Quick summary: EverSmoke is one of the newest e-cigs on the market, and we found the hit to be the among the smoothest of the electronic cigarettes we’ve reviewed; they also have one of the most convenient options available, automatic home delivery of your orders so you don’t run out.

When it comes to e-cigs, a lot of attention is rightfully paid to the power of the throat hit. But we’ve often wondered “what about smokers who look for a smoother taste and feel?” We’ve found the answer in EverSmoke. The draw on an EverSmoke isn’t quite as powerful as some of the other brands we’ve tried; but the vapor goes down easily, with vapor clouds almost equivalent to our top-rated options.

There are other things to like about EverSmoke as well. Their batteries are among the long-lasting that we’ve tested (there are three options: standard, long (high-capacity) and mini (smaller than usual but good for nights out) – you can order each in either automatic or manual. We also liked their personal charging case, the size of a pack of cigarettes, that lets you charge your mini batteries while you’re on the go. Read more…

Quick Summary: Real Electronic offers a solid two-piece e-cigarette with good taste and smooth draw; there are two different product lines depending on your preferences for options and price.

Real Electronic Cigarettes has something for just about everyone, with two different lines of standard electronic cigarettes plus high-quality three-piece ecigs and tank kits. We liked their flavor and vapor feel.

Their top-of-the-line brand is the Duo Pro, which is available in several different kits as well as individual components. There are many options here, with seven flavors (tobacco, menthol, cherry, chocolate, Cuban cigar, vanilla and coffee) and four different levels of nicotine from full flavor to zero nicotine. There are also four different color batteries available, and kits come with a charger pack and car charger. Real Electronic also offers a smaller economy kit called the SmokePass, which comes with two batteries, five carts and a standard charger at a much lower price. Read more…

Quick summary: A technically sound e-cigarette that is middle-of-the-road in terms of price and vaping experience, with a large selection of flavors.

Ozone Smoke is a solid electronic cigarette, with a nice feel to it. The draw is similar to some of our highest-rated e-cigs; we found the vapor clouds and throat hit to be in the middle of the range of products we’ve sampled – not extraordinary, but not lacking either.

We tested the premium starter kit, which comes with two batteries, USB charger and wall adapter, and a variety pack of six cartridges in a nice box. The product worked well, with no vapor leakage, and the batteries and carts each lasted a little longer than a pack of regular cigarettes. Charging time for the batteries was a little above average. Higher-level kits come with a carrying case (or a case with a USB charger, depending on the kit you order), a car charger and more cartridges. Read more…

Quick summary: Bedford Slims Vapourettes are a decent middle-of-the road e-cigarette, but without some of the features we look for in an electronic cigarette. They’re also not slim. They do offer an option to start with their system very inexpensively, however.

When we agreed to review Bedford Slims Vapourettes, we expected to receive one of the first slim and stylish e-cigs we’d ever seen. What arrived, however, was a typical electronic cigarette: it was indeed stylish, with a black pattern design on the battery and all-black cartridge – but the diameter is the same as a standard e-cigarette. We believe the design would definitely appeal more to women, but not to those in search of a “Virginia Slims” look.

The draw on a Bedford Slim was fine, with a mild throat hit and decent vapor clouds on the exhale. There’s a slight noise on the inhale, which the company tells us is designed to simulate the sound of crackling tobacco. One thing we did like was the unique packaging of the cartridges, which come in sealed cellophane; there’s no question it keeps the carts fresh, as the aroma was immediately noticeable when we opened the cellophane – even moreso than with more common blisterpack packaging.

Quick summary: In a nutshell, Frii is simple, efficient and satisfying. A good combination – a solid choice for those who are looking for an e-cig with nicotine.

Simplicity, efficiency and price are the reasons we look favorably on this product. Frii has no hazardous chemicals, and literally allows you to control how much nicotine you’re taking in.  No tar, no carbon-dioxide. Whether you’re trying to kick the habit, or you’re not ready to “give in” to smoking restrictions, Frii will accommodate you.

The charge duration of Frii’s lithium ion batteries is one reason for our endorsement. One e-cig charge will probably last as long as a whole pack of traditional cigarettes.  Recharging the batteries powering the e-cigarette, is also a simple process.  The Frii kit includes both an AC power adapter, and a USB power adapter, so you can either plug it into the wall, or plug it into a computer and you’ll quickly be ready to smoke again.  Read more…

Quick summary: Their long-lasting cartomizer (atomizer) is one of the best values that we’ve found, and that makes them worth a look for those looking purely for nicotine-free e-cigarettes.

Smoke Assist products contain only water, propylene glycol, and a scent that imitates tobacco flavor. No tobacco, no tar, and unlike most of the competition, no nicotine. They’ve been toxicologically tested and contains no known ingredients considered to be cancer-causing agents.

One important thing to know, is that Smoke Assist offers a free electronic cigarette – an offer you can only get by going through their website. You must, of course, order a starter kit in order to get the free cigarette. Read more…

Quick summary: Our panel split on Victory Electronic Cigarettes; some liking the taste and others thinking it was merely acceptable. What they agreed on was that the AC adapter didn’t work well, requiring the ecig to be charged by USB. Choices and options are also limited.

Victory Electronic is one of those brands that we found to be “just OK.” It gets the job done at a reasonable price, but nothing really stood out to our panel. Battery and cartridge life seemed to be about average, a couple of our tasters liked the tobacco flavor but otherwise feelings were that the taste wasn’t memorable.

We tested the “full” starter kit, which comes with one battery, five cartridges, a USB charger, a wall adapter and a car charger in an attractive box. There’s also a “mega” kit available, with two batteries, 15 cartridges, and some other accessories. The main impression we came away with, was that the wall adapter didn’t fit snugly into any of the plugs we tried, meaning that it tilted away from the power and didn’t recharge the battery. We had to use the USB charger with a computer in order to get the job done. Read more…

Quick summary: we see this as the equivalent of generic cigarettes – but with a very nice offer for a free e-cigarette when you buy the cartridges.

EZ Smoker is another one of those e-cigarettes that hits you over the head with a great introductory offer for a solid product.

The e-cig is a two-component device, with two flavors available – tobacco and menthol. It also comes in one variety: no nicotine. The vapor cloud isn’t the biggest nor the smallest you’ll find, and the inhale isn’t the harshest or the smoothest available. That makes it a technologically sound, no-frills, option for those looking for an e-cigarette without all of the bells and whistles, and without any of the nicotine. EZ Smoker looks very much like a traditional cigarette, with a brown filter and red LED tip; their cartridges last for the equivalent of a pack-and-a-half of cigarettes, right around the mid-range of the brands we’ve reviewed. Again, sound and no frills.

That brings us to the strongest argument for EZ Smoker: their introductory offer.  Read more…
