South Beach Smoke Electronic Cigarette Review
Starting at $59.99
Taste and Flavor
South Beach Smoke likes to follow the kiss principle. Keep it simple stupid. They have kept their assortment of flavors limited with their top seller being regular tobacco. This flavor has garnished rave reviews among their customers. Closely following is their menthol flavor. Both have great flavor and don’t leave any nasty after taste lingering in your mouth.
Ease Of Draw
The vent system on the SBS ecig gives you a blast of vapor that is sure to put a big smile on the face of the heavy smoker. This is what I would recommend to those smokers who like a big, heavy kick to the chest. I love a big blast and I was thoroughly impressed.
Vapor Amount
The vapor content in South Beach Smoke's eCig is amazing! The first drag made me cough it was so thick and heavy, I was blowing puffy smoke rings like a champ!
Battery Life
South Beach Smoke has a new battery called the SUPERMAX battery and it just keeps going and going and going. It is absolutely awesome. I can go just about 2 days without charging and that is really amazing. Enough said.
Customer Service
South Beach Smoke is eager to please. I found that even with minor issues they were accommodating and quick to resolve any issue that I had. Delivery was as advertised and came in a timely fashion.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
Electronic cigarette batteries are the power behind your ecig. It sends a charge to the atomizer that heats the liquid and creates the vapor.
CARTOMIZER
Electronic Cigarettes have cartomizers which contain the atomizer and the nicotine filled vapor liquid. When heated, it provides a smooth and flavorful draw while producing maximum vapor. Most cartomizers have a built in atomizer.
GLOWING LED LIGHT
Every electronic cigarette has an LED light on the tip that glows each time you take a drag. It will also will also blink when it's time to recharge your electronic cigarette.
DRAG SENSOR
Electronic Cigarette's have a drag sensor built seamlessly into the cartomizer. This relays a signal that triggers the ecig battery to heat the atomizer and produce the vapor.
MICROPROCESSOR
Specially designed and carefully incorporated into the ecig mouthpiece, it is designed to control the heat source and LED light of your electronic cigarette.
History of Electronic Cigarette
The electronic cigarette was developed in China in 2004. It was designed to take the place of smoking tobacco cigarettes. Aside from the numerous nicotine replacement products and devices on the market, such as gum and patches, these do not replace the smoking experience which has been proven to be a part of the addictive ritual of smoking. The e-cigarette is a gift to the avid smoker–it's purpose–to both deliver nicotine and to simulate the experience of smoking a traditional tobacco cigarette.
The electronic cigarette looks and feels just like a traditional cigarette– it consists of a nicotine cartridge, a heating element called an atomizer, a battery and an LED light at the tip of the device. Electronic cigarettes work by channeling the flow of air to a meter that is triggered when the user inhales on the device. This activates the circuitry and delivers the nicotine to the user by a short burst of vapor that is inhaled. The LED at the tip lights up showing that the battery is operational. The vapor that is exhaled may look like smoke but it is actually just a water based vapor that is odorless and harmless.
Electronic or smokeless cigarettes come in many flavors ranging from traditional tobacco to exotic fruits or coffee. Cartridges are also available with varying levels of nicotine ranging from full strength 18mg down to 0mg.
Controversy with regards to the legality and safety of electronic cigarettes surrounds the industry and the facts. E-Cigarettes are available for sale in the USA but they are not yet approved or endorsed by the FDA but that should not last too long. Electronic Cigarettes can be sold as "Alternatives" to tobacco cigarettes but they are not approved as "Smoking Cessation" devices. Electronic Cigarettes have not been deemed to be unsafe by any US or European health organization and parts of Europe have even declared the smokeless electronic cigarette to be a public-friendly device.

Eversmoke Electronic Cigarette Review
Starting at $59.99
Taste and Flavor
Eversmoke is the new kid on the block and they are gaining market share fast! At first I was skeptical about them, as I am with all the new start ups, but after sampling their product I quickly became a fan. Their assortment of flavors is tremendous with basic offerings as well as coffee, peppermint, and cherry. I really dig the peppermint, it’s like smoking a candycane.
