Choosing the Best Electronic Cigarette

e-Cigarettes - Which Brand Is Best

Fact is,  just about all e-cigarette models  work basically the same way -- a nicotine-and-water solution is vaporized by an atomizer powered by a battery.  When the user 'takes a puff' from an ecigarette, it activates the atomizer and vaporizes the nicotine/water into a smoke-like steam which is inhaled.

The main differences between electronic cigarette brands and models are in overall dependability and construction quality, vapor output volume, and any special or extra features that may appeal to you depending on your needs, tastes, and preferences.

So if you're thinking of buying one, let's look at how to choose the best e-cigarette for you.

7 Features To Consider When Choosing The Best Electronic Cigarette:

1. Overall look.

Most manufacturers make their ecigarettes to look like a real cigarette. The cartridge is brown to look like a filter, the battery is made to look like main body of a tobacco cigarette and the end will even glow red when you inhale to add to a realistic smoking experience.

Electronic cigarettes are available in the larger pen size, and in various sizes mimicking the sizes of regular tobacco cigarettes all the way down to micro mini.

For smokers who are looking to express their individuality a bit more, you can choose from a variety of colors or exotic designs. Some companies even offer e-cigars and pipes.

2. Color of the LED.

As mentioned above, the traditional look is a red LED on the tip that lights up when you take a drag. However, you can also choose a green or blue LED. What difference does it make? If your LED is red, you won't get as much attention from other smokers because it looks so realistic. On the other hand, if the end lights up green or blue, then you will attract much more attention from curious smokers. This could be good or bad depending on your personality. Do you like to remain anonymous or do you enjoy socializing and answering question from strangers?

3. Vapor volume.

This feature is huge, and where many electronic cigarette brands fail the test. How much vapor you're able to get on one puff is a big deal for many smokers. Generally speaking, more volume equals a more satisfactory and realistic smoking experience.

4. Atomizer.

The atomizer is what vaporizes the nicotine solution and contributes greatly to overall vapor volume. The most common problem is a clogged atomizer. You may want to consider a two-piece model where the nicotine cartridge and atomizer are one unit. Every time you change your cartridge you also get a fresh atomizer.

5. Nicotine strength.

The cartridges generally come in several different nicotine strengths: High, medium, low and zero nicotine. If you're trying to wean yourself off nicotine you may want to consider gradually cutting down on the strength levels.

6. Battery life.

Are you are going to use your ecigarette frequently throughout the day? If so, you want to make sure your battery has battery life that will last for a whole day. You may also want to consider a battery charger for your car if you're on the road a lot.

7. Flavors.

Do you want the traditional flavor of tobacco or menthol? Many companies also offer you the choice of experimenting with vanilla, chocolate, coffee or fruit flavors.

Now that you know what to look for, with a little bit of research you should be able to find the best electronic cigarette that suits your personality and needs. Just don't make the mistake of buying the cheapest ecigarette you find. It's worthwhile to spend a few extra dollars initially to get a device that gives you the most realistic smoking experience without the mechanical problems found in many of the cheaper models.

As for my own personal experience with smokeless cigarettes... After trying several different brands of electronic cigarettes and not being too impressed, I was about to blow it all off (no pun intended) when a friend of mine, who's a long time heavy smoker, suggested Green Smoke.  In fact, he's weaned himself completely off regular cigarettes and has been smoking Green Smoke exclusively for 6 months now.  Amazing!

On his suggestion, I gave Green Smoke a try and I'm sold.   But more importantly, 90% of my blog readers who contact me also recommend Green Smoke - they vote Green Smoke the best electronic cigarette on the market.
