I haven't done a review in quite a bit, so I feel like it's time to top the Christmas Evening off with some news quite like you get on the local scene: boring and rather bland.

This time I'm reviewing the Logic Disposable, Logic being a brand found in many gas stations, yet one that has been cutting a little bit of an edge in the market for allowing customers to buy a disposable at only $6.99 - a little bit of a saver compared to the usually $9.99 NJoy or the $11.99 Blu.

First things first, I read the back of the package to check for any odd ingredients or special instructions, and Logic seems to be kind enough to display a list of (possibly accurate) ingredients, which actually consist of things I haven't heard of, and by their chemical name, sound not so safe - the two odd ones are Terpineol and Methylfurfuran.

However, I did check to see what these two ingredients are, which Terpineol is a type of alcohol extracted from a few different plants, and the Methylfurfuran seems to be a type of seemingly certified flavoring. However, I did guess that Terpineol was related to Turpentine, and it actually is - both chemicals are usually extracted from Pine Trees.

Anyway, I figure these disposable e-cigs probably haven't killed anyone yet, so I then go to vape. Right away, I'm pleasantly surprised by the extremely tight draw and lack of "popping" or "sizzling" heard in disposables like the Blu - in feel, it's a bit more like the NJoy. As usual in disposables, I was also pleased to find that I indeed did not taste any "wick" or "metal" in the vape, and very little harshness - what is there seems more organic and attributed to the 1.8% nicotine.

There are a few negatives though. One, the vapor, like most any disposable e-cig, tastes a bit like roasted vanilla beans mixed with severely dirty foot. Why e-cig companies can't invest in a flavor a bit more like Halo's Tobaccos is beyond me, as the flavor on this would hook no one. However, to me, in my opinion, the taste is indeed mostly organic in feel (there may be some hints of a metallic taste - it's hard to discern, I believe it may be from the Turpineol alcohol), and it certainly doesn't have a wicky bite like the silica wicked clearomizers and tanks I try.

This is also the first disposable e-cig that has actually spit a little juice into my mouth - you have to be very carfeful with the tight draw, as drawing a little too hard will spit a sputter of juice into the mouth. Finally, the vapor on the Logic is quite pitiful - it wins the award for the least amount of vapor in a disposable yet, and I've tried quite a few.

Overall, the Logic receives a Local News category because the device, while seemingly reliable and proving to me that I prefer a vape that stems more from the juice than a silica wick, the device simply is as bland and uninteresting as a news segment about Mrs. Martha May Meadows planting the first roses of a Spring Season. Found at a gas station a mile from my house, it can't get any more local than that.

If you ever are in need of a disposable, my biggest advice is to no longer buy Blu - they were the top disposable in the field as the Johnson's Creek juice used to be flavored as Caramel Popcorn (in all flavor reality), and the vapor was quite impressive from the throw-away batteries. After years of passing, the Blu disposables now taste like burning wick, and no longer have any resemblance to what they were years ago - also, I wouldn't recommend the NJoy Red, as the nicotine is like 42mg and you simply can't vape it no matter who you are.

The Logic however is ever so slightly a step ahead - the typical, disposable tobacco taste is there, as well as the nicotine pepper, and it seems to have reliability. There are better out there though, so unless this is all your store has, I'd suggest trying others out to see what might work for you. For me, these things at least prove my taste buds aren't nuts.

Believe it or not, I appreciate this "dirty foot" taste more than the "dirty fiberglass-cotton" taste. It at least mostly tastes more like flavorings and not a mechanical or material feedoff, and it's not making me cough much, which is a good sign. It's simply a very general, standard device, and it works as intended, I believe.

SEEKING INPUT ON ALTERNATIVES TO "NJOY" ........... which I find to be miserable failures.

I gather that the GoodNews! individual has moved on to other pastures; willingly or otherwise. However, since I am looking to change from the e-cigarettes so highly regarded by most members of this forum.

My trusty KangerTech T3S and other variations have become entirely too much trouble. I do not want to waste time and more importantly money chasing the impossible to find "best juice". Regardless of the products I have tried based on countless recommendations the juices are just not to my liking. Tobacco tastes do not exist where my 'palate' is concerned and 'Blueberry Tobacco or any variation of same is as unnatural tasting as can be; I didn't 'smoke' flavors in REAL cigarettes and I doubt I will ever "like" them in these electronic substitutes. I can only conclude these hundreds of so-called 'flavors' will never be of great interest to me - no matter the number of attempts to find "enjoyment" there is none.

My 'obsessive-compulsive habit' is the hand to mouth repetition of smoking a REAL cigarette and not in cleaning, filling, charging, experimenting, waiting for "the best taste in the world" to arrive in the mail only to have the room smelling like a chemical factory; I now find it as bad as the lingering stink of "the real deal" tobacco products.

IF Mister GoodNews! is to be believed and these "Logic" tools are as good as it gets I'll be forever thankful. I tried a 'sample' from NJOY - their "New and Improved" KING and the first was a miserable FAILURE. I obtained eighteen .... as in '18' puffs before the battery expired. I immediately contacted them to let them know that even though I was only 'out' the 'shipping cost' I was quite disappointed. They responded by offering to replace the first 'free sample' and they did so in a timely manner - PLUS they added TWO ADDITIONAL "packs" to make up for my horrible experience.

HELLO NJOY! Your literature once again indicates "New - Longer Lasting" which equates to my needing to DRAW so hard that I nearly gave myself a hernia! the experience was (and remains) HORRIBLE! The timeout per draw has been reduced from the EIGHT SECONDS on the first "free sample" to FOUR SECONDS - VAPOR PRODUCTION has been reduced by at least fifty-per-cent leaving only a TINY and BARELY VISIBLE "VAPOR"and to make matters worse the new "BOLD" taste closely resembles "HOT AIR"!

NJOY is to me a MISERABLE FAILURE! While I have NOT tried the BLU PRODUCTS I would imagine they are EITHER vastly SUPERIOR or EQUALLY AS BAD! Unless I can find a similar "FREE SAMPLE" form "BLU" I won't be paying the ridiculous cost for the product as I seriously doubt it will be as wonderful as the sexy ladies and bulked-up gents show on television.

FINALLY MY QUESTION: Has ANYONE tried and actually LIKED the "LOGIC PRODUCTS"? If so, do they look, feel and most importantly function much like a REAL CIGARETTE? IF NOT -- has ANYONE FOUND a NJOY / BLU ' LOGIC "style" e-cigarette they use on a DAILY BASIS and receive the satisfaction one would expect from a product priced at a ridiculously HIGh PRICE? I would gladly pay the premium price IF the performance justifies doing so. It would be well worth it to get away from the aforementioned, "cleaning, filling, charging, experimenting, waiting for "the best taste in the world" to arrive in the mail only to have the room smelling like a chemical factory.

ANY AND ALL input / opinions will be greatly appreciated. My 'gut' tells me few will even SEE this post under the "Forum * E-Cigarette Product Reviews * E-Cigarette Reviews * Standard E-Cigarette Reviews" heading - but, it is worth a try. I trust the vigilate "moderators" will relocate my query to the appropriate category of this is not the proper place.
