Totally Wicked provides a suite of electronic cigarettes, e liquids and all of the accessories that you need both on their website and at their stores. A good portion of their stores are in our back yard so we decided to pay them a visit and get the scoop on their products. Upon speaking with one of their sales associates we were directed to the Tornado Ego-C Mega Twist Starter Kit. We were told that this is their bestselling model (at the store that we were at), and that we should give it a try. The device looked sturdy, most of the sales associates were using the battery that came in the kit as their personal, and the price was reasonable, so we picked one up for a review.

What We Loved

The variable voltage battery lets you choose how much vapor you get, and it really works!

Smooth consistent vapor output.

The price. At $50 this e cig is very affordable, and provides value for your hard earned money.

What We Didn’t Like

The 3 piece atomizer should have a better tank, if not be turned into a single piece design altogether.

Full Totally Wicked eGo-C Mega Twist Review

While all of the branding on the device reps Totally Wicked, the hardware itself is made by Joyetech. Totally Wicked chose Joyetech’s eGo-C Mega VV Twist battery, combined it with the basic eGo-C atomizer, and put it out as their device. As you can see from the name they do not keep the fact that they source hardware from Joyetech a secret.

The battery itself is our favorite part of the device. You can change the vapor output by adjusting the voltage at the base of the battery. You get your choice of anywhere between 3.2 and 4.8 volts. Our battery is their 1000 mAh version, they make a 650 but we recommend the larger option. The dial is easy to use, however the print is very small so be sure to choose your voltage when you have time to pay attention, as opposed to doing it behind the wheel or in the dark. You really do notice a difference in output as you adjust the voltage, so this factor isn’t just a gimmick. We mostly vaped at 4.0 volts. Pumping the device up to 4.8 volts delivered more vapor but proved to be a bit harsh, while vaping at under 4.0 volts didn’t give us the throat hit that we like. The battery lasted for two days between charges and delivered consistently. We see why Totally Wicked looked to eGo for this device, as the battery itself is awesome. We will likely reuse it with other atomizers in the future.

The atomizer is comprised of three pieces: the atomizer body, atomizer head unit and atomizer tank. The body is built out of metal and should last forever with proper care. The atomizer head units will need to be changed out every month or two depending upon how much you use the device. Right now you can pick up a five pack of replacements online for $22.79. Not a bad deal but you do need to know up front that this kit will require more than just replacement liquid in the future. Even though the atomizer heads run out, they worked just fine for the two weeks that we vaped for the review. Where we did have an issue was the atomizer tanks that come with the kit (you get 3). They are made of plastic and don’t match the steel aesthetic of the device. Also, if you need to replace the head unit while there is still liquid in the tank things can get a little messy. As this will feasibly happen, we do have to take some points away from this starter kit due to their choice of atomizer. The tanks work just fine but we’d like to see a the quality of the atomizer match the quality of the battery. All in all we prefer one-piece atomizers, as they are generally cheaper to replace and require virtually no maintenance. Replacing all three pieces of this atomizer will put you back at least $25, and that’s if you catch sales. You’d still end up with the less than desirable tank, so if you do get the kit we recommend purchasing a completely different atomizer when it comes time. You will have the option of finding different atomizers from either Totally Wicked or Joyetech, so you have plenty of choices.

The Verdict

We give the Totally Wiced eGo-C Mega Twist Starter Kit 4 out of five stars. It’s a great intro piece for new vapers as it’s well built and the cost is very reasonable. Outside of our issues with the atomizer we loved the device. If you already have a tank that fits the battery we would definitely recommend purchasing the battery alone. If not, check out the starter kit on Totally Wicked’s site. You get: 1 variable voltage battery, 1 atomizer body, 2 replacement atomizer heads, 3 tanks, a USB charger, and 10 ml of e liquid in either tobacco or menthol.

Depending upon who you ask, mods are the future for vapor. 7’s seems to think that there’s some truth to this statement, which they made evident with the release of their Hybrid Vision vaping device. The Hybrid Vision is pretty much your standard mod. They opted to call it a “hybrid” because you can use both the refillable chamber (a clearomizer, except this one happens not to be clear) or replacement cartomizers. This gives the device some added versatility, and allows you to keep backup e juice or carts around in case you run out. 7’s is pushing the mod based on its output, claiming that it delivers maximum vapor. We put the Hybrid Vision to the test ourselves to see what we thought.

