How To Choose The Best Electronic Cigarette for Yourself

If you are considering switching to electronic cigarette, you must be wondering about how to choose the perfect kit for you. This is a detailed step by step guide which will tell you which features to consider before ordering a starter kit.

There is not definite answer. It all depends on your needs, and your taste. Obviously you will have to stay sure with a few features (like good atomizers or charging options), but when it comes to features like taste and look, you yourself is the ultimate judge.

Looks and Style

The first factor to consider should be the look. Electric cigarettes come in two styles, pen-style and the mini. Some of the e cigarettes are meant to look like tobacco cigarettes, others are meant to look trendy and more stylish. Its upto you whether you want your e cig to mimic a tobacco cigarette, or to look like a trendy little gadget.

Charging Option

Most manufacturers usually provide two charging options - via USB and/or mains electricity. Most of them come with USB adapters which can be attached to a further two pin plug, so you can charge both ways.

Atomizer

This is the part which vaporizes the liquid. You would like to ensure that your model comes with a good atomizer which will last long without needing to be changed. Also, some of the brands feature fresh atomizer with each new cartridge, which probably is the best option.

Cartridges

It is purely a matter of taste. All of the manufacturers offer flavored cartridges, and you should choose your own flavor. However if you want plain tobacco flavored cartridges, you need not worry about the other flavors. And about taste, you yourself is the ultimate decision maker. As we smokers know, people can be very choosy about the taste. The better brands usually offer experiences extremely close to that of tobacco cigarettes'.

Cost

Paying for the starter pack is usually the costliest part of the endeavor. Electronic cigarettes from different manufacturers come at different prices, ranging from $40 to $210. You should remember that you get what you pay for, and when it comes to a habit like smoking, quality attributes for a higher price.

Nicotine Strength

All manufacturers produce cartridges of varying nicotine strengths. You should choose your own level. For this, you should refer to your former habit of smoking tobacco cigarettes. For example, if you had been smoking Marlboro Lights previously, you should order 6 mg cartridges. However, in cases where you are trying to cease or reduce consumption, you can lower the nicotine level.

The chart:
  • 16mg = comparable to non filtered cigarettes
  • 8mg = comparable to 'Full Flavored'
  • 6mg = comparable to 'Lights'
  • 4mg = comparable to 'Ultra Lights'
  • 0mg = cartridges with the flavor but which contain no nicotine at all.

Nicotine Flow

You would want to know whether a particular brand delivers consistent amount of nicotine every puff. There are brands which deliver inconsistent flow of nicotine, ruining the taste and also causing harm to your health. As a rule of thumb, you can rely on the higher end brands, and avoid the non-brands or lesser known brands.
