Green Smoke revolutionized the electronic cigarette industry with their introduction of the cartomizer. This disposable pre-filled cartridge combined with an atomizer replaced refillable cartridges with separate atomizers, turning Green Smoke electronic cigarette into their trademark 2-piece e-cigarette system. Refillable cartridges can be messy and difficult to use, and atomizers would clog and wear out over time, but the cartomizer was simple to use, and replacing the atomizer each time a cartridge was replaced eliminated cleaning and improved the smoking experience for electronic cigarette users. Though relatively more expensive than other e-cigs, Green Smoke is widely considered one of the best electronic cigarettes in the world, along with V2 Cigs and Blu Cigs. Green Smoke’s cartomizers are clean, efficient, and simple, their batteries are long-lasting, and their e-cigarettes produce the most vapor volume in the industry, almost justifying the extra cost. Smokers just can’t go wrong with Green Smoke.

Looks Like A Cigarette

Green Smoke electronic cigarettes have the appearance of a filtered tobacco cigarette with an LED indicator light in the tip which glows orange when the user inhales. Most users who wrote Green Smoke reviews reported that the electronic cigarettes produced a high volume of thick, velvety, realistic, and natural vapor that had the feel and appearance of real cigarette smoke. The disposable cartomizers make the performance of Green Smoke more consistent than that of refillable e-cigarettes because the cartomizers are new, stay clean and unclogged. Overall, Green Smoke’s packaging evokes a natural theme with its green color and leaf design, and makes the transition to e-cigarettes as easy and realistic as tobacco cigarettes.

Green Smoke Starter Kits

Green Smoke offers many starter kits, with the cheapest being the Social Smoker Starter Kit priced at $99.99. This Green Smoke starter kit contains a USB charger, wall charger and one battery, but is not practical for regular smokers, especially ones who smoke on-the-go or at least a pack of cigarettes a day. Next, the Green Smoke Starter Kit, their most popular product, comes with a long and a short battery, 10 cartomizers, a home charger kit, and a USB cigarette which can be plugged into a USB port and used while it is charging. The basic kit retails for $129.99. Although Green Smoke is a bit more expensive than a number of other brands, most other e-cigarettes only come with five disposable cartridges, and Green Smoke has coupon offers which can help you get the cheap electronic cigarettes.

Battery Life

Most Green Smoke reviews were satisfied with the 7-9 hour long battery life of Green Smoke e-cigarettes, providing heavy smokers the ability to smoke the entire day without requiring a charger. Even after the e-cig battery dies, the corded charger offers the convenience of smoking your electronic cigarette while charging, allowing you to never be without your nicotine or e-cigarette. The only downside mentioned in a few reviews was in regards to the amount of time needed for the batteries to recharge. Some Green Smoke reviews complained that it took several hours to fully recharge both the long and the short batteries, which might be an issue for heavy smokers; however, this complaint can easily be overcome by simply charging your e-cig battery every night so smokers have two fresh batteries available during the day. Either way, Green Smoke gives smokers plenty of options and alternatives to ensure you will never be without your nicotine.

Flavor and Draw

Green Smoke e-cigarettes have a smooth, consistent draw that is very similar to the draw of a tobacco cigarette. This electronic cigarette produces a vapor that has the look and feel of smoke and a rich, full flavor. Flavors include Absolute Tobacco, Red Label Tobacco, Gold Tobacco, Menthol Ice, Vanilla Dream, Mocha Mist, and Smooth Chocolate. Green Smoke cartomizers are priced at about $2.50 each for the Classic cartomizers and about $3.00 each for the new FlavorMax cartomizers. Green Smoke cartomizers are the equivalent of about 30 tobacco cigarettes or 360 puffs, and as mentioned before, are known to produce the most vapor and flavor in the industry.

FlavorMax Cartomizers

In July of 2011, Green Smoke introduced its new FlavorMax Cartomizers. These cartridges are slightly larger than most electronic cigarette cartridges, but produce more vapor and last longer than their predecessors. The Classic cartomizers are still available but will be replaced with the FlavorMax cartomizers over the next several months. Independent Green Smoke customer reviews gave the FlavorMax cartomizers extremely positive reviews. All the Green Smoke flavors are excellent, and many smokers hail Green Smoke as having the best cartomizers and nicotine flavors they’ve tasted. The Red Label (like Marlboro Reds) and Strong Tobacco are extremely similar to their tobacco cigarette counterparts, mimicking the tastes well and making it very easy for longtime smokers to make the switch to electronic cigarettes without really knowing the difference.

Green Smoke also produces Chocolate and Mocha flavors, which smokers said strongly resembled a Hershey’s Chocolate Bar and a Mocha Coffee, respectively. Lastly, Green Smoke reviews praised the menthol-flavored cartomizers as exceptional, offering the same strong, minty, and refreshing taste of menthol tobacco cigarettes. Green Smoke prides itself on having the best flavors for their e-cigarettes, and most smokers and reviews seem to agree, one of the many reasons Green Smoke is considered the best, premium electronic cigarette.

Green Smoke Saves Smokers Money

The average cost of a pack of tobacco cigarettes is $6.00, while the cost of a FlavorMax cartomizer is $3.00. One pack of cigarettes contains 20 cigarettes and one cartomizer is the equivalent of about 30 cigarettes. This means the average smoker can save about $6.00 on the cost of a pack of tobacco cigarettes by switching to Green Smoke, making cheap electronic cigarettes the best way for smokers to save money. For smokers who go through a pack of cigarettes a day, this means a savings of more than $25 per week and over $1,000 in a year. Electronic cigarettes do not need lighters and do not leave odors in clothing, which saves even more money. In addition, you will qualify for cheaper life and health insurance, as well. Simply put, despite the upfront costs of a starter kit, in the long term, electronic cigarettes are cheap and will save you money compared to tobacco cigarettes.

Customer Service

Consumers are satisfied with the customer service at Green Smoke. The company offers a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee and a 1-Year Limited Warranty on their electronic cigarette starter kits and products. In almost all the e-cigarette reviews we’ve read and consumers we interviewed, there were no complaints regarding product performance or quality – in fact, Green Smoke reviews suggest most smokers are intensely loyal to Green Smoke and believe they provide the best electronic cigarette available. Consumers also reported fast delivery of their orders and prompt, courteous responses to their e-mail and telephone inquiries.

Pros and Cons of Green Smoke E-Cigs

The most common complaint in Green Smoke reviews is the cost, though Green Smoke e-cigs are still much cheaper than tobacco cigarettes. Green Smoke e-cigarettes also resemble “real” cigarettes so closely that they may cause complaints in areas where smoking tobacco is banned. The carry case is not included in the starter kit and does not have room to carry the charger. On the positive side, most reviewers who compared brands found that Green Smoke had better quality nicotine cartridges, a high volume of vapor production and better tasting flavors than their competitors, and tobacco smokers reported that Green Smoke gave the same hit in the throat as tobacco smoke, making the switch easy and hassle-free.

Green Smoke Reviews

Green Smoke, along with V2 Cigs and Blu Cigs, is one of the best electronic cigarettes you can buy. Consumers were impressed with the draw, vapor production, and flavor of Green Smoke which offered an experience that was very close to that of smoking tobacco. Although Green Smoke is priced higher than some other e-cigarettes, most users felt the quality of the product justified the additional cost. The introduction of the FlavorMax cartomizer demonstrates Green Smoke’s commitment to improving their high quality product. We highly recommend Green Smoke for new e-cigarette users as well as longtime e-cig smokers looking to try another brand.

The new Blu Cigs starter kits have some key differences and benefits from previous kits and other brands of electronic cigarettes, making Blu Cigs a great choice, if not one of the best electronic cigarettes available for smokers transitioning from tobacco cigarettes to e-cigarettes. Cheap prices and recent improvements to their unique personal charging case and disposable cartomizers have made Blu Cigs one of the most popular electronic cigarettes in the US and around the world.

Electronic cigarette smokers who provided a Blu Cigs review have rated the new starter kits their favorite e-cigarette, giving Blu Cigs nearly 5 stars for their innovative use of technology, low cost, great tasting and long-lasting nicotine cartridges and flavors, and for the overall satisfaction of the smoking experience.

