Cigarti Electronic Cigarette Set

SPECIAL OFFER: Cigarti are currently offering free shipping on all orders, to benefit from this offer click here: Cigarti Special Offer and enter the coupon code HAPPY2010 during checkout. Also many of their most popular skins from the 200 available are now free of charge.

This kit comprises:

A wall charger and USB adapter
2 rechargeable lithium ion batteries, each a different size / capacity (see below)
6 cartridges
A user manual and Cigarti membership card

The body of the cigarette houses the battery and is available in a huge variety of designs and colors – from pink flowers to abstract black and blue, most of these designs used to attract a surcharge of around $20, but Cigarti has recently stopped charging extra for their bestsellers. We really like some of these designs and they will certainly make you stand out from the crowd. Unusually, Cigarti supplies one larger battery (83mm long), which lasts for up to one day of use; and a smaller one (70mm long), which they describe as “perfect for an evening out”. Both batteries recharge fully in an hour or two. The inclusion of both wall and usb chargers is very welcome.

A cartridge screws into the body to complete the cigarette. You can choose which flavor you’d like from options such as apple, tobacco, mint, strawberry and vanilla. You can also choose your desired nicotine strength, from 0mg to 11mg. Cigarti claim each cartridge is good for 330 puffs, or the equivalent of 40 normal cigarettes.

The kit functions well, at around $120 it’s not cheapest on the market, however it’s well-built and gives a very satisfying vaping experience – and Cigarti offer same day shipping and a 30 day money-back guarantee.

PureSmoke Starter Kit

nedbenj — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 16:50:29 +0000

PureSmoke Starter Kit

The PureSmoke Starter Kit currently costs $56.99 and comes in two versions Full Flavor and Menthol Flavor. Both kits contain the same basic items:

1 Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
1 Atomizer
1 USB charger
4 cartridges

The kit is presented in a case which looks like a normal cigarette box. They recommend that you charge the battery for 2 hours before use and that you don’t leave it charging for more than 3 hours. An LED on the charger tells you when it’s ready to be removed, and an LED on the cigarette blinks when it needs to be recharged. Cartridge life is good – each one being equal to around a pack of cigarettes. The battery last for about 100 puffs, or about half a cartridge. It’s definitely a good idea to purchase a spare, unfortunately they are fairly expensive at $28.99.

We tested the menthol flavor and it had a nice ‘minty’ flavor, with a good amount of vapor. All in all a good choice for those who want to ‘test the waters’ without spending too much money up front.

Vapornine Rio Starter Kit [10% off coupon available]

nedbenj — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 15:09:41 +0000

Vapornine Rio

Vapornine’s Rio kit shares the same matte black coloring and blue LED as their popular Nebula offering, but is styled differently. Unlike the Nebula – but like most other electronic cigarettes – the atomizer in the Rio is separate from the cartridge. In this kit you actually get two atomizers, together with 2 batteries, a wall charger and 10 empty cartridges to fill with the vapor liquid of your choice. The kit sells for $56.95. With 10ml of vapor liquid or ‘juice’ as Vapornine calls it, currently at a discounted price of $4.90 (normally $9.95); this kit is great value for money.

Ok so it’s good value, but does it work well? We’re happy to say a resounding ‘yes’! It’s an elegant design and is built as well as the Nebula and smokes well too. We had no trouble getting a full day’s use from one battery. The provision of a spare atomizer is a great bonus. As the juice was so cheap, we bought 3 different flavors with the kit: Carolina Tobacco, Menthol and Coffee. Although all were perfectly good, despite the number of different flavors we’ve tried, we always seem to end up preferring normal tobacco flavor. We are happy to recommend this kit, it functions well and you get the benefit of Vapornine’s usual high level of customer service.

Vapornine V9 Nebula Starter Kit [10% off coupon available]

Vapornine Starter Kit

Vapornine E-Cigarette

Currently on sale at $56.95 – a big discount from the normal price of $79.95, this matte black starter kit represents very good value for money – even better if you use the coupon code below to get an extra 10% discount!. It’s supplied with the 2 lithium-ion batteries and a choice of regular or usb charger. However, Vapornine don’t include what they call ‘Cartomizers’ (unusually for an electronic cigarette, the atomizer and cartidge are one self-contained unit) with the kit. This is actually a bonus as you get to choose the strengths and flavor yourself. They cost $11,95 for a pack of 5 and come in 3 strengths of tobacco flavor and 4 of menthol. This still makes it cheaper than many other kits. A user manual is available in pdf format on their website.

Build quality is good and the Nebula produces a lot of well-flavored vapor with a nice ‘throat hit’. The batteries should be charged for 8 hours when you first get the kit and each recharge takes a very reasonable 3-4 hours. A bright blue LED lights up on the tip when you inhale, this looks good in combination with the black body. If you are thinking of refilling the cartridges rather than buying new ones (some people prefer this as you can make your own custom blends, and it can be much cheaper), then no problem, with the Nebula refilling is very easy. You can buy empty cartridges and ‘vapor juice’ in 10ml or 30ml bottles from their website.

Vapornine offer a 90 day warranty and a 14 day money-back guarantee with all their starter kits.

