First things first: This is NOT a bad product. Well, what little of it I DID get to test. After reading hundreds of glowing reviews, I decided to order a quite a bit of merchandise from this company, right from the get-go. A starter kit, a PCC (personal charging case), and 3 extra packs of carts, which gave me a free extra battery, which came to well over $100.00. So, 3 days later, I got my package, and...are you ready for this...minus the starter kit. Put your coffee cup down and read that again. That wasn't a typo, and you aren't hallucinating. I actually, honest-to-God didn't get the freaking STARTER kit! What I DID get in its place was a few extra carts.
Now, I'm no dummy, I'm a retired Veteran, but let me tell you, the email response I received from them would have required a team of lawyers, linguists, Stephen Hawking, and Harry Houdini to translate. I wish I was making this up, you have to see it to believe it. Anyway, what I did manage to gather was that they (I think..) were asking me to return the *extra carts* that were supposed to come with the starter kit, and something about a 2 day something-or-other and an RMA. Despite being retired, I'm still a pretty busy guy, so I didn't read that until several days later, and had inadvertently opened the packages of *extra* carts.
Long story short, if they mess up your order (again, I didn't get the freaking S-T-A-R-T-E-R kit!), you will most likely wind up playing mail and email tag with them for a couple of weeks or longer. I'm blessed in the sense that I'm not hurting for money, so I told them to keep it, and that I would be going with another company. (How do you forget a STARTER KIT???? I can't emphasize that enough! It's like buying a brand new car, only the body, the frame, the wheels, and the engine are missing, leaving you with nothing but seats, a radio, a couple of seat belts, and ... well, you get the idea).
You have been warned.

Got the starter kit from ST a few days ago. Shipping was very fast. The kit is great so far. I haven't had a real smoke in 3 days. Stopped just like that!! So I'm lucky to use ST and stopping smoking. Thank you ST. |

I really researched the brands available to me and decided to go with ST. The order came in 6 days. I believe the cartridges are not really equivalent to even a full pack. The taste was awesome and I really liked them but I had to reorder the next day or so. The problem was The refill cartridges took over two weeks to get here and I started back on regular cigarettes. I would have to reorder the refill packs every week in order to get them with out running out. I might try them again in the future but for now I just smoke regular cigs. It would really pay off if I could get a good deal on the refill cartridges but it would actually cots me $20.00 for around 6 packs and not knowing how long it will take the refills to arrive is not a good deal. |

Happy with my ST e-cigs.
Order refills and you get another batt for free. The cost of the refill carts is less and $2 and you always get free shipping. If you ever have any problems with any of your batts you can send it back & out comes another batt replacement in your next order for free. I've gone through this process of sending back for a batt. replacement without any serious hassles. The kit comes with 2 batts & in future orders you get another batt for free, so I'm collecting them, nothing wrong with having too many batts, b/c the worst thing is to have a batt lose power when you need it if you know what I mean.
Okay on to the product review.
this product works well, good vapor for me, so many flavor choices. I enjoy the cafe set and my fav is menthol. I never smoked menthols, but it's an intense mint flavor that you feel go down your thoat for pretty good full thoat hit. Not bad, you can feel it nicely almost like a cig, but better b/c you don't smell, you don't ever burn-->no fire, you can take as few or as many drags as desired, and you can do it after a meal indoors or anywhere. Since buying these I don't crave nic any other way, no cigs, no chewing tobacco, no nothing but my ST. Battery life is not really a factor b/c i have enough batts. The only thing is having to charge them is a bit annoying, but hey nothing is perfect.
I told my doc about these...he said you are no longer using tobacco products and that's a good thing, then he went on to say it's a step in the right direciton. You will not be disappointed going for this device. |

So after searching the Internet forever I finally decided on this brand. I loved the free shipping and free batteries with purchase. I've only had it for a couple of days but it is working pretty well. The battery is lasting much longer than I expected. The only thing I don't like is how hard I have to draw on the cigarette to get good vapor. I'm sure it's just a matter of getting used to it. My husband loves it but want to try a stronger flavor. We have the 12mg cowboys. I also like the simplicity of only offering the one kit. The other companies almost had too many to choose from. |

These eCigs are pretty good... at first my wife couldn't stand the Menthol full flavor cause it tastes as though there is Cloves in it, and she HATES cloves, but once you get used to it, you can't tell anymore... and they taste WAY better than the 21st Century we were smoking. Haven't tried all the flavors yet, but so far the Menthol is the best. The cartridges say they are the same size as the 21st Century ones, but run out much faster. Having the choice of flavors and strengths and the better taste makes these eCigs much better and so worth the money. But in the long run I really do feel that they are about the same price as the others out of the store. The free shipping and the lifetime batteries make me feel that the company is a better company than the others I've seen as well.... THANK YOU this ecig! |

