South Beach Smoke Reviews are all over the Internet and South Beach Smoke does a great job of promoting their e cigarettes brand. Their website is very clean and user friendly. The packaging is exciting. They offer great rebate gifts and membership offers. So we wanted to see if the actual electronic cigarettes and cartomizers truly make South Beach Smoke Cigarettes the Top Rated E-Cigarettes according to the hype. We were lucky enough to test out the South Beach e-cig Deluxe starter kits.

The kit comes with:

• 1 E-Cigarette Lithium Ion Battery
• 1 E-Cigarette Extra-Capacity (Long) Lithium Ion Battery
• 1 Portable Wall Charger
• 5 Large Nicotine Cartridges/Atomizers – Equals 7-8 Packs of Cigarettes (Variety Pack – Cherry, Chocolate, Vanilla, Menthol & Tobacco)
• 1 $100 Gas Rebate Certificate
• 1 South Beach Smoke Membership Card
• 1 Owners Manual

I like the presentation of the Deluxe kit. The packaging is crisp and bright and everything fits together nicely. The “membership card” is a neat idea that several other electronic cigarette brands are beginning to include in their kits. The card doesn’t get you any perks, but it does explain exactly what an electronic cigarette is. It is meant to be handed to bouncers, law enforcement, or any other person that would potentially give you trouble for vaping in their establishment.

One of the main benefits of electronic cigarettes is that you can legally use them almost anywhere. However, I have had one experience where I was asked to stop vaping at a theater, and maybe this card would have helped my case.

I tested the two batteries – one long and one short. The short battery looks more like a traditional cigarette, while the long battery lasts surprisingly longer before needing to be recharged. Also included in the kit are a 5-pack of various flavored cartomizers and a short wall charger. Each cartomizer contains a fresh atomizer and is color-coded to indicate the flavor. Also printed on each cartomizer is a number specifying the nicotine strength.

It took me no time to get used to the draw on the Deluxe e-cig. There are four holes between the battery and cartomizer to allow air to be pulled into the cartomizer, which activates the battery. Typically, two-piece models have smaller holes or none at all. When I tried to take the light, slow drags that I’m used to with these types of electronic cigarettes, I wasn’t having much luck. After taking a harder and quicker drag, I got a pretty decent amount of vapor and a good throat hit. An advantage of having larger holes is that the increased airflow keeps the atomizer much cooler than normal. This means that the flavor doesn’t change the more you use it. Below is a rundown of each cartridge flavor:

• Tobacco – Highest vapor volume. Good flavor. Good throat-hit. My favorite.
• Menthol – Slightly less vapor production than tobacco. More minty that menthol. Great throat hit.
• Chocolate – Good vapor production. Great taste. Decent throat hit.
• Cherry – Good vapor production. Average cherry taste. Solid throat hit.
• Vanilla – Good vapor production. Very subtle taste. Easy throat hit.

South Beach Cigarettes stated that the cartridge life of the Deluxe cartomizers equals 1.5 – 2 packs of traditional cigarettes. Although it is difficult to determine if this is exactly the case, the Electronic Cigarette Nation ratings and many consumer reports show that it is a good estimate after completely draining a few cartridges.

If you sign up for their Home Delivery Program (auto-ship), the costs come down by 30%. With the Home Delivery Program, SBS automatically sends you 15 cartridges / cartomizers every 30 days. We really like auto-ship memberships because you don’t have to worry about forgetting to order new cartomizers and running out. One thing to point out again is that the cartomizers are combine the e cigarette cartridges with the atomizer to make a single use, sanitary cartomizer.

When you add in the excellent customer service and fast shipping that South Beach Smoke provides, it’s easy to see that they indeed live up to the hype of the consumer reports and ratings we have seen online. The Deluxe electronic cigarette is a very sturdy, long-lasting, consistent model and would be a perfect accessory for clubbing out in Miami. Also we are obliged to mention that you will receive a FREE $100 gas rebate with no strings attached on the purchase of each starter kit! Oh yeah, we got you an extra 20% off with the coupon below, which is more than any other sites are offering. This South Beach Smoke Coupon is good on everything but the $29.99 kit already at rock bottom price.

