GreenSmoke Review
The GreenSmoke electronic cigarette offers to smokers a convenient and
simple way for enjoying alternative to traditional cigarettes.
The GreenSmoke E cigarette starter kit contains everything you need to
start "vaporizing".
General information:
GreenSmoke electronic cigarette consists of only 2 parts. GreenSmoke
was the first to patent 2-component Electronic Cigarette. The first
part is the battery, and the other piece is atomizer and flavoured
nicotine liquid. GreenSmoke 2-part design is very convenient to use.
One-step cartridge replacement: Unscrew battery from old cartridge and screw onto new one.
The atomizer is integrated into the disposable cartridge along with the nicotine pad, and is always
renewed with each replacement. It's extremely convenient because after
frequent uses, the atomizer in 3-part models can become clogged and inefficient.
Nicotine pad is built into cartridge: You never need to touch it, and it never leaks.
The cartridges taste great and are producing tons of vapor.
USB charger is very useful, your e-cigarette never has to be recharged
untill you are near the notebook or PC. The battery will last you
almost the whole day.
However, the USB connection on the car charger does not put out
enough power to run it. The car charger is only useful for recharging the batteries.
Kit contents:
The Green Smoke Basic Starter Kit includes:
» 2 Lithium ion rechargeable electronic cigarette batteries
» 1 USB E-Cigarette
» 1 USB home charger kit (includes USB adapter and wall adapter) (100-240VAC)
» 5 Nicotine cartridges
» 1 Green Smoke electronic cigarette manual
The Green Smoke Express Smoker Kit Includes:
» 1 Lithium ion rechargeable electronic cigarette battery
» 1 USB E-Cigarette
» 1 Nicotine cartridges (Tobacco Flavor and 6mg of nicotine)
» 1 USB home charger kit (includes USB adapter and wall adapter) (100-240VAC)
» 5 Nicotine cartridges
» 1 Green Smoke electronic cigarette manual
There is even a Love Birds Kit for smoking couples!
Cartridges
GreenSmoke cartridges comes in 7 aromatic flavors to match many tastes and moods, including:
tobacco, vanilla , chocolate, menthol, apple, strawberry and coffee.
GreenSmoke E cigarette cartridges are color-coded for better
usability.
1 cartridge actually lasts about 1,5-2 days which is almost a pack of
usual cigarettes. When the cartridge is low, it still emits a good
amount of vapor but the taste is not so perfect like with a new one.
GreenSmoke will be the best choice if you are not into refilling cartridges yourself.
Style/Look, accesories, other info
GreenSmoke E-cigarette looks great and fashionable. The extra detail: Green Smoke LED
light actually glows brighter when you’re inhaling.
Accesories looks really great. Gold case is really awesome and looks
glamorous! Even you can choose color of carrying case when placing an order (depends on kit).
The shipping is very fast (usually in 24h) and all kits are always in stock. Customers
support answers very quickly. Also phone support is available. GreenSmoke provides 30-days moneyback guarantee and 1-year warranty for all kits.
Summary:
Greensmoke is the Ferrari of E-Cigarettes.
Nowadays it is the highest rated consumer brand, which offers customers perfect quality certified e-cigarettes and well-organized customer service.

SmokeTIP Review

SmokeTip is an inexpensive option for those that aren’t sure if e-cigarettes are the right choice for their smoking tastes.
SmokeTip is an economical choice for an electronic cigarette, but that doesn’t mean that their product is cheaply made!
General information:
SmokeTip’s electronic cigarette is one of the more reliable electronic cigarettes at this low price level. The starter kit is only $59.95, and cartridges come at an equally low flat rate. All smokers have been very satisfied with the product, and we haven’t heard from anyone with problems.
Accessories are comprehensive and fairly priced.
Selection of flavors is the best, though fruits a bit soft. SmokeTip offers a virtual ice-cream store of flavor cartridges: including regular, menthol, coffee and cherry, almond, apple, chocolate, peach, strawberry and vanilla. Because some of those flavors sound unorthodox, I would highly recommend trying the variety pack before you order anything other than regular or menthol.
The SmokeTip electronic cigarette only arrives inside a 2 piece pattern which consists with the battery/microprocessor assembly and also the refill cartridge/atomizer assembly. For a first timer, this is a great starter package.
Kit contents:
The SmokeTIP Starter Kit includes:
» 2 Rechargeable Lithium Batteries
» 6 Disposable Flavor Cartridges
» 1 Wall Adapter
» 1 USB Charger
» 1 Instruction Card
» Gift box packaging
Cartridges
The cartidges are of high capacity and each cartridge is equivilent to around 25 regular cigarettes.
SmokeTIP cartridges comes in 13 (!) Flavors – Regular, Cowboy, Menthol, Almond, Apple, Grape, Cherry, Chocolate, Clove, Coffee, Peach, Strawberry, Vanilla.
SmokeTIP offers 4 Nicotine Levels – Full (16mg), Light (12mg), Ultra (6mg), and No Nicotine (0mg)
Cartridge changing is very affordable, because of their low price. Also, SmokeTIP gives you a new atomizer with every replacement cartridge, like popular expensive brands do.
Style/Look, accesories, other info
SmokeTIP offers great variaty of chargers: SmokeTip USB Charger, SmokeTip Wall Adapter, Wall & USB Charger, Travel Charger Case, SmokeTip Car Charger, USB Passthrough.
Carrying case comes only in one color – black. It is slim enough to slide in any pocket.
Instructions are thorough and detailed.
30 Day Money Back Guarantee – If you aren’t satisfied within the first 30 days for any reason you can return your purchase.
Summary:
SmokeTIP is good combination of 3 factors: ease of use, delivery, and pricing. It offers customers new technologies of E-CIGs, including 2-part design and great variaty of flavors with affordable prices.