Price and Value

Blu Cig starter kits are available for as little as $69.95, making Blu cigs one of the cheapest electronic cigarettes in the market. In addition to a wall charger, a USB charger, two batteries, 5 cartridges, free shipping, a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee and One Year Warranty, Blu Cigs are the only e-cigarettes that include the personal charging case in their starter kit, making their starter kits an outstanding value for tobacco smokers who want to make the switch to e-cigarettes. On top of this, Blu Cigs also employs the 2-piece electronic cigarette, combining the atomizer and cartridge into a “cartomizer”, which is disposable and does not require maintenance. Nicotine cartridges come in a variety of nicotine strengths and flavors, and can be purchased in packs of 5 for about $2.40 each, which is about half the price of the equivalent number of tobacco cigarettes.

Personal Charging Case

As mentioned previously, the Blu Cigs carrying case is among the biggest advantages and conveniences smokers can enjoy, allowing you to recharge Blu Electronic Cigarettes on-the-go up to 6 times. The new personal charging case has smart graphics and a slide lid, which is an improvement over the magnetic lid used in older kits. The Blu Cigs Pack also features an LED light that makes it easy for users to change cartomizers, even in dark rooms. Older portable chargers had screw in ports, but the new charger case has a drop-in port that makes it super simple to use when recharging your e-cigarettes on the go. Furthermore, the deluxe portable charger has a social feature and vibrates whenever another Blu Cig user is within 50 feet. A micro USB port allows sharing on social media, and the feature can be turned off by the user.

Draw and Vapor

Blu Cigs new electronic cigarettes feature an easy draw and plenty of vapor to satisfy tobacco smokers, offering about 250 puffs per cartomizer. Blu Cigs uses Johnson Creek and 100% vegetable glycerin (VG) for their nicotine cartridges and e-juice. Johnson Creek is a company with a great reputation for cleanliness and high-quality nicotine juices and flavors. The flavor in electronic cigarettes using vegetable glycerin is usually less intense than the flavor in e-cigarettes using propylene glycol, but Blu Cigs does manage to provide good tasting flavors, long lasting cartomizers, high volume of vapor, and an overall satisfying smoking experience, as mentioned by many customer reviews.

Many smokers just simply prefer and enjoy the taste of Blu Cigs compared to other electronic cigarettes, especially the Classic Tobacco flavor because it is most similar to the taste of traditional tobacco cigarettes. Other nicotine flavors include Menthol, Java, Cherry, and Vanilla, as well as 4 nicotine strength levels such as Full (16mg), Light (12mg), Ultra Light (8mg), and No Nicotine (0mg). Blu Cigs reviews rate draw and vapor quality at 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Blu Cigs Battery

Like most electronic cigarettes, Blu Cigs uses a micro lithium ion battery to supply power to the atomizer. The new batteries seem to have a longer life than previous models and are very light, but just like all other short or mini batteries, this micro lithium battery has a shorter life than other larger, longer, and bulkier batteries, so there is of course a trade off between mobility/size and battery life. However, Blu Cigs has developed a “100” version of the e-cigarette available for those who prefer a longer battery life, but these units are slightly heavier than the standard size and the utility really depends on what consumers value more – length and weight or battery life. The starter kit comes with two power supplies, so one can be charged while the other is in use, making both batteries convenient for smokers on the go. Either way, you will never be without your nicotine. In Blu Cig reviews from users, the battery in the new starter kits rated 4.5 out of 5 stars for longevity and responsiveness.

The Blue LED Light

Electronic cigarettes have an LED indicator light at the tip which glows when the smoker inhales to indicate that the battery is operating and responding. In many electronic cigarettes, this indicator light is orange or red and looks like the glowing tip of a tobacco cigarette. Blu Cigs have a distinctive blue LED light that cannot be mistaken for a tobacco cigarette in airports, bars, or restaurants where tobacco use is banned, helping consumers avoid the unwanted attention. Many Blu Cigs reviews cited the blue LED light as a plus when smoking in public.

Johnson Creek E-Juice

Blu Cigs has continued to use Johnson Creek as the sole supplier of e-juice for their cartomizers. As an e-juice vendor, Johnson Creek has a reputation for being the cleanest, most transparent, and highest quality e-juice vendor, with all their juices and flavors manufactured and produced in the United States. Although many vendors use propylene glycol in their e-juice, Johnson Creek uses only vegetable glycerin and food quality flavorings in their products. Blu Cigs has five available flavors in their cartomizers: Vivid Vanilla, Cherry Crush, Classic Tobacco, Magnificent Menthol, and Java Jolt. Cartomizers are also available in different nicotine levels.

Disposable Cartomizers

The cartomizer is a pre-filled disposable cartridge with an atomizer. Since each cartridge has its own atomizer, there is no clogging and no need to clean the atomizer. Although slightly more expensive to use than refillable cartridges, cartomizers are more convenient and sanitary; and they are still much cheaper than tobacco cigarettes. Each cartomizer is equivalent to about one pack (20) cigarettes and costs about $2.40, with bulk orders being even cheaper.

Blu Cig Disposable E-Cigarettes

Most Blu Cig reviews do not mention the excellent, quality disposable electronic cigarettes made by the company. Blu Cigs Disposables have excellent draw and produce a good amount of vapor to satisfy tobacco smokers. Blu Cigs sells disposable electronic cigarettes online in a variety of flavors that you may not find elsewhere. Priced at about $8.00, Blu Cigs disposables are about the same price as a pack of tobacco cigarettes, but are not meant to be a permanent replacement for cigarettes. Blu Disposable e-cigarettes are a great way to try electronic cigarettes without buying a starter kit until smokers are sure they want to make the switch to e-cigs.

Customer Service

Electronic cigarettes are not a one-time purchase so customer service is an important consideration when choosing an electronic cigarette starter kit. Blu Cigs has one of the best reputations for customer service in the electronic cigarette industry. Most smokers and consumers who have written a Blu Cigs review have indicated a very high degree of satisfaction with the service Blu Cigs offers to their customers. The company has a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee on their products, a one year limited warranty on starter kits, and free shipping.

Blu Cigs Review

Overall, electronic cigarette users indicate Blu Cigs may be the best electronic cigarette in the market, or at least is tied with Green Smoke and V2 Cigs for the best quality e-cigs, nicotine cartridges, flavors, customer satisfaction and overall smoking experience. Blu Cigs has improved the personal charging case, and the new cartomizers have an easy draw that produces more vapor than earlier cartridges. The costs of both Blu Cig starter kits and disposable cartomizers are cheap and affordable when compared to other electronic cigarettes and very inexpensive compared to tobacco products. Users providing a Blu Cigs review mentioned the new social feature as a great way to bring e-cigarette users together.

After testing and reviewing, ElectronicCigarettes123.com gives Blu Cigs a 5 star rating to reiterate our opinion that Blu Electronic Cigarettes are among the best and most popular e-cigarettes for smokers. We highly recommend you give Blu Cigs a try, and don’t forget to come back and give us your Blu Cigs review, too!

South Beach Smoke Review

Customer Service

Electronic cigarettes are safer, cleaner, and cheaper than tobacco cigarettes while still providing the smoking experience and nicotine intake required for smokers. Since e-cigarettes first became available in 2005, dozens of companies have introduced products. South Beach Smoke is a leader in the industry and offers one of the cheapest electronic cigarettes and starter kits on the market to smokers making the switch to e-cigs. Smokers wishing to try electronic cigarettes can buy a South Beach Smoke Deluxe Starter Kit for less than the price of a carton of tobacco cigarettes. Overall, the new South Beach Smoke e-cigarettes boast a stronger and much improved battery for more power, longer life, and better performance, as well as good vapor production and a clean, low-maintenance two piece electronic cigarette design. South Beach Smoke’s flavors taste better with the new 4.2 volt battery, especially the tobacco and menthol nicotine cartridges; however, some customer reviews still report bland coffee and vanilla flavors.