What kept me from ordering the Green Smoke was the high price tag. I figured that I could get basically the same kit elsewhere for much cheaper. After all, it looks the same as most other starter kits out there. I got the Green Smoke Basic Starter Kit which comes with:

• 1 Short battery with green tip – lights red
• 1 Long battery with green tip – lights red
• 1 USB home charger kit  (includes USB adapter and wall adapter)
• 5 Nicotine cartridges  (Tobacco M Red Label 8mg)
• 1 Green Smoke electric cigarette manual

Boy was I wrong. The Green Smoke electronic cigarette creates unbelievable amounts of vapor – I haven’t gotten this much vapor out of any other two-piece mini e-cig. Even after a short drag, it seems like the vapor just keeps pouring out of your mouth. The taste of the tobacco-flavored cartomizers is also very unique and enjoyable.

Unfortunately you can only choose one flavor and nicotine strength with your starter kit. I chose the 8mg tobacco flavor and the throat hit isn’t strong enough for me. Green Smoke does sell other flavors and nicotine strengths. You can get Green Smoke cartomizers in the following flavors:

• Tobacco
• Tobacco M
• Vanilla
• Menthol
• Chocolate
• Coffee
• Apple
• Strawberry

While Green Smoke’s products are excellent, their customer service can lack at times. I had a few questions about the ordering process and the representative’s responses seemed short and impersonal. In general, I get a very corporate feeling from Green Smoke and wonder if they are getting to big for their britches.

Regardless, the Green Smoke electronic cigarette is an excellent model and I am very pleased with it. If you value vapor production highly and want a nice tasting cartomizer as well, try the Green Smoke.

We love being one of the first to review awesome new electronic cigarette products. We found Fire Brand (Brand Diablo) shortly after they opened shop and had to get one of their Phoenix Millennium starter kits as soon as possible. Luckily, we got a hold of Brian (the owner and all-around awesome guy) and he sent us a kit and some other goodies the same day he got his products in.

Here is what we received:

2 x Manual Batteries (black with red LED)

2 x Hellfire Low-Resistance Atomizers

5 x VG High Tobacco-Flavored Liquitine Premium Cartridges

Extras not included in the kit:

1 x Diablo Atomizer

5 x Sophisto Empty Refillable Cartridges

2 x 5mL Bottles of High Vanilla Liquitine Premium (1 VG & 1 PG)

1 x 3mL Bottle of High Tobacco Liquitine

1 x 3mL Empty Little Devil Pop Top Bottle

1 x Wall Charger

1 x User Manual

FireBrand Cigs and their branding is something to be admired. Everything is put together very well and is fun to look at. When I got the starter kit, I didn’t believe everything could fit into the little box. I opened it up and saw that it did indeed include two batteries, two atomizers, 5 cartridges, user manual and a wall charger. The starter kits are very customizable; you can choose between automatic/manual, regular/mega, and black/platinum batteries. You can also choose between the regular and Hellfire atomizers.

Low-resistance atomizers are an awesome new addition to e-cig land. They heat up faster and hotter than traditional atomizers and create more vapor and throat hit. I also sometimes prefer manual batteries because the push-button lets you control exactly how much vapor you get. For these reasons, we got these options with our kit.

When I plugged in one of the pre-filled high nicotne, tobacco-flavored cartridges, I instantly got an amazing amount of vapor and perfect throat-hit. There was virtually no warm-up or break-in time with the Hellfire atomizers. The taste of the Firebrand Cigs tobacco e-liquid is also excellent. It is smooth and a perfect replacement to traditional cigarettes.

As mentioned, we also got some Sophisto empty cartridges and two 5mL bottles of high nicotine vanilla Liquitine. I’ve tried out both the VG and PG vanilla Liquitine and I am very pleased with both. The vanilla flavor is very noticeable and quite delicious. VG e-liquid is made using vegetable glycerine while PG e-liquid is made from propylene glycol. I find the taste of both liquids to be very similar. However, the vapor from the VG Liquitine seems somewhat “creamier” and produces slightly more vapor and throat-hit. The other advantage of VG e-liquid is that it doesn’t clog atomizers as quickly as PG e-liquid.

As more and more electronic cigarette companies join the industry, many rush in without any sort of plan. This results in poor products, customer service and overall experience. Firebrand (Brand Diablo), on the other hand, has obviously planned everything out fully. The staff is very enjoyable to deal with, the products are top-notch, pricing is great and everything comes together flawlessly. In an over-saturated and shaky industry, Fire Brand (Brand Diablo) is a true gem.

I came across Revolver Electronic Cigarettes about half a year ago and have been a huge fan ever since. I admire the passion that they have for providing the best products on the market. I’m impressed by the low prices that they are able to provide. And I enjoy the excitement that their brand creates. The Infiniti Ion is the perfect display of these values.

