The winner (chosen randomly by Rafflecopter) is LITTLE HOUSE! Thanks to all who participated in the giveaway!
Disclosure: I received a free Vapor4Life kit in order to try the product for the purpose of this review. The winner of the giveaway will also receive a free kit. However, as always, this review contains my real opinions, not a bunch of crap I’m “supposed” to say.
The Review
When Vapor4Life approached me about reviewing their e-cigarette, I was super excited. I’ve been trying (unsuccessfully) to quit smoking for several years, and while e-cigarettes are NOT a smoking cessation device, they are a great alternative to tobacco cigarettes.
What are E-Cigarettes?
E-cigarettes, or electronic cigarettes, use replaceable cartridges to heat up a solution of nicotine and flavoring. The vapor from an e-cigarette has no odor, leaves no film or residue on surfaces, and helps smokers get a nicotine fix without offending others. Also, e-cigarettes save smokers anywhere from 50-70% each month when compared to the cost of tobacco cigarettes.
What’s in the box?
I received a base kit with 2 batteries, 5 of the cartomizers I selected (equivalent to a carton or so of tobacco cigarettes), a carrying case, a wall charger, and a USB battery that can be used while plugged in. I especially love the carrying case because I hate just sticking an e-cigarette inside my purse.
Why is Vapor4Life Different?
I have tried several e-cigarette brands, but none of them offer the selection that Vapor4Life offers. Honestly, I was a little overwhelmed by all the different choices at first, but the information on the website helped me make a decision. If you’re looking for variety, Vapor4Life is definitely your brand.
CoolCart Cartomizers vs. WOW Vapor Cartomizers
The first choice to make is the type of cartomizer (the cartridge that screws onto the battery). The CoolCart cartomizers remain cool to the touch while you are “vaping” or using the e-cigarette, and they produce less vapor. The WOW Vapor cartomizers heat up and can become warm to the touch, producing a thicker, warmer vapor. I chose the CoolCart cartomizers, and I kind of wish I had opted for the WOW Vapor cartomizers instead. The fact that the cartomizer didn’t heat up made it feel less like smoking (for me).
Flavors
Both types of cartomizers come in multiple flavors: beverages (beer, tequila, margarita, etc.), coffee, dessert (black licorice, caramel apple, etc.), menthol, fruit (cherry, pineapple, banana, etc.), or tobacco. While I opted for traditional tobacco flavor, I also received some samples of the fruit and dessert-flavored cartomizers. They were surprisingly good! For everyday use, I think most people would stick to tobacco or menthol, but the other flavors are good for something different every now and then.
Strength
All cartomizers come in strengths ranging from 0mg (super weak) to 36mg (super strong). Since I smoke “light” cigarettes, I chose 18mg - right in the middle. And as with other e-cigarettes, I kind of kicked myself for not ordering stronger ones. For some reason vapor just isn’t as strong as the real thing. Next time I’ll be ordering a higher strength to make the experience a little more accurate.
The Verdict
Pros
- Easy to use/understand
- Tobacco flavor tastes like real tobacco
- A fully charged battery lasts about 2 days
- Don’t have to deal with the liquid solution - the cartomizers are prefilled
- A cartomizer lasts about 2 days (your mileage may vary depending on use)
- USB battery allows me to “vape” even if I forget to charge a battery ahead of time
- Customer service is very responsive and easy to contact
- Carrying case keeps the e-cigarette protected and clean in my purse
- Competitive pricing compared to other brands
Cons
- Choosing cartomizers takes some research
- The supplies aren’t readily available in stores - you have to think ahead and order more
- Cartomizer strength doesn’t always match the strength of comparable tobacco cigarettes
Overall, Vapor4Life e-cigarettes provide a great value for the price. For people who like having complete control of their smoking (or “vaping”) experience, Vapor4Life provides plenty of options to customize your experience and put the tobacco away for good.
