Green Smoke Electronic Cigarette Review

June 24th, 2010

green-smoke-electronic-cigarette-review

It is not hard to see why Green Smoke™ e cigs are the top-selling electronic cigarette on the market, even though the Green Smoke™ Starter Kit costs a little bit more in comparison to most of the e-cigarette competitors.

Green Smoke™ boast a two part design electronic cigarette(most electronic cigarettes are three part designs), and were the first company to use this innovative patented design. This brings a number of advantages over the three part designs.

The two part design incorporates the atomizer within the cartridge. This provides the benefit that when you change a cartridge you also get a fresh, new atomizer. The atomizer affects the level of vapor (smoke) the e-cigarette can produce, so as the atomizer gets older, it produces less vapor. By incorporating the atomizer into the cartridge, like Green Smoke™ have done, the level of vapor the electronic cigarette produces will never diminish, as can happen with some other e-cig brands.

Green Smoke™ have also come up with the innovation of sealing the nicotine pad inside the cartridge so you never need to touch the nicotine pad and it never leaks. This is a welcome improvement over some other brands where a wet nicotine pad needs to be unwrapped and inserted manually into the mouthpiece, which inevitably leaves a leaky mess and your fingers wet and smelly, not to mention if it leaks while you are smoking the e-cig.

The cartridges come in a wide variety of flavors and strength levels. You can stick to the traditional, tobacco flavored cartridges or try flavors such as chocolate, coffee or vanilla to name but a few. In total there are 35 different cartridge flavor/strength combinations available. Check out the Green Smoke™ Cartridges page for more details.

So in summary, with Green Smoke™, you pay a little bit more to start with, but end up with a lot more value for your money.

Luci Electronic Cigarette Review

June 24th, 2010

luci-electronic-cigarette-review

The Luci™ e-cigarette, is a noticeably smoother smoke than most of the other e-cigarette brands. The cost of the Luci™ Starter Kit is also in the lower range, starting at $54.95.

Rather than mimic the look of a normal cigarette Luci™ have gone for a glossy,black finish. It is a love it / hate it look. Check out this video [http://www.myluci.com/faq/overview/] from Luci’s website to find out which side you fall on!

Some of the advertised features of the Luci™ electronic cigarette are:

  • Luci™ contains no tar, second-hand smoke, or burning substances.
  • Luci™ contains safety features to prevent nicotine over consumption.
  • Luci™ contains a smart chip within the product which turns the product off if too much nicotine is delivered in a short time.
  • Luci™ grants you the freedom to choose the alternative that’s best for you.
  • Smoke with zero nicotine to give you the smartest alternative we offer.

The Luci™ cartridges come in high, medium, or zero nicotine levels and are available in 4 different flavors. For more details check out the [luci cartridge review].

Overall, a nice smoke but whether you plump for it or not depends on whether you are in the “love it” or “hate it” camp when it comes to the styling of the electronic cigarette.

The Safe Cig Electronic Cigarette Review

June 24th, 2010

the-safe-cig-electronic-cigarette-review

The SafeCig is one of the few electronic cigarettes companies that provide you with a Lifetime Warranty. This Lifetime Warranty shows the confidence they have in their product, as the most common problem with many electronic cigarettes is the battery life, which is covered in the warranty. I don’t know about you but a lifetime warranty certainly instills confidence in me that I will be buying a solidly built and durable product.

The Safe Cig have updated their design to follow the innovative 2 part design first seen on the market by Green Smoke. The difference in their design means that larger, and therefore longer lasting, refill cartridges can be used. The result of this is that the Safe Cig cartridges are equivalent to 2 packets of normal cigarettes per cartridge, rather than the typical 1 pack per cartridge from most electronic cigarettes.

The Safe Cig have not gone for the cigarette equivalent route of alcopops with lots of wild and fancy flavors. The flavors offered by Safe Cig are few, and of the no frills variety: Marlboro, classic tobacco, and menthol flavor is the extent of the options available. However, the range of nicotine strength levels that are offered is a different story, with 4 strength levels, from 0mg – 18mg, which should cover the varying needs of all smokers.

The styling is like that of a normal cigarette; no frills white with a red tip, although it is a bit bulkier than a normal cigarette.

The pricing of The Safe Cig is quite economical, with starter kits beginning at around $90.00 and containing a USB charger, two batteries and five atomized cartridges, generally the same package as most e-cigarettes but of exceptional quality, free shipping, an impressive lifetime warranty and with a 30 day satisfaction guarantee to top it off. Spare parts are reasonably priced with a USB charger costing $15 and $30.00 per additional battery.