The Infiniti Ion has a smooth, gloss-black finish and the tip lights up with a blue LED. The Revolver logo is printed very cleanly on the atomizer and the low-profile cartridges improve the look of the ecig. When you order the Infiniti Ion, you can choose between manual or automatic batteries. I usually prefer manual batteries because of the control they give you over your vaping experience, so I chose this option. The Infiniti Ion starter kit comes with:

• 1 x Black portable charging case (PCC)
• 2 x Batteries
• 1 x Atomizer
• 5 x Tobacco Red (24 mg) cartridges
• 1 x USB to mini USB charger
• 1 x Wall charger adapter
• 1 x User manual

Using the Infiniti Ion is simple – pull a battery out of the PCC, screw on the atomizer, push a new cartridge into the atomizer and enjoy. Revolver’s e-liquid is exceptional. The Tobacco Red flavor that comes with the kit is a great replacement for traditional cigarettes.  Vapor production is above average and the throat hit is strong. Revolver has been working hard on perfecting their refill e-liquid offerings and have built up a large selection of great flavors. Their prices for bottle of e-liquid are great so make sure to check those out and add a few bottles to your shopping cart.

This is a great advantage of the Revolver Infiniti Ion – it is really easy to refill with new e-liquid. Simply peel the tinfoil off of your empty cartridge and drop new liquid into it. When I recorded the video review (you can watch it by clicking the blue play button on the image at the top of this post) I complained that Revolver didn’t include rubber caps to keep the e-liquid in the cartridges if you refill them. The next day I was checking out Revolver’s forum and noticed that they are now offering the caps and are even sending free caps to anyone who has purchased an Infiniti Ion in the past. Just another example of Revolver listening to customer feedback and acting upon it.

There are so many awesome aspects of the Infiniti Ion but one of the best has to be the personal charging case, or PCC. This isn’t your average PCC, it’s a smart PCC. This case stops charging your battery when it is full so it doesn’t wear it out. It has an LED display on the front that shows you how much power is left to charge your batteries. It has an ultra-bright blue LED flashlight on the bottom. Finally, it can hold five cartridges, an atomizer and two batteries. I love this case!

You can’t go wrong with Revolver in general, and the Infiniti Ion is the perfect replacement to traditional cigarettes whether you are new to electronic cigarettes or have been vaping for years.

I was so pumped when I first started using my new Cirrus II electronic cigarette by White Cloud. Right out of the box, the flavor was awesome, the drags were consistent and the throat hit was perfect. After making a quick video review, I took the Cirrus II with me on a vacation. I used the e cig in the airport, on the airplane, playing poker with friends, playing poker in the casino and everywhere else I could. I am back to report that my love for the Cirrus II has continued to grow.

The Cirrus II kit comes with:

• 2 x Automatic Batteries with Red LED
• 5 x Smooth Draw Cartomizers (Tobacco, Menthol or Vanilla)
• 1 x Express USB Charger
• 1 x User Manual

I was extremely pleased with the presentation of the Cirrus II starter kit. It is packaged in a different manner than any other electronic cigarette I have seen and really seemed to be boxed for a retail setting. The cartridges are packed rather tightly in their cardboard box but other than that, the packaging is flawless.

After pulling out one of the cartridges, it’s hard to miss the “Smooth Draw Technology” logo printed on the side. This intrigued me as the draw from a cartridge can really make or break your vaping experience. On the first drag from the Cirrus II, I could see why White Cloud was so proud of these special cartridges. The draw is the closest to a regular cigarette that I have found. Then I noticed the flavor of the full-flavored regular tobacco cartridge. I have tried many, many e-liquids and this one was an instant favorite. It is a smooth and tasty, semi-sweet, nutty flavor that always leaves me wanting more. With the great flavor comes an amazing throat hit that is identical to my old smokes – Parliament Lights. The vapor production is also almost exactly the same as an analog. Needless to say, I am wowed by the full-flavored tobacco cartomizers. I am a little less impressed by the menthol and vanilla cartomizers, but they are still superior to many other varieties that I have used. (more…)

There is a lot of talk about Vapor4Life around the internet. The Vapor King is regarded as one of the best two-piece electronic cigarettes, and their Wow Vapor and Nobacco e-liquids and cartomizers consistently receive great reviews. It was only a matter of time before we got our hands on some of these legendary products.

