Vapornine V9 Nebula Starter Kit

nedbenj — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 12:38:02 +0000

Vapornine Starter Kit

Vapornine E-Cigarette

Currently on sale at just $29.95 in its basic configuration, this matte black starter kit represents very good value for money. It’s supplied with 2 lithium-ion batteries and a wall adapter charger. Vapornine include a sampler pack of 5 ‘Cartomizers’ (the atomizer and cartidge are one self-contained unit) with the kit. You can choose the flavor and nicotine strength of the cartridges at the time of ordering. An easy-to-follow user guide completes the starter pack.

Vapornine’s website provides a really easy means of customizing your purchase, allowing you to add your choice of extra cartridges, batteries, chargers and carry cases.

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 bottles from their website, they currently cost $7.95.

There is huge range of flavors available, including Carolina Tobacco, Crisp Menthol, 555 (described as ‘nutty tobacco’), Untamed Strawberry, Vanilla Ice, Cherry, Green Tea, Blueberry and many more.

Vapornine offer a 30 day warranty and a 30 day money-back guarantee with all their starter kits.

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

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 is currently on sale at $69.99 (normal retail: $129.99) 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 and lifetime warranty are nice touches not offered by all vendors.

Cirrus II Starter Kit

nedbenj — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 19:26:35 +0000

Cirrus II Starter KIt

The Cirrus II represents an evolution of the popular Cirrus model from White Cloud Cigarettes; providing greater battery life and twice the amount of vapor in a smaller, lighter package.

The kit comprises the following:

2 Lithium-polymer rechargeable batteries
5 Cartridges
1 Fast USB charger
1 Comprehensive user manual

Our test unit arrived promptly and in very attractive packaging – this is a model which says ‘quality’ right from the start. Inside the pack you’ll find 2 long-life batteries, which can last up to 7.5 hours per charge, tipped with an orange/red LED; and 5 ‘SimpleSmoke’ cartridges. On the Cirrus II, the atomizer is integrated into the cartridge itself, meaning you get a new one every time you attach a new cartridge. This makes for a mess- and maintenance-free solution. Cartridge flavors include tobacco, menthol, vanilla, espresso, chocolate and clove, in varying nicotine strengths – at the time of ordering you can also opt for a ‘variety’ pack in full or light strengths. We received the full-strength variety pack which contained regular, menthol, espresso, clove and vanilla flavors. Each cartridge is the equivalent of around 40 cigarettes.

The last component in the kit is a USB charger which the battery screws firmly into, and it’s one of the best we’ve seen. Rather than the usual 3 to 4 hours charge time necessary for many electronic cigarette batteries, this unit will do the job in well under an hour.

The Cirrus II is probably the best model we’ve tested to date, but it’s also one of the most expensive ($249.95 – but see the offers below for valuable discounts). However, in this instance it really is a case of the old adage: you get what you pay for. The unit is very well constructed and performs perfectly, producing lots of great tasting vapor. We think this unit will go on working long after many cheaper alternatives will start malfunctioning.

Two other items deserve a mention. One is the user manual, which is well designed and very comprehensive – worlds apart from many we’ve seen. The other is the free shipping offered to customers within the US.

NOTE: You can use the coupon code 2YEARWALL to get a free 2 year extended warranty (normally $29.95) plus a free wall adapter (a $24.95 value). The code 2YEARCAR will give you the free warranty and a free car adapter (also worth $24.95). To get your free items please click the link to the Whitecloud website below to purchase a starter kit of your choice, and use the code you want.

Smokeless Delite Carrying Charger

nedbenj — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 13:01:27 +0000

Designed for use with the Smokeless Delite Premo, this portable charger is a handy addition for people who spend time on the move. It’s simple to operate – just plug it into any USB port using the supplied lead and it will charge up the device. Then, whenever you need to recharge the battery on your electronic cigarette, just plug it into the charger, wherever you may be, and away you go!

3 LEDs on the device let you know how much power is left for recharging your cigarettes.

In addition to the battery you are charging, the case has room for 3 cartridges and a spare atomizer.