If you are not interested in any of the fancy styles or flavors that other electronic cigarette companies offer and simply want a healthier substitute to the traditional cigarette then The Safe Cig should suit you down to the ground. Apart from the confidence inducing Lifetime Warranty they also offer a 30 day money back guarantee and free shipping on all orders within the US.

Smoke Tip Electronic Cigarette Review

June 24th, 2010

smoke-tip-electronic-cigarette-review

Smoke Tip’s website boasts to provide the most advanced electronic cigarette. All I found this statement to mean, however, is that they use the same 2 part system that is becoming ever more popular with many of the electronic cigarette brands on the market. What Smoke Tip does offer that many e cigarettes on the 2 part system do not, is a far greater selection of atomized cartridge flavors.

The average flavor range offered by most electronic cigs is 2-7 flavors. Smoke Tip offers 10 different flavors of atomized cartridges including almond, peach, and strawberry to their tasting repertoire. The atomized cartridges are sold in packs of ten, more convenient than their competitors who sell primarily in packs of five, and are priced slightly under $20.00, and even cheaper when bought in bulk. Five packs of atomized cartridges by other companies can cost between $13-15, so you can save a couple bucks on refills by going with Smoke Tip.

In general, Smoke Tip is one of the most economical options on the electronic cigarette market. The starter kit, which includes the standard features of nearly every starter kit available, costs just $59.95 and includes free shipping and handling. Unlike many other companies that tout the same low prices, Smoke Tip offers an unconditional lifetime warranty on their rechargeable lithium batteries.

Smoke Tip offers no option for appearance with the cigarettes included in their starter kit, but additional batteries in chrome and black are available for purchase separately for around $19.00. They do look a little cheaper and flimsier than some of their higher end competitors, but they also cost about half as much, so if your priorities are not in matching your outfits to your smoking mechanism, you probably won’t mind.

Most Smoke Tip customers have also reported their delight at the speedy delivery.

Great option for the economically impaired, or anyone who wants an easy, basic option with some variety in flavor.

Update: Lots of people have contacted me about how the SmokeTip discount/coupon code system works so I thought it would be useful to explain it here in more detail.

The discount you receive is calculated AUTOMATICALLY when your order is placed. NO discount or coupon code is required, and indeed you will not find any coupon code as they do not exist. The system works on a sliding scale so the discount %  you receive depends on how many of an item you buy.

For example

Item Price Quantity Total Cost Discounted Cost Discount %
10 pack cartridge $19.95 1 $19.95 $19.95 0
10 pack cartridge $19.95 3 $59.85 $53.85 10% ($6)
10 pack cartridge $19.95 4 $79.80 $71.80 10% ($8)
10 pack cartridge $19.95 10 $199.50 $159.80 20% (~$40)

This means that if you buy 3 or more of an item you will receive a 10% discount automatically when you place your order, NO discount/coupon code is required. Of course, if you wanted to start stockpiling cartridges to put in your nuclear shelter and you ordered 10 or 20 of an item in one go then the discount rate would jump up to 20% or 25%.

I hope that has helped clear up how the Smoke Tip discount system works!

Esmoke Electronic Cigarette Review

June 24th, 2010

esmoke-electronic-cigarette-review

eSmoke offers two different models, the eSmoke Pro and the eSmoke Sensation, both featuring disposable atomized cartridges. The Sensation starts ar $125.00, while the eSmoke Pro will set you back $150.00. The only discernible difference between the 2 seem to be that the eSmoke Pro is a bit smaller than the Sensation and more closely resembles an actual cigarette.

A benefit to choosing eSmoke is the assurance that their cartridges are filled with lab tested, American made, eJuice; an advantage not necessarily available from other companies. Pricing for cartridges starts at $14.00 for five, but there is bulk discounting available as well which will make it cheaper. Pro series cartridges are available in 8 different flavors, whereas the Sensation series cartridges are only available in 5. They also offer a large range of nicotine levels from 0mg to 24mg.

All of their products, are assembled and tested in the US and offer a lifetime replacement guarantee. This instills confidence that the product you will buy will be solidly built and durable.

There have been some complaints about the eSmoke Sensation battery, mainly about the airflow which comes in via the tip of the battery. The increased airflow can have an affect on the vapor quality, reducing the amount of “smoke” produced. However, these complaints don’t seem to dissuade esmoke users from encouraging the use of eSmoke Sensation, and I have not seen or heard of any of these complaints with regards to the eSmoke Pro series.

In conclusion, eSmoke on first glance appears to be a relatively expensive product, but without a doubt a quality one. However, when you factor in the lifetime warranty and money, that without the lifetime warranty, you may well have shelled out on replacement batteries, etc., it ceases to appear as expensive and in the long run will probably work out cheaper.

