WELCOME!!!

Never heard of them but sounds like a "Luxury" brand name for a
likely overpriced 510 or something similar.

You can check out the Forumpage under The E-CigaretteGeneral E-Smoking Discussion
Model Specific Discussion. This will have posts for likes, dislikes and problems with
specific models. You can also check the suppliers section of the forum for repritiable
dealers.

Personally I started with what turns out to be a 410 (looks like an analog), cute
but light on the vapor. Then got a DSE810 with a pass thru, good vapor, lousey
attys. Just got a Joyce 510/ego great vapor, great taste, and 510 attys have a
resonable reputation (haven't had mine long enough to do damage ;-))

The Model specific corner and Suppliers corner seem to have the best info
for the nubee that's overwhelmed, (I was for quite a while).

I can't find any Summer Beach Smokes, but I found South Beach Smokes, is that what you meant?

Premium Starter Kit
Our Premium Electronic Cigarette Starter Kits are our entry-level, 3-component e-cigarette kit that comes with everything you need to buy electronic cigarettes online.

Your kit includes:
1 Premium E-Cigarette Lithium Ion Battery
1 Atomizer (creates the vapor)
1 Portable Wall Charger
6 Large Nicotine Cartridges - Equals 6 Packs of Cigarettes (Variety Pack - Assorted Flavors).
1 $100 Gas Rebates Certificate - Details

Special Price $29.99
Includes Free Enrollment in South Beach Smoke Home Delivery Program. All future monthly cartridge shipments are 30% off - Details

Equivalent to paying $2.79/pack on traditional cigarettes.

Regular Price $59.99
Does not include enrollment in South Beach Smoke Home Delivery Program.
Way too expensive for what you are getting.

First of all, you definitely want to steer clear of the South Beach Smoke Home Delivery Program.
That is a complete and total ripoff for sure.

So basically, you would be paying $60 for one single electronic cigarette.
That is way too much.

You can get far more than that for far less from ANY vendor on this forum.

Another problem is they don't have manual batteries, and you definitely want to get a manual battery.

You can get one automatic and one manual in many starter kits.
So if you think you MUST have an automatic battery, then get one of each.

You'll probably want that manual battery before you're done with your first day.
:)

EDIT: And whatever you do, do NOT buy replacement batteries ($40) from them!!

Rule of thumb: The bigger the battery the longer the battery life

If you must have one that is near the size of a cigarette, you will get poor battery life.
In that case you need to get a PCC and have at least two batteries to start with.

But if you can deal with one that is about the size of a small cigar you can get an Ego/Riva/Tornado.
Those have batteries that would give you much, much longer battery life.

The eGo is what I have, and love it.:vapor:
The battery lasts me all day, and that's from
a pack to 1 1/2 pack a day for 35+year smoker.

Don't be intimatated regarding "refilling a cart", it can
be as simple as removing the cart, you'll see some fiber
inside, put 3-5 drops of juice on the fiber and 1 on the atty
for good measure, and stick it back together. Faster than
finding which pocket you put your analog lighter in!:thumbs:
The juice tastes better than pre-filled carts IMHO

Once your more comfortable with vaping you can look into
cart modifications, and there is lots of info here on methods.

Here are two mostly similar charts you might find helpful
Comparison Matrix
Brand and Model Compatibility Chart - E-Cigarette Wiki

They will give you info for many models - like how many puffs per battery and per cartridge, and more.

And be sure to check all of the sticky links at the top of the Newbies forum - that illustrated guide in the Library thread is really helpful, especially the parts about different type of models and buying your first.