Tip for Refilling Cartridges

nedbenj — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:49:50 +0000

Just a quick tip:
If you refill your own cartridges (a good way to save some money), then make sure you don’t add too much liquid at any time. Drip it in slowly until the wadding is thoroughly soaked, but without excess liquid on top. Then wait a couple of minutes to make sure the wadding has fully absorbed the liquid before you attach the cartridge to the cigarette. Never use ecigarettes with an empty cartridge – you risk irreparably damaging the atomizer

Portable Charger Kits for Electronic Cigarettes

nedbenj — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 22:31:05 +0000

Portable chargers have recently come onto the market, allowing electronic cigarette users to recharge their devices when they’re away from a standard power source (wall socket, usb or car charger). If like me, you’re on the road a lot then they are really handy. You should be able to charge a battery 4 or 5 times before the charger itself needs recharging. If you’re in the market for a new kit, then I recommend you take a look at the Vapornine model. It’s one of our favorites – a great value for money kit.

LUCI Starter Kit

nedbenj — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 11:37:22 +0000

Luci Basic Starter Pack

LUCI Electronic Cigarette

LUCI market 4 different Starter Kits: Basic ($54.99), Extended ($94.99), Advanced ($144.99) and Complete ($194.99). First lets take a look at their cheapest offering, which comes with the following:

1 LUCI electronic cigarette
1 Standard wall charger
5 Cartridges, choice of flavor/strength

The kit is nicely presented in black and gold packaging, matching the color scheme of the actual cigarette. LUCI say the 5 cartridges supplied should last 1 to 2 weeks, of course depending on how much you use the device. They lasted us about 10 days, so this seems accurate. We had no trouble getting a full days’ use from a fully charged battery. Car and USB chargers are available separately ($19.99 each) for people who want more charging options. The first thing we liked about LUCI was that you get to choose the strength and flavor of the cartridges supplied with your order; many vendors don’t offer the option. You can choose from Cherry, Coffee, Menthol or Tobacco flavor and nicotine levels from Zero, Medium (11mg) or High (16mg).

The unit is the same size as a regular cigarette and doesn’t feel too heavy in the hand, though it’s sturdy and well built. An orange LED (blue in some units) in the tip lights up when you inhale and flashes when the device is charging, it turns green when charging is complete. We ordered the menthol flavor cartridges, which had a nice fresh and slightly sweet taste. A pack of 5 replacement cartridges costs a very reasonable $9.99 – as with all electronic cigarettes, they are much cheaper to smoke than regular ones. In this case, your smoking costs would be more than halved. The cartridges are an open design which means that if you prefer they could be refilled with one of the hundreds of liquids available, rather than discarded and replaced.

The Extended Starter Kit is the same as the standard kit, with the addition of an extra battery and another charger (you can choose between a car, USB or wall type). You also get 30 cartridges instead of 5 – enough for around a month of use.

The Advanced Starter Kit is like the Extended Kit but with 55 cartridges, which should last a normal smoker about 3 months.

The Complete Starter Kit provides 1 LUCI electronic cigarette, 1 extra extended battery, one of each type of charger, a carrying case and 105 cartridges – good for around 6 months of usage.

To give you piece of mind, LUCI offer a 30 day money-back guarantee and a lifetime warranty on the atomizer. Also, free shipping is available on orders over $100 – we suggest adding another pack or two of cartridges to your order if you choose the basic kit, so that you can qualify for this deal. All in all, a highly recommended product.

Cigarti Electronic Cigarette Set

nedbenj — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 08:49:17 +0000

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 MY2011 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 $89.99 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.

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.

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 carts is good, we preferred the menthol flavor. The cartomizers cost $19.95 for a 5 pack.

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 several other kits: the Halligan ($89.95), which has an extended charge red battery and black atomizer; the all silver Pitbull ($99.95); the Pink ($89.95); the Hendu Elite which is made from stainless steel and has a purple cubic zirconia gem as its tip; the Royale ($89.95) which has a white cubic zirconia tip and white cartomizers; and the Jet, which as it’s name suggests, is all black.

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 $24.99. 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.