The Hardware

The Hybrid is a well-built device. It has a metal base, but is covered with a synthetic material that makes it smooth to the touch. With the exception of the 7’s logo the device is all black, which gives it a nice sleek look. Overall it is average size for a mod, maxing out at 6 inches with the clearomizer attached, and was easy to toss in a pocket and carry around for the day. Definitely avoid putting it in your back pocket, storing it in between car seats or anything similar. It is a well-built device but does not seem sturdy enough to hold up to that type of “hard” use for long. (Most devices aren’t, they do make sturdier mods but you’re looking at a different design altogether there). We haven’t had any issues with the device losing its charge too quickly, it lasted almost 2 days of average vaping, which is a plus. If you’re looking for our definition of average, the author of this post used to smoke a pack a day and vapes at about the same pace. All in all the Hybrid is a great looking, durable device.

Vapor and Output

7’s advertises that the Hybrid is huge on output, stating that it can deliver 3.5 times the vapor as their standard electronic cigarettes. While this may be true we don’t like to compare mods to e cigs, we like to compare mods to mods. We used 7’s Regular tobacco and blueberry liquids (the Hybrid Vision starter kit comes with 2 flavors). In vapor output we honestly feel that the Hybrid falls short. You can pull a nice drag, but it takes effort. We loaded it up with another e juice to give it a more thorough test (Johnson Creek’s Domestic Tobacco, big fan of that one) and got the same results. We’ve vaped that particular e liquid out of other mods and gotten huge clouds, so it appears that the issue is with the Hybrid itself. It does deliver considerably more vapor than any e cig, but not as much as we want from a mod. If you are in to devices with heavy throat hit this isn’t the one for you. To be fair it would be a good option for someone looking for an average to mild vape. On the bright side the Hybrid was extremely consistent. We got the same amount of vapor with the same amount of effort on every drag. No breaks in output when we vaped were experienced at all. That consistency cues a sturdy design.

The Verdict

The Hybrid is a good, but not great option for your next vaping device in our opinion. The aesthetics are awesome. We also appreciate that you can use the cone tip that comes with the Hybrid to use carts from other manufacturers. Gotta love a device that doesn’t pin you to one brand of juice. In spite of that we would look at other devices if we were sticking to just one main piece, and seek out something that delivers more vapor per drag. The device isn’t all bad, we just like lots of vapor when we pull out a mod. You can check out the Hybrid for yourself on 7’s website. Right now you can pick up a starter kit with accessories for under $80,which is very reasonable from a price standpoint. We give it 3.5/5 stars, but will look into other mods by 7’s based on their design work. Let us know how you feel by rating the Hybrid Vision via the five-star rating system below.

About a year ago we took a look at Eon Smoke, a New Jersey based electronic cigarette manufacturer. We liked their products and some of the programs that they were offering smokers who wanted to make the switch. This brand has grown considerably in the past year so we decided to put together a fresh Eon Smoke review for 2013.

The Hardware

Eon Smoke is still using a reliable two piece design, the standard battery and cartomizer setup. They have both automatic and manual batteries available, like other brands the automatic gives you more vapor per hit. If you are new to the brand and opt for one of their starter kits you will get automatic batteries, manuals are available for purchase individually and in a range of colors. We would like to see them offer manuals in their starter kits, as having to buy more accessories up front is a bit of a pain. Right now replacement batteries are available for $14.95, which is about  average for a decent replacement battery. We feel that we got bigger drags from some other brands, so we can honestly only asses their battery strength as being average. That’s not necessarily a knock, we put their vapor capacity on par with other big names like Blu and NJoy. The batteries charge in a short amount of time and hold the voltage as well as anyone else’s offering. We charge on a nightly basis regularly, but we got nearly two full days of vaping when we used the e cig until the battery died. The cartomizers screw on easily and hold until all of the e juice is gone. This seems like a moot point but we’ve had issues with the two piece design put out by some of the lower quality brands. Overall they have good, not great, quality hardware. Their vaping devices are sturdy but long term use would likely send you back to their website to purchase replacement batteries after several months. While this is currently the norm, advancements in design have produced extremely sturdy devices from other brands that we have tested.