Vapor4Life sent us 11 different Vapor King batteries, 11 Wow Vapor cartomizer packs in different flavors, a carrying case, a wall charger and a portable charging case. The batteries vary by color and length and came in both manual and automatic styles. Over the past few days I have tried every option and I am extremely impressed.

I was worried when I first started using the Vapor King with the Wow Vapor cartomizers because they weren’t creating much vapor at all. Luckily I kept using them and after about five minutes of use, each cartomizer began creating a great amount of vapor. I do wish the cartomizers would prime quicker, but the vapor production is very impressive. Even more impressive are the flavors and throat hit from each cartomizer. With the exception of the French Vanilla Ice Cream, each e-liquid tasted exactly like the real thing. My favorite flavors are the Cowboy Menthol, Mango, and Coffee. I also love the throat hit that I get with each cartomizer. The sensation is noticeable and strong but never irritating.

The portable charging case (PCC) is very easy to use and is very useful for when you’re away from home for a long time. The battery screws in easily and also holds two cartomizers. Unfortunately you can’t really use the PCC with some of the manual batteries because the button gets pressed down when you close the case, which turns the battery on. The good news is that the batteries can last up to a day of regular vaping before they die. The cartomizers also last very long. I have used one Wow Coffee cartomizer quite often for two days and it is still going strong. (more…)

Vapor4Life has a huge fan base of loyal customers. This is the result of their very successful Vapor King electronic cigarette and their passion for providing great tasting e-liquids. The Vapor King Passthru adds convenience to Vapor4Life’s  offerings.

I spend a lot of time at my computer, whether I’m working on this website, producing music, or just surfing the web. For these reasons, the Vapor King Passthru is perfect for me. This electronic cigarette plugs straight  into your computer’s USB port via a long cable, which means you never have to recharge your batteries.

I was able to get my hands on both a manual and an automatic Vapor King Passthru. While the manual battery, which is activated by a small button, gives you more control over vapor production, I prefer the automatic battery for the passthru model. This is because I can just keep the ecig in my mouth which allows my hands to be free to type.

Vapor4Life sells over 100 different cartomizer flavors. I tried several of their Wow Vapor cartomizers with  my Vapor King Passthrus and thoroughly enjoyed most of them. The only downside of the Wow Vapor cartomizers is that they take a while to warm up and produce a lot of vapor. The vapor production from each cartomizer lacks at first, but after using them for a few minutes, they begin creating clouds of vapor.

Vapor4Life’s cartomizers taste great and the Vapor King Passthru should be on every smoker’s computer desk. It is also one of the lowest priced passthru ecigs I have found. With strong products, great prices and excellent customer service, it’s no wonder why Vapor4Life is a favorite among vapers.

Howdy Folks! I bring to you tonight The BB by AltSmoke. This “modified” electronic cigarette has been my best friend over the last few months. Like a good friend, The BB is dependable and trustworthy, and gives you a good punch in the throat if you really need it.

I started noticing mods shortly after I began using electronic cigarettes. Mods are much larger than your typical e-cig, usually don’t light up, and look more like a weapon than a cigarette. For this reason I stayed away from them far longer than I should have. Mods like The BB have many advantages over the smaller “mini” e-cigs such as more durability, much longer battery life and more dependability. The only real downside to mods are their size. However, I carry my BB comfortably in my pocket everyday. And its strange appearance is a great conversation starter.

Please note: if you order just The BB from AltSmoke, you will receive two pieces – the switch unit and the battery holder. Below is what I ordered with The BB and what I would recommend to you:

1 x The BB

4 x 14500 900mAh Protected Batteries

1 x Battery Charger

5 x Yeti 510 Low Resistance Atomizers

This will get you everything you need for an all-weekend vapeathon. If you don’t like dealing with refillable catridges, you can order the 510 Yeti Cartomizers. AltSmoke also sells AltLiquid e-liquid. Unfortunately, I forgot to add some to my order, but I’ve heard great things about the 555, MLB Tobacco and RY4, and I will be ordering soon.

The BB, paired with the Yeti 510 low-resistance atomizer, creates consistent, huge clouds of vapor. All parts are machined and painted very well, and I love the big button. I don’t typically use The BB at bars or restaurants because it sometimes takes too much explaining of what it is; but it is my most used e-cig at work, in my car and at home.

