Cheap Cigarettes

Me, enjoying an e cig.

By David Cannell

I realise, at the outset, getting started with e gigarettes may be a little bit confusing, so I made this website as a quickstart comparison guide to clear up some basic points about smokeless electronic cigarettes in Australia, and around the world.

Firstly, in my opinion here is the Standout

The top pick from the rest. Why, because of the quality of the vape, which gives you a thick rich inhale, and this is what we want as a smoker. Plus, the flavor is really close to ‘the real thing” ie a tabacco cigarette.

You can get them here at

So here is the run down of what you need when you want to start.

What are the Basic Requirements?

You will require a battery and the cartridge refills (with flavour) and these when added together look like a real cigarette, and you also need a charger to recharge your battery.

Pictured above are the minimum bare essentials the battery and a cartridge to the side of it, the 5 flavor cartridges, and your USB recharger (much like an iPhone USB recharger, and just as simple to use).

Of course there are more options and add ons for e cigs, but like most people when starting out you will want the closest resemblance to a real cigarette, and I’ve found that e cigs with cartridges like the ones above (also known as cartomizers) are the nearest to the real cigarette experince you can get.

You can try one out a kit like the one above to see if you enjoy it, and after that you may think about looking at the more advanced options like refilling your own cartridges with the liquid, or also e cigarette mods and more.

The Most Affordable Way To Get Started

First, look for a starter kit, and I recommend you get at least 2 batteries so you are never without a charged battery. Also, if you enjoy you vape but the battery dies, then you are stuck til you can replace it!

So, How Does An E Cigarette Actually Work?

With a basic model, inside the cartridge there is a heating filament which heats up the nicotine vapor inside the cartridge. You activate this just by inhaling (with some models that have automatic batteries), or with models that have manual batteries, when inhaling you need to hold down a button. That’s it. As you inhale you have the vapour enter your mouth and throat, simulating the real experience os a cigarette.

Which Brands or Flavours Are Nearest To The Actual Tobacco Cigarette Experience On The Market?

Just like with the regulor tobacco products, everybody has their own particular favourite taste. So you will probably want to try out more than one brand to see which you like best.

Here Are My Top Selections For The Closest Experience To The Real Tobacco Experience

Some nice tobacco flavors are Halo Tribeca, South Beach Smoke, Green Smoke and Bull Smoke Tobacco flavors

The Marlboro Red Taste V2 Cigs Red 18 Available at

Soft Cool Menthol Taste South Beach Smoke Menthol, Green Smoke Menthol

Each Of The Listed Brands And Flavours Is Available Directly From The Company Websites To Order Online

As a bonus! If you buy your e cigs from any one of the companies listed above I have some coupon codes here that will save you real money when you make your online purchase. Check them out.

So I hope that I have clarified some of the most basic questions you may have about electronic cigarettes.

Your Introduction To E Cigarettes

Welcome to our review website.

I’ll be going over the different types of e cigarettes that I’ve tried, and giving my reviews. I have created this site because I love e cigs, and have decided to share my experience and different findings with electronic cigarette brands to help you work out which will one could be the best for you.

E Cig Reviews by David Cannell

I m David (the guy in the picture), and I smoked for many years, then I gave up for 17 years, and about three years started again. Now that sounds nuts right? Well it certainly feels a little crazy.

Anyway, I guess that couuld be considered nuts but I am very addictive with almost everything I do. And maybe you will be able relate to that.

And as a smoker, I am the kind of person who likes a strong rich cigarette taste, and that’s just the way I like it.

Which brings us to electronic cigarettes

I found out that a of the few people around me had started using e cigarettes, and enjoyed them. They are cigarettes smokers just like I am, and enjoy it. Most of the people I knew who had used them had turned to using the same e cigs every time, just like with thier cigarette brands, they had tried other brands of e cigs in the past, and had found a brand that they said gave them a good experience.

This was the main thing that stirred my curiosity that these people I knew. who loved smoking, as I did, really appreciate these e cigs.

What Really Made Me Take The Plunge?

How much can you save ?

Yes, that’s it, what you see in the picture here..

You see, I realise that everyone has their habits and why judge, and for me one of them was I’m addicted to my cigarettes, and wasn t really looking to quit, or reduce or anything, I just enjoyed the smoking habit.

Then someone brought it up to me, when I was going over my budget, and said hey do you know that these eCigs just cost me cents every day rather than dollars!!.

So I asked her what she meant, and she said less than 50 cents, maybe less than 25 cents even .

Well at that point I realised, whether it is 25 cents a day, or closer to 50 cents per day, here I am paying $16 a day for a pack of my favorite brand of ciggies.

Then I saw that even if I liked them only a little bit compared to cigarettes, then I would be able to reduce the number that I smoked and save some real cash if I enjoyed them enough to get that fix. So I decided to try them out at least. I chose the Green Smoke Tobacco flavour, my mate’s e cig of choice, and the favourite ecig for many smokers and I got the regular tobacco flavor because I didn’t want the dessert flavors, or some of the other flavours you can get, as I liked my rich tobacco flavour hit.

Wow, I liked them, I was amazed. And I immediately cut back on the amount of real cigarettes I was smoking, and I just switched back and forth between the e cigs and my cigarette brand, and she really was right, it was so much cheper, especially when you move on and refill your own with e liquid. (In fact you can refill most brands, so it s very easy to save money there is a video on how you can refill them here on the V2 page).