Vapor and Flavor

Eon Smoke offers fifteen different flavors of e juice. They formally have one option for regular tobacco and one for menthol; however their President and Wrangler flavors will appeal to those in search of a regular tobacco substitute, while menthol lovers should take a vape or two of their Mint and Frost offerings. The President (very full bodied flavor) was our favorite when it came to regular tobacco, while we would go with the Mint (nice and smooth with plenty of flavor) for a menthol substitute. We enjoyed seeing and vaping the Apple and Grape offerings. Not every company includes these flavors in their fruity e juices, and both were a solid change of pace from traditional flavors. The only two flavors we didn’t like were Mojito and Coffee. The coffee wasn’t robust (in our humble opinion) and was a little too much on the sweet side. With the amount of coffee options out there we think their team should take a second look at this flavor. The Mojito wasn’t terrible (full disclosure: we’re not big on most of the cocktail flavored flavors out there no matter who makes them), but we wouldn’t be able to vape it for days on end. Eon Smoke doesn’t have formal claims on how long their cartridges last, but we put them in line with other brands at being between a pack and a half and two full packs of analog smokes. One thing that does stick out about Eon’s e juices is that they offer a 30MG nicotine concentration option with every flavor. This is a huge amount of nicotine and dwarfs the offerings from many other brands. All in all they have six different levels, from 0MG to 30MG, which allows you to pick the exact amount of nicotine that you prefer. Most brands limit your selection to three, maybe four levels.

The Verdict

Overall Eon Smoke puts out a solid product. Their pricing is a bit higher than some of the other brands out there, but not outrageous. The hardware is good, but Eon Smoke really stands out with their flavor offerings. We liked, if not loved, all but a couple of the flavors. On top of that we really appreciate a brand that offers so many nicotine level options. This helps everyone find the perfect juice, with the perfect concentration of nicotine. It is also great for those who want to quit nicotine altogether, the ability to gradually reduce your intake is extremely helpful. Feel free to share your thoughts on Eon Smoke with us in the comment section. For more information you can check them out online.

Well known for their line of inexpensive cigars and cigarillos, Swisher International  offers a line of electronic cigarettes that are available at select retailers around the nation. We put the E Swisher brand to the test for our latest review.

Hardware

In going with the standard E Swisher puts out two-piece rechargeable electronic cigarettes, consisting of a lithium battery and a cartomizer with a soft plastic tip. The device itself is on the small side for an electronic cigarette, measuring about 3 ½ inches in length. While it is a little smaller, E Swisher packs enough power in the battery to produce as much vapor per drag as any device currently on the market. They don’t disclose how strong their battery is, but we would estimate that it at least puts out 3.2 volts based upon our experience with the product. The devices delivered solid vapor and did not need to be recharged any more than any other product out there. (We tend to charge overnight on a daily basis to ensure that we don’t run out during the day.) We didn’t have any issues with cheap hardware when screwing and unscrewing cartomizers onto the battery; we make sure to do this multiple times a day to see how the devices handle heavy use. The carts are said to deliver around 400 puffs or the equivalent of two packs of tobacco cigarettes. They were pretty dead on here. At this point most of the major manufacturers have worked out this factor. If you come across a brand that falls short here it is a sure sign of a poorly built device, and that you should keep on keeping on. Overall E Swisher did a great job sourcing their hardware; it is sturdy and delivers both amply and consitently. The size of the device may be an issue for some, as a 3 ½ inch e cig can be hard to find in a pocket or purse that is filled with other things that you need while on the go. Other than that the quality of the devices themselves is very high.

