-piece or 3-piece designs, but it should at least help you get your feet wet and figure out if you are willing to invest some more money in the whole idea. If you are sure you want to become a serious e cig smoker and think you would like a lower maintenance option that will allow you to switch cartridges / atomizers easily and frequently to figure out which flavors appeal to you then try a 2-piece design. If you don’t mind a little bit more of a learning curve or think you would like to experiment more and don’t mind stocking up on a few more replacement parts then the 3-piece type of electronic cigarette is probably a good choice for you. If you plan to try different flavors of nicotine cartridges with a 3-piece e cig then be sure to buy a spare atomizer for each flavor you plan to try as the stronger flavors (such as menthol) tend to permeate the atomizers and may not mix well with another flavor you are trying.

I get a lot of emails asking me about which brands and styles of electric cigarettes are compatable. Can you use a battery from brand “A” on a cartomizer or atomizer of brand “B”? In this article I will try to outline some of the brands that I know to be compatable. Please feel free to post a comment if I have missed anything or mistaken anything.
The E-9 Style or Two Piece Designs
The E-9 style is one of the most popular styles because of it’s ease of use and two piece design. Unlike the three piece ecigarettes that have a separate atomizer, the E-9 style has the atomizer built in to the disposable cartridge. The “E” stands for “electric” and the “9″ refers to the 9mm thread pattern. I would recomend this style to anyone who is new to the world of ecigarettes.
E-9 Brands That Are Compatable With Eachother
Some companies that provide the E-9 style are:
Green Smoke – They sell exclusively the E-9 style and they do it right. In my opinion this is the best company out there. The product is top quality, the customer service is un-beatable and the free shipping is super fast.
Smoke 51 – They sell two different styles, one of them is the E-9 style. They call it the Duo because of the two piece design.
Premium Ecigarettes – This one is also the E-9 style, They also offer a really
cool USB charging case that no other company offers for the E-9 style ecig.
E-Cig Brand – They offer many different styles, One of them is the E-9 style. This company probably has the least expensive ecigarettes but you can only order them directly from china. They also offer a simple starter kit for $19.95 if you are curious about ecigs and want to try them out without spending a lot to begin with. This kit comes with 1 rechargable battery and two cartomizers. You can buy a charger later if you enjoy the ecig.
Zero Tar – They offer a few different styles of ecig, one of them is an E-9 style that they call the E-Vaporizer Kit That pretty much covers what I know of about the E-9 style and which companies provide them.
The Trio or Three Piece Designs
The three piece design is the second most popular design. The difference from the two piece design is that they have a separate atomizer, unlike the duo design which has the atomizer built into the nicotime cartridge.
Trio Brands That Are Compatable With Eachother
These are some of the three piece designs that I know of that will work with eachother:
The Blu Ecigarette – This ecigarette is one of the highest quality on the market and a good starter for someone new to ecigs. The starter kit includes a charging case that is exclusive to the Blu Ecigarette and that no other company offers anything quite like it. The case will ensure that you always have a fully charged battery.
Smoke 51 Trio – The Smoke 51 Trio is another high quality three piece ecigarette. the starter kit comes with everything you need to start vaping and even includes one extra nicotine cartridge.
The Luci Ecig – Yet another high quality three piece electric cigarette. They offer four different versions of their starter kit, each with different amenities.
The Instead eCig – Instead is one of the only companies that sell their kits with e-liquid so that you can refill the cartridges. Most of the other companies just want you to buy the pre-filled cartridges.
The Dragonfly ecig – This one is not fully compatible with the above brands but I decided to include it because the battery has the same thread pattern. The cartridges slips into the atomizer rather than onto the atomizer. but you can use the battery with any of the above models.
This is a review of the Medium Strength Cherry flavored e-liquid from E-SmokeyTreats Flavor – 8 Boldness – Mild to Medium (almost Medium)Vapor – 8 Throat hit – 8 Overall – 8 All reviews are done with the following process. 1) I will use a clean, fresh atomizer. Blown out, rinsed, drained, blown out again and then “cooked off” to make sure NO LIQUID is left on the internal wick 2) I will use a newly stuffed cart. Brand new blank for all intents and purposes – Cart topped off with the liquid …
I AM DOWNTOWN. The air is chill and the traffic thrums and stalls around me like angry geese, horns going off in a cavalcade. My arms are full of things a man in my financial situation has no right to afford, but I have a cheque due from the management company for a bunch of voice-overs I did the previous week and they even paid me to sign a pile of forms I didn’t exactly read. I’m excited but nervous because I feel the change in the air and it’s not just the first flakes of winter snow.
