When we first started trying V2Cigs Ultimate E Cig Starter Kit, we were impressed. After using it for a while, we were amazed. This is one of the few companies that offers real choices for all smokers. I had smoked over a pack a day before switching to electronic cigarettes and the Ultimate Kit made sure I had no desire to leave this smoking alternative. It came with three batteries that are sure to get the heaviest smokers through a day and even had a charging case as well so I could actually make it a few days before ever needing to charge a battery. One of the biggest problems in switching to e cigs is the need to be constantly charging batteries and V2Cigs eliminates that problem. To take it a step further, the Power-Cig will give you benefits not advertised anywhere. We took our car charger and plugged the V2 Cig Power-Cig into it and we never had to worry about have a charged battery in the car again. It is perfect for road trips or even short trips. If you are anything like us, every time you get into a car you feel the need for a cigarette (even on a short drive). The V2 Cig Power-Cig satisfies your craving and will even keep that new car smell smokers have missed for a long time.

V2 Car Charger

The next key part that makes V2 Cigs a great option for you is the fact that the throat hit is great and the flavors are better. Their cartridges contain an atomizer in each one so there is never any maintenance for this e cigarette. The atomizer is powerful enough to deliver a great throat hit that is consistant and will have you leaving your cigarettes in the trash. The V2 Cigs cartridges come in eight different flavors that are sure to give you something you like. The most popular is Congress and has been taking over Marlboro smokers by storm. I have to admit, my favorite is the chocolate because it is like eating a desert with your cigarette. The full list of flavors is: Cowboy, Congress, Menthol, Coffee, Cherry, Vanilla, Peppermint, and Chocolate.

V2 Cigs Flavors
We have been using the V2 e-Cigarettes for a few weeks now and have loved every minute of it. We have used over 30 different kinds of e cigs and V2 is at the top of the list for us when it comes to two piece designs.

Revolver Introduces the Infinity Ion Electronic Cigarette

visit smoke51 electronic cigarettes

Head over to Revolver and check out their brand new electronic cigarette model – the Infinity Ion. This new e cig features a larger cartridge, which means it will last longer before you need to refill/replace it. At the same time, more of the cartridge is contained inside of the atomizer body, so there is less visible plastic and more design. It is a beautiful electronic cigarette and a great addition to their already amazing product line.

Included in the starter kit is the smartest portable charger case to hit the market, two black batteries with blue LED light, one atomizer, five tobacco flavored cartridges and one USB/wall charger.

We continue to be thoroughly impressed with Revolver and their dedication to bringing the best products available to the market.

Where Can I Vape? Part 2

electronic cigarette

Today was a challenging day for me, everything started off wrong.  In the past, I would have gone for a cigarette, but thank God for Vaping.  I was able to make it through the day using my e-rette electronic cigarette, njoy electronic cigarette, and premium e cigarette.  I usually carry multiple ones loaded with different flavors depending on what I am in the mood for.

New Locations I Vaped at:

Casa Del Sol: A Mexican Restaurant

Today I had a business meeting during lunch and we went to a Mexican Restaurant names Casa Del Sol.  After eating the oversized portions, I took out my electronic cigarette.  They initially came over and said I could not use it.  Once I explained what it was, how it worked, and that it was water vapor they let me continue to use it.  This was the most enjoyable vape of the day.

Vaping at Casa Del Sol result: Negative at first, but it all smoothed over and I continued to vape.

Target: Storefront

I had to swing by Target after work and pick up my wife.  I went in and while we were walking around, I took out my electronic cigarette and began to use it.  There was no feedback at all and only a couple of people looking at me oddly.  I half expected the security to find me from watching on the cameras, but nothing happened.

Vaping at Target Result: A great success, the local store seemed to be very vapor friendly.

Stay tuned for more places I vape in future editions as we work to expose the statement that you can the electronic cigarette anywhere.

Where Can I Vape? Part 1

electronic cigarette

Today I am starting a new series called Where Can I Vape? The idea is simple, I will provide places I have or tried to vape along with the results and reactions of others.