This kit is one of our top recommendations – we really like it!

SmokeStik Premium Starter Kit [10% off!]

nedbenj — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 20:27:28 +0000

SmokeStik Premium Starter Kit

SmokeStik claim their products are the only Electronic Cigarettes assembled and packaged in the USA. The SmokeStik Premium is styled to resemble a real cigarette in size and color, with an orange LED in the tip. The kit comes with:

2 Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries
1 Atomizer
1 Wall charger
3 Cartomizers (1 high – 16mg nicotine, 1 medium – 8mg nicotine and 1 menthol – 8mg nicotine)

This e-cigarette draws very well and produces plenty of dense vapor. The taste of the supplied cartridges is good, we preferred the menthol flavor. You can use the unit with the supplied cartomizers (atomizer and cartridge in one unit), or buy separate cartridges, to use with the atomizer. The cartridges cost $8.95 for a 5 pack ($1.79 each), or $69.95 for 50 ($1.40 each). Cartomizers cost $4.95 each, or $19.95 for a 5 pack. Replacement atomizers are $14.95. With the SmokeStik, it’s more economical to use separate atomizers and cartridges.

A fully charged battery will last for a whole day and the supplied mains charger takes 3-4 hours to recharge. USB and car chargers are available separately at $14.95 each. SmokeStik also produce 2 other kits: the Platinum ($99.95), which has a silver battery and black atomizer; and the Royale (also $99.95), an elegant all-white model with gold bands at the ends of the battery and a faceted diamond-like LED.

The $89.95 price tag of the Premium model puts it in the lower-middle cost bracket and it’s well worth the asking price. We loved this kit. A definite thumbs up!

Smokeless Delite Recession Starter Kit

nedbenj — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 19:37:45 +0000

Smokeless Delite Recession Starter Kit

A cut-down version of their Premo kit, this recession-busting offering is priced at just $37.99. To reduce costs, the cartridges are sold separately – although this does have a benefit in that you can choose which flavor you want. The kit includes:

1 Rechargeable battery
1 Atomizer
1 USB charger

The biggest drawback of this kit is that you only get 1 battery. It’s normal to have one in use and one on charge ready to be swapped out when you need it. However, once you add the cost of a spare battery ($20), and a pack of cartridges ($13), it still works out cheaper than buying their normal Premo kit. The unit performs well, and especially if you’re willing to get by with 1 battery, this is a good way of trying electronic cigarettes without spending too much money.

Smoking Everywhere Electronic Cigarette 2.0

nedbenj — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 10:19:12 +0000

Smoking Everywhere Starter Kit

Smoking Everywhere are based in Florida and distribute a number of electronic cigarette models and also an e-cigar. We took a look at their biggest seller, the Electronic Cigarette 2.0 Starter Kit. The kit includes the following:

2 Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries
5 Tobacco flavor cartridges (16mg nicotine)
Wall charger with adapter and US power lead
English manual

The unit emulates a real cigarette very well, even from quite close up it looks like the real thing. We found the battery lasted a full day on one charge with normal use, though if you’re a very heavy smoker you might not quite make a whole day. We were very happy with the design and function of the unit, however we think that supplying 5 tobacco flavor cartridges with full strength nicotine (16mg is about the equivalent of a filterless cigarette), is an odd decision. If you’re only going to supply one strength of cartridge in the kit, why not make it the medium one? On the plus side, replacement cartridges are available at $9.99 for 5 – some of the cheapest we’ve seen, and there is a large range available, including Apple, Cherry, Menthol and Strawberry.

We suggest buying a pack or two of cartridges with the kit in order to get the strength and flavor you want. As the kit currently retails at $89.99, this still represents reasonably good value for money, especially as they offer a 12 month manufacturer replacement warranty.

Smokeless Delite Premo Edition Starter Kit

nedbenj — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 11:39:25 +0000

Smokeless Delite Premo Edition Starter Kit

Included in the Smokeless Delite Premo Edition Electronic Cigarette Starter Kit:

5 Cartridges (with different nicotine strengths from 0mg to 16 mg)
2 Batteries
1 Atomizer
1 Charger
An instruction manual

The kit retails at $99.99 and contains everything you need. The unit itself about the same size as a regular cigarette and looks pretty much the same as one too, an orange/red LED that lights up when you inhale adds to the effect. The battery supplies enough power for a respectable 150 puffs between charges. The supplied cartridges are tobacco flavor and you get 2 x high strength (16mg nicotine), 2 x medium strength (11 mg nicotine) and 1 x low strength (6 mg nicotine). Although we would have preferred being able to choose the flavor of the cartridges in the kit, the taste of the supplied carts was good and everything fuctioned just fine. Additional flavors are available for purchase on their website. We experienced very good customer service, we received a reply to a query by email within a few hours and the product reached us in under 48 hours. You may also find this cigarette being sold as the “Joye 306″. Recommended for those who prefer their electronic cigarette to look like the old fashioned tobacco variety. Special offer: you can get 10% off Smokeless Delite kits by using the code ‘ecigreviews’ on checkout.

The 30 day money-back guarantee is a nice touch not offered by all vendors.
