E CIGARETTE SHOP

It has been almost a year since I last updated my e cigarette reviews so I thought it was about time I got my hands on some new starter kits to see how the leading brands on the market have progressed.

If you’ve been on the site over the last couple of months you will have noticed that I’ve been posting some in depth reviews of many of the most popular e cigarette products. I’ve been using all of them for a prolonged period of time to enable me to give you the best idea about what e cigs are worth buying. The only problem is that if you are looking to make a quick purchasing decision you might not be too interested in reading my 3000 word opus on the pros and cons of every device you could possibly buy. For that reason I’ll do a quick run down of the best e cigarettes I’ve been lucky enough to use, and list the important points you will want to consider before you buy.

With that out of the way let’s take a look at my top 4 electronic cigarettes at the moment.

The Best E Cigarette I’ve Reviewed Is The Green Smoke

For the third year in a row Green Smoke E cigarettes are my top pick for anyone looking for a high quality e cig at a reasonable price. Until I got my new starter kit from this company a few weeks ago I was considering giving the top spot to a different brand for a change, but the company’s new Flavormax cartridges and reduced pricing have ensured they stay ahead of the pack once again.

Why Buy Green Smoke?

A very high quality product which is obviously manufactured with the aim of being the best on the market.
Fantastic new range of cartridges called Flavormax which provide great taste, massive vapor, and the most realistic “smoking” experience from any electronic cigarette I’ve tried so far.
Cartridges are created using a proprietary wicking technology which ensures you get the best taste, and no chance of inhaling any nasties from heated plastics.
Starter kit now includes a free USB e cigarette and $10 has been knocked off the retail price.
No need to take primer puffs to get a great smoking experience when using their automatic batteries (unlike most other brands).
Batteries have a long cut-off which means you can take a really satisfying drag for maximum taste and vapor.
Their new Flavormax cartridges last a really long time and provide good vapor ’til the end.
Cartridges are now triple sealed which means the user gets a super consistent product.

Any Downsides To Green Smoke?

There is not a lot that I would want to see changed with this product. If pushed I’d ask them to make the stickers on the carts with paper that was a little bit thinner as they are currently tempting to peel off. Other than that this is just about the perfect device, and better than anything else available at the moment.

Number 2 – V2

V2 e cigs are a newer brand on the market so when I got my starter kit a couple of months ago it was the first time I had tried them. I was impressed with this device as soon as I got it out of the package and had been using it a fair bit until my new Green Smoke Kit arrived.

What’s Good About The V2?

Their nicotine liquids taste good and have a very nice amount of vapor.
Their prices compare very well with most other products on the market.
They offer a cool portable charger pack which will allow you to charge your batteries when you are out of the house without having to find a power point.
This company now sells an attachment allowing you to use your V2 battery with nicotine cartridges from other e-cig companies. I haven’t tried this yet so can’t comment on how well it works, but it sounds promising for those who like a bit of variety in their lives.

Downsides to the V2?

The “smoking” experience isn’t quite as realistic as you get with Green Smoke.
I’ve heard complaints from a few people saying that they have had problems with their carts from V2 ie. Carts not lasting as long as they should or having a burnt taste. I haven’t encountered this myself and have been very happy with my V2′s performance.
This company has been known to be a bit slow in shipping out orders at times, probably due to not always having everything in stock. If you order from them let me know how long your shipments take to arrive.

Number 3 – Vapor King by Electronic Cigarettes Inc.

Electronic Cigarettes Inc have really expanded their range since the last time I tried them and they have a couple of products that you might like to try out. I’ve tested both the Vapor King ETank and the regular Vapor King both of which are top e cigarettes. I personally prefer the regular version as the ETank didn’t have enough of a throat hit for my liking, although I did produce a massive amount of vapor.

The Vapor King starter kit is a quality product which has a really nice feel to it with very good vapor production and a satisfying throat hit. The difference between this product and the others in this list is that it doesn’t use the cartomizer system, but rather has a small tank which you fill with your nicotine liquid, and a separate atomizer which will have to be replaced at regular intervals. This makes for a rather unique vaping experience for those of us used to simply screwing in a new cart when the old one runs dry. It’s one which I quite enjoy, although for everyday use I prefer the ease of use associated with the likes of the Green Smoke.

The only negatives for me with this electronic cigarette were:

It has a tendency to leak nicotine liquid when carried in my pocket.
The taste of the nicotine liquid supplied by the company wasn’t as good as some of the others I’ve tried, although I have only tried this tobacco flavor. This problem could be remedied by purchasing your liquids from a third party supplier.

If you are tempted to try something a little bit different then this device could be right up your alley.

Number 4 – White Cloud Cirrus E Cigarettes

White Cloud have a reputation for being ridiculously expensive and it’s one that’s deserved. You will have to shell out almost $300 dollars to get you hands on their top of the range Cirrus III, and that’s the reason you will find very few people using these. Having said that, it is an e cigarette that you might want to consider if you have plenty of cash to spend.

Why Buy White Cloud Cigarettes?

There are a few things that set the White Cloud apart from the other e cigarettes I have reviewed.
They are the smallest e cigarette.
The nicotine liquid in their carts tastes awesome.
They offer a real easy draw, unlike some brands which feel like you are trying to suck a golf ball through a straw.

