Cloud 9 offers one of the most unique electronic cigarettes that we have seen at a very affordable price.  With a limited amount of drawbacks with this e-cig, the Cloud 9 501 – 502 Hybrid is a good option for consumers who are unsure of what style they may want.  The reason we call it unique is due to the ability to use the same battery for the three piece model as the two piece.  What does this mean you may ask?  It means you can buy either kit and if you want a change you can buy cartomizers (cartridges with a new atomizer built in every one) or empty carts and an atomizer and switch out whenever you want.  You finally have the low cost choice to change between convenience and higher cost savings.

Cloud 9 sent us the 501 Electronic Cigarette and the 502 E Cigarette along with e-liquid and some accessories to review.

The 502 E Cig is configurable for consumers to select how much product they want for the price.  All of the 502 e-cig kits come with 2 batteries, 5 cartomizers, 1 wall charger, and 1 user manual.  The high end kit comes with a USB charger as well and 15 extra cartomizers.  The kits in between the economy kit and the high end kit include different amounts of cartomizers.

The vapor production from the Cloud 9 502 E Cigarette is good.  It is not the most we have seen but is the equivalent of the amount of smoke that comes from an analog cigarette. The throat hit is solid as well to emulate the sensation of smoking.  The style is superior, especially if you get the all black version that looks really slick.  The white and tan version looks just like a cigarette and is great for those trying to match a cigarettes look.

The Cloud 9 501 E Cigarette is the three piece design that doesn’t live up to the 502 E Cig by Cloud 9.  The 501 E Cigarette comes with two batteries, 1 atomizer, 5 cartridges, 1 user manual, and 1 wall charger.  You can also get packages to include up to 50 cartridges and a USB charger for under $90.00.

The style is one of the best features of this e-cigarette.  It comes with batteries in three different color choice: White, Black, and Pink.  The cartridges are tan or black and it is around the size of a normal analog cigarette.  The place where the 501 E Cig comes up short is the atomizer and cartridges.  The cartridges are difficult to get off the atomizer to refill and the atomizer does not produce much vapor at all.  The throat hit is still pretty good, but not as good as the 502 E Cigarette that Cloud 9 makes.  It is important to point out that Cloud 9 offers some great liquid and can really save you money.  The liquids taste great so even if you don’t buy an e cig, check out their liquids and get some of them!

Overall the 502 E Cigarette is a solid choice for most starter that smoke around .75 packs a day.  The 501 E Cig is probably best for light smokers that are under a half pack a day.  If you are looking for a good value e cigarette then choose Cloud 9.  They are not the best but they are far from the bottom of the barrel.  It really is a middle of the road e cigarette.
