Health E-Cigarette Review ($11 kit including PCC) 1 week of use

[Brandnew vper]

I gotta say i agree with sykkel here, THis wasnt my first but second pv. I purchased the envy which really sucked i have to say and this kit was from e-health cigs although it was $18 there. i got mine the very next day and they had great customer service. Mike responded to my e mail in literally 5 min. the atty on this thing is pretty good for me i like the pointed wick. It really works for dripping. The cartridges dont even test close to marlbs but im using liberty flights churchill and im good to go. I odrered eight attys i got 20% discount from talking to Mike and free shipping for these attys and a kit and battery i bought for my gf. And although very cheaply mad the battery life last petty long and i like the handy retractable plug. It isnt a PCC, but hey where CAN'T you find a outlet? and with two batteries and spare attys this for me was a great buy for the price. but sykkel was right about the cartrdges hardly any filler in the foil thing (very messy). But not a bad e cig(for this beginner). I will upgrade soon but for my budget, Im happy! Nice review up there really helped thanks

P.S. - On deal extreme they have a different kit of this same e cig with a black charger cig pack that has a retractable usb plug for 10 bucks. and free shipping!

Hell yeah! Smoking is much more pricey but when you can get a kit for the same price or cheaper than a disposable why not! I mean this thing has opened my eyes to now upgrading (after a week) and looking into screwdriver styles for at home.
It's not a super kit but it has got me off analog smokes completely so I can't say anything bad about it. And yes, if you have never tried a e gig and don't know any cats who use them in your group of friends ya might as well go cheap and later get a chuck or 510 or whatever your style is now that ya know you dig vaping.
Hey correct me if I'm wrong but, paying $11 then upgrading is better than buying a mall $150 kit and upgrading for less ha.

At this point I don't think its something Id want but it does look like something I'd recomend to some one that wants to try vaping but is unsure of it. When I start it was hard on mye to scrap up the money for supplies. Now that I don't smoke analogs its different. When I started I had to pay $70 for a kit plus $60 for my analog habit. I couldn't quit till I got my vaping supplies but I didn't have the extra money until I got quit analogs

How much was shipping and how long did it take?

P.S. - On deal extreme they have a different kit of this same e cig with a black charger cig pack that has a retractable usb plug for 10 bucks. and free shipping!

I have the black one with the retractable usb plug and I don't recommend it. This is the one that died on me...finally figured out that juice ran down into the battery and killed it. I find the usb plug very awkward to plug into an outlet or the pc. This is the one I'm talking about:

DealExtreme: $10.00 Quit Smoking USB Rechargeable Electronic Cigarette with 6-Refills

It is not exactly the same as the e-health with the charger plug: DealExtreme: $8.68 Electronic Cigarettes with Charger and 6-Refills Set (110V~220V AC)

This one is more a clone of the M401 series, with the banded atomizer. The black one I have has the atomizer completely covered by the cartridge. A similar one that I also have is this: DealExtreme: $8.66 Quit Smoking USB Rechargeable Electronic Cigarette with 6-Refills (Marlboro Taste)

I actually like this one a lot more than the hard plastic usb one. They're the same model.

The other deal extreme I have is this one: DealExtreme: $11.72 Electronic Cigarettes with Chargers and 10-Refills Set (110V~240V AC)

This is a pretty good one. M401 clone, maybe the same as the one in the charger pack? Great set of chargers with it too. I find the taste kind of....yuck on these cartridges though. But hey, as was said above, way better to start with one of these and upgrade then start with a Smoking Everywhere and upgrade.

 

[doublewhiskey]

I ordered one from DX for under $9 shipped just to try it out. The vapor is weak and they sent no nic carts, but the battery works on my 510 if I'm in a pinch!

 

[SOH Joe]

yeah cheap isnt always better. I ran the numbers on savings, and some of the more expensive brands tend to save you more.

 

[LLOTEK]

Still pretty new here, looks like i need to bone up on the terms, I thought a PCC was a charger I didn;t know it has a battery of it's own. So yeah I guess it is just a charger not a PCC.

And of course I know this isn't a genuine 401 merely based off of one which is why i said CLONE i.e. Knock off, copy, ripoff, ETC.

Come to think of it it is much more similar dimension wise to a 402.

So this review was directed more towards new people like myself that are looking for a cheap 1st kit to try the whole E-Cigarette thing out.

My apologies if this has deeply offended anyone in any way.