On top of that with all of the components being made in the USA you really cannot go wrong with the eSmoke starter kit. Still here?…..Go buy one over at the eSmoke site!

Premium Electronic Cigarette Review

June 24th, 2010

premium-electronic-cigarette-review

The Premium electronic cigarette company offers many different types of electronic cigarettes including two versions that incorporate the popular 2 part design. The models offered are the PR110 and the PR111, the latter being designed for heavier smokers, with pricing reasonably set within the $70-80 range.

In addition to their two popular starter kits, Premium also offers a single use, disposable e-cigarette. This is equivalent to 25 regular cigarettes and costs only 15 dollars, great for those wanting to do a test run before laying down the green on one of the starter kits. For the more discerning gentleman Premium also offers a disposable electronic cigar in a variety of fun colors, good for 600 puffs with 16mg of nicotine in Cubana Flavor, although the obligatory slippers and smoking jacket are not included!

The good news for existing electronic cigarette owners, is that Premium’s products are compatible with other models such as the DSE 101, 102, ad 103. This means the Premium customer is not restricted to Premium accessories and is free to switch up their e-smoking needs and desires by sourcing from other companies. For example, the owner of a Premium e-cig can find empty cartridges which can then be filled with their favorite e-liquid, instead of being restricted to Premium’s flavor cartridges. Although the Premium selection of flavored cartridges is nothing short of impressive, with 20 flavors on offer.

Nicotine levels for Premium cigarettes range from 0mg to 24mg, and are available in unique flavors like Pear, Cola, and Irish Cream, perfect for the smoker with an adventurous spirit.

While Premium does offer a variety of different colored batteries, some of the colors, while unique to Premium, are a little tackier than other e-cigarette companies out there. The gold battery, for example, is something that would be the perfect accessory for a rap star looking to add a little more bling bling. Premium backs their products with a lifetime warranty, however, so regardless of your preferences you can rest assured your battery will have a long full life, and if it doesn’t then not to worry as it will be replaced by Premium.

Premium does offer an unmatched variety of customizable accessories including some very sharp carrying cases which double as traveling chargers, great for anyone “on the go”.

Premium is a great company for the smoker who loves options, and for those who like to stand out by offering an unsurpassed level of customizations and personalization options.

Electronic Cigarettes Inc Review

June 24th, 2010

electronic-cigarettes-inc-review

Electronic Cigarettes Inc. make a great electronic cigarette kits, the KR808D Disposable Atomizer Electronic Cigarette Kit. It tastes great and is very easy to use. Of all the electronic cigarette this seems to be the most simiilar to a traditional cigarette.

The 2 part design means that there is no need to clean the atomizer, as the atomizer is built into the cartridge and so with every new cartridge you get a new atomizer

The other version of electronic cigarette that Electronic Cigarettes Inc. offers is the more traditional Vapor King 510 Electronic Cigarette Kit. The difference here is that it uses the 3 part design. To make up for it, What it does have is a manual button that allows you to take larger puffs than other electronic cigarettes that don’t have a manual smoking option. The manual button really lets you feel like you are taking huge drags.

Personally, I would take the KR808D over the Vapor King 510, but you really can’t go wrong with either version. Electronic Cigarettes Inc. offers three different tastes of varying strength levels.

Many people who smoke tobacco cigarettes have tried the Electronic Cigarette Inc. e cigs because they simply can’t afford to continue paying for traditional cigarettes. You can save a great deal of money by using e-cigarettes instead of “traditional” cigarettes. The KR808D starter kit can be purchased for around $55. After the initial investment, all that is required is to go online and purchase the replacement cartridges. How ever many cigarettes you currently smoke per day, buying an electronic cigarette will undoubtedly save you money.

Nucig Electronic Cigarette Review

June 24th, 2010

nucig-electronic-cigarette-review

Nucigs are smaller in size, lightweight, and far more comparable to the look and feel of smoking a real cigarette than most of their competitors. In fact, their website claims that their Advanced Pro 2 series is “the most advanced and realistic electronic cigarette available today.”

They are available in three different colors, white for traditionalists, black and pink.

NUCIG’s basic starter kit is available at a very low $43.21, and comes complete with a Nucig battery and atomizer, 5 cartridges, USB charger, and a great carry case which looks like a real box of cigarettes.

For only $10.00 you can buy the disposable NUCIG e-cigarette, very good value and it gives you up to 500 puffs, ideal for anyone looking to try the e-smoking experience before committing to buying an electronic cigarette starter kit.

