How to Disconnect the LED Light on an E-Cigarette

Smoking is both an expensive and deadly habit. Unfortunately, it is also a difficult habit to break. Many people try a wide range of remedies to help kick the habit including prescription drugs, nicotine patches and gum and even hypnosis. The latest method to help people try to quit now is the Electronic Cigarette, which simulates smoking by producing a safe mist that gives the physical sensation of smoking, but without the nasty side-effects. Electronic cigarette batteries are equipped with a small LED light on the end that lights up when the smoker takes a drag. This LED light can be disabled.