Vapor and Flavor

E Swisher gives you three flavor options to choose from: Menthol Breeze, Natural Smooth Tobacco and Sweet Essence. The first two are traditional cigarette flavors, while Sweet Essence was developed to mimic the taste of Swisher’s popular Sweet Cigars and Cigarillos. They definitely went for a full bodied flavor with their menthol. Many companies who only have one menthol offering tend to go with a mild or medium-bodied e juice, but not E Swisher. The menthol should be enough to satisfy those who are looking to recreate the robustness of a full bodied tobacco cigarette. The Traditional Tobacco has a little less body than the menthol. It might be suitable for those who want as much flavor as possible, but would be best for those who want to mimic the flavor profile of a ”light” tobacco cigarette. We were most impressed with their Sweet Essence. As this is the signature flavor in their tobacco offerings, it’s no surprise that they spent more time on developing this e juice. From a flavor standpoint vaping a Sweet Essence is as close to smoking a comparable tobacco product as we have come across. You get the full bodied cigar flavor and the sweetness associated with Swisher’s analog offering. E Swisher even labels the Sweet Essence as being an electronic cigar due to its efforts in recreating this flavor for the vapor world.

There are two nicotine concentrations available, 12 and 18 mg. This gives you the option of mimicking a “light” or a “full” tobacco cigarette. We would like to see a nicotine free option released, so this is one place that E Swisher can make an improvement. They report that their e juices are all made in the U.S.A., which we like to see from a quality standpoint. Overall their e juice delivers a solid vape. While some additional flavors would be nice, E Swisher does put out a product that can compete with the big names.

Starter Kits

E Swisher goes no-frills all the way. They offer one basic starter kit, and sell refill cartomizers in three packs. They have a full line of disposables available if you want to give them a try, or are in a pinch while you are out and about.

E Swisher Rechargeable Kit

• 1 lithium ion battery
• 1 USB charger
• 1 cartomizer; your choice of flavor and nicotine level

E Swisher does not sell their products on their website right now, but their e cigs are available on many other websites and at retailers across the country. You can visit them online to find out more about their products and to find a retailer near you. We have seen them at multiple gas stations and convenience stores, and expect to see them popping up at more and more retailers soon. From a price standpoint they are inexpensive for the quality that they deliver. Starter Kits run around $20 (currently) and you can pick up a disposable for as little as $6 right now. It’s god to see a big name helping to bring down the prices of quality electronic cigarettes. Overall they are worth giving a try if you are on the hunt for another brand of vapor.

There are lots of vaping devices out there that are designed to accommodate the preferences of every vaper. Our latest electronic cigarette review finds us putting the G2 from Revolver Electronic Cigarettes to the test. The G2 is touted as being an e cig designed for the vaper, or smoker looking to make the switch, that wants a heavy throat hit when they partake. Throat hit is an important factor, as some who switch from traditional cigarettes to electronic cigarettes report that they need the feel of smoking along with the vapor to be fully satisfied. To be honest a lot of veteran vapers still want throat hit to be a factor, and that is where Revolver stepped in.

The Hardware

The G2 is your basic two piece design consisting of a battery and a cartomizer. (Revolver does still have a three piece design where the cartridge and the atomizer are spate pieces but who needs the extras? Not us.) In order to ensure that the G2 lives up to its promise of huge throat hits Revolver outfitted it with a battery that puts out between 3.7 and 4.2 volts. This is considerably more voltage that most electronic cigarette batteries offer, as many on the market top out at about 3.7 volts. In our testing the G2 surely does deliver more vapor per puff. In fact, if you have become completely used to using standard e cigs you might need a few puffs to acclimate yourself to this much throat hit. It wasn’t too much by any means, but this e cig surely does deliver more vapor per puff than your standard device. Each cartomizer is estimated to produce about 300 puffs or the equivalent of a pack and a half of traditional smokes. This claim held true even with the increased amount of vapor that the G2 delivers, which is a good thing. We weren’t sure if the larger battery would burn through the e juice more quickly before we tested the device, and were quite pleased to see that it did not. If you opt for the beefed up starter kit, or don’t mind buying an accessory separately, the G2 has a charging carrying case available. In our test we went for two days without plugging in due to having the case. It is a great option for heavy vapers or those who have a tendency to forget to plug in at night. The case is made of a durable plastic and seems as if it will hold up for a good amount of time, our test only lasted a week so we didn’t truly get to test the durability of the case itself. The G2 is available in an automatic or manual version. We tried out the automatic which worked perfectly for us without having to activate the device in order to vape. All in all Revolver is using solid hardware for the G2, we don’t see any quality issues arising from cheap parts with this e cig.

