South Beach Smoke – A Great Choice for First-Time E-Cigarette Smokers

Electronic cigarettes from South Beach Smoke offer the best all-around experience for first time users. The product itself is one of the best on the market with huge vapor production, long battery life and a great choice in flavors and strengths. South Beach Smoke offers two kits: one is the standard industry model 3-piece starter kit and the other is a state-of-the-art two-piece technology that really sets the bar for other major e-cigarette companies.

Another reason South Beach Smoke is the ideal choice for a first-time electronic cigarette user is because of their price and services. South Beach Smoke offers the lowest price available for a 2-piece model (Deluxe Starter Kit) electronic cigarette at only $49.99. They typical price for e-cigarette starter kits of this quality is between $80 and $125. The Deluxe Starter kit includes:

- Two lithium ion rechargeable batteries (one long, one short)
- Five extra-large cartridges (with a flavor and strength on your choosing)
- Portable wall charger
- Owner’s Manual

It also includes a 30-day money back guarantee, lifetime warranty and exclusive deals on cartridge refills. South Beach Smoke’s Customer Service is focal point on their business, the really make sure their customers get exactly what they need in a timely manner – which is vital when it comes electronic cigarettes.

It comes with the same variety of flavors as the Deluxe and has the same lifetime warranty, 30-day money back guarantee. Also, if you enjoy the Premium but want to upgrade to the Deluxe, they let you do that with ease.

All-in-all South Beach Smoke is one of the highest quality products available; and with its pricing, lifetime warranty and money back guarantee – it’s the safest way to try electronic cigarettes for the first time.

Overall Rating:

The GreenSmoke is one of my favorite electronic cigarettes. I smoke it personally on a daily basis. The people at Green Smoke have put together the right combination of a good company, offering a solid product, and then supporting that product and its customers.  The GreenSmoke may cost a little more than some of the other products out there, but in this case you get what you pay for with a great product and great service. Offering eight flavors, five nicotine levels, two battery sizes, 3 chargers (car, home, pc), and a direct plug in cartridge holder that you can use in any USB port the Green Smoke offers all the available options I have seen for a cutting edge electric cigarette.

GreenSmoke offers several varieties of starter kits at different price levels, my recommendation is the regular starter kit with two batteries, and a “sampler” of the cartridge flavors to see what your favorite is, mine is defiantly chocolate! Here is what came in my starter kit:

Green Smoke Starter Kit Contents

1. The manual
2. A “membership” card
3. 2 batteries, 1 big, 1 small
4. 5 medium tobacco cartridges
5. A 110v wall charger
6. A USB charger

Smoke Volume:

The Green Smoke consistently puts out more smoke than any other brand I have tried. It has been called the “Vapor Monster” by some. Here is a shot of a buddy exhaling a vapor cloud from a single pull on the Green Smoke:

The Green Smoke "Vapor Monster"

Ease-of-use:
The Green Smoke is actually easier to smoke than a regular cigarette, no lighter.

Seriously though, its two piece design (more on that later), the treaded screw on cartridges, the variety of chargers, its automatic “hit” sensor, the lighted tip; everything about this product was designed for ease of use.

Service/Shipping:
Unsurpassed in the industry. My original order shipped the same day my order was placed. I have also placed several orders for refill cartridges that have all shipped the day of/day after my order was placed. They have a 30 day, no questions asked, money back guarantee. The one time I did have to contact customer service, because I had accidentally chosen the wrong flavor before submitting my order, a real person answered the 800#, quickly found my order, and changed the flavor to what I wanted.

Design:
The GreenSmoke’s patented simple 2 piece design is one of the big selling factors for me. You have a rechargeable battery, and a disposable filter cartridge. They are threaded together so all you need to do is unscrew the old filter cartridge, screw on a fresh one and you are ready to puff away. Check out this short video of replacing a cartridge:

ZeroCig Electronic cigarettes offer the highest quality e-cigarettes and one of the lowest prices on the market. After I saw their TV commercial I knew I immediately had to try one of these out and write a review. I have to admit the ZeroCig electronic cigarette is one of the best on the market and you can’t beat their Vapor Production and Battery Life.

