Sup peoples, this is my first review and also my first ecigs, go easy on me.




I have two products, one is the starter kit from Red Dragon, the other is the Vapor King from Vapor4life (can only be gotten through email at the moment).

These things are both the 2 piece disposable atomizer jammies. I didnt want to mess around with liquids as im kinda clutzy and woulda spilled it everywhere.


The one from Red Dragon looks like a cigarette, white with a brown/orange filter. The one from vapor4life is black with green or white carts.


The Red Dragon is about the size of a 100's cig. The Vapor King is about 15-20% longer than that, so im guessing the battery lasts longer. Today is the first day ive gotten them so kinda hard to tell.

The red dragon kit was twice the price of the vapor king.

My first impression is i wont be using the Red Dragon at all. Even tho it looks more like a cig, the vapor king BLOWS IT AWAY in taste, and throat hit. Weirdly tho, the Red Dragon produces more smoke, but you dont feel anything and the taste is kinda non existent. I couldnt really tell the difference between flavors in the Red Dragons. Not to say you dont taste anything, its just barely noticeable upon exhale.

The Vapor King doesnt produce as much smoke, but the taste and the throat hit are dope on a stick. It really feels like your smokin a cig with this one, you will cough. This right here to me, is the deal breaker for the Red Dragon. I dont care how much smoke there is if i cant feel it.

Also the draw of the Vapor King is much much smoother than the Red Dragon. The VaporKing pulls like a cigarette, the Red Dragon pulls like some noob ****ed up a joint n rolled it too tight.

The switch timer on the Red Dragon is about 2-3 seconds before it goes off. Being that you arent feeling the smoke, it felt as if it wasnt long enough.

The switch timer on the Vapor King is like 5-6 seconds. But the throat hit is so nice, you wont be able to pull that long. At least i wasnt and im a pack a day newport smoker.

Like i said before the Red Dragon flavors are suspect. Theres a hint of flavor as you blow out the smoke. I tried to Cherry, Menthol, and regular so far. All of em are ok until i tried the Vapor King flavors.

Vapor King doesnt offer a true Menthol flavor to cure me from the Newports, but the Mint flavor is damn close. The Cola and Cherry are dope as well. Its almost like you are smoking candy.

Both sellers had really good customer service, they both contacted me the day after the order to let me know some flavors were out of stock and worked out over the phone with what they had in stock to fill the order. Shipping times on both were about equal except Vapor4life didnt charge me for shipping, Red Dragon did.

So there it is, my day 1 review of these ****in things. I still havent had a cig, and i dont really feel the need for one.

Hope this helps some of you not waste money because it seems like more people spend about 400 bucks before the buy something they like.

P.S. I havent had a chance to test these while im in a club DJ'ing, they seem pretty sensitive to vibration. Any ideas so i dont waste the battery all night working?

I DJ also. I've had the same problems with the battery firing by itself. I ordered a manual switch with usb pass-through. I haven't received it yet, but imagine it will cure the problem. I ordered from JantyUSA, but based on my experience so far I wouldn't recommend them. There's been zero communication since my order, and what should have been a two day delivery is still somewhere out there if shipped at all.

There's a few other places to order this type of device. Ben from VaporNine said he'll have some soon.

Till then, I unplug my pass-through when not using it. It sucks, but not as much as all the cigarettes I went through in a 4 hour gig.

i spin too, i want to get the vapor king,,, have the bloog,, i can say, i spent 4 hours next to a giant bass bin that was close to full blast when i was spinning, and the bloog didn't activate,,, so that was good,, but, again,, no throat hit,,,

feffen, have you smoked that in ny @ a club yet? out in boston, people just don't know about the ecigs, so i'm hesitant to break mine out,, specially while i'm djing and somewhat center of attention,, someone sees me up in the booth smoking what looks to be a cig,,, prob not a good look, they'll assume they can smoke analogs there, dig?
