South Beach Smoke
Quick summary: South Beach Smoke is solidly in the competition for best electronic cigarette, and lands in our top three for its nice taste, good throat hit and strong electronics. There’s a good reason so many celebrities use them.
We first became aware of South Beach Smoke through the media, with a number of celebrities using them to vape. But when we got a chance to test their e-cigarette, we put aside the “hype” and were definitely impressed by the product, which has become one of our personal favorites.
The taste of South Beach was the first thing we noticed; it was one of the most pleasant tasting e-cigs we’ve tested, with the menthol, vanilla and peach particularly standing out. There was also a nice balance between smoothness and throat hit; the hit is noticeable but not overly strong. The vapor cloud wasn’t the biggest we’ve experienced, but it was close to the other top electronic cigarette brands we’ve reviewed. Cartridges come in ten flavors: three tobacco, menthol, peppermint, chocolate, vanilla, cherry, pina colada and peach. There are five nicotine strengths: strong (24mg), full (16mg), light (12mg), ultra light (6 mg) and no nicotine. All eliquid is made in the USA, unusual among the brands we’ve tested.
We tested the deluxe ultimate starter kit, which came with just about everything you would need for a great vaping experience: one standard battery and one longer extra-capacity battery, a USB charger, wall charger (not just an adapter, a full charger which was nice), a car adapter, a carrying case, a charging case to re-charge batteries while away from power sources, and 15 cartridges. It’s the most complete kit we’ve seen. There are several lower-level, less expensive kits available as well. Both battery and cartridge life were right around average, with charging time a little better than most. The e-cigarette is solid and well-built, right up there with our other best electronic cigarettes.
South Beach Smoke also has an optional auto-delivery program, so that you don’t have to worry about reordering every time you run low on cartridges; it’s not for everyone but we think it’s a nice choice for regular vapers who don’t want to accidentally run out. There’s a lifetime warranty as well.
South Beach narrowly missed out on our top ranking because we personally prefer a stronger throat hit, but it’s an excellent e-cigarette well worth trying.

Why do I love south beach smokes e-cigs? Because of the total control. I feel like I am able to control everything and not have the cigarette company do it for me.
I choose what I want for everything and the rest is up to me. They are a great deal also- huge savings and its less than $2 per cartridge- which definitely run longer than a pack of cigarettes was running me… also the way i just have as many puffs as I want is what smokers have always wanted- no waste. These are amazing, so glad I got them!
Great starter kits, all around great products!!!! I love how the starter kits mostly all come with 2 batteries, i really think you need a few of them to comfortably vape wherever/ whenever. I like the manual batteries more and they don’t last as long as the automatics, so its great for me to have more than one to use when one is charging, or dies out. I am a very heavy user too so this is just the system that works for me. I have to say- these are a great option for smokers to use as an alternative. I have felt much healthier and cleaner since I started using them a while back and they sure beat all the hangups i was dealing with when using cigarettes. the nonstop butts and ash and worrying if i smell is nice to not live with!
My first time using South Beach Smoke e-cigarettes was a total WOW!!! Experience. My friend was using her’s, and I was still smoking cigarettes and she asked me if I wanted to try… so I did, not even thinking much about it and was blown away. This thing is not a real cigarette but felt and tasted that good… I had to get a kit for myself. So i did, and ahve been vaping and not smoking ever since. how cool is that??? Your products have really had an impact on me, you really get it what smokers want!
I knew these were great from the moment I started using them and now almost a year later I’m still on a roll. What I like a lot is the great nocotine combination with the flavor. I started on the full flavored carts and then lowered it down to 12mg and then 6mg, great to be on the lowest one within such a short space of time, considering I was a smoker for over 10 years. Everything is good with these guys, never had an issues!! Josh
Awesome- south beach smoke, love the service and they have no problem taking care of my needs! I don’t want to sound like a brat but I expect a lot from a company I buy from and working with SBS over the phone – asking specific questions I know what I want they have always been excellent I am really satisfied with these e-cigs and the level of customer service!! Keep it up!!
Hits like a champ and tastes amazing! That’s how I feel about using South beach Smoke! These starter kits are such a buy for the money. I am really glad I got mine when I did (the Deluxe Ultimate) because it has lasted me a long time, and it was just a great investment. They always make things affordable, and they often run promos like free shipping, great discounts, and if you like them on facebook you can get even more savings b/c they have flash sales on there. Very worthwhile to be a customer, and I highly recommend them to all the smokers in my life!
I like looking through an article that can make people think.
Also, thanks for allowing me to comment!
There are e-cigarettes and then there’s SouthBeach Smoke. This has to be one of the more popular smoke alternatives, and I can say they definitely lighten up my stress levels. These products have great price points and I highly suggest home delivery/lifetime warranty option. My only suggestion would be to ease up on the price of shipping. Figure a better shipping method and they will come – in droves!
