To Green Smoke or not to Green Smoke? (30 days almost up)

[helleybelley]

Return it!!! That's what I'm doing! I hope you return it in time though. The 30 day money back guarantee starts the day you order the kit, not the day you recieved it. I've had mine for a week and I haven't used it in the past three days because the 5 cartos they gave me already ran out. Besides that, the flavors were bad and it didn't seem to be the "vapor monster" that I saw in video reviews. I'd get good vapor for the first two puffs and then I'd have to let the carto get cold again to get good vapor. Kind of strange. The battery takes 5 hours to charge for 30-45 minutes of use, what's up with that? I got my RAN# and it's going back first thing tomorrow morning, priority mail.

1 good thing about greensmoke is their 30 day refund policy

I agree. I started on Green Smoke a week ago Friday and already I've ordered something else and am sending the thing back. Since I wanted to stay with the "cigarette" style for the time being, I took the advice of many people here on the forum and ordered a KR808D-1 style (Green Smoke is KR808D-2 and not compatible with many other parts and cartos). I actually started filling blank cartos a few days ago and what a world of difference that makes. Watch the Mistress Nomad videos (just type that into your browser to find)..... it's really not hard and much more rewarding.

Get rid of the thing ad good luck.

I've had my GS for 3 days and I knew from the first day that it was going back. I ordered a GLV2 yesterday. I not going to waste my time and money any more constantly upgrading. I figured I go with a 5V. model and be done with it. The GS does seem to do better than some of the other similar sized models. I could get a fair amount of vapor and a little TH but you really had to work at it. The flavors I really have no comment about, I only tried the tobacco (full) and the Menthol (ice). The Tobacco (full) was there strongest and it barely gave me a TH, and only sometimes. From everything that I've seen and heard about the GLV2 it should be just what I'm looking for. I'll give a review after I receive it and put it to use. P.S. since Ive recieved my GS I have not smoked a analog. It does seem to subdue my cravings. Whatever you decide to do good luck and I hope you find what you are looking for.

Wow ... thought I was alone! Had the GS for two weeks. After one I found this site and ordered a 510. No comparison. I did the research but all the talk of juice and atty and batts then when that was not bad enough I ran into reviews and vids talking of TH and drip and on and on ... was very intimidated. GS makes it easy. But then I saw $50 for the battery and said forget it.

 

[pupmastermp3]

My vote says you will, too! Not because the Provape is a bad PV. On the contrary, it's an excellent PV! But your eye will wander and you'll want to expand.

I am sure that I will by another but my point was that I do not need to if I don't want to. I will buy others PV's to add to the collection as I did with Lighters when I was a smoker. I bought a great PV is what I meant and therefore could simply replace a battery now and then but won't need to actually replace the PV.

I agree with what everyone else is saying...I started w/ gs, then bought a kr808d1 and haven't touched the gs again! Whether you go w/ the 510 (which I haven't tried yet) or the kr808d1, it'll be a big step up for less $. I'm returning mine...have just a week or so left on the 30 return period. BTW, not sure if you experienced this, but I found the gs to be very difficult to take a drag from...hated that. Then when I got my manual batteries (with the button on the batt), it made vaping such a pleasure...just an option to keep in mind when you order your new pv. Best of luck!

The only thing I liked about the GS was the 30-day money back guaranty...

 

[iamsean83]

Go to vaporleaf.com much better products, and you will save a ton!!!! Vapor4life.com is a good place to get a ton of good flavors of ejuice. Also, myvaporstore.com prefilled carts for $6.95!!!! Great prices!

 

[BWG707]

I agree with Katya, the best feature of the GS is the 30 day return policy. And Sweetpuff I understand you saying that it was difficult to take a drag from it. It was like you had to work at it to get a decent hit. As if you were always chasing after take one good hit. It seemed like I would get a decent hit when I hit the GS right after I unplugged it from the charger. I would find myself charging the GS several times thru-out the day, and I don't smoke it much at all. I probably would vape more if I didn't have to "work" at it with the GS. One thing I will admitt since I recieved the GS I have not smoked an analog. I hope my GLV2 comes soon so I can try to enjoy vaping the way it supposed to be; pleasant, effortless clouds of great tasting vape.

legacygone, the adaptor tip is awesome...i've been looking high and low for an adaptor for my 808d1 that would let me use all of GS carts I ordered. Thanks to you I won't have to just toss those carts and waste all of the money I spent on them !!!

 

[mhuffington]

I also started with Green Smoke and it was awful. I say send it back IMMEDIATELY! You can do way better than that for a lot cheaper with much better shipping. The longest I've ever had to wait for anything I've ordered was some juice from Gourmet Vapor during one of their 50% off sales. I knew they'd get hit hard, so when it took a week to get my juice I wasn't upset at all. Everything else I've ordered from any of my vendors only takes 4 days MAX to get to my mailbox.