This is my first electronic cigarette. It was lost in the mail. Customer service was slow to act and it took several attempts to resolve the matter. I was not overly impressed with it. Mine is noisy when taking a puff... Sounds like a whistle. I wasn't very fond of the taste. I was hoping for more vapor to better simulate smoke. |

Thank you ST and e cigs for the opportunity to use this wonderful product. The last kit that I had one of the batteries stopped charging. I do enjoy the taste of its flavor, however, when the cartridge is almost done it seems to have a burnt taste to it. Also, I wish there was a better way to reach customer service in case of a default with the ST k4t. Over all, I am pretty happy with the cigarette, but I wish I would have sent it back at the 30 day trial so I could find something I better appreciated. I am still having trouble coming off the actual cigarettes.

A friend was using E-cigs and it caught my attention. I have been a social smoker for the last 10 years, but hate the smell & congested feeling from smoking too many cigarettes in one day. My husband quit a few years ago & I guess I am just not ready to quit yet.I really hate smoking around him, because I am sure it is hard to be around the smoke when your not smoking. I've only been using this e-cigarette for a week, but actually prefer it to the real thing now!! Love the comvenience of just changing cartridges when it is empty, battery lasts throught they day & one cartridge lasts me about 4 days! No more stinky clothes or hair & the convenience "smoking" whenever & where ever you want! |

I received my ST Kit and have wonderful things to report. I found it easy to use and quite a nice surprise. The vapor depicts the actual smoking action. I have had no cravings and found it real easy to adapt to. At pennys a cartidge over a price for actual cigaretts it is a great value. Batter life is as noted and my overall experience has been a good one. Thank you ST and e-cigs for the opportunity to use this wonderful product. |

After doing tons of research online, I was very skeptical about using an e-cig. ST was what I decided to give a try. This is the only e-cig I have tried, but am completely satisfied with it. I didn't think it would really compare to a real cigarette, but since getting it, I have not smoked a real cigarette (1 week), and in general, feel 100 times better!! There is a slight trick to it though. When I first used it, I would naturally inhale hard. and it didn't produce a good hit. You have to hit the e-cig slowly and it works GREAT!!!! I'm done with real cigarette's!!! No more ashtry's, smoke, rolling tray's, stink, always looking for a lighter, etc...
This simplifies smoking and seems to have reduced my cravings overall!! Very simple and satisfying!!! |

I had never tried an electronic cigerette before so I decided to do a little reserch on line. this e-cig had a lot of very good reviews, appeared very comprable in price and seemed to have many more flovors of cartriges than a lot of the other websights I had checked out. My order came very quickly which made me quite happy. I was completly surprised to find how closly smoking my ST was to having a real cigerette. The regular flavor was fine. I was also very surprised to find that there was a lot of other flavors that I thourally enjoyed. I have no problem with the amount of vapor. It satisfys that feeling of inhaling. I can not say enouph good things about my new this product. I have tried every quit smoking product and trend out there, and this is the only thing that I have found that satisfys my cravings. I have already recomended it several other people. |

I purchased my ST starter kit about a week ago. I ordered on Saturday, and it arrived on Monday! The quick shipping was very impressive. I have been using my ST set since then, and have cut down from a pack and a half a day to 2 cigarettes a day! I found their "Cowboy" flavor (Marlboro-esque) to be a little sweeter than I really like, but the Coffee flavor is excellent! I like my ST so well, I have recommended to 3 other people so far - one friend tried my e-cig, and ordered her own starter kit today.
I ordered the USB Passthrough accessory, but the one I received didn't work - no problem! Customer service was friendly and helpful, and are sending out a new one tomorrow.
I have no comlaints so far, and will continue to advise smoker friends to try this device! |

I have tried the Blu, Premium, V4L, and V2. This brand has impressed me with battery performance, consistent cartomizer performance, all with free shipping and lifetime battery guarantee. The Blu was just so "not enough", and I never got a response from customer service when contacted. The Premium invested in, only to have the batteries replaced 3 times in 4 months (customer service good; product not so much). I have no complaints about this ecig, and would definitely recommend them. |

I ordered my Starter Kit (this e-cigarette Kit Regular 6mg) at the beginning of October. I received it in a few days (free shipping) and I was positively affected about it.
This was the first e-cigarette I'd ever used, so I had nothing to compare to, but it was as I expected. The box was so elegant.
Immediately I thought that to have two batteries could be so useful, especially if you can charge them everywhere thanks to the USB. The regular flavor wasn't bad, but I needed a couple of days to get use to it. Within three cartridges, unexpectedly I did not feel the need to smoke more and I quit. (Before this e-cig I smoked about 5 cigarettes/day. I was pleasantly surprised to quit without strain, because it was my ultimate goal).
I never used the customer service, so I can't review it. |