I also have to mention that AltSmoke’s customer service is beyond top-notch. The owner really cares about his customers and will often reply to your emails late on a weekend night. My kit was shipped out the morning after I ordered it.

As much as I love The BB, there are two things that I would change. First, the unit is sent in a cloth pouch and it would be great if it came with a hard case. Second, I wish AltSmoke would brand The BB with their logo. It is a truly innovative product and they should brand all of their mods accordingly (plus we really like their logo).

Everyone should own a mod like The BB. You rarely have to worry about dead batteries and you can rest easy knowing that it will last for a very long time.

Also known as E-Smoke Stop, ESmoke Freedom has the perfect electronic cigarette for you whether you are a regular smoker or just a social smoker. In this case, we look at the Trilogy which is meant for a light smoker. It is only slightly larger than a cigarette, yet it creates a ton of vapor.

The Trilogy starter kit comes with:

2 x Automatic Batteries (White with Orange LED)

7 x Pre-Filled Catridges

1 x Wall/USB Charger

1 x User Manual

The vapor that this little Trilogy ecig makes is ridiculous. I’ve used plenty of super-mini electronic cigarettes and none of them have come anywhere close to the Trilogy in vapor production. Even crazier is that the Trilogy makes all of this vapor in about five seconds which is when the auto cut-off initiates.

My Trilogy starter kit came with high-strength tobacco pre-filled cartridges. I also got a pack of high-strength mint cartridges. Both flavors taste great and have a subtle but satisfying taste. The mint flavor is so subtle that I can only really taste the mintiness after I exhale, but I like this a lot. Unfortunately there is little-to-no throat-hit with the stock cartridges. However, after I vaped all of the e-liquid out of one of the cartridges (which took about 10 cigarettes worth of vaping) I refilled the cartridge with some high nicotine Cinnamon Roll Nobacco Juice from Vapor 4 Life and the throat-hit was much more noticeable. I believe that ESmoke Freedom’s very high nicotine level e-liquids would also give more of a throat-hit.

Even though a stronger throat-hit can be achieved by using different e-liquids, I would still only suggest the Trilogy to light and social smokers because of the battery life. The small batteries only last for about an hour when vaping regularly. This isn’t enough battery life if you are using this kit while you are away from a power source for an extended time. Luckily, the batteries also charge in an hour or less.

The Trilogy electronic cigarette is small and light. It looks and feels just like a traditional cigarette and creates a surprising amount of vapor. The stock flavors are also very tasty but the lack of throat-hit might cause some ESmoke Freedom customers to look elsewhere for stronger e-liquid. Regardless, this electronic cigarette is high-quality and ESmoke Freedom’s customer service is great. If you know someone who “only smokes when they drink” or only smokes a few cigarettes a day, do them a favor and get them the Trilogy.

I’m not sure what is going on with the GreenPuffer electronic cigarette by Vapor Corp (Fifty-One), but we got the kit and want to share all of our reviews with you, so here goes…

Before getting the starter kit, I did a little research. I was able to find the GreenPuffer website by navigating through Fifty-One’s “About” page. When I got to the site everything was presented very nicely, but I started noticing a few oddities. Pictures were missing on certain pages and the site’s layout would get all messed up occasionally. It was apparent that this is a brand new product.

When the GreenPuffer kit showed up on my doorstep, I decided to do the review right away. I noticed one difference from any other kit right away – one of the electronic cigarettes was fully assembled in the box. Most e-cig companies wouldn’t ship their products like this because the treatment that the USPS gives packaging could cause the battery to activate, which can cause issues with the atomizer. However, after testing the e-cig, there didn’t seem to be any ill-effects from sending the unit together.

Our GreenPuffer starter kit came with:

• 2 x Automatic Batteries with Orange LED – one short & one long
  • The website states one battery in some spots, and two in others but in the same length. It also shows a green tip.
• 5 x Tobacco Leaf Cartomizers (Mint Leaf is also available)
  • The website and packaging show white cartridges but mine arrived in the tan color.
• 1 x Express USB/Wall Charger
  • The website shows a completely different charger when you click on the starter kit image on the homepage (noticing a theme?).
• 1 x User Manual

After my first drag on the GreenPuffer, I almost wanted to put it down and never pick it up again. I wasn’t able to pull any vapor into my mouth and instead, got a nice dose of e-liquid on my tongue. I tried changing the cartridge and had the same results. I then realized that by slightly unscrewing the cartomizer, air was able to flow through and I got a massive amount of vapor. The throat hit was also pleasant but I was very unimpressed by the flavor. It tasted stale and the only thing I liked about it was that it didn’t have the usual sugary taste of many other tobacco flavors. After making myself use the GreenPuffer for about a week, the taste is growing slightly on me but I still prefer most other e-liquids over this Original Leaf flavor.