Graphics and Design

The graphics on the South Beach Smoke cigarettes are simple, and the batteries, short and long, are white or black. Disposable and refillable cartomizers are brown, giving this e-cigarette the appearance of a regular tobacco cigarette. Unlike their competitors, South Beach Smokes does not use plastic covers over the red LED lights at the tip of the cigarette; instead they have a crystal, which looks more like the lit tip of a tobacco cigarette and much more authentic than the standard plastic red LED lights. The batteries are slightly wider than those of other brands, but the difference is not visually significant, and results in 3 to 4 hours of battery life, even with heavy use.

Battery Life and Responsiveness

Recent improvements to the batteries in South Beach Smoke’s e-cigarettes increased battery life, vapor production and changed the flavor of some of their cartridges. The new batteries are 4.2 volts, longer-lasting, and have enhanced the flavor of the e-juice. South Beach has always featured excellent battery life, and the new lithium ion batteries last even longer between charging than the previous models. South Beach Smoke’s batteries are wider and longer than many other e-cigarettes’ batteries because they are larger and longer lasting – the tradeoff between mobility and size versus power and battery life.

Cartomizers and Cartridges

South Beach Smoke has two different electronic cigarette designs. The South Beach Smoke Premium Starter Kit features a three piece design with separate flavor cartridges and atomizers. The newer South Beach Deluxe Starter Kit features a two piece design and has disposable cartomizers which contain both the e-juice and a fresh atomizer in each cartridge. Many electronic cigarette makers have discontinued sales of the less expensive three piece design, but South Beach Smoke offers smokers the option. Disposable cartomizers are slightly more expensive than flavor cartridges, but most users feel cartomizers (cartridges and atomizers in one) result in less clogging, offering better draw and a cleaner vaping experience.

South Beach Smoke Starter Kits

There are two starter kits available from South Beach Smoke, the Deluxe and the Premium. The Deluxe Starter Kit features a long and a short battery, 5 cartomizers, a wall charger, and a $100 gas rebate certificate, retailing for $59.99. The Deluxe Plus Kit includes the Deluxe Starter Kit plus a car charger, a USB charger, and a carrying case for $104.99. The Premium Kit has the three piece design with reusable atomizer and comes with only one battery. The cost of the Premium Starter Kit is $29.99, while the Premium Plus Kit also includes a car charger and a USB charger but only one battery and retails for $74.99. We highly recommend smokers go with the Deluxe or Deluxe Plus Kit, featuring the newer 2-piece design for a no-hassle smoking experience. Constantly replacing the atomizer and cartridges with new ones will prevent clogging, ensuring voluminous vapor production and two batteries will guarantee you are never without the power to satisfy your nicotine craving.

Flavor and Draw

Both the two and three piece designs offer five flavors of e-juice; tobacco, menthol, cherry, chocolate, and vanilla. South Beach Smoke reviews felt the two piece design offered a better and more consistent draw than the three piece design. All agreed that the new battery is more responsive, and it improved both the vapor production and the flavor of these electronic cigarettes. We agreed with some smokers feeling that a few of the flavors were a bit bland, but all gave high marks to the tobacco and menthol flavored cartridges.

Replacement Cartridges

When buying an electronic cigarette starter kit, users should realize that it will be necessary to buy refill cartridges, or cartomizers. Replacement cartomizers for the Deluxe South Beach Smoke e-cigarette are priced at $2.66 each, which compares favorably to the price of similar nicotine cartridges for other e-cigarettes. Premium cartridges cost $2.33 each, but are equivalent to about one pack of tobacco cigarettes, while Deluxe cartridges are equivalent to about 1.5 packs of cigarettes. As far as the number of puffs versus cost, Deluxe cartomizers are a real value. As part of their Home Delivery Program, South Beach Smoke offers customers automatic shipment of replacement cartridges which are billed to the user’s credit card for greater customer convenience.

Quality and Value

An established company with an excellent reputation, South Beach Smoke makes a top quality product. Most South Beach Smoke reviews found the e-cigarette components to be well made and long lasting. Consumers who choose to become members of the South Beach club receive a life time warranty on electronic components. The cost of components, cartridges, and starter kits compares favorably with similar e-cig products, making South Beach Smoke an excellent value. Several independent reviewers named South Beach Smoke as one of the best e-cigarettes for the money.

Available Accessories

South Beach Smoke sells basic accessories at reasonable prices. The accessories include car chargers, USB chargers, and one design of carrying case. The carrying case is flat; it holds one e-cigarette and two replacement cartridges, or cartomizers and is priced at $17.99. Replacement batteries sell for $24.99 for the short battery and 29.99 for the long battery and are available in black or white. Replacement atomizers for the three piece design e-cigarette are $19.99 for a two pack. Cartridges and parts for the two and three piece design e-cigs are not interchangeable.

Customer Service

Since electronic cigarettes require ongoing purchases of cartridges and replacement batteries, customer service is extremely important. Our experience was similar to other South Beach Smoke reviews, rating their customer service good to excellent. Unlike many of their competitors, South Beach Smoke offers users the option of signing up for automatic shipments of replacement cartridges so you do not have to remember to order cartridges before they run out. South Beach Smoke provides 5 star customer service, and almost all reviews from customers reflect their quick responsiveness and courteous demeanor, highlighting South Beach as a company that values its loyal consumers.

Advantages of South Beach Smoke

The average smoker can save 40 to 75 percent of the cost of smoking tobacco, or about $1,000 per year, by switching to South Beach Smoke e-cigarettes. The odorless water vapor produced by electronic cigarettes offers no health risks to nonsmokers and much lower health risks to smokers than tobacco cigarettes. Since electronic cigarettes produce no tar, e-cigs will not stain smokers’ teeth and fingers or cause odor on the user’s breath. Smokers also can save on dry cleaning bills, the cost of lighters, and avoid tobacco cigarette bans by making the switch to South Beach Smoke electronic cigarettes.

South Beach Smoke Reviews

South Beach Smoke offers a quality product for an excellent price. Smokers thinking about switching from tobacco to electronic cigarettes can purchase a starter kit at an amazing low cost and receive a $100 gas card rebate, which makes even the most expensive starter kit offered by the company virtually free. Electronic cigarettes allow smokers to get their nicotine fix in restaurants, bars, and even airports where tobacco cigarettes are banned. Clean, odorless South Beach Smoke e-cigarettes are a great alternative to tobacco products, and our South Beach Smoke review pegs them as a good electronic cigarette for new smokers. Between the new and improved batteries and their cheap prices, South Beach Smoke is a good value and entry-level e-cigarette.

Customer Service

Clean, sleek design and packaging, and an electronic cigarette with a realistic appearance are the hallmarks of Safe Cigs. Unlike many of their e-cig competitors, Safe Cigs come wrapped and packaged straight from the e-cigarette manufacturer, evoking a sense of high quality and cleanness. Safe Cigs are incredibly user friendly, offering an in depth guide on the parts of your electronic cigarette, how it works, and how to use it. Safe Cig’s electronic cigarettes offer a clean, smooth draw, a long-lasting, responsive battery and atomizer, and an overall, great smoking experience. The only drawback is the limited nicotine flavors, though The Safe Cigs offers the most popular flavors tobacco smokers will likely choose anyways. Most customer Safe Cigs Reviews praise their e-cigarettes as one of the best electronic cigarettes you can buy, along with Green Smoke, Blu Cigs, and V2 Cigs.

Design and Packaging

The two piece design of Safe Cigs has a battery and a disposable flavor cartridge which contains the e-juice and an atomizer. Since each cartridge has a fresh atomizer, the draw and flavor of Safe Cigs e-cigarettes is consistent. The batteries are white and the cartridges are tan with flecks, giving Safe Cigs the appearance of tobacco cigarettes. Graphics on the packaging are simple and classy, and it is the only electronic cigarette starter kit to arrive wrapped in shrink wrap, which emphasizes the company’s commitment to quality.