Hey there. No offense here mate. i actually ordered a couple of these for myself, hope to get them in this week or early next week. thanks for the info though. Obviously my expectations were low as well, being that they are soo cheap, but hey, I dont wanna spend 50 or 100 just to find out i dont like it. thanks again

*Off Topic a bit..but it still cracks me up when folks say that ecigs are too expensive..when i gave them up and started vaping .. a carton of smokes here in Mich was about $60 (and i believe they've gone up since) and lasted me about a week..at the end of the week..all left to show was a bunch of stinkin cigarette butts..how is an ecig "high priced" in comparison?..i never did and still dont understand the logic...

Admittedly, there is no real logic, but Im one of those who smoke the cheapo native bags or just by one pack at a time, so I pay no more than 6-20 bucks at a time. so the idea of forking 50 over(when Im generally broke ...) and not guaranteed to like them, just didnt sit well with me. Im sure I will be buying the high quality more costly ones, once I see how great these things are.

 

[blondeambition3]

So I'm new to the E-Cigarette world, this was in fact my very first one. I have been vaping on it for about a week now using Liberty-Flights liquids.

You can pick this kit up off dealextreme for $11 i guess, I got mine from DinoDirect for $14.

Anyway, this thing is great so far, I get quite a bit of vapor from this super mini. It is a 402 or 403 clone so it is pretty small and has a SLB style atty with a very narrow pointed atty peak.

Nice bright LED with about a 7 sec cutoff.

The vapor gets warm (which i like) but the atty does tend to heat up quite a bit, not flesh melting but hot to the touch. I don't know if all PV do this but figured it's worth mentioning.

The biggest complaint (really the only one) is that the carts suck. The taste is menthol stock crap and i have cracked some of the carts somehow?

Also the inner carts have NO STUFFING! just a foil layer which has made it hard to refill without a mess and i get juice in my mouth more than not.

BUT... this is a M401/2/3 clone so I just ordered some new quality 401 carts from mypvstore.com and after they get here i don't foresee any problems. Parts are also cheap (possibly cheaply made too but hey)

attys are $7 for 2 packs online although i may test out a smoore atty if i don't upgrade soon.

The best thing is this PCC cig box. It is the same size as a standard camel light box and plugs right into the wall so I never have my battery die since its so easy to charge.

I did test out the bat life and it is about 4 hours vaping about as often as i smoked before with about 10 puffs each sitting. (I do try to regulate how much i vape at a time)

anyway it's a killer 1st PV and if your just trying it out I totally recommend this kit. So cheap but works awesome (IMO).

I've tried this Health e-Cig also... it's only "Barely OK" in comparison to my Joye 510 from CigNot which is only 35.00 (no box Starter Kit) plus $5.00 for shipping... and you get two full eCigs with a charger & everything... so really, in the long run, this Health e-Cig is really no deal and (IMHO) the vapor production, battery life, absolutely nothing comes close to the 'quality' of a Joye 510. Sorry, but I've 'been there' and 'done this' eCig... again... no comparison.. do yourself a HUGE favor and get a no-box Starter from CigNot.

ya from what I know, the black pack one is the newer version of the health e-cig. so dont by parts from both models thinking they will fit with each other, from what ive read, they are a bit different

 

[Vapor Vixen]

Which is the BEST e-cig? I want a white cig (realistic) with an LED light that flashes when it needs charging; which should be long lasting. I want atomizers that don't quit within a week. And I want lots of Vapor with a good Tobacco taste. I've been vaping for over 100 days and my latest purchase of replacement atomizers has been irritating...the company must have started making poorer quality or no quality control. Help me find the BEST...

 

[Kilroy]

Wait a sec how long do the 510 disposables last by the way?

Just wondering so if this one dies we would have an even better comparison to the madvapes 510 toss out.

I opened my Mad Vapes disposable 510 before Christmas. I've charged it 40 times and it still works fine.

 

[Dudeman]

I opened my Mad Vapes disposable 510 before Christmas. I've charged it 40 times and it still works fine.

I gave all my "disposable" batteries away but I'm at 2 months fulltime use on the atty. (A friend has been using ONLY the disposable 510's for 2 full months with no issues). I figured it would die before a genuine Joye 510 atty and I want to dissect one. The wait for death continues...

 

[JEFFM]

aww come on, we need a band playing the no Health Ecig song. no worries, they were my first ecig also because of a 10.00 price

I own a 401 from myfreedomsmokes. White, manual or auto, flashing colored led. The battery life isn't bad compared to many other small e-cigs. Probably up to 4 hours+ depending on the amount of vaping. I really love Chris' juices but I haven't tried tobacco. I am a menthol lover but if you're into flavors his chocolate-caramel-coffee is to die for. (You will have to ask for it cos I don't think it's listed on his site.

 

[sheep]

I restuffed the carts of my e-heath dealextreme e-cigs with M401 inner carts and so far it's working like a charm. I was vaping away on them all morning!