So I've experienced major battery issues with the GS. I've gone through 4 batteries in two months. Now most people say thats not an issue because the company will replace them for the first year. But what about when my 1 year warranty is up? They are $50 each. I've also found that they are using old battery technology which is 1st generation and now the same company that they buy from offers a 3rd generation battery using an updated microchip technology but GreenSmoke is not going to switch. This updates give you better batter life, allows for more airfow so you dont fee like your suck in a bowling ball through a garden hose, better airflow keeps the cartos cooler. The 1st gen has a 10-20% failure rate compared to the 3rd gen which has a 2.3% failure rate. They have a lot of things they need to address but they won't even discuss them openly and admit they have a problem.

So if you want to pay a huge price for old technology with several issues such as battery life and poor catomizers buy one. otherwise listen tot the other memebrs here and and purchase from Joy or Vapor4Life ( not to be confusted with the VaporKing website).

 

[Astronomer]

woah... that sounds really expensive

I am using an eGo with twice the battery, I suspect twice the vapor, and the batteries cost half as much for the huge 1000mah battery that lasts all day and then some.

My own opinion is that you would do much MUCH better with a standard Joye 510 ( or similar unit ) or an eGo if you don’t mind the larger unit. Better suppliers for certain.

 

[SnowDragon]

Dump GS as quickly as possible. GS does bring many new vapers into the fold, but there are so many different/better vendors who have much better equipment and a much larger selections of flavors.

 

[Rosa]

For $50 you can get a whole eGo/Riva kit and 30ml of e-liquid at Liberty Flights (two 650 mah batts will last all day - two days for many). I only mention this for the benefit of the unregistered lurker who's trying to decide between greensmoke, Blu, and eGo.

Good luck

For anyone in that 30 day return period...return it! Track your return, and stay on top of them. I returned mine (within the return period), and had to go through the biggest headache ever to get them to return my money. They kept telling me they didn't receive the returned kit, despite that fact that I had the delivery confirmation. Long story short, not only is their product sub par, they are shady to boot and try their best not to honor their return policy. They currently have 5 better business bureau complaints regarding returns alone, and other complaints too (and that's just in Florida!) BBB Review of Green Smoke in North Miami Beach, FL.

If you're thinking about purchasing this don't do it. If you can return it, it's best to do so and get yourself something better for a lot less money. If you're stuck with it, chalk it up to experience and move onto a better piece of equipment rather than let them suck tons of $ out of you in the future. Just my opinion, but I'd hate to see anyone else go through the hassle.

Send it back asap, you'll be constantly back on the analogues if you rely on GreenSmoke. Been there and tried it and spent a load of money. There are so many more floors to their product other than battery life. If you want something similar in terms of its form factor/mini e cig - go for a KR-808 or 510 battery and KR 808 or 510 cartomisers. Buy blank cartomisers and fill them yourself with your choice of e liquid for a better experience.

 

[Toadster61]

I started with a similar brand like green smoke, but then got a 510 and am loving it, go with a vendor that is recommended on this site like liberty-flights , I have a local e-cig store but still got stuck with my Smoke 51 brand e-cig, I use it when my 510 battery dies, so its not a total waste, the only thing I dont like about my 510 is the battery life is kinda short( 2-3 hours) , so you might want to upgrade , only been vaping a month or so, but thought Id add my 2 cents,,good luck !

 

[sadsack]

I found that the battery I received from Liberty Stix and the battery I received from GS would both accept the Liberty Stix, GreenSmoke, and eSmoke atomizer refill cartridges. Of these 3 I prefer the GreenSmoke (as far as taste, to each his own).
Since I am new to this forum and coming from a place of complete ignorance, I don't know what type of batteries these are (510 or whatever). Could anyone steer me to a list of what other cartridges would work with the batteries I have? I like the taste and vapor production of GS. Anyone have any good alternatives as far as other cartridges to try or a less expensive battery that would work with my GS cartridges.
Thanks

It's been over a year plus since I had a greensmoke. Those guys still light me up with emails almost everyday.

sadsack - Greensmoke is Chinese wholesaler model E9 aka KR808D-2 and it's the fave of rebranders who want to lock you into them for supplies. It is incompatible with the more popular 2-piece KR808D-1 (the D-1 is the one manufacturers support for new kinds of blank cartos, the one with the most adapters, the one you can buy normal price parts for at many multubrand vendors)

E9/KR808D-2 is compatible with some other rebrander models
Smoke 51 Duo, Green Smoke, LeCig D2, Red Dragon, Vapure (not Bloog - they are now KR808D-1)
A couple more E9's listed here
A Brief Cartridge and Atomizer Compatiblity Guide | Real eCig E-Cigarette Reviews and Information

The only normal-price US retailer I know of who sells anything for D2 is AZSmokeFree - you can get an entire 2-battery kit for probably less than the average rip-off rebrander charges for one battery
The Better Way To Smoke - Search Results

If you get a D2 to D1 adapter at leCig then you can use the prefilled cartos at Vapor4Life.com and all of the standard resistance KR808D-1 blank cartos there and elsewhere
