My Electronic Cigarette Reviews

So is the electronic cigarette easy to use?  Is it as simple as lighting up a cigarette?  The electronic cigarette is easy to use, but for sure it is not as simple as lighting up a cigarette. It will take more of your time, but to me it is worth it.   In the beginning you might end up somewhat messy just trying to fill up e juice on your cartomizer or cartridge.  You will get e juice all over your hands.  Sometimes your cartomizer or atomizer even leaks and it still happens once in awhile for me.  But as you learn things, it will become easier, and you will get into a habit of doing it.

Is there any smell?  There is still some kind of smell, but at least it is not the burning of tar and tobacco.  It is the smell of the E juice.  In most case they are pleasant, but not for all people and depending on the flavor you are vaping.  I'm still using some tobacco flavor E juice, they do not smell like tobacco and tar, but they smell like chocolate.  Sometimes the smell can be so strong that it kind of bothers you.  I was once in a car, windows all closed, my boyfriend was vaping a tobacco flavor E juice.  The chocolate smell was so strong that it kind of bother me.  It all depends on the flavor and where you purchase the E juice.  Every flavor is different and it is subjective.  I heard how some people love cheesecake flavor and they said how nice it smell.  I tried it and it was not vapable for me.  But for sure I don't smell like a stinky ash tray anymore.  My niece comes hugging me without squeezing her nose.  So each person is different. 

Can you really quit smoking cigarettes?  I have smoke a pack a day of Marlboro Lights for a little over 15 years before I made the switch to electronic cigarettes.  It took me about 1/2 year before I totally quit my smoking habit.  There are some people who still cannot quit after a whole year, yet there are some that quit after the first day.  My boyfriend for example, he does not intend to quit smoking, but he is not allow to smoke cigarettes at work.  He uses the electronic cigarettes at work to help with his cravings.  It is also a lot better than standing outside in the cold winter months.

Does it cost a lot of money to start?  I would say you can buy a very decent starter kit and some juice with some stuff for about $100 or less.  Depending on what you are looking for.    In the beginning I had purchased 2 sets of Joye 510 electronic cigarettes on 2011 New Year for my boyfriend and me.  The first month I had spend about $400 (boyfriend and me) on electronic cigarettes products.  But as time went by you would be spending less than if you were buying cigarettes unless you are the type that loves to shop and try new stuff.  Once you are settle with what you want and need, you would not be spending as much.

I made a mistake on my first purchase.  Joye 510  is not bad a device, it is just that the battery capacity is not as long as I wanted it to last.  (Usually a set comes with 2 batteries, 2 atomizer and 5 cartridge)  I would need to change to a new battery every 2 hours.  I was afraid of not having enough charged batteries when I was out so I brought more stuff.  Within a week I purchased Joye 510 PCC (portable charging case), 510 passthrough (charge on the computer via usb while vaping at the same time) and some miscellaneous.  As i did more research I realized I should have purchase something with more battery power so within a month I end up buying another 2 set for my boyfriend and me.  If I had done more research in the beginning I might not had spend as much money.

Carts or Cartomizers?   I personally hate carts with atomizer because carts holds less E juice, drys out quickly.  When changing to a new cart I tend to get very messy with E juice all over my fingers.  Carts are cheaper then cartomizers and also they last longer. You can take the filler out of the cart and wash them or stuff new filler in them and reuse them till they break.  Cartomizer are more expensive and also they are consider disposable.  The life span of a cartomizer is alot shorter than an atomizer.  The coil in the cartomizer are not as durable as the coil in the atomizer.  Also since the filler is inside the cartomizer it is harder to clean, therefore after several refills they tend to lose flavor or hard to drag.  The cartomizer take longer to fill, but since it holds more juice than a cart, you can vape on it longer before you need to refill or change to another cartomizer.  I personally prefer cartomizer over carts.  You would still need an atomizer and maybe a drip tip to try new flavors before filling up your cartomizer.  *note tank carts is different from the regular carts.  Tank carts is a plastic see thru tank that you place on top of your atomizer.  I would prefer tank carts and cartomizer over carts.

Which starter kit should I start with?  In my opinion, I would recommend the Joye eGo Tank or Riva 510 as a starter kit.  Read the specs and my review on the sets and find out if it is right for you.

*If you are planning on purchasing any electronic cigarettes make sure you get the manual batteries.