ZeroCig offers the lowest price on the market for its 2-piece state of the art Starter Kits. The Express Starter Kit is available for only $19.99 and comes with 1 refill cartridge and is a great option for the first time user. I personally would recommend the regular Starter Kit for only $29.99 which comes with 4 refill cartridges and at that price it’s still the cheapest Starter Kit on the market by far.

Regular Starter Kit:
-One Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery
-Four refill cartridges (Various Flavors available in multiple Strengths)
-Carrying Case
-USB Charger

There are over 6 different flavor options to choose from and 3 different Nicotine Levels. My personal favorites are Chocolate and Banana. There are also two different battery types, the Mini and the Super. I personally recommend the Super for the highest Vapor volume.
My order shipped the same day I placed it and I received it in 2 days. Since I spent over $50 I even qualified for Free Shipping. ZeroCig also offers an Auto Refill program with Free Shipping. If you select this program they will send you your Refills automatically each month and you’ll never pay for shipping again. I’ve received my refills the last 3 months and have never had a problem. They even have a 14 day No Questions asked 100% Money Back Guarantee.

Bottom line is this product has the highest quality at one of the lowest price on the market. Great deal in these tough times!

The Smokeless Delite electronic cigarette is a three piece design featuring a battery, separate atomizer, and cartridge. Smokeless Delite offers five flavors and four nicotine levels. I have enjoyed owning and smoking this Electronic Cigarette, and have also found the quality of service to be high. Shipping from California they offer both telephone and email support.

There are two things about the Smokeless Delite e-cig that really stood out to me. Number one, they offer some very unique flavors, like “Energy Drink”, “Pineapple” and “Strawberry” that I have not seen from other companies. Second they offer an auto-ship cartridge program, with free shipping. If you join this program they will send you your selected cartridge order automatically each month, and you save on the shipping. It is a great plan that I have not seen any other electronic cigarette company offer.

Here is what came in my starter kit:

Smokeless Delite "Primo" Starter Kit

Smokeless Delite “Primo” Starter Kit Contents
1.    The manual
2.    2 batteries
3.    1 atomizer
4.    5 cartridges – no nicotine – 1 of each flavor
5.    A 110v power cord
6.    A charger

Smoke Volume:

The Smokeless Delite Electronic Cigarette has an average smoke volume for this type of design. As long as you clean and replace your atomizer regularly, and make sure the open cartridges do not dry out you will not have any problems. Here is a smoky shot:

Ease-of-use:

The Smokeless Delite’s 3 piece electronic cigarette design is easy to use once you get the hang of it. Assemble the battery, the atomizer, and the cartridge as shown in the image below and puff away!.

Service/Shipping:

My original order shipped the day after I ordered it. I also used the cartridge auto-ship program for two additional months, the cartridges I selected were shipped on time, and I did not pay shipping charges as promised. They have a 30 day, no questions asked, money back guarantee for the full purchase price.

Design:

Like the Luci, the Smokeless Delite uses the three piece design with an open cartridge, atomizer, and battery. This is the biggest detractor for me. As always my motto is keep it simple with this kind of stuff. The extra steps required by the three piece design, while not burdensome, are still extra steps you need to take to get puffing. The separate atomizer will eventually degrade in performance and need to be replaced to continue to enjoy the smoke at full volume. The only real benefit I see from this design is that you can save a few extra dollars by refilling the cartridges yourself (a messy process that I don’t use).