Vapor and Flavor

Revolver has a full line of flavors available. We always start off with traditional tobacco flavors and then branch out. If you do too then Revolver has three options for you: Tobacco Red, Tobacco Gold and RY 4. We liked the Red and the Gold and feel that G2 did a great job blending these juices. The RY 4 is said to be a blend of tobacco and caramel. While it certainly did have a sweet taste that added a nice twist, we wouldn’t say that the caramel flavor was that apparent. It’s a good option for those who like traditional tobacco flavors and want to try something new, but those who want caramel probably won’t be satisfied. Aside from traditional tobacco you can fill the G2 with: Menthol, Cappuccino, Wild Cherry, Cool Berry Blue, Strawberry and Vanilla flavored vapor.  We didn’t get to taste the Vanilla, but all of the other flavors can stand up to anything that’s out there on the market. Other manufacturers offer a wider variety of Menthol flavors, but Revolver does provide a medium bodied, well-balanced Menthol if that is what you are looking for. (If you want a heavy menthol flavor you may be disappointed, but we still liked the offering from Revolver) The more exotic flavors were also good, the Cool Bery Blue stuck out as a favorite. One great ting that Revolver does do is sell refillable clearomizers. This way you can stick with the G2, but still explore other brands and flavors of e juice that are out there.

Starter Kits

The G2 has two starter kit options. One is a no frills, get straight to the point option. The other sets you up to vape with the G2 for the long term. Both are reasonably priced as electronic cigarettes go, they run on the low end of average compared to how much other brands charge. Check out their starter kits and visit Revolver online for more information.

NJOY is one of the biggest brands of electronic cigarettes available in the United States. You can find them both online and in a multitude of local retailers. They have recently made a big push to get their name out there with a ton of advertising. As it has been a while since we put their products to the test, we wanted to revisit their e cigs for our latest review to see if they had made any changes.

The Hardware

For this review we used rechargeable NJOY e cigarettes. While we have had good experiences with their disposables in the past, dedicated vapers use rechargeables most of the time so we focused our review here. NJOY chooses to keep their hardware simple. They offer one size battery that is capable of producing 3.6 volts. This is enough power to give you plenty of vapor per puff. In our test we were happy with the vapor output. It was enough to satisfy our yearning for a good vape without being overbearing. The cartomizers are standard size for the industry. Refill cartomizer packs come in quantities of 5. NJOY says that each 5-pack is equivalent to about a carton of cigarettes, meaning that each individual cartomizer equals about two packs of traditional smokes. We found these claims to be correct. If anything they are just shy of their two pack claim, however we often take big drags when we vape, which will reduce the amount of vapor from any brand. Their charging options are also very standard. The Express Kit that NJOY currently offers comes with a standard USB charger. While they do offer a Universal Charger which allows you to recharge with a wall plug or in your vehicle, this device must be purchased separately. It would make for a great purchase if you find that NJOY is going to be your brand, but we would like to see this option included with the starter kit as chargers are such necessary components to vaping.

Vapor and Flavor

If you choose to go with the rechargeable you have two flavor options from NJOY: Traditional Tobacco or Menthol. NJOY did a great job developing the flavors. They both give you what you are looking for in the two most popular flavors out there. One issue that we do have is that they offer more flavors with their disposable electronic cigarettes. We would definitely like to see these additional flavors offered in cartomizer refills and not just in the disposables. We have tried the Traditional Gold flavor offered in the disposable in the past and it is extremely close to the flavor of one of the most popular tobacco cigarettes out there. We’ll let you compare the packaging to see which one we mean. The flavors offered in replaceable cartomizers can stand up against tobacco or menthol offerings from anyone else, but with all of the options that we have from others we would like to see NJOY make some additions. They do offer three nicotine levels: 0.6%, 1.2% and 1.8% so that you can choose the vapor that is right for you, and even ween yourself off of nicotine if you choose.

The Bottom Line

Overall NJOY makes a fantastic electronic cigarette. Their hardware is well built and reliable, and their flavors are well put together. The option to buy refills both online and in a local retailer makes them easy to get a hold of when you run out. We would like to see some more batteries and flavors released, but what they do offer is top notch. The pricing is affordable, their Express Kit shown below is currently just $21.99 which gives you good value as e cig pricing goes. At the current time they are even offering a free disposable (you pay the shipping) to anyone who wants to give their brand a try. As they are an industry leader we expect that they will introduce additional flavors and accessories in the future. No promises there, but it only makes sense that an electronic cigarette manufacturer with their experience and capabilities would eventually beef up their product offerings. Visit them online for more information or to pick up your starter kit. Then get in on the conversation by rating them via our 5 star rating system or leaving us a comment below.