The Safe Cig Batteries

Like most electronic cigarettes, the Safe Cig uses lithium ion batteries. Available only in white, the battery has a life of about 4 to 6 smoking hours between charges. When not in use, the battery goes into standby mode to conserve energy and lasts longer. Most users reported that the battery was very responsive, delivering excellent vapor production from the very first puff, whereas other electronic cigarettes require a few priming drags to warm up the atomizer. The battery is a bit wider and longer than the white part of a tobacco cigarette and smokers will find that electronic cigarettes are heavier than tobacco cigarettes, but weight is always a tradeoff for batteries that offer longer smoking hours. If size is an issue for your e-cigarette needs, The Safe Cigs actually offers a micro e-cigarette called the The Safe Cig Micro, which we discuss later in our review.

Disposable Cartridges

Safe Cigs only markets three cartridge flavors in the United States, traditional original, classic original and menthol. Refills are sold in 7 packs and cost about $2.50 each. Because Safe Cigs utilize a 2-piece electronic cigarette and combine cartridges and atomizers, new refills prevent clogging and provide smokers a cleaner, smoother smoking experiencing. As far as cartridges, the Safe Cigs is one of the cheapest since their cartridges cost about the same as their competitors but deliver strong vapor production and immediate nicotine. Nicotine cartridges are available in 5 strengths from 24 mg to 0 mg of nicotine.

Micro Electronic Cigarettes

The newest product offering from Safe Cigs is the micro e-cigarette. Incredibly small, the battery for this electronic cigarette measures 56mm long, about 8mm wide and lasts for one to two smoking hours between charges. The micro e-cig is light, sleek and easy to handle for tobacco smokers making the switch to e-cigs. Some users believe that the draw and vapor production of this little e-cig is actually better than that of the original Safe Cig, probably due to the extra vents and air intake at the base of the battery. Refill cartridges are available in the same flavors as the originals, but only the 18 mg strength is available for the micro at this time. Overall, the Micro maintains Safe Cigs high quality build, great flavors, and strong vapor, offering an alternative to smokers who prefer convenience and mobility over a long battery life.

Original Starter Kits

There are three starter kits for the original Safe Cig. The basic kit includes one battery, 5 refill cartridges, a USB charger and a wall charger and retails for $69.95. The Starter Kit Pro is the same as the basic kit but contains a second battery and retails for $89.95. The Safe Cigs Starter Kit Deluxe sells for $137.95 and has 3 batteries, 2 USB chargers, a car charger, a wall charger, 10 refill cartridges and a carrying case. Since the cost of additional batteries is $29.95, the Starter Kit Pro or the Starter Kit Deluxe are the best values for smokers making the switch from tobacco cigarettes, though you really can’t go wrong with any of the Safe Cigs products.

Micro Packs

The Safe Cig Micro Pack is actually a starter kit, comes in its own carrying case, and holds two batteries, 7 refill cartridges and a USB charger. The carrying case looks like a traditional cigarette pack and keeps everything the electronic cigarette smoker needs at his or her fingertips. The cost of the Micro Pack is $59.95, making it one of the cheapest starter kits on the market. Refill cartridges for the micro e-cigarette are equivalent to about one pack of tobacco cigarettes. The batteries and cartridges for the Micro are not interchangeable with Safe Cigs originals, but can be purchased for an additional $24.95, though we highly recommend smokers just buy another new Micro pack.

Accessories For Original Safe Cigs

Smokers on-the-go need a carrying case to protect their electronic cigarettes and carry extra cartridges, and the Safe Cig has two great options. Their Safe Carrying Case sells for $12.95 and comes in four colors; black, white, blue and pink. Safe Cigs newest carrying case is also a portable charger called the Blink that will recharge a battery five times before needing an outside power source. It holds 3 refill cartridges and looks like a traditional pack of cigarettes. The Blink is available in red, white and blue and retails for $49.95. If you can afford it, the Blink offers a lot of utility, convenience, and peace of mind, knowing that you will never be without your nicotine or e-cig while out and about.

Accessories For The Micro E-Cig

Although the Micro Pack only includes a USB charger, car and wall chargers for these smaller cigarettes are available. Since the kit has its own carrying case, no carrying case is offered but the Blink portable charger case is available for these smaller electronic cigarettes. The battery life of the Micro electronic cigarette is shorter than that of the originals so the portable charger may be a good investment for heavier smokers who are switching from tobacco to the electronic alternative.

Customer Service

Safe Cigs is known for outstanding customer service and reviews consistently noted that the service was 5 star. The Safe Cig website is user friendly and provides lots of information about their products as well as the advantages of switching to electronic cigarettes. Safe Cigs has a 30-day return policy and a lifetime warranty on their e-cigarettes, which shows their commitment to providing e-smokers with quality products and great value for the long term. Their target market is adult tobacco smokers, and Safe Cig has consciously limited nicotine flavors to prevent attracting children and young adults.

The Safe Cig Reviews

In general, Safe Cigs reviews suggest the company provides quality products at reasonable prices for one of the best values in the industry. Their new micro electronic cigarette is so close to a tobacco cigarette that tobacco smokers will hardly notice the difference when switching to a healthier smoking alternative. Although electronic cigarettes are not considered smoking cessation devices, many smokers are able to end their dependence on tobacco cigarettes, or even nicotine, by switching to this cleaner, safer alternative to tobacco.

V2 Cigs is among the most popular and best e-cigarettes available around the world. Electronic cigarettes offer health benefits and a safe alternative to smoking tobacco cigarettes because the vapor e-cigarettes produce does not contain the harmful chemicals or carcinogens found in tobacco smoke. Since e-cigs pose no health hazard to nonsmokers, electronic cigarettes are legal for use in many places where smoking is banned. Among e-cigarette brands, V2 Cigs stands out for their high quality, affordable prices, and the number of options V2 Cigs offers for smokers ready to make the switch from tobacco. Overall, after testing V2 Cigs products, we now understand why V2 Cigs is one of the best, cheap electronic cigarettes offering great starter kits, cartridges, flavors, and accessories. The following V2 Cigs review will help you learn more about their starter kits and determine if V2 Cigs is the right e-cigarette for you.

V2 Cigs Starter Kits

V2 Cigs offers five different e-cigarette starter kits at different prices, all sporting the 2-piece electronic cigarette design. V2’s Economy Kit contains one battery, a wall charger, a USB charger, and 10 disposable cartridges, retailing for $59.95. The V2 Standard Kit is about $74.95 and has two batteries, which can be well worth the investment for convenience, especially if you are constantly on the go or a heavy smoker who will never be without nicotine when you crave it. At $159.95, the V2 Cigs Ultimate Kit is one of the most complete electronic cigarette starter kits available. It comes with 3 batteries, 25 cartridges, 3 chargers (wall adapter, USB and car charger), a portable charging case and a carrying case which is everything a smoker needs to make the switch to e-cigarettes.

Notebook and Power Cigs

For users that spend a lot of time at a desk or working on a notebook/laptop, the V2 Cigs Notebook and Power Cig are designed to produce more vapor than any manual battery. These USB electronic cigarettes plug into any USB port and can be used with the wall or car charger. The Notebook Cig is a little smaller than the Power Cig and each features a generous 7.2 foot-long cord. Both the Notebook and Power Cig are battery-free and must be plugged into a power source for use.

Accessories For V2 Cigs

V2 Cigs has a great line of low cost accessories, including a metal carrying case that holds 2 batteries and 2 cartridges for only $7.99. V2 also has a soft carrying case that holds 3 batteries and 4 cartridges and a portable charging case for users on the go. A lanyard priced at $9.99 lets e-smokers carry their cigarette around their neck so e-cigs never get misplaced. Unique to V2 Cigs is their adapter that allows smokers who have batteries from other e-cigarette makers to use V2 cartridges with any other brand’s battery.

Disposable and Refillable Cartridges

Like most other electronic cigarettes, V2 Cigs now offers a disposable cartridge with a built-in atomizer, which is convenient, does not require cleaning, and is part of their slick 2-piece e-cigarette design. A fresh atomizer in each cartridge insures a smooth draw with no clogging and no separate atomizer to wear out, allowing you to maintain performance and maximum nicotine intake from every puff. Refillable cartridges are still available and V2 continues to sell e-juice for those who prefer to refill their cartridges. V2 Cigs’ disposable cartridges are equivalent to a pack of tobacco cigarettes and cost about $2.59 each.

