E cigarettes are battery operated products designed to replicate smoking behaviour without the use of tobacco. Some look like conventional cigarettes, while others appear more like an electronic device.

They use heat to vaporise a liquid based solution containing nicotine into an aerosol mist and have been proposed as a way to help smokers quit the habit.

They are subject to limited regulation, and are not licensed as a medicine in the UK.

At the BMA’s annual meeting, our members agreed that e cigarettes should be included in the ban on smoking in public places.

Progress in European Parliament

In October 2013, the European Parliament passed a draft law to introduce a raft of measures aimed at curbing tobacco’s appeal to young people, including regulation of e cigarettes.

E cigarette proposals

• E cigarettes would be regulated, but not to the same rules as medicinal products unless they are presented as having curative or preventative properties
• E cigarettes for which no such claims are made should contain no more than 30mg/ml of nicotine, carry health warnings and should not be sold to those aged under 18 years
• Manufacturers and importers would have to supply a list of all ingredients
• E cigarettes would be subject to the same advertising restrictions as tobacco products.

Translation this is a conglomerate of reviews, a virtual library and consensus of minds from near and far, from all walks of life. These are the “mean” reviews, based on a plethora of information. In short, these aren’t slighted by one race, creed, sex, or demographic. Enjoy.

The first review we ever posted online was our Blu Cigs review. This brand is one of the most widely distributed on the market, and is available in places like Walgreens.

If you are looking for the cheapest e cig brand, check out the best brand to get started with by reading the Bull Smoke Review.

This brand sells the SAME or HIGHER quality starter kits but for a lower price. Their model is just basically to acquire customers because they believe in their product line so much. It’s been compared to the top rated electronic cigarette brands and has a serious following due to their amazing customer service, no frills offer (you won’t find much other than batteries and cartridges, but what else do you really need?), and their in your face, rough and tough logo.

Lastly, if you are looking to really get in on the cheap, we’re starting to talk about various disposable e cigs that are sold at gas stations, convenience stores, and more. These electric cigs are the kind you can throw away after you’ve used up all the puffs normally around 250 300. They are great if you forget to bring along your e cig battery or don’t have any way to recharge your electric cigarette battery. Other than that, as mentioned, you can get one for under $10 normally and use it as a way to see if you like smoking e cigs. However, the disposables, at least in our opinion, aren’t as high in quality as regular e cigs sold in starter kits.

A brand that has us screaming for more was just reviewed.