This morning I started by vaping in my house. This may not seem significant to some, but if you are married, you will understand. My wife hates smoking in the house because everything begins to smell like cigarettes, the walls change color over time, and it is just generally bad to sit in smoke all day and re-breath it in. The solution was simple, use an electronic cigarette. Water vapor will not produce any of the negative effects, I don’t miss any of the TV I am watching, and I am not getting bitten by the 1 million plus mosquitoes waiting for me as soon as I step out the door.
Vaping at home Result: A Success – Happy Wife = Happy Husband

Next I headed to work at an office building on a smoke free campus. Quite clearly, smoking is not wanted in Madison, WI. I began to use my electronic cigarette at my desk. There are several people in the cubes around me, not one noticed. If I lit a cigarette… all hell would break loose. I no longer ran around the office trying to find a way or an excuse to get outside to smoke a cigarette, my nicotine craving was satisfied.
Vaping at work Result: A Success – Less time leaving to go far away to smoke = A more productive me and happy stock holders (even though they may not know the direct impact I was providing).

On the way home I needed gas. I stopped at a local gas station and went inside. I saw overpriced low quality e cigs inside, shook my head and walked out to the pump. I threw the nozzle in and began to vape. Looking around I saw people starting to stare at me in disbelief thinking I was smoking. I decided to switch to NJoy NPRO DUO as it is black and people realized it was not a cigarette at all. I was not kicked out nor did the police show up.
Vaping at the gas station result: A Success – Even though I came close to causing problems, it all worked out.

As I continue to try new places, I will update them on our site. Make sure to follow me through this real life experience in seeing if I can truly vape anywhere as advertised…

E Cigarette Savings in Retail vs. Online

electronic cigarette

Recently we posted an article about selling electronic cigarettes in retail situations.  It is becoming more and more prevalent for gas stations to carry e cigarettes.  Most gas station chains are carrying disposable electronic cigarettes that have raised concerns with Electronic Cigarette Nation.  Many of the disposable e cigs offer little to no savings.  In fact, most are actually costing users more money than they would have spent.  Consumers are still benefiting from not receiving all 4000 chemicals in regular cigarettes, however if you are a heavy smoker like me, it has always been cost that drives your desire to quit rather than health.  We have seen disposables cost as much as $25 and are only the equivalent of 1 pack of cigarettes or less.

We recommend that someone who is going to spend $25 just purchase a low priced started kit from Totally Wicked, Premium, or somewhere else online (You can find out more by checking out our reviews).  Even in the worst areas, a pack of cigarettes costs around $12.00 which represents a $13 loss for the consumer.  While disposables are a great way to find out if electronic cigarettes are for you, we recommend you find a low cost alternative online.  Premium has a disposable electronic cigarette for around $14.

Starter Kits for electronic cigarettes are being sold in gas stations and other retail locations as well.  While these will save the users money due to their rechargeable and refillable nature, consumers can save even more money by making their purchase online.  Online retailers are the source for all the electronic cigarettes, so when they sell into retail locations, you are not only paying for that company to make a profit, but the gas stations must remain profitable as well.  You can remove a middleman from your purchase quite simply and even find coupons.  Totally Wicked E Liquid offers our readers 7.5% off with coupon code OUTPOST and e-rette offers our readers 5% off with coupon code ECN.  There are other coupons available within our reviews, so make sure to check those out today.

Consumers are offered only one option of e cigs at most retail locations.  They have chosen a one-size-fits-all approach to capture market share.  Sites such as Electronic Cigarette Nation present many more options and help to ensure your electronic cigarette experience is great.  So what makes Electronic Cigarette Nation different?  We personally review products, guide users, provide assistance, and offer many site resources.

The Need for Child-Proof E-Liquid Bottles

electronic cigarette

We have seen a lot of discussion lately about the dangers of the e-liquid used to re-fill electronic cigarette cartridges, more specifically, child safety. Look at, for example, this insight made in a popular online e cig website:

“When I started receiving eliquid, I sat down with the family and warned them of the dangers. I would suggest anyone with kids lock this stuff up. As horrible as it would be for a kid to get sick, it would prompt action to ban this stuff.”