Vapor Production and Flavor

Independent customer reviews have noted that recent changes in the batteries of V2 Cigs have greatly improved the power, vapor production and usage life of the battery to approximately 200 puffs. V2 electronic cigarettes now produce plenty of vapors and the increased vapor production has improved the flavor. Flavors include Red, Cowboy, Congress, Menthol, Coffee, Vanilla, Cherry, Peppermint, Chocolate, Sahara, and Cola. The V2 Red is most similar to traditional full-flavored cigarettes, V2 Congress is equivalent to the Parliament-flavored cigarette, and menthol is exactly your basic traditional menthol tobacco cigarette flavor. For users that like to experiment or are not sure which flavor will be best for them, V2 has a variety cartridge pack that contains 10 cartridges, one in each flavor.

V2 Cigs Batteries

Many e-cigarettes offer different color options in both batteries and cartridges, and V2 has batteries in white, black, stainless steel and metallic blue. In addition to their standard size battery, V2 Cigs has a long battery which is about 4.4 inches (11 cm) long and a new shorter battery which is just slightly longer than a king size tobacco cigarette (10 cm long). Longer batteries have a longer life so users can opt for a battery size that meets their daily needs. V2 Cigs batteries are 4.2 volts and are powerful, very responsive and long-lasting for a smooth, consistent draw of thick vapor.

Different Nicotine Strengths and Cartridges

While electronic cigarettes are not marketed as a smoking cessation device, many smokers have used e-cigarettes to kick their nicotine habit and stop smoking altogether. V2 cartridges are available in four strengths. Full strength contains 18 mg of nicotine, medium has 12 mg, light contains 6 mg and zero has only flavored e-juice with no nicotine. For many smokers, breaking the habit of smoking can be even more difficult than breaking their addiction to nicotine. E-cigarettes allow smokers to slowly cut down on their nicotine use without giving up their habit.

Replacement V2 Cartridges

Each V2 Cigs starter kit comes with 10 cartridges in the user’s choice of flavor and is the equivalent to a carton of tobacco cigarettes. Replacement cartridges are available in 5 packs, 20 packs 40 packs and 80 packs. The price per cartridge depends on the number of cartridges purchased. Smokers that buy 80 cartridges pay about $1.62 per cartridge while those who buy a 5 pack pay about $2.59 each. The 10 cartridge flavor sampler pack is a bargain at under $2.00 per cartridge.

Smoke 4 Free

This is an exclusive offer through V2 Cigs that allows users to earn credit toward V2 products by introducing friends and family members to electronic cigarettes. Each V2 Starter Kit contains Smoke 4 Free cards that give new users a substantial discount on Starter Kits. When a new customer uses a Smoke 4 Free card to buy a starter kit, the user who referred the customer receives a $15.00 credit in their V2 account. This is the same as receiving a 5 pack of cartridges for free!

Customer Service

Consumers reported a high degree of satisfaction with the customer service they received from V2 Cigs. Smokers received prompt courteous responses to email and telephone inquiries and there were no reports of delays in the delivery of orders. The company offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty and 30 Day Money-Back Guarantee on all V2 Cigs Starter Kits, which is one of the best warranties in the industry. Loyal customers are rewarded with special savings programs, discounts and coupons.

V2 Cigs Review

Many smokers who have made the switch to electronic cigarettes report health benefits similar to those associated with smoking cessation. E-cigarettes are cheaper and cleaner than tobacco cigarettes and do not cause odors in the air or bad breath. E-cigs can be used in places where cigarette smoking is banned, making them more convenient than tobacco. According to customer V2 Cigs Reviews, V2 is a leader in the e-cigarette industry and has a high quality product with excellent service and cheap prices to help smokers make the switch to electronic cigarettes, making V2 Cigs one of the best electronic cigarettes you can buy.

Compare Electronic Cigarettes

Although electronic cigarettes have only been around since 2005, their popularity has created a competitive market with dozens of different e-cigarette brands online. Smokers who are switching from tobacco cigarettes and products should compare electronic cigarettes and the different features, starter kits, batteries, designs, nicotine strengths and flavors wanted. At ElectronicCigarettes123.com, we have e-cigarette reviews of all the major brands to help consumers find the best, cheap electronic cigarette for their needs. Starter kits are available for about the same cost as a carton of analog cigarettes and at about $2.00 per cartridge, e-cigarettes are cheaper and healthier than using tobacco. Below, consumers will learn about the different types of e-cigarettes available and the factors you should take into consideration when you compare electronic cigarettes.

Refillable or Disposable Cartridges

Makers of electronic cigarettes offer two types of cartridges. Refillable cartridges are usually cheaper and come with a supply of e-juice that is added to the cartridge periodically. The atomizer in refillable e-cigarettes has to be cleaned regularly to keep it sanitary and in working order. On the other hand, most disposable cartridges have an atomizer in each cartridge and do not need to be cleaned. These disposable nicotine cartridges are called cartomizers, because the atomizer and cartridge are combined into one piece, allowing for a simpler design that maintains the efficiency and high output of puffs per cartridge. When consumers compare electronic cigarettes, they will find that refillable cartridges generally cost a little less, but disposable cartridges are more convenient.

Additionally, each electronic cigarette offers a difference in vapor volume, a primary concern for many smokers. How much vapor you are able to get or inhale in one puff is essential to a satisfactory and realistic smoking experience. Expert smokers experienced with electronic cigarettes recommend starting with a short puff to heat up the atomizer, followed by a long and deep drag for maximum vapor production. Most cartridges are roughly equal to at least one to one and a half packs of cigarettes. One electronic cigarette, Green Smoke’s FlavorMax cartridges, has received great customer reviews for providing more puffs and thick vapor, lasting up to 360 puffs or about a pack and a half from each cartridge.

Overall, we highly recommend disposable cartridges because all the highest quality and best electronic cigarettes use cartomizers, and the extra cost is marginal and worth guaranteeing the cleanliness and high output of each disposable cartridge you buy.

Smokers also have the choice of different nicotine strengths and flavors, ranging from full strength to medium, light, ultra light, or no nicotine. This flexibility and variety in nicotine strengths allows smokers to buy an e-cigarette comparable to the tobacco cigarettes they were smoking before. Furthermore, each electronic cigarette company has developed their own nicotine flavors, such as tobacco, menthol, clove, cherry, java, vanilla, chocolate, almond, apple, coffee, peach, strawberry, and peppermint.

Customer Service, Shipping, and Coupons

If you are a first time electronic cigarette user or are switching brands to try another e-cigarette company, always buy electronic cigarettes that offer a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. Almost all the best electronic cigarettes offer this customer satisfaction guarantee, as well as free shipping and coupons. Additionally, customer service used to be an issue with some e-cigarette brands, but due to stiff competition nowadays, most electronic cigarette companies offer good customer service with a minimum 1-Year Warranty on their products. Read our electronic cigarette reviews to learn more about individual e-cig brands.

Starter Kits

Different e-cigarette brands may offer different features, designs, customizations, and accessories in their starter kits, but most electronic cigarette starter kits come with one or two cigarettes, five disposable cartridges or one refillable cartridge with e-juice, one wall charger and a USB charger, too. Some starter kits include carry cases for the charger and extra cartridges. Most manufacturers offer more than one type of e-cigarette style and several options for starter kits at different price points, allowing you to choose the number of batteries, cartridges, chargers, and carrying cases.

Power Supplies and Chargers

Electronic cigarettes are powered by rechargeable lithium ion batteries in the cylinder of the cigarette. Each e-cigarette offers different types of chargers in their starter kits, including wall charger plug-ins, USB chargers (plugs into a computer) and car chargers. The battery life of different electronic cigarettes also varies, but smokers can learn more about the specifics in each of our electronic cigarette reviews. When smokers compare electronic cigarette starter kits, they should consider how often the cigarettes need to be recharged, how many puffs each battery provides, and the types of power sources (car, computer, outlet) that will be readily available to them during their daily routine. Generally speaking, we highly recommend that smokers on the go buy starter kits with two batteries, or remember to constantly charge their e-cigarette.

