Electronic Cigarette Buying Guide / Comparison

Brand Personality / Look
The different brands have different personalities. Most manufacturers make their ecigarettes to look like a real cigarette. The cartridge is brown to look like a filter, the battery is made to look like main body of a tobacco cigarette and the end will even glow red when you inhale to add to a realistic smoking experience.
For smokers who are looking to express their individuality a bit more, you can choose from a variety of colors or exotic designs. Find the one that fits you the best. Do you rather green-smoke or blu-smoke? Do you want to be the Vapor King, be on Cloud 9 or on the Safe Cig side?

30 Day Money Back Guarantee
If you are unsure about your switch to electronic cigarettes and you don’t want to commit, then an electronic cigarette from a brand that offers a money back guarantee is probably a good choice.

Blue, Red or Green LED
Why does the color matter? The red LED makes the e-cig look more like a traditional cigarette - that brings pros and cons. A fact is that electronic cigarettes do attract questions from other smokers.
When you e-smoke in public outside a bar, restaurant, or the office then you will get less smokers asking you questions if you smoke an ecig with a red LED. But if you are very social and enjoy meeting people and/or you don’t mind talking to strangers then an e-cigarette with a blue or green LED could be right for you.
If you decide to e-smoke inside a public place (your choice – we do not encourage you) then the e-cigarette with the blue or green LED will get you less trouble because it alleviates concerns onlookers may have. The e-cig with the red LED looks more like a tobacco cigarette while you inhale. It is your choice.

2 or 3 Piece e-Cigarette
A 2 piece e-cigarette consists of the battery piece and a cartridge. In this case the atomizer is contained within the cartridge. A 3 piece electronic cigarette consists of the the battery piece, an atomizer and a cartridge.

2 piece	3 piece
Each cartridge comes with a fresh and clean atomizer built in. No worries about cleanliness or atomizer performance decrease over time. No need to ever buy a new atomizer.	Atomizer is of better quality and comes with warranty. Refill cartridges are cheaper (some by more than 50%). New atomizer costs about $10. So you could get a new atomizer with every 10 cartridges and still save money. Blu ecig atomizer claims to be self-cleaning.

Refill e-Cigarette Cartridges
You can buy smoke juice and refill cartridges to save money. If you plan to refill cartridges then we recommend a 3 piece electronic cigarette. Atomizers from 2 piece electronic cigarettes are not built to last.

Vapor Volume
How much vapor you're able to get on one puff is a big deal for many smokers. Generally speaking, more volume equals a more satisfactory and realistic smoking experience.

Flavors
Electronic cigarettes cartridges come in a wide variety of flavors. All brands have tobacco and menthol flavored cartridges. If you are into a very specific flavor then pick your brand accordingly.

The Price Tag
Prices for electronic cigarette starter kits range from about $60 to over $200. But the starter kit only determines your initial cost. After a while you will have to buy refill cartridges. Here you need to look at the cost per cartridge but also understand for how ling a cartridge lasts. The different brands compare their cartridges to a number of traditional cigarettes or packs. For example, if one cartridge compares to a traditional pack, then this cartridge provides as many smokes as a traditional pack would have.