I ignore the incipient fender benders around me and step over a homeless guy lying in front of the department store asleep with his cock out and the biggest take-away mocha chill latte I have ever seen in my life spilled across the pavement beside him, a rich woman’s small dog lapping unseen at the edge of the puddle with its eyes going wide as it steps into a little of the human sensorium. The black guys at the entrance of the shop eye me like a rival gangsta, which I ignore because, you know, I’m cool with that shit, and I nod on the sly and make up some kind of fucking hand signal for a laugh that makes one wince and the other screw up his face in bewilderment. Oh yeah, and I have dropped about fifteen of these tiny little cute pills I found down the back of the couch, gagging on the lint, the pink hearts familiar to me and not actually candy as you might expect. They give me a fire in my belly and an iron rod I have to practically strap to the side of my leg as I amble into the big lit-up store, ignoring the more Christmassy decorations with my arms already half-filled with shit I shouldn’t be buying.
I’m moving house soon. That explains the back-of-the-sofa foraging and also why I am not at home at 6pm without a good excuse, no-one to cook my dinner or give me the hairy eyeball when I turn up at nine smelling like woodsmoke or brine or ectoplasm or Asian pussy with no real explanation to offer to a family who apparently all knew about the ridiculous one-man play my life had become. It just lacked a title. Perhaps, Zephyr the Amazing Doofus. I could think of a dozen things more harsh if it wasn’t for my happy pills and I’ll be frank with you that it’s a nice surprise to get a little holiday from the black mood that has been following me of late.
I have only just recovered from finding myself standing somewhere in the middle of the Eighth Century pushing corpses into a swamp with just a handful of unspeaking, black-cowled so-called priests as my accomplices. As Seeker glibly explained – troublingly so for someone who is practically a born-again-Christian – by the time Ash and the guy from the Jackass crew’s bodies turn up, they’ll have been decayed for centuries and unidentifiable. I thought I read or watched something once about peat bogs actually preserving people better, but I am not going to get into a slanging match with a bunch of Wallachians who don’t actually speak anyway, except among themselves, and even then in low whispers.
I am buying the essentials: clean underwear, rewritable DVDs, disposable razors, cue tips, a new hairbrush, toothbrush, shoe brush, boot polish and five cans of leather refresher that makes the emo chick behind the counter raise her heavily-pierced eyebrow, an effort by itself, and she laughs gently and makes some joke about me having a fetish and because I’m a little high I just nod and leer and say, “Yes, Veronica, and that is not all I can do,” and successfully creep her out. If I had my mask on she would so be mine. I dig the purple highlights in her hair, the chalky face, the pubescent cleavage straining at the secretarial white button-up blouse the shop makes her wear. I think of Cusp and my daughter Tessa simultaneously and it’s not the most comfortable sensation I’ve had all week.
In front of a display of the latest holo-projection TVs my Zephyr phone starts blurping and I look over my shoulder, knowing already I am going to risk it despite the mild shopping turbulence around me. I pile my things onto the carpeted step beneath one of the TVs that is showing news footage of the Pope setting down in Newark and whoever it is on the other end of the phone, I cannot hear a fucking word they are saying. I cut the line and realise I have five text messages, three of them from Seeker about “team business,” one from the guy who still manages my web forum and one from Streethawk, of all people, asking if the rumours are true that we’re putting together a new squad. Sorry Bruce, no homos allowed, is what I think to myself and then catch myself on the television suddenly, brows crinkled as I ponder how exactly I turned out to be such a homophobic beeotch given my upbringing – and it’s disorienting trying to work out why I can see myself on the holoscreen until I realise a salesman is demonstrating a handicam to a bunch of East China tourists who look like they have never seen an electric light let alone a DVD camera.
The phone rings again. I put my finger in my other ear. It’s the guy from the web forum again, I can’t remember his name for the moment as he’s telling me something about an irate fan who keeps demanding he pass on a message about the end of the world. I give a good laugh – it’s not easy being Zephyr on the phone when I’m not in costume and I’m surrounded by other people – and I tell my little helper not to worry about it and I have a pretty good idea who it is. This is a lie, of course, but I am not about to go sweating the psychiatric foibles of every loser who finds himself at contactzephyr.com.nu(.)
On the regular televisions I see shaky footage of a guy in a wrestling suit straining like someone with a blocked ass and then he swells and blisters and grows to about the size of a small elephant and goes all red and angry-looking and the words COALFACE appears as the surface of his body blackens and cracks open like the mantle of a volcano and I have to admit to myself, that’s one nasty-looking motherfucker, and that’s why I am glad it appears to be just a TV show. I pick up my purchases and decide to go buzz the perfume section and see about buying an early birthday present for Tessa, marvelling at my uncurtailed freedom and wondering where exactly it is that I am going to sleep once Beth settles on a date for taking back the apartment.
