Review by Brad on February 14 2012: post comment
Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		Garbage. I purchased this overpriced item at the local smoke shop because I intended on quitting. It could not hold a charge and the replacement carts, although cheaper than a pack of smokes, are over priced. They DO NOT last as long as a pack, a lie told over and over many times. After this POS I decided to FULLY research ECIGS and found that I could have gotten a larger battery, with a nice atomizer that I can fill with liquid that I can buy for much less than the replacement carts Envy provides. I was a pack a day smoker and I got a 1000 mAh battery with a Tube Tank that holds 4ml of fluid. It lasts me the entire day and I buy my juice from a vendor that sells it for 9.95 for 30ml. The flavors are far more diverse and better on the open market, the flavors and vape production given by Envy are pathetic by contrast. This product is WAY overpriced for what you receive. You can spend the same money on a high end ecig that you can vape on all day without charging or refilling. Go to google and check out some forums dedicated to Electronic Cigarettes, it will keep you WELL away from this product.

Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		I was skeptical when ordering the economy starter set from Envy. It cost $19.95 and included the Nirvana battery and 5 cartomizers (cartridges with built-in disposable atomizers). Shipping was also free. The device works very well. Battery life is not amazing, but the battery charges relatively quickly and lasts several hours (if used continuously). My suggestion is to buy two batteries if you think you'll want to use it throughout the day. I eventually went ahead and bought an atomizer, which allows you to use the blank cartridges (which they also sell) which you can fill with e-liquid. The e-liquid flavors are great, my favorites are Sex On The Beach and Peach. The menthol flavor is my favorite default flavor. I also tried the Bliss, thinking it was an upgrade, but did not like it at all. It took too much effort to get a drag off of it, so I sent it back and had it fully exchanged part-by-part for Nirvana parts. The customer service is exceptional, they have gotten back to me quickly and I have had no problems. What I would suggest as the optimal setup is this: 2 nirvana batteries, a set of 10 blank cartridges, a nirvana atomizer, an e-liquid of your choice, and a carrying case. With this setup, I can use my Nirvana all day with no problems. This is not THE BEST e-cig out there, but for the price and functionality, it is definitely my favorite after having tried several other brands. Thanks, and I hope this review helps!

Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		Do not purchase the envy bliss. Its a piece of crap. Battery lasts approximately 5 mins. Vapor is nonexistant. Customer service sucks. Ive contacted them 4 time with no reply at all. You would be better off taking a lighter to a 50 dollar bill. At least you will get more smoke out of it then you ever will envy products.

Envy review by Donald on June 30 2011: post comment
Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		Some of my history,in 1974 I quit smoking cold turkey and after 35 yrs. started to smoke again.two yrs.later I wanted to stop. I purchased starter pack Envy Bliss, I had to learn the nature of Ecig. It was quite different from regular cigs.This was april 11,2011 one day before my 71st. birthday. I started using the Ecig plus about 5to6 reg. cigs. per day.After the third day I was amazed at how I felt to say the least. the kit I purchased at a gas mart, $49.00 plus tax. Soon after I went on line and ordered a PCC plus extra cartridges. So after the 3rd. day, no more regular cigarettes. I purchased 4 other brands of Ecigs. and they all work great ounce you learn the characteristic of each brand. I state this review because I was unsure at the start of using the Ecig. But they have all proved to be excellent in there own light.Will I stop using the Ecig. I don't know at this point but I do know that I'm away from regular cigarettes and my option to stop will be quite easier at this point in time. I just ask smoking readers of this review to give what ever your choice of Ecig. is, a chance for you to learn about it. I believe that you will be better satisfied. Thank You for taking the time to read this review I'm very satisfied with my result, especially the Envy Bliss.

Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		sucks. if this is what you are looking for then its not it. spend the money for something better. this crap dont do anything it pretends. it is a horrible investment. half the time no smoke or nic. might as well cut off a extension of garden hose and suck that.

Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		I spent $54 on mine. The battery doesn't last long at all. I am almost two pack a day smoker. I do like the feel and taste of the menthol. Some of the fluid does leak out. I like al smoke in my car and the wind just killed the battery and i do find at times it does get warm. Also as i look at the other review that batteries are all pos some last a bit longer than others but not by much. This are still a bit new. I'm sure they will update to make last longer - it's just take a bit longer than we like. I would like it if they would bring out more flavors. In the end I like it, i would recommend it along with extra batteries.

Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		I have had my Envy Bliss for almost a year. The company is great with customer service and I love the flavor of their cartridges. I have two extra batteries so that I can have charged batteries for when I know I will be away from my home. This is a great electronic cigarette. I am looking into getting the Envy Ego. I have heard great things about it. I looked at Envy's specials page and they have everything I can think of with it on special. I will be buying this today!

Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		I only spent $35 for my kit. I've had it for almost 6 months now, and it works great! I recommended it to my friend and she bought the Envy Ego kit in stead. Her batteries last sooo much longer than mine, but they're much thicker too, so now I'm online looking up the Envy Ego kit. Does anyone know where i can get reviews on that?

Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		Ive been smoking Envy bliss for 2 months now. I couldnt be any happier to have this product. The smoke is fully visible and thick. Its a fantastic product and I highly recommend this product. I used other e-cigarette and Envy is one of best e-cigarette so far.

Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		this was a big waste of my money went to store seven times and they still arnt worth my time or money

Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		I've had this product for about a week now, and I have been fairly dissapointed. Paid $65 for the starter kit and a pack of high regular cartridges. I have to charge the bettery at least 4 times a day, and change cartridges about twice a day. I tried an e-cig I bought on a whim (for 24 bucks from a local gas station) called greensmartliving, and was blown away by that one. I ran out of cartridges for that one, and the store was temporarily out of stock, but they had the Envy, for 3 times the price. I decided that if I liked the cheap one, I would absolutely love the expensive one....NOT!!!! With the greensmartliving one, i could go all day on a battery, and a day and a half on the cartrdge. The taste was much better, more vapor, although you have to puff a little harder to get it. I would say, bypass the Envy, do some research, and find the one that best suits your needs.

Pamela posted on March 16 2011: post comment
Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		I bought this last week at gas station. Battery takes 45 minutes to charge, lasts almost a day, depending on how much you use it, hard to say acurately. Cartridge longevity, again hard to say, I don't count the puffs but almost a day, til there is no vapor then cartridge is dead. Vapor OK, but would like more/longer. Seems to work fine, tastes better than cigarettes, love the flavors, especially vanilla & strawberry, wish you had LIGHTS tho. Just has high & medium levels. I am a menthol Ultra Light smoker & do not like the menthol, tastes funny. Nicotine levels don't go low enough either. Don't you think government has put some other addictive chemical/s in cigarettes to keep us hooked & that's why quitting on nicotine alone doesn't work...I wouldn't put it past them. I wish I could only smoke these, they taste so cool/good PLUS you can smoke anywhere (grin), but I find I still want a cigarette, so I use these as a fill in, which helps. Price $50 for kit and you can get in store, doesn't have to be online, which what happens when online is out of stock?? I would love to compare others, but at the kit cost, it starts to add up. So with nothing to compare to, I'd say this was alright as a starter. Cartridge packs are sold in 5's at $10. Extra chargers and accessories also on sale about $10 each It would be REAL nice to make all e-cigs universally interchangeable with all cartridges even from other brands. Then I could get low nicotine and other flavors. Envy is limited in that regard. I post this review for FREE, no incentives from anyone. I'm a personal, private person, not affilated with anyone. Cause with all the Scams out there, who knows who to believe anymore. Integrity is slowing going away. It's all about the money!! Money IS the root of all evil.

Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		Just bought it yesterday....so far not good. Battery needed charged 3 xs. Still making vapor but can't tell if cartridge needs changed. Also hate that I have to undo it to charge it. I can't figure out if Im getting nicotine or just vapor...IS this thing on?

Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		This is a shitty product. One cartridge equates to 18 cigarettes (equates to 18 draggs..lol) A CROCK OF SHIT. It does not last for a day if your a smoker who only smokes 9 ciggs a day. Dont waste your money.. Im sorry I did.... When we ordered The Envy Bliss 5 pack comes with 5 individually cartridge. We open the usps package and the envy box was already open and they wrote on the actual wrapper (men High) what company does that. We paid $11 and some change for an open product that had writing on it. This does not help you quit if anything im stress out over this an need a real cigg. I pay more for this product then I do for a real cigg. My ciggs cost 6.59 and I dont smoke a whole pack aday.

Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		Don't buy this piece of shit! I SPENT $60 FOR ONE. Everybody else sell 2 for $60. this piece of garbage only lasted 2 weeks, now it wont hold a charge. Everytime you shake the damn thing the tip lights up draining the battery quickly. You can't drive and use this because the thing will heat up draining the battery.
	dustin commented on April 04 2011: try loosening the 2 pieces.. not all the way tightened down. also the wind is what makes it keep lighting up

Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		I am not 100% happy with the performance of this ecig. At first it seemed to perform good. After a week, the time that the battery would hold a charge kept getting less and less. Now, after just a couple hours it needs charged. Sometimes when I use it it gets very hot all of the sudden and then just quits. I'm thinking there might be a defect with this and may try to figure out how to get some help from the manufacturer.
	beau commented on January 24 2011: I got mine from a smoke shop for 60 bucks. It worked good for 2 weeks. It was on charge all night i took maybe 5-10 hits and the stupid battery is dead. This thing heats up when it is in it's case and drains my battery. I can get 2 highly rated e-cig from e-smokey treats for the price of this trash. The cartridges cost to much. They say it last for about 18 cigs. Thats a lie maybe 2 or 18 puffs. I found a youtube review for e smoke & e cigs thats alot cheaper.

Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		Just got mine yesterday. I really liked it at first, but i had to replace cartridge by the end of the night, and charge it twice. Tastes great though and smells way better than regular cigarettes. Oh and....love the green LED.
	Julia commented on December 13 2010: I am totally impressed with ENVY cigarettes. Envy has a draw which feels like a cigarette. The charge is very fast.I recommend Envy. Thanks Guy's.

Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		i love my envy bliss it feels most like a real cig and it has replaced at least half of my cigs in the week i have had it and the cartridges are a fair price if you get them from the envy website all in all i would say it is a great investment and the best part is if im in someplace with friends i dont need to go outside to smoke i can just pull it out and start puffing

Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		Bought this at a gas station. Worked great...for the first 3 pulls or so on a cart. this is day 2 of owning it and I have gone through 4 carts and now my atomizer has crapped out. Junk product. Find something else, because it's a money pit. Not reliable, and sounds like after you replace it, it'll crap out again.
	dustin commented on April 04 2011: yes, i had the same prob;em with mine. i loosened it up a little bit and it worked great. also when it gets too hot it doesnt work right awway. once it cools down wait a minute then try it again... it should work (or at least mine did)
	Austin commented on January 09 2011: I have one as well and it worked good for about a week and now is not holding a charge and sometimes the thing just gets very hot and then stops working. I can put it on the charger and it will charge for a while and be ok. Then it all happens again.
	Brennon commented on November 28 2010: Hi i noticed your post and its not the cig its how tight you screwed your atomizer on. if the light comes on and stays on with the slightest inhale its probly to tight. losin it a hair at a time. i thought the same thing and quit using it for a month and found it and played with it again and found that solution.

Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		I have to throw my hat in the negative pile. Day three and the battery stays charged for about an hour, max. Yup, it's a pile, but at least from the two days it worked ok, I know the concept is worth it and workable. Now to find a good product.

Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		I bought my Envy a few weeks ago. I love it! The battery takes no time to charge and a cartridge will last me about a day. With the cartridges only costing about $2.00 a piece I'm saving great money from my pack a day habit.

Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		I've only had mine two days and it's going strong.Puts out good vapor and since my first full charge battery is going strong. Worries me with all the Meg reviews hopefully I got a strong one. So far it's doin it's job. I will say that I've been chain vaporing though and went through to cartridges in 10 hrs the first day but I think that had something to do with the batt. going dead Since then runs great Just n case though I ordered 30mg nic. E liquid to slow down the need topuffpuff for a fix.

Overall Battery Life Smoke/Vapor Cust. Service Cost/Value		I bought mine at a local smoke shop for $30, and it is working great. The price of new carts is a rip though.
	Austin commented on January 09 2011: Wow. You got a great deal. That is the cheapest price that I have heard of! Personally though, I think that is all the bliss is worth. I have not had good luck with it at all. The battery does not last at all and then sometimes when you smoke it, it gets very hot all of the sudden and then quits. Have to put it back on the charger. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt, and the charge does not last long. I bought a Safe Cig. So far it is Awesome! Came with a case, 3 BATTERIES, car charger, home charger, and usb, along with 2 packs of cartomizers. I love the cartomizers. The battery lasted 2 days before needed charging, then I just put one of the extra batteries on and am still using the same cart. Still wondering when I am going to have to change it. It lasts forever.