Safety of Electronic Cigarettes vs. Tobacco

Tobacco smoke contains over 4000 chemicals, toxins, and poisons, 50 of which are known carcinogens. The burning of tobacco creates harmful hydrocarbons in the air which can be inhaled by non-smokers in the form of secondhand smoke. On the other hand, electronic cigarette vapor contains about 7 safe chemicals and no known carcinogens. Since e-cigs are battery operated and there are no hydrocarbons in e-cigarette vapor because no burning or combustion occurs, an electronic cigarette does not pose any health risk to non-smokers and e-cigs do not cause emphysema, lung cancer, heart disease or other respiratory diseases in smokers. Nicotine users who switch to electronic cigarettes enjoy many of the health benefits associated with smoking cessation.

Advantages of Electronic Cigarettes

Since electronic cigarettes do not emit smoke, e-cigarettes do not have the unpleasant smells or stains associated with burning tobacco. Because electronic cigarettes are not harmful to others, they are legal for use in many public places where tobacco cigarettes are banned. Unlike tobacco cigarettes, electronic cigarettes do not contain tar, so e-cigs will not stain the smoker’s teeth or fingers.

Other electronic cigarette benefits include the fact that a nicotine cartridge refill is typically $2 to $3 and roughly equivalent to about a pack or a pack and a half of tobacco cigarettes. Over the long term, an average smoker can save almost $1,000 per year by switching from tobacco cigarettes to an e-cigarette, not to mention the decrease in life and health insurance costs. When consumers compare electronic cigarettes to tobacco products, e-cigarettes are safer, cleaner, cheaper and far more convenient to use.

Disposable E-Cigarettes

Smokers who want to try electronic cigarettes before they commit to switching from tobacco cigarettes can begin by trying cheap disposable e-cigarettes. Disposable electronic cigarettes are available from the same electronic cigarette brands online and consumers can read about our e-cigarette reviews to determine the best e-cig. The cost of a disposable electronic cigarette is between $8.00 and $12.00 and each disposable is equivalent to between 2 and 3 packs of tobacco cigarettes. Disposable e-cigarettes are also a great way to compare the different electronic cigarette brands, nicotine strengths and flavors before investing in the higher cost of a starter kit. However, most smokers have no problem going forward with an initial purchase of an electronic cigarette starter kit after reading very positive e-cigarette reviews from other regular smokers.

Best Electronic Cigarette

Smokers who are planning to switch to electronic cigarettes can benefit from the experience of other smokers who have tried different brands of e-cigarettes and can offer unbiased comparisons of the performance and features offered by various e-cigs. Reviewers usually compare electronic cigarettes for the amount of vapor produced, the draw of the cigarette, the flavor and the overall satisfaction of the smoking experience.

Consumers who compare electronic cigarettes to tobacco cigarettes will find that using e-cigarettes offers health advantages, lower costs and greater convenience. They can be used in places like airports, restaurants and nightclubs where smoking tobacco is banned. Smokers considering the switch can try cheap disposable e-cigarettes before committing to the cost of a starter kit. Electronic cigarettes are a great alternative for smokers who either cannot quit smoking or do not want to give up their cigarette habit.

Electronic Cigarette Safety

Electronic cigarettes are unquestionably much safer than tobacco cigarettes and offer dozens of health benefits and safety features. Since e-cigarettes do not emit secondhand smoke or carcinogenic pollutants into the air, which are harmful to non-smokers, e-cigs are legal for use in most places where tobacco cigarettes are banned. In addition, an electronic cigarette does not contain the tar, harmful chemical byproducts or toxins found in tobacco smoke which are associated with most of the health risks faced by smokers, such as lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, and emphysema, and using e-cigarettes is healthier than smoking or using tobacco products. Lastly, electronic cigarette safety also prevents fires, ashtrays, or burns because e-cigs are battery powered and non-flammable, avoiding the use of matches or combustion to help you get your nicotine fix.

Government Safety Regulations

Since electronic cigarettes only became available in 2005, there are no independent clinical studies on the long term safety of the e-cigarettes. This prompted the FDA to attempt to regulate e-cigarettes as a drug delivery system, but the courts determined that e-cigs were not a drug delivery system and therefore are not subject to FDA approval. Electronic cigarettes are classified and seen in the same light as tobacco products, and the sale of e-cigarettes may be subject to federal tobacco laws. The use of electronic cigarettes is not regulated in most U.S. jurisdictions at this time, incentivizing smokers to make the switch to e-cigarettes to avoid smoking ban laws in public areas, restaurants, and bars. Being able to circumvent tobacco cigarette bans is one of the best benefits of electronic cigarettes, allowing smokers to indulge their nicotine craving anytime and anywhere without problems or legal issues.

Chemicals in Cigarettes vs. Ingredients in Electronic Cigarettes

Tar is probably the most toxic chemical cocktail in cigarette smoke and is composed of hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide are byproducts of combustion and are created when tobacco is burned. Other toxins in cigarette smoke include cyanide, arsenic, formaldehyde, benzene, acetone, methanol, acetylene, cadmium, nickel, and polonium 210. About 50 of the over 4,000 chemicals found in cigarette smoke are known carcinogens and hundreds more are toxins. Some of the components in tobacco smoke have not yet been identified or classified.

On the other hand, electronic cigarettes work by creating a vapor from a liquid solution that contains propylene glycol or glycerin, food additives (flavoring), and a small amount of nicotine, depending on the nicotine strength a smoker chooses. Propylene glycol has been used in asthma inhalers for over 50 years and has been proven safe in long term clinical studies. The formulas for e-liquid, the solution in cartridges or cartomizers that contain the nicotine for e-cigarettes, may vary between manufacturers and smokers making the switch are advised to check the ingredients in different brands. Claims that e-cigarette vapors contain carcinogens are not supported by available scientific data – to date, no carcinogens or toxins are found in electronic cigarettes, offering huge health benefits over traditional tobacco cigarettes.

Are Electronic Cigarettes Addictive?

The addictive and primary substance in tobacco is nicotine, and electronic cigarettes do contain nicotine. Although the amount of nicotine in electronic cigarettes is not regulated by law, most makers offer disposable cartridges with different nicotine levels so smokers can choose a nicotine level and strength that is similar to the level in their preferred tobacco cigarettes. Cartridges or cartomizers, a 2 in 1 atomizer and cartridge patented by certain e-cig brands, can come in full strength, medium, light, and ultra light nicotine strength levels, offering flexibility and a variety of choices for smokers.

In addition to differing nicotine levels, a number of e-cigarette manufacturers are offering nicotine free cartridges for smokers who have broken their nicotine additions by gradually decreasing their nicotine intake, but not their smoking habits. By continuing the act of smoking but slowly lessening their cartridge’s nicotine strengths, many electronic cigarette customer reviews claim that smokers are able to gradually become nicotine free.

Health Risks – Are E-Cigarettes Safe?

Nicotine is a stimulant which is toxic in large dosages. Prolonged abuse of nicotine may lead to coronary artery disease, hypertension, and heart failure. Electronic cigarettes have considerably fewer health risks than tobacco cigarettes and there are no known side effects of electronic cigarettes. The dosage of nicotine delivered by electronic cigarettes is about the same amount contained in other smoking alternatives like nicotine gums, patches, and lozenges; and these products are FDA approved for smoking cessation.

Can E-Cigarettes Help Smokers Quit?

Electronic cigarettes are not marketed as a smoking cessation device to help smokers quit their habit, but many smokers claim, in their electronic cigarette reviews, to have used e-cigarettes to end their dependence on traditional tobacco cigarettes and even nicotine. Smoking is a habit as well as an addiction and electronic cigarettes allow smokers to continue their smoking behavior while slowly and gradually eliminating their nicotine addiction, if the smoker chooses to do so. Since the habit of reaching for a cigarette can be as difficult to overcome as the dependence on nicotine, some smokers have found electronic cigarettes to be the best method for ending their nicotine use by slowly decreasing the strength of the nicotine in the cartridge they buy.