So Is The Cost Of Smoking Your Primary Motivation To Try?

I suggest heading over to and try the starter kit for only $29.95 (it could cost you over $50 to get an equivalent kit just elsewhere). So why not head over to or and try some refill liquid so you can refill your own e cigs. (Watch the video how to refill e cig cartridges here).

It is pretty cheap so you might want to give both a try to see which you like the most, and even try a couple of different tobacco blends (for the tobacco flavours I suggest the Halo Tribeca or V2 Red). Two bottles will cost you less than a carton of normal cigarettes, and so the cost per day is less than $1, maybe quite a bit less depending on how much you vape.

Update for January 2014 My friend has now been converted to using V2 E Liquid, after bu
ying her own favourite brand for more than a year, she now loves the V2 E Juice.

So, there you go, that s an intro to e cigarettes. I ll be discussing more specifics on this site in the future, about brands and more. So I ll be experimenting with some different brands and coming back with reviews.

Here’s a bit more about aspects of e cigs we review

Gimmicks

Are e cigs green? Do they light up when you smoke?

First of all, e cigs are all greener than regular cigarettes. If one firm advertises its environmental friendliness as though it is greener than the rest, test that suggestion by reading more about it. Unless they have invented biodegradable batteries, the most they can offer is a recycling program, although that is a step in the right direction.

Generally speaking, e smoking is better for the environment. Scientists cannot tabulate the effects on nature of butts being dropped on the ground, at least not with certainty.

They can say that e cigs are also more pleasant in the environment, with no smells or ash. In fact, e cigs are not classified the same as traditional cigarettes and can be used in some places where smoking is banned, at least for now, as regulators are clamping down on it.

The grey, lethal looking cloud created by smoking a burning ember is absent. Nothing burns in an e cig nicotine is heated. This is true of all e cigs by definition.

Colors

Certain companies market their products to men. They offer a few color choices, but they either make a cig look like an old fashioned rollup or are they lack vibrancy. Older smokers who dislike the idea of a lime green product might choose these.

Other cigs are designed for women and some are marketed towards men. Shades include varieties of purple, pink, blue, and green.

Power

One of the biggest issues you have after flavor when switching is battery power. If an electronic product cannot keep its charge long enough or the battery only gives 100 puffs, that could be a bit of maintenance.

Battery power is affected by size. If you want a sleek looking mini e cig with a slim profile, you get less power. It is still decent, but you should expect to use it less or charge it more. Bigger batteries obviously have more juice in them and go on longer.

Most kits come with different battery sizes, and some companies, such as Halo Cigs, carry a substantially larger battery that has a much longer life.

Starter Kits

Just about every company creates a starter kit. This is a selection of everything you need to get started. If she were to buy each piece separately, the consumer would pay more than if she bought them as a package. Every company makes this different in some way. Certain ones simplify the issue by creating two versions of the same package. Others add one or two items to sweeten the deal on increasingly bigger, more expensive kits.

A number of firms such as V2 and South Beach offer the option of a Power Cig as a taste testing idea. Try this, with its USB connection, and find out what it feels like to smoke vapor instead of tobacco smoke. If you like the way it feels and are impressed by the company, buy the basic starter kit which does not include a Power Cig.

Kits usually come with a number of flavor cartridges, a USB adaptor, wall charger, and one or two batteries.

Flavors and Nicotine

You know there is power in their battery. Colors suit your personality. Now you have to try a brand’s flavors to be sure this is the right product.

This is for most people the most important factor, and it typically trumps the price, just like with analogues where most people will splurge for Newports or Marlboros over something close that is cheaper.

Each manufacturer carries at least two, possibly as many as four types of tobacco. Versions like Turkish Tobacco are common, and there is often one to simulate the flavor of unfiltered cigarettes. Menthol is also a typical option.

Gourmet flavors are usually part of the menu too. They sound like assorted candies cherry, peach, pina colada, passion fruit, and grape. Coffee, mocha, mint chocolate, and vanilla are a few others. If you like menthol but want a change, try mint tea or peppermint.

You probably smoke mostly for the nicotine, and this is an ingredient inside of the cartridges to refill your e cigs. Choose from a low dose to 2.4%, or even 4.5% in the case of NJOY, or try to wean from nicotine with 0% if you want to cut back.

Read customer impressions of vapor strength. Some products are consistent, while there is a tapering effect from others.

Modded E Cigs

E cig mods are a pretty vast category that is growing like crazy, and is left a bit open for interpretation. Pictured to the right is something that looks like it could come out of NASA, but it is an upgraded battery, and the battery features a variable voltage option.

On top of that is a tank system, which is about the top third of it, where you can see some e cig juice and a black mouth piece up top.

A modded cig like this serves the same function as a standard sized e cig, just with much more horsepower and battery longevity.

There are different sized tanks, and other upgraded batteries, many of them are known as an eGo style battery.

A combination of a tank and an upgraded battery is typically the next big step for anyone looking to get a modded, more powerful cig that lasts longer, and as a nice gateway to the world of mods, which is a lifestyle and hobby for lots of vapers out there.
