Are All E-Cigarettes Created Equal?

Post Under 7 Things You Need to Know Before Buying an Electric Cigarette

E-cigarettes, E-cigars, and E-pipes all come in a variety of sizes, colors, and prices. Not all of these units come with warrantees, guarantees, and great customer service (but I found one that does). You will want to know some things first that can help you decide better what brand may be right for you.

When I first went looking for the different brands of e-cigarettes, I thought I would want one that most resembles the look of a traditional cigarette. In my research I found that most of the shorter units carried a shorter life expectancy. Although the technology is improving, this is something to keep in mind. If you go for something shorter, don’t pay too much for it or make sure the company has an easy replacement policy. If you go for a longer style, you should get a bit more usage before it needs to be replaced.

The atomizer is the piece to be concerned with most. I could find them inexpensively, but I didn’t know if the carts (cartridges) for those products would be as easily available and what the quality and taste on them would be. Being too cheap with your choice of e-cigarette can be a big waste of money. The atomizers and cartridges are not just interchangeable for any brand. Which ever brand you choose, you will likely be ordering your cartridges from that company as well. Getting a really cheap atomizer could mean cheap parts – and don’t be surprised if it only lasts a week. Paying a bit extra on the other hand can buy you company guarantees that can last a minimum of a month or longer.

When shopping for your e-cigs, you should know that some companies offer multiple flavors. I was lucky enough to originally order from a company which had an assorted flavor pack. I picked one up, and discovered I really like the vanilla flavor. Not only did I like it, but my mother in law who is a non smoker really likes the smell left behind after I use my e-cig.

There is a method of using an ecig that has been introduced and it is called “dripping.” It involves using additional fluids to get a proper smoke effect. This method seems to have been discovered by accident, but evolved out of the desperation of smokers who were dealing with inadequate ecigarettes and flavorless cartridges. I have heard mixed reviews on the effectiveness of this method, but since its beginning there have been manufacturers who have taken time to increase the quality of their products. It also appears that dripping can lead to a quick death of the atomizer. Investing in the right e-cigarette keeps the process simple. You shouldn’t have to buy more things to make it function properly.

Like any product you go to buy, you will have choices. Long, short, colors of flames, flavors offered, and warrantees and money back guarantees are all things to look out for.