Ease Of Draw
The vent system on the Eversmoke ecig is similar to South Beach Smoke’s and packs a powerful punch. I like that very much. I like to smoke and Eversmoke understands that very clearly. Drawing on an Eversmoke electronic cigarette is easy-my cheeks don’t hurt from excessive pulling as with some of the other brands out there.
Vapor Amount
The vapor content that flows from Eversmoke's eCig is massive. I thought that it would be because of the vent system and am happy to report that Eversmoke didn’t disappoint. These guys clearly had a great blueprint that helped them create a fantastic product.
Battery Life
Eversmoke has a few battery options, my favorite being the HC (High-Capacity) Battery. This big bertha holds a charge for the entire day, and trust me, I am a heavy, heavy electronic cigarette smoker. For those smokers who aren’t fanatical, Eversmoke’s standard battery will suffice just perfectly.
Customer Service
Eversmoke has a phenomenal customer service center. Every little thing that I complained about, and believe me when I say that I am a royal pain in the ass to these companies, they sorted out with a smile and in a better than timely fashion.
Greensmoke Electronic Cigarette Review
Starting at $89.99
Taste and Flavor
Green Smoke has a taste unlike any other brands on the market. The only way to describe it is to say that it feels like you are actually smoking green. Not that kind of green, LOL, It just tasted fresh and wonderful. All their flavors are amazing! I really liked their Mocha Mist-it goes really well with my morning coffee. My menthol customers all rave about their menthol flavor and when I tried it I felt like I was chewing on a refreshing piece of tasty minty bubblegum.
Ease Of Draw
The venting system on Green Smoke is really wonderful-not too strong, not too light-Can anyone say, SWEET SPOT? It was smooth. I was really surprised at how easy it was to get a good pull.
Vapor Amount
The vapor that comes out of a Green Smoke eCig is ridiculous! I was truly shocked and thoroughly impressed with the first drag. Thick, heavy vapor came billowing out of my lungs and I was a believer!!!
Battery Life
The batteries that come with Green Smoke are great! One battery lasted the whole day. I was thoroughly impressed with my experience. It’s not a SUPERMAX, but so what?
Customer Service
The people at Green Smoke are really nice!!! I swear they must give them happy pills. They were just great. I am a real stickler when it comes to customer service. Nothing pisses me off more than a business that treats me like it is my pleasure to do business with them rather than theirs. Green Smoke is thrilled to have you on their bus and will do everything to make the trip comfortable.
V2 Cigs Electronic Cigarette Review
Starting at $59.99
Taste and Flavor
V2 has a catchy theme going for their flavor line. They have mimicked the leading traditional tobacco cigarettes with their own versions-Red for Marlboro, Sahara for Camel and Congress for Parliament-pretty clever on their part, don’t you think? They also have the flavors Peppermint, Menthol, Chocolate, Cherry, and Coffee. They all hit the mark.
Ease of Draw
The V2 draw is wonderful-their venting system is gauged to give a good, heavy blast of vapor with each pull. After many pulls, the V2 system stands head and shoulders above the rest.
Vapor Amount
The amount of vapor that came screaming out of my V2 was exceptional. It was as advertised, thick and heavy. When I used the manual battery I got precision performance. This was a great experience.
Battery Life
V2’s batteries last all day long. For me, I was a heavy smoker and I have a few extra batteries scattered about so that I can make certain to always have a fix at hand, but for the average smoker, these batteries will not disappoint you.
Customer Service
V2 has the typical call center customer service operation. They were quick to address my concern with a battery and had a replacement shipped out that very day. I was happy about that, and any & all issues that I have had, they were quick to rectify.
V2 is what I smoke....

Electronic Cigarettes
What’s The Point?
EDITORIAL
By JD SMOKE
Let's face it, smokers love to smoke. It's a part of us, it's an extension of who we are. I would smoke in my sleep if I could.
Not only is smoking a financial burden, but after smoking for 20+ years it was taking a toll on my health. When I decided to quit, I tried the patch, the gum, the lozenges, hypno–therapy, prescription drugs–I tried everything–and nothing worked.
The fact is that I just love the act-the art-the ritual of smoking.
When I discovered the electronic cigarette, my prayers were answered. I still got to participate in something that I truly love and enjoy without destroying my body and respiratory system.
I have found Shangri–La-my little piece of Heaven on earth and want to share it with all my fellow smokers.