Electronic Cigarette Safety

There may be some health risks associated with the abuse of nicotine, but electronic cigarettes are undeniably much safer than tobacco cigarettes and products. Most health professionals agree that smokers who switch to electronic cigarettes greatly reduce their risk of smoking-related cancers, cardiovascular disease, emphysema, and other serious health problems or chronic diseases associated with tobacco use. Many smokers who use electronic cigarettes have reported improved breathing, higher energy levels, and other health benefits that are normally experienced by those who have quit smoking. Overall, electronic cigarette safety has been a top priority for e-cigarette brands, and manufacturers will continue to offer high quality, safe electronic cigarettes. To find the best electronic cigarette for you, read our e-cigarette reviews to learn about the different brands, starter kits, nicotine levels and flavors, designs, and cheap prices.

Tobacco Cigarette vs. Electronic Cigarette

Many adults enjoy the legal pleasure of cigarettes. However, where and when cigarettes can be enjoyed is becoming increasingly limited. Also health concerns for yourself and for others around you have arisen, with the side effects of lingering odor, bad breath and stained teeth – not to mention the rising monetary costs and environmental effects of tobacco cigarettes. Now there is an attractive alternative that is rising in popularity as smokers become aware of the benefits of electronic cigarettes.

E-Cigarettes Satisfy Nicotine Cravings

Electronic cigarettes really simulate the smoking experience, just like smoking a real cigarette! You really hold the e-cigarette and inhale. We have many e-cigarette reviews of smokers with a 1 to 2 pack a day habit switching to electronic cigarettes permanently. One of the revolutionary benefits of e-cigarettes is that they provide the nicotine satisfaction that smokers desire without creating any smoke, only water vapor. Smoking less may become an option because there is no waste. A benefit of e-cigs is that you can take a few drags and there is no cigarette to waste, just have exactly as much as you want. Plus another benefit of electronic cigarettes is that they are fully customizable as to taste, strength and flavor.

Electronic Cigarettes Do Not Contain Tobacco or Toxins

Containing no tobacco whatsoever is a health benefit of electronic cigarettes, so there is no real smoke, no tar, nor any of the other 4,000 toxic chemicals associated with tobacco smoke and cancer. Electronic cigarettes create a vaporized water/nicotine solution that tastes, feels and looks like the real deal! The Royal College of Physicians reports that nicotine alone has not been proven to cause any long term negative health effects. Electronic cigarettes benefit you and pose no health risks or side effects because e-cigarettes contain no tobacco and can be used anytime and most anywhere. Because e-cigs are non-flammable and are battery powered, smokers do not need to worry about burns, ashtrays, stained teeth and any lingering odor in your car, home or clothes!

Electronic Cigarettes Are Cheap

An important benefit to smokers is that electronic cigarettes are cheap, and will save you money compared to traditional tobacco cigarettes. With tobacco prices and taxes sky-rocketing, it is much cheaper to buy a nicotine refill or cartridge for reusable electronic cigarettes than buying traditional tobacco cigarettes at $5 to $10 per pack. An additional pleasant benefit is that you are no longer a tobacco user and will qualify for better rates on health insurance! An electronic cigarette starter kit is around $60-$120 and a package of five cartridges, which is equivalent to 5 to 8 packs of tobacco cigarettes, is $10-$15. One cartridge is roughly the equivalent of 1-1.5 packs of traditional tobacco cigarettes, and costs about $2 to $3 per cartridge, allowing cheap electronic cigarettes to save the average smoker almost $1,000/year.

E-Cigs Are Green, Environmentally Friendly

A benefit of electronic cigarettes is that they have less impact on the environment.

No traditional cigarette butts to throw away.
No flame to put out – electronic cigarettes are completely non-flammable, so no chance of home or forest fires.
No smoke or smoke smell, so there is no secondhand smoke or pollutants being released into the air.
No chemicals, pollutants or toxins are released when traditional tobacco smoke is inhaled or exhaled, nor is second-hand smoke shared with those who choose not to smoke.

Electronic Cigarette Health Risks

Electronic cigarettes have not been designed or marketed as smoking cessation devices, per FDA regulations. E-cigarettes have been designed to provide a healthier alternative to smoking tobacco cigarettes by providing a nicotine delivery system that simulates the act of smoking and safely satisfies a smoker’s nicotine craving, while offering health benefits and cost savings to the consumer. Currently, there are no published health risks or side effects of electronic cigarettes.

Electronic Cigarette Benefits

Most smokers are aware of the adverse health effects caused by traditional tobacco cigarettes, cigars and other tobacco products. However, a few years ago, a new product called an electronic cigarette, also known as an e-cigarette or e-cig, was introduced to the market as an alternative to smoking, offering numerous health benefits and advantages. Most smokers know how difficult it is to stop smoking, switch cigarette brands or even flavors, and simply can not overcome that urge to smoke. Fortunately, electronic cigarettes will continue to provide the nicotine smokers desperately crave, but without the toxins, tar, chemicals, bad odor, or high costs associated with tobacco cigarettes. Before you give up, we suggest you read the research about the many electronic cigarette benefits for the mind, body and soul.

Cheap Electronic Cigarettes – Save Money

There is no doubt that an electronic cigarette is cheaper than a traditional cigarette, and this is one of the best electronic cigarette benefits. For example, the average smoker in California spends about $50 or more on a single carton of cigarettes, while smokers in New York spend approximately $100 per carton. The cost of cigarettes really depends on the country and state in which you live, though we can all agree that the prices are relatively comparable and not cheap. This carton of cigarettes lasts the average smoker about a week and a half to two weeks. E-cigarettes, on the other hand, are about $50 to $100 for the initial purchase of a starter kit. This e-cig starter kit includes the e-cigarette, 1 wall charger and 1 USB charger, and 5 nicotine cartridges, which are each equivalent to a pack or pack and a half of regular cigarettes. Most refill cartridges cost about $2 and are equivalent to one or two packs of cigarettes depending on the e-cig brand, so it is easy to see how the savings can add up very quickly. After an initial investment in the starter kit, the average smoker can save more than $1,000/year smoking electronic cigarettes.

Taste Great – Different Nicotine Flavors and Strengths

Many smokers claim to love the taste of a traditional tobacco cigarette, but this is rarely true. Cigarettes are not designed to taste good; they are designed to fulfill the smoker’s craving with regular doses of nicotine. As one of the leading electronic cigarette benefits, e-cigarettes can satisfy a smoker’s need for nicotine while providing a variety of strengths and nicotine flavors so smokers can have options and change flavors whenever they want to try something new. Traditional regular and menthol tobacco flavors are available, but more exotic flavors such as clove, vanilla, coffee, chocolate, cherry, java, Irish cream, whiskey, rum, cola, peach, apple and even bubble gum make electronic cigarettes more fun and versatile than tobacco cigarettes.

E-cigarettes also offer the option for smokers to choose the strength of the nicotine in their cartridges, ranging from full, medium, light, ultra light, and no nicotine. The differences in nicotine strengths allow smokers to gradually reduce their nicotine intake while maintaining the habit of smoking, or continue their smoking experience at current nicotine levels. Electronic cigarettes are flexible and let you do whatever you are comfortable with.

Electronic Cigarette Health Benefits

Another electronic cigarette benefit is that e-cigarettes are designed to fulfill the brain’s cravings for nicotine in a much healthier way. E-cigarettes do not contain any tar, harmful chemicals or carcinogens, and e-cigs come in a variety of nicotine strength levels. Since electronic cigarettes are not actually lit, there is no smoke to damage the lungs, heart or other organs. The “smoke” that is seen coming from the mouths of e-cigarette smokers is nothing more than flavored water vapor. This is the healthiest of electronic cigarette benefits, and one of the reasons why many people are choosing to use e-cigs instead of traditional tobacco cigarettes.

No Tobacco Smoke Odor

Of all the benefits of electronic cigarettes, odor and smell are the ones that are likely the most pleasing to others. E-cigarettes release nothing into the environment other than simple water vapor, so there is no lingering tobacco odor or second-hand smoke that follows the smoker around. This is often very pleasing to friends, family members and co-workers. As a matter of fact, many electronic cigarette users report that after a few weeks of using e-cigs, they regain their full senses of taste and smell. It is difficult to understand how much tobacco smoke can dull these senses until there is no longer any tobacco smell or taste.