 

[waylos]

That pack was the first kit that I bought over a year ago off ebay when they were allowing ecigs. I spent $11.00 on it. It didn't last long, and I was back to smoking analogs until I came upon other brands, after doing some research and seeing what I can get for a little more money that would hopefully last a bit longer... so far over a month without analogs.

I got one of these off a friend who didn't want them anymore. I like them but I messed up the atty so I need to buy another one.

 

[bwstryker]

I've made a metal car mod for the 7-11 e cig which I'm almost 100% sure is a rebranded health-e. The metal cart replaced the health-e crap flavors so you can smoke without inhaling burning plastic.

So the review already exist.... Just gonna put what I think of it here.....

Health cigarettes are the first one i ever used...

The first I ever had was working pretty well i have to say.... then the battery (chich is very weak) started to die, so i changed it... no problem with that, still the same pleasure using it...

But then the atomiser died.... and that was the begining of the end....

Since then i've been buying tons of atomisers, none of them gives me the same pleasure i had with the first one... (and really I'm only putting it into my mouth )

Big disapointment too, after a few weeks, the people I've been recommending it to, started to come back to me with broken atomisers and batteries and are all feeling the same frustration after changing atomiser...

My point is you can't find two of those cigs that work the same...I think so many different people make it in China that, from one day to another you can get a totally different e-cig...

I even found out, that in two exact same packages, the atomisers can differ in size, and you cannot use some batteries with them....

Another problem are the cartridge... sometime you buy it and the flavour is coplety different of what you ordered... (I already got lemon tasting mint, mint tasting coffee, and marlboro tasting chocolate....) plus lot of them are dripping... and don't think about using juice with it... it would be worst....

In a conclusion, I think Health cigarettes, for their price is a funny gadget to show your friend... but nothing you can compare to a REAL Electronic cigarette... it's very cheap, so you will never have to mortgage a member of your family if u are disapointed with it but i really advise putting a little bit more money and buy something of better quality...

I cannot give notes for the vapor, and Hit quality, as it differs from a package to another... let's just say that i already tried at least 20 until now.... and only the first one i got, was not bad....

High price i understand, it was expensive getting started for me but, the little cigars I smoked before were 11.00 a carton so, even at 2 cartons a week that was just 22.00 a week, now the e kit i chose was 85.00 with shipping, then another 88 for 100 carts, 15 for refill joice, 5 for foam filler, 20 for a cary case, another 20 for spare attys since they said they burne out in 3-6 months. Yeha huge expense initally compared to analogs but, in the long term I save money and my health as well as those around me. Still if iwere like most here, making less than 300.00 per week, NO WAY would I be able to ever get anything costing that much, not even close. I telecomute so, have the income of a better region, but for others here, it's simply too expensive so an 11.00 kit is a good thing, 11 now, 15 for juice next month, 5 for filler a week later, then maybe save a few months to buy extra carts and atty's, that would be manageable to people who can spend just 11.00 a week for analogs. If the e cig cost more then , they won't try it, it simply isn't in thier budget.

A kiosk at the farmer's market tried selling 49.00 kits - I know the seller, 4 months, ZERO sales and constantly yelled at for trying to rip people off, told one cig needed to be 1.00. this is a backwoods, small town and, of the 12 families on my road I am the ONLY one with internet radio, tv or cell phone - can't get radio, tv or net w/o satellite, dial up is not avail nor is voice mail on the land line, or caller ID, just basic call me or i'll call you service, if the box at the end of the road is dry and the phone actually works- it doesn't in the rain.

Yeah for this area e gigs have to be dirt cheap and have to work like analogs or most won't bother. They are simple, country folk who think a keyboard is a piano and RAM is a male sheep. telling them otherwise is as good as telling a brick wall. So e cigs have to be cheaper than analogs initially and permanently and, look and feel, taste, and be able to be puffed like analogs or 99% of this crowd simply won't even be interested. No GLV, 510, passthroughs, nothing like that, plug it in for a few minutes, snap on an atty and cart or cartomizer, smoke as if it were an analog and have it work as well as an analog, then, maybe places like this will catch on.

had I been born and raised here and, had the low income most have, i never would have tried e cigs as they are now, well except that 11.00 kit. I have gotten converts, but that takes a dinner party, me buying the kit, juice, filler etc.. for them and spending all of dinner teaching them how to use it properly and finding the juice they like, then they bring me cash and i go online and order more of thier juice when they need it. Not one, besides me will accept calling smokes analogs- I just get told " that sounds stupid, call thim cigarettes or smokes and this thing, an electric cigarette." Around here, vaping is not viewed as having quit smoking, just changing brands and styles, much as going for Marlboroa Reds to little cigars is. The 11.00 kit will be a big help to me getting converts and, save me a ton on kits for friends.