What is propylene glycol?
Propylene glycol has been used safely for more than 50 years, used in health-sensitive applications such as food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, where it serves as a non-active ingredient or carrier of other substances.
Most consumers will get in contact with propylene glycol during their normal everyday life, when consuming personal care articles like creams, sprays, lotions, when enjoying soft drinks, sweets and other foods, or when taking a medicine or being vaccinated against a severe disease.
Studies have proven that propylene glycol has a very low degree of toxicity. In the body, propylene glycol is rapidly converted into lactic acid, in a similar manner to what happens with with sugar (energy).
Why is tobacco smoke so dangerous?
EDITORIAL
Source-South Beach Smoke
While this may seem like a self-explanatory question, cigarette smoke possesses a variety of different ways it is harmful. From the amount of chemicals that are laced into each cigarette, which then get inhaled into the lungs, and the effects smoke has once it has been released, smoke has the ability to strike first hand, second hand, and third hand. Here is a look at all the many sides of tobacco smoke, and why going smokeless is the best way to get your nicotine.
With tobacco, tar and smoke go hand in hand. Did you know that smoking a pack a day, after an entire year, will have deposited a quart of tar into your lungs? That is a frightening, and potentially deadly statistic. What’s even scarier is that it comes from smoke, and is residual. Therefore, every single cigarette that is smoked leaves behind quantity of tar, and this goes for the smoker as well as those exposed to their second hand smoke.
Smoke pollutes the air, indoors and outdoors. Obviously, in outdoor settings, the ventilation is usually enough to dissipate it, but indoors it’s a different story. Indoor air pollution has been linked to countless respiratory and health issues, and when you smoke cigarettes inside, it will put that pollution into overdrive! Second hand smoke kills just as easily as doing it firsthand, and the effects of third hand can really be overshadowed by it. Third hand smoke refers to the toxic effects of smoke and it’s byproduct, tar, lingering on things like your skin and hair. People who have switched to electronic cigarettes always notice how quickly their hair and skin become healthier.
Many people balk when they learn of the chemicals that cigarettes have in them. While it is totally old news, “chemicals” is a pretty good catch-all, and most people do not even know the extent of them. Ammonia, formaldehyde, toluene, arsenic, butane are a mere scratch on the surface of the 4,000 toxins, many of which are known carcinogens. Ever hear of the toxic pesticide DDT? What about methane, also known as sewer gas as well as flatulence? Carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, and naphthalene (mothballs, you know, also carcinogenic) are some of the others, and just the mention of them will call to mind somE pretty sickening thoughts.
It’s no wonder that tobacco cigarette smoke is so incredibly harmful when these are the types of things put into them. Nothing kills more humans than tobacco, and it’s really time for people to switch to e-cigarettes!

Taste and Flavor
Let me first start out by saying that eSmoke is all Kosher. What does that mean? It means that they take the utmost of care when manufacturing their products. They make their juice in the USA and have it checked for quality by a third party. I never wonder what I am getting when I smoke them because they take pride in keeping their product and reputation in pristine condition. With that being said, they offer a multitude of flavors and choosing can be a big task. I tried some of their recommended choices and ABSOLUTELY LOVED the flavor called El Toro. It’s similar to a Red Bull flavor. Really great flavors.
Ease of Draw
I ran into some trouble here because I like a big, fat draw and didn’t get it with their vent system. HOWEVER, my customers and all the people that I interviewed who like a light, easy, mellow draw absolutely love it. But this is my review, and I like to get blasted.
Vapor Amount
eSmoke's ecigs are geared toward the light smoker. It has a hit similar to blu's-light and fluffy is the way to describe it. It's not my style, but it might be yours. eSmoke is great because you know what you are getting every time.
Battery Life
It was fine and I have no complaints. It lasted long enough before I had to recharge it. It didn’t have a WOW factor like South Beach Smoke’s, but neither did anyone else’s.
Customer Service
e Smoke has great customer service, you get straight to the heart of the company to a delightful young woman who is eager to assist you with any issues you may have. I LOVE THAT!!!! Not only that, but if you are on their website after hours, someone is immediately there for a live chat-again, not some call center who doesn’t know the product, but someone who has actually tried the product and knows what they are talking about. TOP NOTCH.