The fact is that this is a legitimate concern. While other concerns raised about nicotine liquid are often exaggerated, child safety is very important. The concentrations of nicotine in just a small bottle of nicotine liquid is more than enough to seriously injure or even kill a child. Additionally some e-liquid smells good and children might be drawn to taste it. Luckily the juice tastes terrible in a liquid state and a child would probably spit it out quickly, but it could be too late. Given the sometimes negative commentary around e cigs, one accident could permanently damage the industry.

On the other hand, most homes have many other toxic materials. To call out electronic cigarette liquid as dangerous enough to ban it would be unfair when other substances such as detergents, rubbing alcohol and toothpaste can be harmful to kids. However, e cigs are new and controversial, so the stakes are high.

We need to do everything possible to not let children be hurt. To keep children safe and the e cig industry in good standing, we must urge sellers of e-liquid to only offer containers with child proof caps. The companies that do sell child proof nicotine liquid bottles usually only have safety caps on the bottles that they ship. The actual dropper tops that replace the original cap once opened are almost never child proof. We do not feel that the government should regulate electronic cigarettes or pre-filled cartridges, but if the manufacturers fail to take it upon themselves to make nicotine liquid refill bottles child proof, government regulation may be the only option.

Until suppliers make this a standard please keep your e-liquid out of the reach of children. If there is a chance that kids will come into contact with your e-liquid keep it secured out of their reach. E-liquid should be maintained the same as any other poisonous substances in your home.

The electronic cigarette is undoubtedly a great product. Everyone involved in building this industry, whether by supporting or selling should do their part in keeping it going as smoothly as possible and avoid any harm.

A few electronic cigarette makers are taking the initiative by selling e-liquid refill containers with child proof caps. If you’d like to visit some of these companies visit:

A Look Into E Cigarette Claims

electronic cigarette

Electronic Cigarettes have come under scrutiny lately.  Electronic Cigarette Nation is out to demystify the rumors and false statements made regarding e cigarettes and electronic cigars.  At the beginning on the year, a researcher names Thomas Eissenberg released a study that showed the electronic cigarettes he tried delivered no nicotine at all.  The study was done in 2008 and the brands were not from established, well respected companies.  He was quoted as saying the following:

“Consumers have a right to expect that products marketed to deliver a drug will work safely and as promised. Our findings demonstrate that the ‘electronic cigarettes’ that we tested do not deliver the drug they are supposed to deliver. It’s not just that they delivered less nicotine than a cigarette. Rather, they delivered no measurable nicotine at all. In terms of nicotine delivery, these products were as effective as puffing from an unlit cigarette,” said principal investigator Thomas Eissenberg, Ph.D., professor in the VCU Department of Psychology.

While this news came as shocking and devastating to the electronic cigarette industry and it’s followers, few accepted this notion and looked into the matter further.  It turns out that the electronic cigarettes sampled in the study were low end, low quality products.  Consumers from around the web flooded his email box with legitimate brands that he should try.  Few smokers could believe that they easily made the permanent transition to electronic cigarettes without getting any nicotine.  He tried the KR808D model (available from Premium, Green Smoke, E-Rette, etc.) and saw results that were completly out of touch with his initial study in finding that he did receive a substancial amount of nicotine without his heart level rising.

I would also like to report some results from some personal experimentation. At the suggestion of some of you, I purchased a KR808D-1 with various strength cartridges (Cowboy flavor). I used it last night (18 mg cartomizer) and tested my urine with Nicalert strips this morning. Result? 5/6. Clearly, this result is consistent with recent nicotine exposure. The confusing thing is this: I used the device while hooked up to a heart rate monitor which an observer was watching and I was not. My heart rate showed negligible changes during my many puffs on the device (it was one with a manual switch, which I was pressing; I was using the USB pass through; yes I got vapor, and yes I inhaled – quite the throat hit, I can assure you). Obviously I am not going to write a paper about this single experience, and there is much to be learned, but I certainly agree with the many of you who suggested that these devices may very well behave differently than the ones that I tested.

Electronic Cigarette Nation is a strong supporter of regulating the manufacturers to ensure users are given a strong quality product.  It also proves that credible electronic cigarette review sites are essential to ensure consumers have a quality product that lives up to their expectations.  It is our mission to establish the most comprehensive review site to ensure that consumers never make a bad purchase.
