How To Get Started

The transition from traditional tobacco to electronic cigarettes is a big decision, and we're here to make that process as seamless as possible. We test and review a variety of different starter kits that allow you to choose your battery colors, cartomizer flavors, nicotine level, and charging options. Need help with recommendations? Take a look at some of our suggestions.
 

What Flavors should I Try?

If you are currently a regular tobacco, non-menthol smoker, we recommend our traditional 'tobacco' blends that most closely resemble the taste of tobacco cigarettes.

For menthol smokers, we highly recommend a Menthol flavor, which most closely resembles a Menthol Cigarette. The Mint flavors are also an excellent alternative.

If you're feeling particularly adventurous, we'd suggest some of our more exotic blends including, dessert flavors like Vanilla, Chocolate, and Coffee, and fruit blends like Grape, Strawberry, and Apple, to name a few.

Which Nicotine Level is Right For Me?

To give you an idea, an average pack of Medium level tobacco cigarettes has about 20 mg of nicotine in it. With that said, the most popular sellers are 11, 16, and 24 mg. If you are a light smoker, we recommend 11 mg. For medium level smokers, we recommend 16 mg. And if you are a heavier smoker that smokes 'Full' blend cigarettes, we recommend 24 mg of nicotine. Keep in mind, these are recommendations, but based on customer feedback, we think these are appropriate starting points. As always, if you are not completely satisfied with your initial choice, you can make changes to your next order to better fit your needs.

How Many Batteries Should I Get? And What Size?

If you are a light smoker, e.g. a half a pack/day or less, we recommend a starter kit with one battery. If you smoke a half a pack/day or more we recommend a starter kit with two batteries. With two batteries, you are less likely to find yourself  wanting a cigarette if one of your batteries runs out, and you're without a charger. For heavier smokers this can be slightly more problematic, and so we suggest always having a backup.

Which Charger is Right For Me?

If you work at an office or from home, and you are consistently next to a computer or an outlet, a USB/Wall charger will work for you. However, if you are constantly on the move, and don't have access to either a computer or electrical outlet throughout the day
