Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value |
Bedford Slims review by Nikitas on October 21 2012:
Overall
Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/ValueAnyway, the draw has really improved over the earlier model. The OHM resistance on the battery has been lowered which makes the drag smoother and slightly longer. Overall, I think that makes it kinder on my throat. I avoided buying their tartan print because it was just not my style, but the stainless steel is minimalistic and doesn't try to make a statement like the pattern does. Jesse, over there at this product, is a no-nonsense guy. It's obvious that customer service is a priority there. One more thing: the Dark Roast flavor is ridiculously good. |

Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Valuethis brand Vapourettes supply a nice throat hit and we found is the easiest to use (we smoke regular tobacco). The flavors are full and complex and for the price an unbeatable deal. We have whittled ourselves down to the 12mg dosage and are even buying 0mg nicotine now. Of all the methods we tried this ecig worked for us. Cary Hubby |

Overall
Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/ValueWhen I decided to try e-cigarettes and happened upon this e-cigarette, the price of this e-cig starter kit was a SUPER STEAL compared to some of the $100 kits I had seen. So I thought, "Hell- what do I have to lose?" The cost was akin to a couple of packs of smokes, instead of a carton. The taste is really stand-out among other e-cigarettes I have had the displeasure of trying. This product' traditional Tobacco flavor is my favorite. It is yummy and flavorful; at the same time, strikes me as mild in the sense that I do not get an overwhelmingly deep, pipe-tobacco taste; I love the slightly-sweet and unoffensive flavor of the vapor. It tastes nothing like a traditional cigarette, but that is what really appealed to me. Mild enough yet unique enough to catch my attention & keep it. Menthol is minty and refreshing. Dark Roast is BOLD roasted espresso. No crazy aftertaste, nasty smell or burnt-up baloney & easy to use. Unwrap the cart, pull off the rubber seals & screw it onto the Vapourette battery. Inhale. Enjoy! On the inhale, the cart crackles at times (soothing like a campfire) To charge, unscrew the cart, screw onto the USB charger, plug in. Wait a bit for the charger's green light to switch on and you're back in business! For me, the no-nonsense set-up made my transition to e-cigarettes a breeze. I order them online (as I live in BFE). Shipping from Brooklyn to my one-horse-town in Texas is QUICK, as it usually goes out the same-day. Mr. This device himself CARES about customers & strives to do more than make a quick buck; I've emailed random questions and I always receive a REAL reply. The company really strives to bring an essence of a time when people enjoyed tobacco, before the constant worry of cancer/death/chemicals. I won't smoke anything else. |

Bedford Slims offers a slightly different approach to purchasing their merchandise. I mention this because there are three options to choose from when placing an order. Of these three options one may seem a bit wasteful, but everyone is different and variety is the key to success. The first option is to purchase their Starter Kit for about $34.00 it includes: 1 USB Charger, 1 Vapourette and 1Flavor Pack. The electronic cigarette included their Starter Kit may also be treated as a disposable unit. Leading me to option two, simply discard the entire unit after the cartomizer is empty. If you prefer this method there are cartons of 10 individual e-cigarettes available for $105.00 or a single unit for $12.00. The third and last option is to purchase a cartomizer refill pack for $13.00, a separate USB Adapter for $10.00 and treat the two piece unit as you would any other e-cigarette. Replace cartomizer when it becomes empty and recharge the battery when it's depleted.
It's always been a habit to read the fine print and check warranty information on any product I plan to purchase or review. With that being said, they offer one of the best satisfaction guarantees I've seen offered by any electronic cigarette company in quite some time. Often, too many companies offer to exchange your e-cigarette for another if you're unhappy. But what happens if you want your money back? That's when most companies get a little fussy and usually you're stuck with a purchase that's not wanted. That's not the case when placing an order with BFS. If you're not completely satisfied with your purchase within 30 days, simply mail your e-cigarette or vapourette back to them, with the original receipt and you'll receive a full refund. In my opinion, this is exactly the type of guarantee that will provide customer security and earn a loyal following of return customers.
Not only are their electronic cigarettes well crafted, I know this because my unit was unintentionally dropped from a car window then ran over and the unit still works perfectly. They're also distinctively designed with a Gray Plaid covering that makes the device look nothing like a traditional cigarette. In fact the entire design conveys a sense of sophistication and provides a classy aspect to the unit as a whole. Completely assembled the electronic cigarette measures 4 3/4 inches long and is noticeably lighter, smaller in diameter and longer than most other brands of electronic cigarettes. Just because this e-cigarette looks different, doesn't mean there aren't attributes that provide a smoking sensation that's realistic. The coordinating Gray plastic LED tip glows Red when in use and with each drag the e-cigarette creates a noticeable sound that's reminiscent of a burning analog cigarette.
Batteries for the BFS Vapourette are only available in 1 standard size and utilize 280 mAh. One battery will provide approximately 150 complete charges before replacement is necessary. Charging the battery is simple, just attach it to the BFS brand USB Adapter and plug it into a computer port. It takes between 1.5 and 2 hours for the battery to recharge. The battery will need to be charged every other day if the unit is used heavily. If you're a light user, the battery will only require charging every few days. When charging, the LED tip will continuously glow Red until it has been completely charged. Upon completion the tip turns off and the indicator light on the USB Adapter turns Green, signaling the charge has been completed.
Cartomizers are wrapped in solid Black paper, arrive triple sealed and are sold in packages of 5. One cartomizer is equal to about 2 packs of cigarettes or about 300 puffs each. When deciding on Nicotine saturation there's 3 levels to choose from: 24 mg, 12 mg and 0 mg.
When it's time to decide on a vaping flavor, choices are limited to three. A Spearmint flavored Menthol, which is proclaimed on the BFS website to also freshen breath as you vape. Tobacco Flavor, described to have a hint of Vanilla but honestly I didn't notice any such flavor when testing it. BFS Tobacco flavor resembled a high end tobacco and left an after taste similar to Walnuts. And finally, Dark Roast which has Caffeine added to provide that extra burst of energy. As an avid coffee drinker, I found Dark Roast to resemble a palatable intermingling of Coffee and a rich, wild grown Tobacco. Personally, I didn't notice a significant buzz from the added Caffeine, only a slight pick me up that was welcomed when coffee was unavailable.
The first few pulls from my BFS e-cig produced a slightly over powering inhalation, but that's a normal occurrence when starting a fresh cartomizer from any brand of electronic cigarette. After a few inhalations the vapor became smooth and looked moderately thick. Continued use created vapor that was noticeable, but not as initially thick and only increased with a longer pull. Throat hit was clearly evident and felt similar to a traditional cigarette. I enjoyed my Bedford Slims review and believe that anyone who purchases this brand will also find it an enjoyable experience to vape with a BFS brand e-cigarettes.
