Shop for Electronic Cigarettes
There are so many different kinds of Ecigs that your head can start spinning trying to figure it all out, but the bottom line is that two piece technology is far better (why?) and the better Ecigs are smaller in length and diameter, they weigh less, and now have longer battery lives.

I will get a commission!
However, my goal is to not only provide you with a good selection, but to provide a helpful and informative site, that keeps you coming back, so I share my reviews and honest opinions wherever possible. You’re my customer, after all!
As of December 2009, I’ve narrowed down my recommended selections to just three products, and oddly enough, they do come from from three different vendors due to the price points and technology.
- Blu Electric – You can’t get a better value than their $59 unit - although it does have its downside, being the older technology two piece unit.
- Esmoke – If you want the best of all worlds, this is the Cadilac of Ecigs. If you want the identical size of a cigarette, and the the lightest possible weight, yet still want the latest three-piece technology, then the $149 Esmoke unit clearly is the number one winner. As of January 20010, they even have one with a recharger carrying pack for $189, and it’s now even got a limited lifetime warranty!
- GreenSmoke- Also using the newer and better technology of a three-piece unit, I really like the Greensmoke unit, but note that it does have that slightly larger diameter that is prevalent in ALL of the three-piece units other than Esmokes – but then – it’s cheaper too!
These are our preferred and updated affiliate vendors…
ESmoke.net
(ONLY two piece units available)
Esmoke is the only vendor we know of offering the two-piece designs in a new “micro size unit”. However, their product line is a little confusing, so let me explain.
They have two models, the Sensation and the Esmoke Promi, but their starter kits only offer variety in the regular sized Sensation.
Personally, I’m a bit skeptical of the battery life in the micro size, but i’m ordering one to test out soon. Here’s a summary:
- Basic Starter Kit – Adds an AC/DC wall charger and 5 nicotine cartridges – $85.99 (see my review)
- Deluxe Starter Kit – Adds the AC/DC charger, the 5 cartridges, AND a second battery, which gives you two complete units – $124.99
- Esmoke Pro Kit – Same as the deluxe kit, two full units, but a smaller diameter and length make it the “state of the art” – $149.99
The fact that Esmoke is located in the US, stocks plenty of items on hand, generally ships within 48 hours, and a human actually answered the phone, makes them another preferred vendor.
Green Smoke
(ONLY two piece units available)
GreenSmoke has a very professional website, and seems to be in business for the long haul. If I were a retailer stocking products, I’d stock this brand due to their marketing support and their commitment to the industry, even though they don’t have the super skinny ones yet.
What they lack in a wide product selection, they do make up for in quality, and they exclusively offer the two-piece designs, where you get a new atomizer in every single cartridge.
We like their site, they seem to have plenty of units in stock, and they do ship very quickly from the US. I’ve spoken with their owner on the phone, and for my money, they’re my #1 vendor of choice.

Blue Cigs – My personal favorite
(No two piece units are available yet)
Blu Cigs is about the hippest coolest website, and biggest marketing money behind ‘em.
I was impressed with the look of their website, and the speed at which they responded to my inquiry, AND the whole concept of a portable charger for the electronic cigarette batteries, so I bought one and did a Blu ecig review of my own.
The obvious downside would be their older three piece style, but at $59 and the portable charger, sealed caertridges and two batteries, they’re the best of the many I’ve seen!
Luci
(No two piece units are available yet)
Luci has been around for quite a while, and was one of the earliest vendors. At this time, they’re ambitiously pursuing marketing channels, and they do seem to be in it for the long haul.
They offer a quality product, and ship quickly from the U.S. but they haven’t got live phone help and they’re not yet offering the two-piece devices. Personally, not my choice, but they are one pf the best selling brands, so we’ll keep ‘em in here for now.
