Disposable Electronic Cigarette Review

Posted on September 28th, 2009 in Electronic Cigarette Reviews | No Comments »

disposable-ecigIf you’ve been considering switching to electronic cigarettes but don’t want to spend $50+ on a higher end kit just to test them out then we’ve found the perfect product for you: The disposable electronic cigarette. A big thanks to Electronic Cigarettes Inc. for sending us a free sample of this handy little ecig to review for our loyal readers!

Our disposable electronic cigarette came packed in the same sturdy plastic container you see in the image on the left. It was sealed with a quality control sticker on the back that indicated an expiration date about 8 months from now.

Presentation and Aesthetics

The disposable electronic cigarette is fairly average looking. It’s battery is white and the cartridges are orange. Right above the cartridge is a tiny logo that reads “e-tobacco” along with a tiny pin-sized air hole to control vapor (more on this in a moment). The top of the disposable electronic cigarette is pretty interesting. Where the LED would normally be located is an on/off switch that looks similar to an unlit LED on a higher end electronic cigarette. Unfortunately when you puff on this, it doesn’t light up. This was most likely to save on production costs to keep the price low.

Vapor Production

When it comes to vapor production the disposable electronic cigarette delivers. It allows for long puffs and as far as we can tell, it doesn’t have a cut off time. As we’d mentioned before it has a tiny air hole right above the cartridge to control the amount of vapor inhaled. If you cover the hole with your finger it will simply stop all airflow. This nifty feature works perfectly and does what it was intended to do.

Cartridge Life

The disposable electronic cigarette comes with 2 cartridges that are good for around 300 puffs. They fit nicely into the battery and won’t fall out. Note: The product picture above depicts three cartridges. The one that is in the battery is just for show.

In Closing

The disposable electronic cigarette is a great device for those who are curious, but don’t want to invest a lot of money their first time around. We were a bit disappointed that there is no LED but again, this was probably done to keep costs down. The safety on/off switch and the vapor control are also a nice touch. The disposable electronic cigarette is easy to assemble and works right out of the package. There’s no charging involved.

The disposable electronic cigarette is being sold by Electronic Cigarettes Inc. for only $19.95 each (free shipping).

Vapor King 510 Electronic Cigarette Kit Review

For this article we reviewed the Vapor King 510 (Double) Electronic Cigarette kit being sold by Electronic Cigarettes Inc.

When we received the Vapor King 510 it came neatly packed in a small white gift box. The box contained 2 batteries, a wall outlet charger, 2 atomizers, an instruction manual, and 5 high strength nicotine cartridges.

We got the white version of the kit so all batteries, atomizers, and cartridges came in white. There are also black and stainless steel kits available as well. A big thanks goes out to Electronic Cigarettes Inc. for sending us this free sample to review for our loyal readers!

Presentation and Aesthetics

The first thing we did was assemble our electronic cigarette. The nicotine cartridge fits snugly inside of the atomizer which then screws into the battery. When held in hand the Vapor King 510 feels solid and durable and looks stylish. The gold ring on the end of the atomizer is a nice touch.

On the battery is a small black button that must be pressed to take a drag from the cigarette. If it is not pushed no vapor is released. This may sound like a hassle but it’s actually a nice feature because it allows the user to take a drag for as long as they want.

Vapor Production

The batteries were already charged on arrival so we were able to test the Vapor King 510 right after we assembled it. The most notable benefit is that there is no cutoff time when taking a puff from the Vapor King. You can take as long or short of a drag as you want. Other ECigs on the market will only allow the user to pull for about 5 or 6 seconds before cutting off. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that the 510 didn’t require much work to take a drag from. Some other models like the KR808D require a bit more effort to take a pull from.

Battery Life

The Battery life really depends on your habits and how often you smoke. It could last anywhere from 1 to 8 hours. If you smoke a lot you may want to consider carrying an extra battery on the go. Charging takes about a 1-1.5 hr and the gift box states that each battery can be charged around 300 times. Electronic Cigarettes Inc. also sells a portable charger pack that didn’t come with the double kit that we tested. The portable charger pack can charge a Vapor King 510 battery up to 3 times before having to be recharged itself. It also holds an atomizer and two extra nicotine cartridges. If you are a frequent smoker this might be a wise investment as the wall charger only charger can only charge one battery at a time and doesn’t do much good if you aren’t at home.

Cartridge Life

The cartridges are said to be the rough equivalent of 12-15 cigarettes which isn’t as much as a regular pack of cigarettes but when you consider that 5 cartridges costs $10 it’s easy to see the savings.

In Closing

The Vapor King 510 allows smokers to take as long or as short of a puff as they want, looks stylish, has a good battery life, and inexpensive refill cartridges. It is available in three different styles and gives users the option to smoke flavored nicotine. The only real drawback we found was that the wall charger only charges one cigarette at a time. However, this is easily remedied with the portable charger pack. Overall, this is an exceptional electronic cigarette kit and we would recommend it to anyone considering making the switch.
