Green Smoke
Quick summary: The powerful throat hit and big smoke clouds brought Green Smoke right to the top of our rankings; they’re our best e-cig for menthol smokers and right near the top of the list for everyone else looking to buy electronic cigarettes. And they’ve just announced big price cuts on kits and batteries.
Attention, menthol smokers. Green Smoke is an e-cigarette made just for you. Actually, there are a number of great flavors of Green Smoke that will appeal to just about everyone, but their “menthol ice” flavor is what really appealed to us – a strong menthol taste somewhere between Newport and Kool. Their other flavors are also very good: Red Label (thick and satisfying, close to the taste of a Marlboro Red), Tobacco Gold (a rich, sweet mixture of flavors), and Absolute Tobacco (almost like a pipe tobacco). They also have three “novelty” flavors: Smooth Chocolate, Mocha Mist, and Vanilla Dreams.
We tested the Green Smoke pro kit which came with two white batteries, one long and one short, which screw into the “cartomizer” (the cartridge that creates the vapor) in their two-part design. It also had a wall charger, a car adapter and a USB cigarette; that allowed us to smoke one while charging the other, or smoke whenever we wanted at our desk with the USB cigarette connected to our computer. The charges lasted the equivalent of about a pack, and the cartridges lasted a little longer than some of the competition, between a pack and a pack-and-a-half worth of smoking time. The wall charger was of a more convenient design than some of the others we’ve tested, a definitely plus.
Green Smoke produced a strong hit and huge smoke clouds, at or near the top of the list of the e-cigarettes we’ve reviewed. The exhales definitely passed our “smoke ring” test. They also have the strongest nicotine cartridges we’ve seen, ranging all the way up to 24mg. (There are also full flavor, light, ultra-light and zero nicotine levels available.)
We liked the design of Green Smoke models, with a two-piece design; they actually pioneered the simpler approach which eliminated the need for messy mixing and refilling with e-liquid, and in our opinion, it’s the only way to “vape.” There is a shut-off safety feature, limiting your inhales to about five seconds, but that’s probably more than enough for most people.
They’ve also now released eight designer batteries, made to “match” the colors of the various cart flavors. For example, there’s a cool blue swirl to match the blue menthol ice cartomizer, a paisley pattern to match red label, a brown travel motif to match chocolate, and so on. It’s a nice way to make a fashion statement when you’re vaping.
We felt that like the other top-rated brands on the market, GreenSmoke e-cigs look, taste, and feel almost exactly like a real cigarette with a strong, deep sensations on inhalation, a tip that glows bright when inhaling, and the huge clouds on exhaling. The price per cartomizer is lower than much of the competition, as well, making them a very good value. The strength, menthol and big smoke clouds pulled Green Smoke just about even at the top of our ratings, and made them our definite choice for menthol smokers.
——————————–
Update 12/27: Green Smoke has just cut the price of their starter kits by about $30 apiece, the price of their batteries by about $10 apiece, and added a carrying kit standard to all kits. We believe that makes a great product even better.
PRICE: Starter kits from $59.97-169.97. (Note: price comparisons are difficult because each company includes different products in their kits.) Use the code “disc10-26721” for a 10% discount on all Green Smoke purchases over $100, or “disc5-26721″ for a 5% discount on purchases under $100. (Note: the availability of discount codes for our visitors has no effect, pro or con, on our reviews.)

Green Smoke is the best e-cig available!!
I received my order yesterday. Great product. I’m enjoying it too much though and this is turning into some kind of a problem, because I just can’t stop vaping the stuff. I’ve become like a crack addict. I’ve got the hoopa pipe thingy stuck to my PC and the mouthpiece jammed permanently into my mouth.
Not good.
Green smokes are good, tasty and the make lots of vapor, but honestly a little bit overpriced compared to other brands that are just as good like V2 cigs.
I originally wrote this review as a reply to a very rude comment made by a supposed V2 employee. After over a year smoking Green Smoke I can confidently say that I have no real need to look any further. Thank you Green smoke for your quality and great customer service.
Rachael from V2 might want to start looking for new employment because in today’s environment any company with V2′s apparent attitude do not last long no matter how good their product may be. If you read back through the reviews they did say that a very small margin separated the top few products tested. I have been smoking Green Smoke for over a year now and have nothing bad to say about them. Every order I have made has been delivered quick and accurate. The product is very very good in my opinion and they continue to add new flavors. If you don’t already know this, there are 2 main types of liquid used – one has a tendency to give a stronger ‘throat hit’ and the other tends to make more smoke. The thing that makes Green Smoke superior to me is I believe they use a combination of both as I’ll assume V2 does. I found this info when I was researching the possibility of buying liquid to refill my cartridges. Eventually I may start doing that, but until then I’ll definitely stick with Green Smoke. In case you’re wondering why I wrote this in a V2 thread it’s because I was reading reviews to see if anyone had developed something vastly superior to Green Smoke with a great price. I’m satisfied that hasn’t happened – conversely, Green Smoke just gets better and offers upgraded products and special deals that can vary from month to month. With Green Smoke’s help I have left a 35 year old 2 pack a day Marlboro habit behind and it only took 3 months to make the complete switch. If you are seriously in the market to give e-cigarettes a try do yourself a favor and try green smoke but do not expect the e-cig to be exactly the same as a normal cig and don’t expect it to be completely satisfactory at first. Even though you are getting the nicotine, your body still has to go through a detox of sorts – getting rid of other things in cigarette smoke like tar, etc. Once those things finally get out of your system the e-cigs really start to be completely satisfactory. I had to slowly cut back on regular smokes while smoking e-cigs. It has been so worth it that I can hardly explain. These cost far less and are so less harmful to your health plus they don’t smell and you don’t have to worry about burning anything. enjoy.
I bought Green Smoke because I was dissatisfied with another company. When I “lit up” for the first time, I was very pleased with the taste, the throat hit, the amount of vapor–very satisfying. But I wish the cartomizers lasted longer. definitely not equal to a pack and a half. I go through one each day. Before I started vaping at all, I was less than a half-pack-a-day smoker. True, I’m no longer wheezing and coughing and smelling like an ash tray; but the green smokes aren’t saving me money, which, based on the advertising and the comments, I felt sure I would. I wish I could say I’m satisfied, but, because the cartomizers deplete so quickly, I’m not. Wah!
I am not pleased with Green Smoke at all, I ordered the starter pack the company told me my order was on the way that was a Friday come Sunday i received a e- mail saying my order was being held till i sent a copy of my ID. This was after they had taken my money! So all you happy people should feel lucky you even received your e- cigs. I will never do business with them ever. its hard enough trying too quit smoking too deal with this too!