I didn't know anything about the electronic cigarette and wanted to try it. I hated smelling like tobacco and it was stinking up my apartment building. So I went online and did some research and found that this product had the best reviews. I bought a kit and tried it and was so amazed!!!! I wish I discovered this earlier. Now I can smoke in front of my brother's new born kid without having to leave the room! I don't stink up the building anymore and I don't have to look for a lighter anymore. I love it. No more smoking all those harsh chemicals that are in cigarettes....like carpet glue! I hope i get to fully quit soon but, like i said, i was amazed and fully satisfied with my purchase from ST!!!! |

I received my ST within a few days (not bad at holiday shipping time)and have so far been pleased. Batteries were charged, as promised. The regular flavor isn't bad, the almond flavor is good, but the clove flavor is definitely my favorite! Vapor is adequate, but I think I should have ordered the 16mg cartridges, instead of the 12mg, and cut back later. This is the first e-cigarette I've used, so have nothing to compare to, but I would definitely recommend this device to anyone trying to quit smoking. I haven't had the need to contact customer service yet, but communication has been good with regard to my purchase. |

Received my order last week and I can say that I am very pleased with the order. I ordered other ecigaretes (sorry don't want to bash on them) they were great until I didn't get this brand. Vapor is better, quality of battery is much better and longer... and on top of that all they have Cowboy flavor! Cowboy flavor is somewhat close to real deal (m...) has more of a sweet taste/feel m... anyway am glad I went with this ecig this time. This is my 4th week w.o any real cigarettes.. tried chantix,gum and patches nothing outperformed the ecig... I guess I have more of a habit holding cigarette than nicotine addiction... |

This is my first e-cig and I have to say that I am so happy I tried it! Not only is it less expensive than traditional smokes but it is better for you and you can use it almost anywhere. I bought the ST because of all the wonderful reviews, lifetime warranty, free shipping and the website was so much easier to understand than other brands. I have a back up pack of Marlboro Ultra Lights but since I got my ST I haven't been tempted to light even one. It does take a little bit of getting used to but now I prefer the taste over traditional smokes. The tobacco flavor has a sweet taste to it. I also ordered the Marlboros but have yet to receive them. All I can say is don't hesitate to order from ST, you won't be disappointed! You will save a lot of money and feel a lot better!!!! |

I started by doing a lot of research into online Electronic Cigarette Makers & Sellers. ST stood out to me because of their 'Bare Bones'& 'Plain English' way of marketing their product. Their Website was easy to use & comprehend. Not too much there to confuse or mislead people into oblivion. Their 30 Day Money Back Guarantee along with their Life Time Warranty (on batteries) also made it appealing. Their two piece (cartomizer & battery) design was also something I was looking for. Pre-filled & no mess or hassle for a first time user. The price of $59.95 was also right down my alley as far as being what I was willing to spend to give their product a try. I think, a -great deal- for a package that gives you all you need to get started. The two batteries was also an incentive along with the USB adapter. They even chipped in an extra cartomizer for a total of 7 cartridges to start me off. The shipping was fast! Three Days! & after trying their product, I couldn't be happier so far. The throat hit is nice (a little sweeter than my regular brand & not as harsh), so it will take a little getting use to. But over all, it is very much like a real cigarette. I can see myself smoking nothing but these soon. Everything seems solidly built & am happy with my choice. But the thing that sold me the most on their brand, was their cartridge prices. Ten cartridges for $19.95 (each cartridge equalling 1.25 packs of cigarettes) made it easy for me to compare mine to theirs. Unlike others who make claims of more & offer half the cartridges, at 5 per count, for around the same price. And...they also offer a deal of $2.00 off each order, when ordering 3 or more packs of 10. Made it easy to see the realistic savings I would reap, up front. So, in short, I look forward to ordering their USB Passthrough & having a long, long relationship with their company. They deliver a solid, fair priced product, that is easy to use & should help me get rid of my old habit - very quickly.

I must say,that so far,I am very pleased with my new this product E-Cig.I ordered the starter kit,and within 3 days,it was in my mailbox.They advertise that both batteries come charged out of the box,but I had to charge the second battery because it was dead,but this was no big deal.I selected the 16MG regular flavor,and it tastes very smooth and has a slight sweet background flavor.The vapor this E-Cig provides is pretty decent,although I cant speak for other brands,this is my first E-Cig I have ever purchased.I smoked analogs for about 7 years and I quit smoking 6 months ago,but I terribly missed having my morning and after-supper cigarette,so I chose to try an E-Cig rather than go back to regular smelly cigarettes,since I refuse to smoke those anymore.The battery life seems decent to me,I can smoke on and off all day on a single charge.The cartridges last me about two days each.I will try other flavors,but for now,I'll stick with the regular flavor.I got my kit on a discount special for $39.99 and free shipping,and I cant be more happy over that,its a very good price for what you get.Even the original $59 price is good compared to other brands of E-Cigs I was considering (spending $100 and up is common).Anyway,I am very happy with my ST,and I enjoy the fact that I can now have my relaxing cigarette,minus all the chemicals,tar,secondhand smoke,smell,ashes,ect.I'm also pleased with their lifetime warranty on their batteries,with a free replacement if the battery quits or dies,no other brand can offer this kind of warranty,not that I know of.I cant rate their customer service,since I have not had to contact them yet,and hopefully,I wont have too.I very much recommend this E-Cig to anyone wanting a cheaper,and safe way to smoke,or should I say ''Vape''.I'm very happy.

