Features of an Electronic Cigarette

If you don't know which electronic cigarette brands to select (also known as e-cigs, electric cigarettes, and mini e-cigs), here is a handy guide to help you out. For starters, let's recap what an electronic cigarette is. E-cigs are battery operated devices which look, taste, and feel like the real deal. Liquid nicotine, stored in a cartridge, turns into a puff of vapor as you 'smoke,' while the LED e-cig tip glows orange when you inhale. Since the nicotine cartridges come in various strengths and are interchangeable, you get to select the amount of nicotine content you want.

When it comes to selecting between brands of these simulated cigarettes, there are several components to consider:
  • Battery and Charger
  • Atomizer
  • Cartridges
  • Construction/Quality
  • Cost
  • Extra Features

The types of features to look for in an e-cig brand include the style ("mini" or "pen style"), number of flavors, number of nicotine levels (i.e. Regular, Light, Ultra Light, Zero, or Full Strength, Half Strength, Minimal Strength), kit size (i.e. a one-, two-, or three-piece electronic cigarette kit), as well as color, trim, and finished look.


The following are some of the popular e-cig brand names you will likely come across in your research: Safe Cig, NJOY cigarette NCIG model, Gamucci, Green Smoke, Red Dragon, Lucky Slick, Blu, Volcano, ProSmoke, V2, Cloud 9, White Cloud, Krave disposable electronic cigarettes from Smoke51, and even e-cigars and e-pipes offered by Premium Electronic Cigarette and others.


Now that you have boned up on the basics, enjoy experimenting with the various electronic cigarette brands as you look for your favorite e-cig.