Nicotine levels available range from 0mg-18mg, and are available in 6 different flavors that include Cigar, Chocolate, Strawberry, Apple, Traditional Tobacco and Mentholl. The cartridges are refillable, which opens up the possibility of the customer purchasing the e-liquid of their choice and then refilling the cartridges themselves. This option usually proves to be even more economical.

Most reports about battery life have been that it lasts longer than many other e-cigarettes, but some people complain that the vapor production levels diminish after a while. This is typical of the three component vaporizer system as happens because the atomizer becomes clogged over time. Additionally there have been some complaints of e-liquid leaking into the battery and damaging it if the parts are not assembled together correctly, an expensive mistake.

Something to be aware of if you live in the United States, NUCIG only offers free shipping to those living on the UK or Ireland mainland, and so shipping overseas will incur an extra cost. Also, because they are located in the UK, US customers who order NUCIG may have to wait a few weeks before the delivery arrives.

Cigana Electronic Cigarette Review

June 22nd, 2010

cigana-electronic-cigarette-review

Cigana is an e-cigarette that truly looks like a real tobacco cigarette. If you fear attention, and it is absolutely necessary for you to look and feel like you are smoking a genuine tobacco cigarette, Cigana may be the best option.

Cigana’s most popular model has two components, the battery and an atomized cartridge. This is similar to other 2 part electronic cigarette models where the atomizer is built inside the cartridge, meaning better quality vapor is produced with every new cartridge, as the atomizer is replaced when you replace a cartridge and therefore it never experiences clogging.

Cigana’s basic starter kit, which comes with everything most e-cig starter kits include, can run at a steep $150.00, with no free shipping. Cigana includes other options, however, including a three part system with atomizers separate from the cartridges. The 3 part model is called Hybrid, runs at only $40.00 and is one of the lowest priced electronic cigarettes on the market.

Atomized cartridges are around $13.00 for four, averaging slightly over $3.00 per cartridge. These are slightly more expensive than Cigana’s competitors. Each cartridge gives an estimated 12-15 cigarettes, where as some other brands of atomized cartridges claim that their cartridges can last up to 20 cigs.

The cartridges are available in 9 different flavors, with Cherry being the consumer favorite, and five different nicotine levels.

The batteries are reported by most consumers to have a long life, over 6 months, but they are not backed with any warranty other than the 30-day satisfaction guarantee typical of all e-cigarette companies.

Great for businessmen and city folk, Cigana is a great electronic alternative for the smoker who still wants to look like a smoker.

Cigarti Electronic Cigarette Review

June 22nd, 2010

cigarti-electronic-cigarette-review

Cigarti is head and shoulders above the rest of the e-cig companies when it comes to personalization, with appearance options to suit every walk of life. If you simply must have an electronic cigarette that looks like a radioactive leopard, Cigarti is the only company for you. With over 100 different “cig skins” to choose from, and 8 colorful flavored atomized cartridges to match, I felt like a mid-life crisis in an exotic auto show room, completely over stimulated by the number of options.

And if you STILL can’t find what you are looking for, even after rifling through the hundreds of different options, you can send in your own picture or pattern and have your cigarette completely customized in a “one and only” design to specifically fit you.

Cigarti is the Ferrari of the electronic cigarette. It is more expensive than the run of the mill, the gas mileage is probably terrible, but it handles the road beautifully and man do you look awesome in the driver’s seat.

The mini cigarette starter kit is $60.00, and its contents are sparse: one battery, one cartridge, one charger, and a carrying case. Mini cigarette starter kits are non-customizable as well, which to me is the coolest facet of Cigarti products. The regular starter kit comes at $122.00, for the typical two batteries, five cartridges, and USB charger with wall adapter, and customization costs an additional $20.00, bringing the grand total to $142.00 for the complete Cigarti experience.

Cigarti e-cigs feature the popular two-component trend with a disposable atomized cartridge delivery system, meaning the vapor level will be high and voluminous with every new cartridge. Each cartridge holds 330 puffs, equivalent to 2 packs of cigarettes, and is available in packs of five for nearly $14.00. The nicotine ranges from 0mg-11mg, which is relatively low nicotine level compared to other brands, but not a problem if you typically smoke “lights.”

If you still don’t feel snobby enough, Cigarti also gives their customers an exclusive membership card. That means when you are vaping your Cigarti in an establishment and some plebian waitress tells you smoking is not allowed, you don’t even need to explain yourself. All you have to do is simply flash your membership card and tell the commoner to bring it to her manager, as it describes in great detail that the use of your Cigarti is completely legal for use in any setting.

In conclusion, if I were a 57-year-old divorcee with a martini in one hand and millions of dollars in alimony in the other, or a Real Housewife of Atlanta, I would smoke nothing less than a Cigarti electric cigarette (in radioactive leopard print, no doubt).