All aorund awesome company. Been around a long time too so you know they are good! Not just great e-cigs but the service is what makes them. They really go above and beyond to make their customers happy. The reps on the phone are super helpful and super nice! They really want you to be happy, and if you arent they will do EVERYTHING possible that they can to help. They believe in their product and it shows. I am really pleased with the products and really happy that they are committed to making them great. I will say it: to me these are a cure for smoking and i would not use any other brand. Totally satisfied.
FLAVOR. That’s what you buy south beach smoke for. They taste just like regular cigarettes when it comes to their “”typical”" flavors. The way the e-cigarettes work is always a pleasure. The pieces work together really nicely. On occasion I’ve had to deal with a back order, but I deal. Products are awesome. I don’t think the e-cigs work exactly like cigarettes, but the vapor and flavor are close enough. Good company, i am hap with them!
My thoughts on south beach smoke: i feel so so so good! it might seem crazy but my skin was lookin better in no time. i really feel healthier too! they make this so simple and nice to be able to transition to when you stop smoking cigarettes. i’m happy with their overall selection and the all of the things i have tried. batter and cartridges are awesome, best thing of all is the charger case, awesome in every way to use when i’m busy. i love the overall freedome w/ the products but i really love how free i am wiht the PCC. Love South Beach Smoke!
What a relief to have these. One of the few things that really does work as expected. Its been amazing to have these for quitting smoking as backup. the nicotine is just what a smoker wants. i have really been happy to still have that same tobaco taste and the good vapor, and the nicotine. If you are thinking about quitting smoking, you will really not regret getting a starter kit from SBS.
WOW- if these were around 10 years ago… that’s how long ive been trying to quit smoking. I highly recommend South Beach Smoke for e-cigs and accessories. Everything I wanted I got. Best decision ever was getting these. Gentle and easy to use, and they make quitting cigarettes really more doable. A little pricey in the beginning but it all evens out and comes out cheaper in the end. Fantastic vapor that feels like smoke. great flavors, love the menthol. love how they perform and they are super convenient. Its so nice using them indoors too, so when the weather is bad or cold, i dont have to head out. These have made my life so much easier.
I visited my cousin in Austin, TX recently and she is an e-smoker who uses your products. I am a smoker but got really interested in the vapor cigarettes after I saw her using them, and she told me all about how it works, and how it feels. I tried them and loved them! Felt so much like cigarettes and i liked all of the little conveniences and the way you can use them anywhere. I was pretty stoked and ordered one of your e-cigarette kits, the Ultimate one because I knew I was going to need a few different chargers and I am so glad I have more than one battery. and when I got home, less than a week later, it arrived. I have been using the e-cigs only since it came and I haven’t had any need to go back to cigarettes- ITS WORKING! My cuz was really onto something, and I couldnt be happier! Thanks!!!
Definitely found what I needed in an e-cigarette brand. Love the different extras they offer like the auto delivery- its like auto bill pay + benefits and savings. i wish i could get 20% off all my bills by being signed up to autopay, that’s for sure! Great ecigs though.
This is the only brand of electronic cigarettes I trust. The level of quality is all there, top of the line. I have not had any problems during my time with them and I am overall always happy. Very happy prices are not crazy. I like all of the flavors I have tried but stick to the tobacco blue most of the time. This wasnt my first try with an e-cig brand so i know what i want…too many bad experiences before. Glad to be with South Beach Smoke.
South Beach Smoke e-cigarettes WORK! I am very, very, very pleased to have tried them after being referred by a friend of a friend. Really the best way I think for a smoker to stop smoking is use these to transition. It was a really nice surprise to find out how well they work, because I was really not so sure about them when I first heard of them, and even after I placed my order I wondered if they would really work. I was happy to see that the purchase was very well worth it, and I will be placing another order soon for more cartridges! And i will be signing up for the delivery- they offer amazing deals on everything!
SBS is AWESOME! The customer service is phenom! They are so helpful with everything, and they are actually happy to answer questions. And I love how they reward you for referring people- Ive referred 4 friends and have earned $100 in gift certificates! They also do a lot to keep you happy- love being on the home delivery- 20% off all cartridges is a sick deal monthly. I have been very happy using the products and have not had any issues. Shipping goes right on schedule most of the time also. For anyone who wants alternative cigarettes for a good price with great quality, I recommend SBS!
One thing I really like about South Beach over all other ecigs, their carts really hold flavor longer than anyone else. Lots of other ecigs seem to fade as you go through the cycle. I think I read it’s because South Beach uses 4 holes to draw air and it keeps it cooler. This is great!! Super throat hit with the tobacco flavors too! If you go with Vanilla or Chocolate you’ll get a little easier hit.
While high closing costs could be higher, an agent has a good chance of finding rates which
are lower than those that clients get from banks. I have foreclosed soon to take
place in my first mortgage. They make research, see the nature of leading lenders available in the market, compare a person’s eye rates after which match such options using the client’s specific needs related
to refinance, renewal, purchase, real estate property investments, debt consolidation and much more.