I believe that we were sent one of the first GreenPuffer kits ever put together. Fifty-One isn’t really promoting this brand yet, and obviously there are a lot of loose ends left. Hopefully this means that they are still developing this product further. I wish I would have waited longer to order the GreenPuffer as I really enjoy the other two-piece electronic cigarettes by this company. We will let you know if we hear of any changes to the GreenPuffer

Also known as E-Smoke Stop, ESmoke Freedom has the perfect electronic cigarette for you whether you are a regular smoker or just a social smoker. Here we look at the Tango. The Tango is a two-piece ecig and is marketed toward regular to heavy smokers.

The Tango starter kit comes with:

2 x Automatic Batteries (White with Red LED)

6 x Cartomizers

1 x Wall/USB Charger

1 x User Manual

The Tango is packaged and branded much more nicely than the Trilogy. The design is very eye catching. My Tango starter kit came with high tobacco cartomizers and I also got some menthol cartomizers on the side. I started out with the tobacco cartomizer. On first drag, the Tango didn’t create much vapor. However, the taste and throat hit were very nice. The tobacco flavor is very subtle and enjoyable. Next I tried the menthol cartomizer. This flavor is a decent representation of traditional menthol cigarettes but still has a slight spearmint taste. From the start, the vapor production with the menthol cartomizer was less than from the tobacco cartomizer, but the throat hit was stronger. Eventually after using both cartomizers for about 15 minutes, each began creating much more vapor. Overall, I really enjoy the tastes and throat hits from the Tango cartomizers. (more…)

With over 125 different battery designs, Cigarti is the most customizable electronic cigarette supplier around. They are also one of the tastiest. The fruit-flavored cartomizers that came with our kit contain some of the best stock e-liquids that I have had. However, the throat hit and vapor production suffer at times.

The Cigarti Electronic Cigarette starter kit comes with:

• 2 x Automatic Batteries with Orange LED (one short and one long)
• 5 x Cartomizers (Vanilla, Tobacco, Mint, Strawberry, Apple, Grape, Lemon or Orange)
• 1 x Express USB/Wall Charger
• 1 x User Manual
• 1 x Membership Card

The Cigarti starter kit is packaged very nicely. The design is clean and professional. When you open the flap, there is a bullet list of important information to keep in mind before you use your e-cig. It reads:

• Read manual prior to use.
• Fully charge batteries before using.
• Keep the cartridges in a cool dark place.
• Keep all batteries and cartridges away from children. (more…)

In another show of marketing genius, Green Smoke is offering Johannesburg, South Africa residents coupons for trading in their non-Green Smoke brand electronic cigarettes. This coupon is worth R300.00 (approx. $40 USD) and can be used toward purchasing Green Smoke products. The company suggests purchasing their starter kit and using the coupon toward their cartridges, which currently cost R99 for a five pack.

Green Smoke hopes that Johannesburg residents who are unhappy with their current brand of e-cig will take up this offer and become life-long Green Smoke customers. It takes a great deal of confidence in a product for a company to offer such a large discount in hopes of converting new customers.

Head over to Revolver and learn more. The deadline is October 22, 2010 so hurry!

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.

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 few months ago we began discussions with the owner of a local chain of gas stations about selling electronic cigarettes in his locations. Luckily we realized that we weren’t prepared to handle the requirements of this endeavor. Since then we have learned a great deal about electronic cigarettes and what it takes to be successful in distributing them offline.

There are many gas stations and retail locations across the U.S. selling electronic cigarettes with varying degrees of success. Most of these locations can be found along the East Coast. However, pockets of retail stores selling electronic cigarettes are popping up in other areas including the Midwest where we are located. Just this evening I walked into a PDQ in Madison WI and found a small display for Fifty-One Electronic Cigarettes.

Fifty-One has recently taken over the kiosks in our two major local malls from Smoking Everywhere. Fifty-One is very similar to Smoking Everywhere except for the fact that they sell disposable e-cigs as well. I asked the cashier at PDQ how the e-cigs were selling and she told me that she had personally sold two kits in the past week and she thought others had been stolen. With the help of companies like Fifty-One, we hope that e-cigs become more popular and wish them the best in the offline arena.