Shipping was very fast. I mean VERY fast, 3 days to get here. Batteries come ALREADY charged? That was a BIG plus. Could produce more vapor but not terribly bad. Battery life is a HUGE improvement over blu cig's batteries. I would say if you could combine blu Cig's amount of vapor with this device's battery life, you would have a PERFECT product! Overall, not too bad. Not too bad. I really enjoy my ST. After I try some of their other flavors, they just may have made a new customer out of me. Very satisfied so far this first week. Thanks a bunch this brand! Lets hope our relationship stays strong as ur product is (in case someone from their is reading. xP ) |

I ordered during the $20 off sale and was able to get my kit for $39.95. Super fast shipping. Great deal. After using the smoke for about 2 weeks I am very satisfied. They claim that 1 cartridge is 1.25 packs of cigs but I am not too sure about that. The cartridge seems to go dry before that but maybe I am smoking it more than I think. Vapor is pretty good. My buddies eGoT (or something like that) puts out more vapor but the ST is much more convenient. Overall I would recommend this smoke, especially if you can get it for $20 off. |

After doing hours of research and deciding between PG and VG, i decided to pull the trigger on ST. I was looking at Safe Cig initially b/c a friend was using it, but after reading reviews about their poor customer service, i moved on. Then, i was looking at ProSmoke and was about to buy that product, but then i read that VG, when heated beyond 280C, it turns into acrolein. Also, PG used in e-cigs is of food-grade quality and commonly used in inhalers and is deemed FDA-safe. So, i decided to take another look at e-cigs that use PG. Plus, i also like a good throat hit and i've read that VG doesnt provide as good a throat hit as PG. Therefore, i looked at others and compared them to ProSmoke. So, i looked at this ecig based on the fact that it got the most reviews on here and that they were mostly positive. The icing on the cake for me with this e-cigarette was two-fold: its lifetime warranty as opposed to ProSmoke's 1-year warranty; and this e-cig's battery uses the KR808D-1 model, which is a highly regarded model for vaping and it also means you dont necessarily have to buy cartomizers from ST, but rather you can go online and just search for cartomizers that fit the KR808D-1 model. B/c of these reasons, i chose this product. However, ProSmoke might possibly use the same model, but i dont know.
I ordered the starter kit for $59.95. Delivery was very fast. The batteries came charged right out of the box. After connecting the cartomizer to the battery, the weight is a little heavier than a cigarette. Its about 1/4 longer and slightly bigger in diameter than a cigarette. The throat hit is that of a Camel light and the vapor is a little less than a cigarette. The key to using it is to take slow drags, not fast drags like you would on a cigarette. If you keep this in mind, then each drag is adequate. I havent felt the need to smoke a cigarette since.
In conclusion, i would recommend this device to anyone looking for an alternative to cigarettes.

My smoking experience with ST so far has been excellent. I recieved my starter kits for me and my fiance within 3 days. They were fully charged when we got them and was able to start vaporing right away. I am a menthol smoker and she is a regular. The price is great and so is their products. The menthol is smooth like a Salem. I liked the cherry flavor and can't wait to try the other flavors. She said she really likes the coffee flavor. I work twelve hour shifts and the battery last the whole day before I had to switch. That is awesome. The cartridge lasted the whole day and half of the morning the next day. Just puff a few times here and there is doing the job instead of trying to smoke an actual cigarette. ST may have been lower on the list of reviews but after researching many websites about all the different e-cigs, I decided to go with ST and very glad I did. The battery and cartridges last a very long time. There is a lot of vapor that is produced and I am able to blow smoke rings and such just like real smoke. I have not had to contact Customer Service yet but I am sure they will do really good so I am giving them full rating also. |

I haven't used the kit very long, but I have no complaints as of yet. The taste is better than any regular cigarette I've tried. I went with the light cartridges (12 mg) which to me seems pretty strong still. And the drag is pretty easy. I received the order within 2 days of placing it.
The first brand I tried was the 'Smoking everywhere,' wasting over $100 to find out it's a huge scam. After that I didn't place much hope in the electronic concept. The thought of feeling super light-headed again after each inhale wasn't all that appealing.
But after a lot of homework, I'm glad I gave this one a chance and would def. recommend it. |