Anytime, Anywhere Use

With the increasing bans on public smoking, many smokers find it difficult to smoke anywhere away from home. Smoking tobacco cigarettes in a car with children is a dangerous practice that puts the children’s health at risk. E-cigarettes do away with harmful secondhand smoke and are virtually odor-free. This means that people who were unable to fulfill their nicotine cravings in public places, restaurants or bars are able to take a few hits from an electronic cigarette without breaking any laws or infuriating other patrons. Smokers can even feel free to use e-cigarettes in the car with children, since there are no harmful chemicals or vapors from secondhand smoke being released into the environment.

Unique Expression of Personality

Perhaps one of the least-discussed electronic cigarette benefits is the ability for smokers to choose e-cigarettes that fit their personalities. E-cigs are available in a wide range of designs, colors and finishes, ranging from the standard white cigarette with a brown filter to favorite sports teams, a rainbow of colors, and even engraved electronic cigarettes to give as gifts. Women can choose pink or purple metallic e-cigarettes, while men often choose black, blue or even chrome finishes. These electronic cigarette benefits appeal to any smoker’s sense of style and originality, but not all colors and types are available in all brands. Individual smokers will need to do their research, but should never choose an electronic cigarette based on appearances alone.

Understanding the health benefits of electronic cigarettes is the first step in making a potentially life-saving decision to switch to e-cigarettes.

Are Electronic Cigarettes Safe?

Are electronic cigarettes safe? What are the health benefits of an electronic cigarette? There is so much focus on the unhealthy practice of smoking traditional tobacco cigarettes nowadays that many people are interested in quitting smoking, greatly reducing the amount they smoke each day, or switching to an alternative such as electronic cigarettes to take advantage of the health benefits e-cigs offer. There are many contributing factors that allow electronic cigarettes to be considered safer and more beneficial than their tobacco cigarette counterparts, including no toxins, chemicals or carcinogenic ingredients, reduced nicotine addiction, no second hand smoke, cheaper health insurance, and less out of pocket expenses because e-cigarettes are cheap.

Improved Lung Health

When comparing all of the health aspects that make electronic cigarettes safe, improved lung health is of the utmost priority. There is no doubt that smoking traditional tobacco cigarettes damages the lungs, as smokers are literally taking hot smoke inundated with harmful chemicals, tar, and carcinogens into their lungs each and every time they take a puff, increasing the chances of lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic diseases.

On the other hand, electronic cigarettes provide a much safer smoking experience by only exposing smokers to a vaporized nicotine solution, eliminating the intake of carcinogens and other harsh chemicals. The nicotine, the primary component of tobacco and cigarettes, allows the smoker to feel satisfied after each puff, and the emitted water vapor is much cleaner and does leave a lingering odor, bad breath, or second hand smoke. This makes electronic cigarettes safe and a more favorable alternative to smoking conventional cigarettes – it’s just a matter of finding the best electronic cigarette, nicotine flavors and strengths for you.

Better Heart Health

Another important factor that makes electronic cigarettes safer is the decreased quantity of carbon monoxide that the smoker inhales, which positively impacts your heart and can improve your health with electronic cigarettes. Carbon monoxide is a molecule that binds to the hemoglobin in blood with a greater affinity than oxygen, reducing the oxygen-carrying capacity of your blood. Without proper oxygen levels carried in the bloodstream, your heart is forced to work much harder to pump the same amount of oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. This often results in several types of heart disease, but e-cigarettes can help mitigate these harmful consequences and offer health benefits. Since there is no actual combustion occurring with e-cigs, e-cigarettes do not contain any carbon monoxide, thus retaining the oxygen-carrying capacity of your blood. One of the features that make electronic cigarettes safe is the lack of actual smoke, fire, or need for ashtrays, and over time, e-cigarettes may even help smokers repair damage that has already been incurred.

No Secondhand Smoke

Not only do tobacco cigarette smokers harm their own health, but they also jeopardize the health of individuals who inhale the secondhand cigarette smoke in the surrounding environment. In an effort to make electronic cigarettes safer to bystanders, e-cig manufacturers and brands conduct studies and tests to ensure that none of the emitted water vapor will adversely affect any individuals in close proximity to the smoker. Studies have shown that the secondhand “smoke” that comes from e-cigarettes is similar to everyday water vapor, as it does not contain any harmful chemicals or byproducts. This benefit to electronic cigarettes is of great concern to manufacturers, and thus these tests are completed frequently to ensure purity and to maintain electronic cigarette safety.

Additionally, since electronic cigarettes emit water vapor, the odor of cigarette smoke will no longer be a concern. The water vapor, though it appears similar to a cloud of smoke, does not have a smell nor does it linger, meaning your clothes, body, or home won’t expose any traces of smoke, nor will secondhand smoke affect your children or loved ones.

Decreases in Lung Cancer Risks

Conventional tobacco cigarette smokers face an incredibly high occurrence of lung cancer, primarily as a result of the 4,000 plus chemicals, poisons and large number of carcinogens found in tobacco smoke. It is often reported that cigarette smoke is the number one cause of lung cancer anywhere in the world. However, the simple water vapor makes electronic cigarettes a safer alternative, as there are no known carcinogens in the vapor extracted from e-cigarettes. This water vapor byproduct is the reason the industry calls smoking an electronic cigarette “vaping”. Although nicotine is considered a “drug” because it is addictive and binds to receptors in the brain, it is not a carcinogen and cannot singly cause cancer, making electronic cigarettes safe and a great alternative to smoking regular tobacco cigarettes.

The Impacts of Nicotine

Nicotine is the addictive substance found in tobacco, and traditional cigarettes deliver nicotine into the body amidst a shroud of hot smoke and toxic chemicals. The ability to deliver pure nicotine into the body offers electronic cigarettes health benefits over tobacco cigarettes. Although e-cigarettes deliver nicotine into the bloodstream, the process is accomplished without the harmful side effects of tar, toxic chemical compounds, and carcinogens. In essence, e-cigarette users are able to satisfy their cravings for nicotine without further exposing their bodies to harsh chemicals that can lead to disease or illness. This makes electronic cigarettes a more promising and safe substitute for anyone with a nicotine addiction. Furthermore, consumers actually claim that their addiction to nicotine is reduced by e-cigarettes, noting that their urges to smoke are not as strong and don’t occur as often.

Reducing Addiction

Just like standard tobacco cigarettes, e-cigs are available in a variety of types based on consumer preference, from different appearance styles to assorted brands. Each individual has the option to purchase a cartridge with full flavor, medium, light, ultra-light, or no nicotine strengths, which can ultimately allow the smoker to gradually dose down the amount of nicotine. This makes electronic cigarettes safer in comparison to standard tobacco cigarettes, since smokers have the opportunity to progressively reduce their intake quantity of nicotine, eventually staying healthy and smoke-free if they choose to do so. Even though many may argue that similar nicotine delivery can be accomplished with gums or patches, no other option simulates the act of smoking like an e-cig, preventing nicotine withdrawal symptoms and making the transition and switch to e-cigarettes easier and smoother on the smoker. Just to be clear, electronic cigarettes are not marketed as a smoking cessation device, but the health benefits listed above make electronic cigarettes safe, effective, and a great alternative to the standard methods of satisfying and potentially reducing nicotine addiction.

Electronic Cigarette Safety

All of these benefits make electronic cigarettes safe and desirable, and are even sometimes recommended by physicians. E-cigarettes are ultimately better for the body and mind, and also provide smokers a great way to obtain their nicotine fix without all of the harmful side effects of tobacco, including no carcinogens or harmful chemicals, no tobacco and secondhand smoke, and less detrimental health issues. Even better, consumers can find the best, cheap electronic cigarettes that will end up costing them about $2 to $3 per cartridge, the equivalent of a pack of cigarettes, helping them save money while enjoying the health benefits of e-cigarettes. Overall, “are electronic cigarettes safe?” Given all the current medical and trial information available, so far, the answer is yes.