What I Don’t Like So Much About White Could E Cigs

The price..obviously You’re going to have to have deep pockets to feel good about putting down $300 for an e cigarette you can’t try before you buy.
Doesn’t produce as much vapor as the Green Smoke or V2 – This won’t be a big deal for some, but for others it will be a deal breaker.
They don’t sell as many cool accessories for their products as many other brands.

Is White Cloud Worth The Money?

In all honesty I would prefer the Green Smoke to the White Cloud even if they were available for the same price. It’s true that the Cirrus has great tasting cartomizers, but that doesn’t make up for the lower vapor production and slightly less satisfying “vaping” experience.

If the thing that really matters to you is getting the smallest e cig possible or being the only person using a particular product then you might want to take a closer look at these.

Read my full White Cloud E Cigarette Review.

Eversmoke are a company who has been getting a lot of rave reviews from the e cigarette blogosphere so I figured it was about time I got my hands on one of these kits to let my readers know if this is a product worth buying. As always I procrastinated a little before putting my order in so I was thankful when the guys from Eversmoke got in touch and offered a free starter kit to test. This review is for the Eversmoke basic starter kit which you can find on the company’s website for a reduced price of just $59.99.

What you get in your starter kit

The basic starter kit from Eversmoke comes with the following:

A Lithium Ion battery – This is sold as a “regular” size battery by this company but it’s actually slightly bigger than the “large” battery you get from Green Smoke
A branded portable wall charger
A branded USB charger
Five nicotine cartomizers in your choice of flavor and strength
An owners manual

The kit I got is the cheapest and least equipped that Eversmoke sell. It has all you need to try out vaping if you are new to it, but if you are serious about making the transition to e cigs you will want to opt for the Premium kit at $79.99 to get an extra battery. As I’ve said before, having an e cigarette with a single battery is hopeless because when the power runs down you need to wait a couple of hours for it to recharge before you can get another nicotine hit.

Eversmoke also offer an Ultimate Plus kit which I think is a great option for anyone who is serious about vaping full time, especially if you will be doing so without constant access to a power point. It comes with a total of 15 cartomizers, a car adapter for the charger, a carry case, and a personal charging case (PCC) which allows you to power up your batteries on the go. Unfortunately I haven’t tried the PCC yet but it looks like a pretty standard piece of kit which I’m sure does a fine job of. If it matches up to the quality of the company’s other components then it’s something you will definitely want to purchase if you choose this brand.

The overall feel of the Eversmoke product

First impressions of the Eversmoke brand is very favorable. Their packaging is more than adequate for the job with a sturdy well designed box holding your chosen kit, perfect if you happen to be giving it as a gift to a smoker friend.

The e cigarette itself is a well designed product with a feel very similar to my favorite brands such as Green Smoke. The battery is nicely branded, the carts look great, and it has an unusual glowing crystal tip which helps it stand out from the crowd.

How does it smoke?

The vaping experience is the most important part of the package and it’s an area where the Eversmoke doesn’t let us down. This is definitely a quality product, and one which any first time vapor will be extremely happy with.

Taking a draw on the Eversmoke takes about as much effort as the Green Smoke product which means it is a close approximation to a real tobacco cigarette. This is an important point where some brands I’ve tried recently such as the Nicotek Metro fall down. E cigs which take hardly any effort to draw on usually don’t have much of a “hit”, and if it’s too hard you are going to burst your lungs to get the vapor production you are looking for.

The flavor of the carts is also very good. In my opinion it doesn’t quite match up to the Green Smoke or V2 cigs but it’s miles better than most of the other products you’ll find on the Internet. I’ve only tried the full flavored tobacco carts so far but they offer a satisfying taste which I’d be happy to use over the long term.

Throat is another area which is essential if you are to successfully make that switch from tobacco. Eversmoke is well above average in this area as well with a definite kick which will give you the impression you are smoking on a real cigarette. They can make your throat a little dry if you are puffing on them constantly but this is a problem which you’ll find with most brands worth using, and one I’m sure is almost impossible to eliminate.

In my opinion the Eversmoke cartomizers fall a little short of those offered by Green Smoke. They are a little smaller in size which means they don’t last as long, the juice doesn’t have quite as good a flavor, and the vapor production isn’t as monstrous. Having said that I would be quite happy to use the Eversmoke product full time if I didn’t have another e cig option.

Eversmoke Battery Life

Eversmoke do a good job of boasting about the quality of their batteries on their website and it’s easy to see why they are so proud of this component.

The large battery I got with my kit is a touch larger then the long battery from Greensmoke which makes it a fair bit longer than a regular cigarette. For me this isn’t an issue as I prefer extended battery life over an exact replica of a Marlboro. If you are looking for something a little more inconspicuous then make sure you get a kit with a standard battery rather than the high-capacity number.

Obviously a longer battery is going to last longer and the Eversmoke High-capacity unit is a beast in the last ability stakes. You can puff on one of these babies for a full day without having to reach for the charger and that’s something which has to be worth a few extra points. There’s nothing worse than having an e cig die after an hour when you are out of the house and away from a electrical source.

Downsides to the Eversmoke e cigarette?

There’s nothing about the Eversmoke which sticks out as a real negative. There are brands out there which do some things a bit better but as an all-round package this really is a very nice product, and one which would be happy to recommend to my readers.
