Green Smoke Review

[Nashy08]

Ok, so I got my green smoke kit today and have been vaping for quite a few hours.

First it was pretty great. It produces a decent amount of vapor, but not as much as I'd like.

As the hours went by my long batt died. It probably lasted about 4-5 hours. I started charging it and went straight to the short batt. It died about 2 hours later while my other was still charging. It was disappointing, but I held up until the other charged, which took about 3-4 hours.

The carts are alright, but get a burnt taste pretty quick, they do last quite a while with heavy vaping though.

So, now the trouble starts. My long batt was finally recharged and the first thing I noticed is it takes a harder drag for the batt to kick up. The batt is also cutting off after about 2 seconds at times. At this point, sometimes it wont even fire up. I have to take a few drags for it to even start. It kind of annoying at the least.

So here's the results so far:

Cart flavour - 4/10
Cart life - 7/10
Battery - 2/10
Vapor - 7/10

Overall - 20/40

To be honest, I don't think I'd recommend this PV. You're mostly paying for the name, which I figured. Thanks for reading!

Edited for an updated review.

Great review, and thanks for sharing.

 

[Nashy08]

Thanks! Glad to share. I would like to keep other newbies from falling for this thing.

True, it's a complicated model, I didn't like it either.

For some it really works well though.

For me, I found the design and idea solid, but the delivery and refillability really lacking. For those who are in it to save some money, it's not the wisest purchase unless you are INCREDIBLY patient, and let's face it, not many of us are.

 

[Nashy08]

Haha, so true!

Nashy, the nicest feature of the Green Smoke is the 30-day money back guaranty. I used it and they refunded my money (except for the cost of cartomizers) without any questions asked.

That's just in case you really dislike it.

Wow $109 for a 1 battery kit? Are they on crack? I understand that they want to make a profit but how can they charge that much and keep a straigh face? That's maybe $25 worth of equipment.

I bought the Green Smoke 160.00 kit and loved it at first. I had problems with the usb charger and had to get it replaced. Then the batteries had issues too. They have changed up their cartridges too and it is much harder to refill them. Their cartridges are among the most expensive on the market and they have few flavors to offer. I quit using them after my last batch of cartridges purchased. I just wish I could find a connector to be able to use my 801 carts on their batteries! BTW, great review Nashy!

save some money if you plan to stay with the greensmoke:

type in www e@cig com, replace the @ with a - , and add the periods.

for some reason, it won't let me hotlink the site

all of their E9 products will fit the greensmoke.

blank cartomizers, 4 for $5, that you can refill with any juice you want, in addition to cheaper everything, compared to greensmoke.

Thanks for the info o4_srt, I was able to find a US supplier that has the blanks without the 11.00 shipping feesfrom China. Your advise pointed me in the right direction though. LeCig has the blank cartridges for 8.97 for five and you can use coupon code INTERNET to get 10% off.

Thanks for the info, but I think I'm going to agree with Katya, the return policy is definitely the only redeeming thing about this product. I use my TW Tornado as a primary PV now, but my green smoke batteries have decided to rebel and hate me. After a wekk, green smoke was not a pleasant experience.

Well, I was one of those saps who bought the $139 kit...too late too return it by the time I found out how over priced it was.
That being said, I did get them to send me a 3rd battery and got 3 packs of carts for free. I've had no problems w/ the batteries or charger...but I know where else to go if I need new ones.
As for refilling the carts...I just started doing this and have found that the 'rubber end cap' method (into the atty end, not the white end cap side) works just fine. I've also done it by removing the white end cap and dripping drops onto the filler directly.
No leaking, no damage to cartomizer (thus far)

It actually got me through 8 months and off cigs right away. It isn't as satisfying to me as it used to be, I no longer like the cartos they have now, they don't last as long, so I recently switched over to an eGo. I liked the analog look and ease of use, screw the carto on and done. Time for a change.

 

[loden813]

Me too...spent the bucks before I found this forum. No problems with cartos or hardware at this point, but will buy empty cartos from elsewhere. I hope eventually they lower prices and include more flavors, but who knows. Have backups just in case all go to crap!