Below are, in our eyes, the keys to succeeding in selling electronic cigarettes in retail:

1) Don’t Sell Disposables – Disposable electronic cigarettes are a great way to try out e-cigs before investing a lot of money. Unfortunately, the costs of disposables do not pay off when compared to how much use you get out of them. Every disposable we have used has equaled out to about a packs-worth of traditional cigarettes, and the cost for disposables is typically $14 or higher. Unless you are living in NYC, that isn’t a very good deal. Besides, it usually takes more than one cartridge of vaping to decide if you really enjoy electronic cigarettes. Stores will be better off selling a small, rechargeable kit with multiple cartridges. We suggest finding a low-priced KR-808 as this two piece model is simple, provides a lot of vapor, looks like a cigarette, and most new vapers fall in love quickly with them.

2) Make it Cheap – Carrying on from the point above, the initial high cost of electronic cigarettes is a huge deterrent for a lot of potential vapers. Most retail locations partner with established electronic cigarette companies because the companies will typically handle the displays and logistics. The downside is they will usually charge more to cover marketing and branding expenses. There are many generic suppliers that can provide very low-priced kits that perform exceedingly well.

3) Provide Learning Materials – Knowledge is king. Through my experience, I’ve come to realize that most people don’t fully understand what electronic cigarettes are, and view them as a gimmick or fad. The best way to combat this is to provide a little reading material. A stack of simple flyers next to the register explaining what electronic cigarettes are, and how they are better than analogs, should do the trick.

4) Lock it Up – The display case pictured above was covered on all sides but the back. It would be very easy to reach around the back and pull the electronic cigarettes and cartridges out. This was confirmed when the cashier told me that she believed more had been stolen than sold. Theft of electronic cigarettes would be unfortunate on multiple levels. It would hurt your revenue from the product, which makes it less likely to keep them in stock. It can also lead to electronic cigarettes falling into the hands of minors. If a parent catches their child with electronic cigarettes and learns that they came from the local gas station, that parent could very easily make a public outcry to not sell electronic cigarettes there.

5) Keep It Simple Stupid – One of the first things I learned while taking classes on marketing was “KISS,” or Keep It Simple Stupid. The truth is, if you bombard the customer with too much variety or information, they will be turned off. Even though there are hundreds of excellent flavors available for electronic cigarettes, we suggest selling only a few. Historically, the strongest sales of e-liquid flavors have been traditional tobacco, menthol, cherry and vanilla. Do your research and find a supplier with a good track record of happy customers.

6) Educate Employees – Every retail employee I’ve spoken to at stores that sell electronic cigarettes doesn’t seem to know very much about the products or the industry. I don’t suggest that they should take classes or become experts. But, they should have good knowledge about how it works, life of cartridges and batteries, and a general knowledge of the why the brand they are selling is better than the competition. Customers need to feel secure that what they are purchasing is useful and high-quality.

7) Don’t Sell to Minors – It may seem like common sense to keep electronic cigarettes out of the hands of minors. Unfortunately, in most states, there aren’t any laws banning sales to minors, and some suppliers have gotten in trouble for not taking this initiative. Electronic cigarettes aren’t any less addictive than traditional cigarettes, and sales of electronic cigarettes should be held to the same standards as traditional cigarettes.

If offline retailers follow the steps above, we truly believe that they will be successful in selling electronic cigarettes. This public exposure will also help broaden the impact of e-cigs and make them more commonplace.

Totally Wicked has been working with Joytech to develop a brand new electronic cigarette, sure to rock the e-cig world.  We have highlighted just some of the functions of the Evil Weevil below and further down you can watch the video describing the upcoming unit in further detail.

Blu Cigs is undoubtedly at the top of the game in their marketing efforts – a beautiful website, unique blue tip, colorful product packaging, and crisp creative. And at this year’s Grammy Awards Ceremony, Blu raised the bar even higher.

Managing to get their starter kits (decked out in exclusive Swarovski crystal-embedded packaging) into the official GRAMMY Awards Gift Bags, Blu has effectively made its name known with today’s greatest trendsetters. It should only be a matter of time until we see the effects of this effort.

With all of the controversy over electronic cigarettes, it is important for the industry to gather public support. Blu’s move to convert celebrity smokers to vapers should prove to add invaluable momentum to this movement. Music videos, movies, TV shows? We’ll have to wait and see…
