About This Site
Hello, my name is Alex, I am a happy father of twins and would like to be a role model for my boys. I have been a passionate smoker for over twenty years and I really enjoyed smoking an average of a pack a day or more, no longer smoking analog cigarettes has been a great achievement for me. Please feel free to visit my review blog, where you will find the latest e-cigarette news, information and innovations. All of the reviews posted on this site are based on my personal and some close friends experiences who have switched to e-cigs also known as vapor cigarettes. More importantly, this e-cig blog is aimed to help clearing things up and make a better-informed decision as a lot of people get confused about which brands offer the best and which one’s don’t.
Let me start by saying that I have been a two pack a day smoker for over 30 years. Soon after I got married my happy smokers’ life has totally changed. My beautiful wife forbade me to smoke inside and I had to do it in our garage. After she gave birth to our twins she set up some rules for me and I had to wash hands, brush my teeth and even change my cloths after each smoking. Furthermore she threatened me with divorce if I’ll continue with my habit. My last straw was a recent huge tax increase on cigarettes. Unlike many others I determined that I would give the government no more of my tax money from cigarettes for them to waste.
I have tried to quit several times with no success! I have tried the gum, patches, pills…everything and nothing helped me kick the habit. Needless to say I always hear about e-cigs but never seriously looked into it until one of my co-workers brought one in the office, I was very skeptical, but he put a new filter on it and let me take a few drags. I was completely amazed. It tasted like analog and I couldn’t believe it! I decided that I would go home and research this further. I have been researching e-cigarettes for the past 6 months and tried some different brands and manufacturers of the electronic cigarettes, and as with anything else, some work well, others don’t. However it became clear that a product that delivers a vapor of nicotine, propylene glycol, and flavoring ingredients was by far the better choice when compared with the veritable laundry list of ingredients found in tobacco smoke.
Understanding that not all e cigarette brands are equal I have decided to share my e cigarette reviews and help first time e-cigs smokers to find the best electronic cigarette available on the market. Keep in mind, that the best electronic cigarette for you may not be the best electronic cigarette for someone else as everyone has different smoking preferences, and each person has a diffe
rent budget. It’s all in good taste, and there is no right or wrong answer. It’s truly up to you.

I hate spam too, so, to avoid it, registration is required. Sorry for inconvenience. But it takes 30 seconds only. 
Thanks Alex. It’s the least I could do since it was mostly info from you that helped me make more informed decisions and arrive at a brand I’m very happy with.
Great site with lots of information. I am considering purchasing an e cigs. I do have a couple questions I’m hoping you would be able to answer for me. I live in Quebec, Canada. Have you heard of any shipping problems across the boarder? I am hoping to get cartridges with nicotine. Thanks for your thoughts.
I have read that e cigarettes are not legal for sale in Canada, but I KNOW for a fact that many readers are from Canada (I look at IP’s from time to time)
I think the companies are versed in how to code the product in order to get it through customs without an issue.
I cant believe that after all these years, I’ve finally found a way to quit smoking and your blog helped me to choose e cig most suitable for me. Yo are doing great job Alex! Thank you.
I purchased my Bull Smoke Kit based on your review. I love that I can now smoke whenever and wherever I want!
Have you heard about e-cigarette blow up? It exploded in man’s mouth causing serious injury. Do you know what was the brand he used?
Yes I have heard about this man from Florida and I am really sad that this accident discredited all e cig brands including high quality ones. Unfortunately I could not find the name of the brand he used but I am sure this was a freak accident. It was either an automatic battery that the liquid was leaking into for a while or an old battery that may have been getting warm for a little while now or a battery that may have being dropped multiple times over its lifetime. Batteries are used for many things from power tools to children’s toys. People must read the warnings on the packages for each product and use them cautiously.
This poor guy in Florida was most likely using a homemade or modified personal vaporizing device – not an electronic cigarette. Be smart…dont buy cheap batteries or cheap devices.
All reports have indicated it was an electronic cigar mod of some kind. One thing that is a fact was that it was an electronic cigar mod NOT an electronic cigarette.
I started smoking at around 19 years old. Tried everything to quit with no luck. Both my wife and I haven’t smoked a cigarette since we got these things! I feel 1000 times healthier and we save a lot of money. I don’t know what’s going on in the minds of the politicians? Why they want to ban electronic cigarettes???!!!
I am just as puzzled as you are, as that doesn’t really make any sense.
In my opinion, the only reason that e-cigarettes are receiving so much heat lately is the amount of pull the tobacco industry has over the federal and local government. If a senator is receiving money from a tobacco lobbyist, he will do anything in his power to ensure that big tobacco’s profits aren’t touched. It’s getting ridiculous. They say they want you to quit smoking but they love that tax money. Most of the anti-smokers I’ve met aren’t bothered by electronic cigarettes since they don’t smell, which is I think is the real issue for most people.
I always enjoy your reviews Alex, thanks!
Must say I’m quite impressed with your review site! I have smoked Marlboros for 29 years. Due to some health conditions had to make the switch from traditional cigarettes to e-smoking. I am now “smoking” the e-premium equivalent – Mal-boro. I am very pleased with the product. I read your review prior to ordering. Thank you!
My hubby started using e-cigs about two months ago and has had great success. No more coughing, his breathing is better and no longer gets winded after walking. All this after just a few weeks. I am really happy!
Hi, Alex! I have haerd that FDA did a review and found some e-cigs contained anti-freeze… what do you know about this? is this true?
That is a scare rumor based on a partial truth. One of the primary ingredients used in e cigarettes is propylene glycol, which is used in a NON-toxic anti freeze. It is also approved by the FDA for use as a food additive, and it is also used in a million things that we all use every day like cosmetics, medicines, toothpaste, shampoo, mouth wash, hair care and other stuff.
Alex, please answer if you know. Is it possible to use an Electronic Cigarette on a commercial flight? I will be travelling soon to Cyprus and would like to know if it is permitted to use my electronic cigarette on board.
Technically and legally it is not a problem. There is no legal reason within the EU to stop you using them but I believe the USA authorities are trying to ban them. Electronic cigarettes are considered a portable electronic devices and are subject to the relevant legislation. I would advise contacting your airline to clarify the situation. Just because the law permits you to carry them on board, the airline is under no obligation to allow you to carry them and may still refuse. I have seen e cigs offered for sale on board Ryanair flights but other airlines may have different rules.
I was once on an aircraft where a man was smoking an e-cigarette, and she was asked to… “put it out”, as cabin crew thought it was real
