Features to Evaluate when Buying an Electronic Cigarette
What is the best electronic cigarette? The fact is that most e-cigarette models basically work the same way. In a nutshell, a battery powers an atomizer which vaporizes a nicotine/water solution that is inhaled by the user. The main differences are in overall quality/dependability as well as special/extra features that may appeal to you depending on your personality and needs.
Brand Personality / Look
The different brands have different personalities. Most manufacturers make their e-cigarettes look like a real cigarette. The cartridge is brown to look like a filter, the battery is made to look like the 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, vape in South Beach style or be 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.
Batteries
No matter what brand's starter kit you buy please make sure that it comes with two batteries. You need at least two batteries so one can charge while the other one is in use. For those who vape ecigs while working at the computer a direct USB power supply is an option. This way you won't have any battery issues.
Blue, Red/Orange 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 simple fact is that electronic cigarettes do attract questions from other smokers.
When you e-smoke in public outside a bar, a 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 and may get you in trouble :) 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 (also known as cartomizer). A 3 piece electronic cigarette consists of the battery piece, an atomizer and a cartridge.
| 2 piece |
3 piece |
- Each cartridge/cartomizer 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.
- Recommended to those who want to refill cartridges.

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. Expert vapors start with a short puff to heat up the atomizer followed by a longer drag.
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 or consider refilling cartridges with smoke juice having your flavor.
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 long 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.