Overall Rating:

The Luci electronic cigarette is a good overall product offering four flavors and three nicotine levels. I have smoked it many times and enjoy using it. Luci is a reputable company shipping from the US with telephone and email support. The Luci electronic cigarette has a three piece open cartridge design with a separate atomizer. The open cartridges can sometimes be messy if you are not careful, however if you are inclined to do so, and on a budget they can be easily refilled with inexpensive e-liquid. The Luci has a unique feature in its “Smart Chip” that will actually shut the device down for a short period if the chip determines too much nicotine is being delivered, I do not know of another product that offers this feature.

Here is what came in my starter kit:

Luci Electronic Cigarette Starter Kit

• Directions
• 2 batteries
• 1 Atomizer
• 5 Cartridges
• Charger
• 110v Cord for Charger

Smoke Volume:

The Luci has a decent smoke volume for this type of design. As long as you clean and replace your atomizer regularly, and make sure the open cartridges do not dry out you will not have any problems.

Ease-of-use:

Once you get the hang of it the Luci is a breeze to use.  It features a three piece design; the battery, the atomizer, and the cartridge. Once assembled you simply smoke the Luci like a regular cigarette. Below is a diagram of how the pieces go together:

Service/Shipping:

My original order shipped within two days. I have also placed several orders for refill cartridges that have all shipped within two days of being placed. They have a 30 day, no questions asked, money back guarantee on starter kits only, and they charge a $35 restocking fee.

Design:

The Luci’s 3 piece open cartridge design was the big sticking point for me for a few reasons. With something like an electronic cigarette, the simpler the better. The separate atomizer needs to be maintained and replaced from time to time; this is another part you must order from Luci in addition to the refill cartridges. The open cartridge design, while allowing refills, can be very messy if you are not careful. The benefit of the three piece electronic cigarette design is that the cartridges are less expensive because they do not contain an atomizer, and they are easier to refill if you choose to do so. The charger with separate power cord is also bulky and unnecessary, if the guys from Luci are reading this, make it just plug right into the wall without the mess of the 4 foot cord!

Overall Rating:

The SmokeStik electronic cigarette is another three piece design, like the Luci and Smokeless Delite, featuring a battery, separate atomizer, and cartridge. The Smoke Stik e-cig is distributed in the US by Horizon Cartridges LTD. They offer five flavors and four nicotine levels. The Smoke Stik flavors are all currently different variations of a “nicotine” flavor like “full”, “medium” and “light”, the also have a menthol flavor. Shipping from the US they offer both telephone and email support.

The SmokeStik electronic cigarette may appeal to the very fashion conscious as they offer five different looks for the e-cig battery including white, black, gold, pink, and metal. They even offer a “Royale” model that has what looks like a diamond on the tip (its most likely plastic).

Here is what came in my starter kit:

Smoke Stik “Premium” Starter Kit Contents
• (2) Batteries
• (5) Cartridges of your choice:
• (1) Atomizer
• (1) Charger
• (1) AC Adapter 120v/240v
• (1) User manual

Smoke Volume:

The SmokeStik Electronic Cigarette has an average smoke volume for the three piece design. If you do not clean and replace your atomizer regularly smoke volume will diminish over time, also make sure the open cartridges do not dry out and you will not have any problems. Here is a pic showing the smoke volume:

Ease-of-use:

The Smoke Stick’s 3 piece design is easy to use once you get the hang of it, however I still think it is inferior to the simpler 2 piece design. Assemble the battery, atomizer, and cartridge as shown in the image below and smoke away!

Service/Shipping:

My original orders shipping and service were fine; however this was prior to Horizon Cartridges taking over the US distribution. If anyone has experience dealing with the new distributor please share below. They do not advertise any type of guarantee or return program.

Design:

Like the Luci and Smokeless Delite the SmokeStik e-cig uses the three piece design with an open cartridge, atomizer, and battery. This is the biggest detractor for me. As always my motto is keep it simple with this kind of stuff. The extra steps required by the three piece design, while not burdensome, are still extra steps you need to take to get smoking. The separate atomizer will eventually degrade in performance and need to be replaced to continue to enjoy the full volume of vapor.