THE PHONE IS ringing while I take a dump and it’s not just my sullen alpha waves that mean I don’t move a muscle, letting it drone on and on and on, my thoughts a thousand miles away and the sky outside filling up with black ink.
Eventually the phone is quiet. I shower, do my “ablutions,” which is a term I guess writers of Stoker’s era used to avoid describing the messy business I clean off my knuckles with tissue paper the consistency of gauze wrap as I sigh, filled with discontentedness, and then stand at the wide bank of apartment windows gazing across the cityscape as night descends like an inexpertly hung stage curtain, staggering down unevenly but eventually consuming the whole thing in darkness until the audience, uncomfortable in their seats, shift and wonder what purpose this development, how does the staging match the set design in bringing forward the central themes of the piece, assuming an author somewhere, intentionality, a coherent structure, the inevitability of climax and resolution, only to find the circus has moved on and run off with the price of their admission.
My life, for the moment, lacks all of these details. When I go to dress, half-a-quart of milk gurgling in my stomach and a vague craving for Swedish meatballs unconquered, I realise my costume smells like a homeless man’s trolley. The comparative luxury of my situation affords me a clean outfit and the almost Japanese ritual of the process of costuming myself in leather and turning the old suit inside out and hanging it to air in the wallspace obscures the central fact I now have few reasons to dress like an ordinary person, that without those silently knowing figures so recently extracted from my life I am one hundred per cent superhero on call without much else to show for my existence.
While I might long for a different kind of normal, the feeling of familiarity and safety brought by my leather encasement is a comfort I might find hard to describe if I had to, if there was anyone else with which to share my thoughts except you, my phantasmal darling. Briefly I think of Cusp, Seeker, Vulcana, Devil Betty, handicam footage of my daughter and Shade turning pirouettes at mach over the Silver Tower. While I admit I am feeling sorry for myself, and it might be the comedown from self-medication making it such a drag, the tomb of the apartment and the desecration of my sacred private life revealed by the bare refrigerator, strewn magazines and empty pizza boxes underlines the reality beneath my funk. I am no has been when I am Zephyr, yet even slumping on the sofa and staring at the disconnected television and I am already moving imperceptibly back toward being that person who, in a parallel life, declined to climb the maddening tower and went on to live a plain, inglorious and altogether unremarkable life. Perhaps I would’ve been happier. Perhaps I could’ve kept Beth, though it’s questionable I could’ve wooed her in the first place without my lightning trick and incredible strength to seduce the girl she so quickly ceased to be upon our graduation. More likely I would’ve met some girl behind the desk of a pharmacy, a library, a video store, raised a brood of weird-looking children and continued on through ignominy to the anonymity of death.
Oh God.
In the bathroom I contemplate my face in the mirror, my mask gone. Whatever fate awaited me – presuming the intersection of my life with that lightning bolt was anything other than fated – the very fact of my existence is underwritten by my paternity. Electrical storm or no, whatever else, they tell me I am John Lennon’s son. The Preacher Man. Yet we look nothing alike. Or, almost nothing alike, unless there’s something I’m missing.
There is an iconic image of Lennon from the Summer Rebellion. I move through the apartment to my computer in the wallspace, many of my things in boxes in preparation for the move. Excel spreadsheets from Sal Doro’s disc about the Azzurro Corporation is open from my half-hearted review of the web of complex company structures and asset holdings that one of Sal’s journo colleagues had inexplicably to hand. It is quickly minimised as I pull up Firefox and perform an image search to get the picture I am after. It’s just a few seconds between this and that and then my alleged father’s face is staring out at me, the Preacher Man bearded and cross-legged in a white linen robe with heavy beads around his neck, floating in the air over the writhing hordes of protesters and London bobbies with Perspex shields and grimaces marring their moustachioed faces. He has one hand raised above him and the word “stop” nascent on his lips. Distracted that moment by a cameraman, perhaps an inherited trait after all, he turns his face sixty degrees towards the viewer and unintentional immortality. Put that in your cosmic peace pipe and smoke it, grandpa.
I’m eating at my parents’ place tomorrow night. All will be revealed, I suppose.
I sigh and wish I had a cigarette and my eyes drift down the initial table of thumbnails from the internet search and suddenly I find myself looking at quite a different, but nonetheless familiar face.
My half-brother, Julian.