Starter Kits

The Express Kit is a no frills starter kit, but it gives you everything that you need at a very reasonable price. It comes with:

• 1 rechargeable battery
• 1 5-pack of refill cartomizers in either Traditional Tobacco or Menthol flavor
• 1 USB charger
• 1 NJOY User Manual

Every once in a while a disposable electronic cigarette is exactly what you need. Maybe you ran out of juice for your mod or forgot your rechargeable at home. Perhaps you’re a tobacco smoker who just bought a brand new car and you don’t want to stink it up. Whatever the reason, it’s good to know which disposable e cigs you can rely on for a good vape. In that spirit we have been trying out some disposables to see how well they fare.

Today we have some feedback on 21^st Century Disposable Electronic Cigarettes. We have seen this brand popping up at more and more retailers in the area recently. It’s right there next to the disposable offerings from already popular brands like Blu and NJoy. It’s also priced the same as these proven brands. We made two separate purchases, at two separate stores, paying $9.99 a piece for 21st Century Disposables that report to be equivalent to two packs of analogs. We purchased one tobacco flavored disposable and one menthol flavored version to get a full idea of how their most traditional flavor offerings stack up.  Sadly, we have to report that our experience with 21^st Century has been sub-par up to this point. In both instances we opened the packaging, removed the plastic safety tips from either end of the e cig, and took a full smooth drag to get our first impression of the device. In both instances we found that we had purchased a faulty device. Neither disposable delivered a single drag of vapor, literally nothing. The tip did not light up, the cartomizer did not put out any vapor, the silicon draw tip even fell off. Clearly 21 Century is putting cost over quality when they build their disposables.

Honestly speaking we are a bit reluctant to have to report this. We like to be advocates for the vapor community and prefer to keep a positive tone in our e cig reviews. However, it is our policy to provide vapers and those considering electronic cigarettes with honest feedback, so in the end we felt that we had to share our story. We want others to know which brands really put out the best electronic cigarettes, and which still need some R&D. We have contacted 21st Century via the customer service email provided on their website. We have not heard back from them yet (it has been 2 business days, to us that’s more than enough time to have received at least an automated response), but will be happy to update this post in the event that we do. Upon searching their website we found that they do offer a 90 day warranty on all of their vapor products. In our case we would be required to pay to have the devices shipped to Wisconsin, from Florida, to be evaluated by the team at 21^st Century. If they deem the products to be defective, which they clearly are, we would then receive replacements. Our issue with this from a consumer standpoint is that we paid $9.99 for the disposables. It would cost nearly that much to purchase packaging and ship them back, and then we would have to wait for a response. While we will likely do this to put their customer service to the test, that nearly doubles the price of the devices. Let’s be honest, price is one of the great things about electronic cigarettes so this isn’t really worth it.

We would love to hear about your experiences with the brand. Feel free to leave a comment below. If you vape 21^st Century products and have not had an issue, we would like for other vapers who visit our site to get a full review of these e cigs. If you are interested in 21^st Century, you can visit them online to get a better view of their products. Normally if a disposable is good we do what we can to get a hold of more products for a full review. At this point we will likely not be doing that with 21^st Century Electronic Cigarettes without a significant change or a wealth of positive feedback. There are simply too many brands out there to waste time on the ones that sell faulty hardware.

Here at CigaretteReviws.org we spend a lot of time reviewing traditional electronic cigarettes. We love this type of vaping device for many reasons, but we also want to cover a broader spectrum of the available products out there. With that in mind we were very excited to have the opportunity to review the Vapor Zeus from Vapor 4 Life. The Vapor Zeus is a relatively new offering that gives vapor aficionados a larger, more powerful device.

