ProVape: ProVape 1

The ProVape 1 is perhaps the best electronic cigarette mod I have ever used. ?ProVape sent their ProVape 1 Electronic Cigarette to us because they knew it was a product that they would stand behind and we would as well. ?Finally heavy smokers have the smoking alternative they have been looking for. ?This e cig mod will last you eight hours of use (not standby) and deliver great amounts of vapor.

This e cig houses many great features, but one of the best is that it is made in the USA. ?There are very few e cigarettes actually made in the USA, so if you want to buy American, this is a great choice! ?The key features are:

  • 16 Second Safety Cutoff – If the button is held down for more than 16 seconds, the ProVape E Cig will turn itself off until the button is released. ?This will keep you and your e cigarette safe. ?If you held the button down for 3 minutes, the atomizer could reach over 325 degrees, melting the device and injuring the user.
  • Short Circuit Protection – This prevents a short in the atomizer or cartomizer from causing battery damage or explosions.
  • Reverse Battery Protection – Protects against reverse battery installation. ?If this function was not in place, placing the battery in backwards could cause the device to short out.
  • Thermal Monitoring System – Shuts the device off if it detects a high temperature. ?Once it is cooled off, it will resume normal operation.
  • Amperage Limiting – The ProVape 1 will automatically shut itself off if it detects excessive over-current conditions.
  • Fail Safe Monitoring Circuit – The special circuitry in the ProVape 1 will monitor the device 24/7 for any abnormal conditions and shut down if any problems arise. ?Redundant safeties are built into the device so that no single point failure will cause an unsafe condition of the ProVape 1 E Cigarette (more…)
ProVape: ProVape 1Joe Sweeney4.583333333333332011-08-08 13:45:03I have never seen an electronic cigarette come close to what ProVape does they have actually released a new model now that has even more features. We will work on getting a review for that in the near future, but I can assure you that it will live up to the ProVape name. Overall the ProVape 1 Electronic Cigarette is the equivelant of a 510 on steroids.

AltSmoke: The BB

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.
