Intro: McDonald Webb, Inc.
(www.mcdonaldwebb.com) today introduced The Steampunk Sparkplug for Smokers,
the first domestically produced, mass marketed e-cigarette.
E-cigarettes were invented in China about four years ago. They work by
heating a glycol substance with nicotine and tobacco flavoring added. While a
popular novelty item, e-cigarettes contain many consumable parts that fail and
must be replaced often. They also use a battery that only lasts several
minutes with constant use.
Due to quality and reliability issues, e-cigarettes, while viewed by most as a
good idea, have largely been disappointing and are considered a market
failure.
About a year ago, McDonald Webb founders Jon Webb and James McDonald designed,
manufactured and began testing an e-cigarette product designed to be as
reliable as a normal cigarette.
