Before we get into details about how the best three e cig brands compare when stacked up against each other, we first need to tell you that these findings are merely nuances. These three brands, South Beach Smoke, EverSmoke and V2 Cigs are the ultimate brands on the market at the moment and you can rest assured that you will not make a mistake with either of them. Other brands are nowhere close to these three and while there are slight differences between them, they are nothing when compared to the shortages that some other brands have.

Quality of Make

When it comes to the quality of make of these electronic cigarettes, we can only say that all three brands employ the best materials and that they have the finest quality e cigs on the market, by far. There are no discernible differences in the quality of make of either of these brands, the accessories for the e cigs that they sell. These are the top three brands in every concern when the quality of make is in question, which results in long lasting batteries, e cigs that never break down and smooth experiences every single time.

Choice of Flavors

When it comes to the choice of flavors, South Beach Smoke and EverSmoke are far ahead of V2 Cigs. South Beach Smoke offers a variety of flavors that is unprecedented. EverSmoke is partnered with Vapor Zone and you know what that means. That means thousand of flavors. V2 Cigs does not offer that much in terms of quantity, but they more than make it up with quality.

Quality of Vapor

This is where it really becomes nuanced. As far as we go, the best vapor comes from South Beach Smoke, closely, very closely followed by the vapor you get from V2 Cigs. In third place is the EverSmoke vapor, but as we said, this is a very subjective category and we really cannot promise that you will have the same opinion as our reviewers.

Price

We would lose too much time and space talking about and comparing all the different starter kits and batteries and cartridges and packages so we will simply compare the most basic starter kits to give you an idea of the price ranges. SBS basic kit is priced at $59.99, EverSmoke analogue is priced at $49.99 and the V2 Cigs basic kit will set you back $59.95. As you can see, EverSmoke comes out as the most affordable. At least when the basic standard starter kit is in question.

Reduced ignition propensity cigarettes

Are e-cigarettes safe? european lung foundation[uk]

The RIP Coalition is pleased to announce that it has achieved its goal to make reduced ignition propensity or “fire safer” cigarettes a legal requirement in the UK and European Union. From 17 November 2011 all cigarettes sold throughout the EU must conform to the new standard.

Members of the RIP Coalition have been campaigning for the new standard since 2007 to reduce the number of avoidable deaths and injuries resulting from fires started by cigarettes.

Cigarettes are the biggest cause of domestic fire deaths in the UK causing over 100 fatalities each year. In 2008, the most recent year for which statistics are available, smokers materials caused 2,814 fires and 101 deaths.

How do RIP cigarettes work?

A simple change in the design of cigarettes (two narrow bands of slightly thicker paper) greatly reduces the likelihood of unattended cigarettes continuing to burn, dramatically cutting the risk of fire. Tobacco companies could have introduced the change voluntarily but they refused. They even campaigned against laws that would bring in these “fire safer” cigarettes.

However, thanks to persistent lobbying by health and fire safety organisations, all cigarettes now sold in the EU are required to comply with the new fire safety standard.

In 2010, Finland became the first EU country to require fire safer cigarettes and the number of smoking related fire deaths fell by 40% in one year.

RIP cigarettes for Europe before the end of 2011

The RIP Coalition understands that “fire safer cigarettes” should be in UK shops within the year. Negotiations at the European Union have been progressing well since the CEN, Europe s standard making body, published the standard and test method on 17th November 2010. Once the standard is referenced in the Official Journal of the European Union, which is usually 12 months after it is published, companies will be required to meet it. Therefore we expect the standard to be in force on or around 17th November, 2011.

RIP Law to cover entire US population

Eleven more US states now require all cigarettes sold to conform to the Reduced Ignition Propensity (RIP) standard, bringing the total to 43 states. Laws came into force on 1 January 2010 in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

Mississippi, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio and Missouri will all implement legislation during 2010, followed by South Dakota in January 2011 and Wyoming in July 2011. Wyoming became the 50 and last state to pass legislation to protect smokers and their families from the old style cigarettes, on 19 March 2010.

Cigarettes had been the number one cause of preventable fire deaths across the US until the State of New York became the first to implement RIP legislation in 2004 against fierce tobacco industry resistance. Canada was the first country to introduce RIP Cigarettes nationwide, while legislation in Australia came into force on 23 March 2010.

Tobacco manufacturers don’t sell firesafer cigarettes in the UK where cigarettes continue to be the largest cause of domestic fire deaths causing up to 3,000 fires per year. The European Union is currently developing a standard to be introduced across Europe, however Finland has introduced its own regulations from 1 April 2010.