This vaping device is more on par with most vapor mods than it is with your average electronic cigarette. It is larger and has the option of holding considerably more e liquid than an e cig. It could be argued that the Vapor Zeus is an electronic cigar, but to be honest we prefer to call it a vapor mod. When compared to the smaller e cigs on the market it is huge, but this size scales down quickly when compared to e cigs outfitted with longer life batteries or to larger vapor mods. In the end it is definitely bigger, but keep in mind that the larger battery means hours of extra vaping in between charges.

The Hardware

Upon opening the package our first impression of the Vapor Zeus was summed up in one single word, “wow”. Vapor 4 Life did a great job of developing an eye catching device. Even some of our friends who are not in to traditional e cigs took notice when they were shown the Zeus. Many mods out there appear to be bulky or overly mechanical in appearance. The Vapor Zeus is a streamlined cylinder that is finished with a smooth to the touch material. The one that we got our hands on is finished with the brown cigar pattern, however you can purchase the exact same product in black if you prefer. We like the look and feel of the cigar model a lot.

The Zeus is a three piece device consisting of a battery (which packs a whopping 5 volts of power), a cartomizer which they call a smileomizer (available in both 3.5 and 6 ml sizes) and a metal draw tip. In total the Vapor Zeus is 6 and 3/4 inches long when fully put together, we have it pictured here alongside an EverSmoke electronic cigarette outfitted with a high capacity battery for perspective. E liquid is easily loaded into the cartomizer. You do need to give it a minute or two to settle before you use the device, but once you have done this it works flawlessly. If you already smoke Vapor 4 Life electronic cigarettes, or if you prefer to purchase pre-filled e cig cartomizers from the company they also work with the Zeus. This factor makes the Zeus a little more appealing as you have multiple ways to enjoy vapor with the device in the event that you run out of either pre-filled cartomizers or e liquid. All in all the device works very well and was easy to use.

You will need multiple smilomizers if you want to enjoy more than one flavor of vapor. Vapor 4 Life currently offers over 100 different flavor options, which makes them one of the manufacturers  with the broadest selection out there. Buying extra smilomizers does make the device a bit more expensive, however if you commit to using the Zeus regularly it won’t break the bank as the smilomozers are well built and last a long time. As of the release of this review Vapor 4 Life charges between $6 and $7.50 per smilomizer depending upon how many you buy.

User Experience

Overall the Vapor Zeus is a great device. The battery charges in a few hours and really does last up to twelve hours as the manufacturer claims. We tested the automatic version of the Zeus. It delivers huge amounts of vapor without any effort on your part, certainly more than any traditional electronic cigarette that we have reviewed in the past. E liquid can be loaded quickly, and even the smaller smilomizer allows you to fill enough e juice to vape for hours. In our test a fully filled smilomizer lasted two to three days before needing to be refilled, even though the device was heavily used. The hardware was built well so it is a sturdy device, however we were reluctant to take it on trips that would have the device outdoors in the rain (we are in Florida). We would treat any mod this way and are in the habit of keeping electronic cigarettes around for day trips in order to keep from damaging mods which cost considerably more to replace.  We never had any major issues with the Zeus and plan to use it in the future even when we will have other devices to put to the test.

Now that you have heard the good there are a couple of things that might be hindrance to some users. Really only two things (we genuinely enjoyed reviewing the Zeus). First is the size. If you are used to regular e cigs, or want something small then you may find the Zeus to be a bit bulky. It’s definitely smaller than a lot of the other mods that we see out there, but the size will take an e cig user a day or two to adjust to. It does fit into pant pockets and purses easily so you can use it on the go, but the larger size will be a drawback for some. Secondly the Zeuss makes some noise when the atomizer heats the vapor. It isn’t incredibly loud but it is surely louder than any e cig that we have reviewed. Again, if you are looking for a mod this won’t be the end of the world as many vapor mods make noise. To be honest the noise is not overbearingly loud, but it is noticeable and we like to report on the full spectrum of any product that we take a look at.

In the end we give the Vapor Zeus a thumbs up. Great hardware, flavor options for days, and reasonable pricing (starter kits are as low as $89.96 right now and they come with e liquid) are generally all we need to fall in love with a vapor device. The Vapor Zeus is a welcomed addition to our collection of e cigs and other vaping devices. Visit Vapor 4 Life online to find out more about this device and their extensive line of e juice flavors.