Be informed!
Electronic cigarette
An electronic cigarette, e-cigarette or personal vaporizer, is a battery-powereddevice that provides inhaled doses of nicotine or non-nicotinevaporizedsolution.
It is an alternative to smoked tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars, or pipes. In addition to purported
nicotine delivery, this vapor also provides a flavor and physical sensation similar to that of inhaled tobacco smoke, while no smoke or combustion is actually involved in its operation.
An electronic cigarette takes the form of some manner of elongated tube, though many are designed to resemble the outward appearance of real smoking products, like cigarettes, cigars, and pipes. Another common design is the "pen-style", so named for its visual resemblance to ballpoint pen. Most electronic cigarettes are reusable devices with replaceable and refillable parts. A number of disposable electronic cigarettes have also been developed.
Operation
In automatic models, when a user inhales through the device, air flow is detected by a sensor, which activates a heating element that vaporizes a flavored liquid solution stored in the mouthpiece, which may contain nicotine.
On manual models, the user must depress a button to activate the heating element to produce vapor which is then inhaled by the user.
On most models an LED on the opposite end of the device is also activated during inhalation, which serves as an indicator of use.
Several LED colors are available from various manufacturers.
Components
While electronic cigarettes take many forms, they each generally employ the same basic components: a mouthpiece, a heating element, a rechargeable battery, and various electronic circuits.
Mouthpiece ("cartridge")
The mouthpiece is a small disposable plastic cup-like piece affixed to the end of the tube. Inside the mouthpiece is a smaller plastic cup which holds an absorbent material that is saturated with a flavored liquid solution that may contain nicotine. This inner cup is made such that air is able to flow around it and through a hole in the end of the outer piece; this is necessary for the device to provide the ability for suction to move the vapor into the user's mouth. The mouthpiece is referred to in the industry as a "cartridge". When the liquid in the cartridge has been depleted, it can either be refilled by the user or replaced with another pre-filled cartridge.
Another alternative to using cartridges is the direct dripping method using drip tips. By removing the absorbent material, one is able to simply remove the plastic mouthpiece and drip several drops of e-liquid directly onto the atomizer bridge. To further ease dripping, some manufacturers have created specialty mouthpieces made of stainless steel or plastic that are intended just for dripping and do not require removal each time you drip.
Heating element ("atomizer")
The heating element serves to vaporize the liquid in the mouthpiece so that it can be inhaled. This component is referred to in the industry as an "atomizer". Atomizers have a finite life of about one month (on average) and are one of the recurring expenses associated with electronic cigarettes. Some models combine an atomizer and pre-filled disposable component referred to as a "cartomizer".
Battery and electronics
Most electronic cigarettes employ a lithium-ion rechargeable battery to power the heating element. Battery life varies depending on the battery type and size, frequency of use, and operating environment.
Many different battery charger types are available, such as wall outlet, car, and USB chargers. The battery is generally the largest component of an electronic cigarette.
Some electronic cigarettes employ an electronic airflow sensor to automatically activate the heating element upon inhalation, while other models require the user to press a button while inhaling.
Various other electronic circuits are usually employed as well, such as a timed cutoff switch to prevent overheating and a colored LED to signal activation of the device and also to mimick the glow of a cigarette's end tip.
Traditionally, electronic cigarettes have utilized an electronic means of activation. This involved the use of small tactile switches, vacuum switches and the related wiring and electronics necessary to run them.
Users soon discovered these could be unreliable. With the advent of "mods", several manufacturers have created all-mechanical electronic cigarettes that eliminate the use of any wiring, solder or electronics in an effort to improve switch reliability.
While some larger electronic cigarette models employ a user-replaceable standard-size battery cell, many models are too small to house a standard-size cell and instead require a proprietary component made by the electronic cigarette manufacturer.
For those models, the battery and electronic components are housed within a single replaceable part, which is still generally referred to in the industry simply as the "battery".
