Here are 4 of the Best (Refillable) Juul Alternatives for 2018

14 02 , 2018 No Comments

Few things have hit the scene harder than the JUUL.

Made by the same people behind the PAX dry herb vaporizer, its arrival has shuffled the industry deck, and redefined genres. The JUUL is a cigalike that is tastefully designed and simple to use, and it delivers a nicotine hit that former smokers crave.

So it’s the best in the business, right?

Well, not necessarily. As much as I love its small form factor and intuitive interface, the JUUL has some serious drawbacks.

There are a number of JUUL-like cigalikes now and honestly they stand up to scrutiny. Some of them are arguably better across the board.

Want to check out the competition? Here are four of my favourite JUUL alternatives from competitors looking to unseat the king.

Five Great Sub Ohm Tanks Worth Trying | VE Reviews

The trend of sub ohm vaping is massively popular, and growing. It makes sense! Who wouldn’t want more vapour and flavour?

Whether you’ve got a mechanical mod, a variable voltage / wattage rig, or just a basic battery capable of low ohms, you should really give this type of vaping a try!

By reducing electrical resistance and thereby increasing the heat (which improves evaporation), you can create massive clouds and enjoy the subtle flavours of your e-juice like never before.

The best way to do this (in my opinion) is to find a good sub ohm rebuildable tank atomizer (or RTA).

There are a bunch of great options, and choosing can be a frustrating exercise. Want some help?

The first time I noticed a vaporizer was on a crowded street. I saw the puff of smoke and expected to walk through an acrid cloud.

Imagine my surprise when that cloud was completely odourless!

There are lots of good reasons for switching over from ‘analog’ cigarettes to vaping. Regaining your senses of taste and smell, losing that smoke smell from your clothes, and improving your health to name a few.

However, getting started can be daunting. What’s with all the components and batteries? What the heck is a mod?

My suggestion? Ignore the complicated stuff for now. I always recommend that a beginner find a good, cheap vape starter kit to get rolling.

They’re easy to use and maintain, and they get you going right away, so you can make a successful switch. Besides, you can always upgrade later on. Start right now. Make a change for the better.

So what’s the best e-cig starter kit worth dropping some money on?

5 Good E-Pipes on a Budget: My Picks, Reviews & Tips for 2018

Four Affordable & Stylish Electronic Smoking Pipes

Affordable Electronic Pipes Explained

When I first got into pipe smoking, I fell in love. There’s something about puffing on a pipe that just makes the world slow down.

Smoking a pipe takes time. You get to relax, take in your surroundings, get lost in thought, and appreciate the experience.

Unfortunately, like all burnt tobacco, there are considerable health concerns. Wanting to live a long life, I set the ‘toby’ aside.

I immediately started looking around for a good electronic smoking pipe that could take its place. I was surprised by the lack of good information about affordable e-pipe options.

It’s not that they don’t exist, they simply seem to be scattered across the web, with very little reliable information ready at hand.

So what are the best e-pipes at a cheap price point?

The eRoll Electronic Cigarette Review: Starter Kit with PCC

I love a huge mod that produces clouds as much as the next person. But that being said, sometimes you just want an e-cig that’s simple, stealthy and cigarette-like.

The eRoll is probably the closest you’ll get to a real cigarette in terms of size, feel and satisfaction. It doesn’t skimp on power either, it’ll produce clouds and great flavour.

It even comes with a PCC (or portable charging case) to ensure you’ve got enough power to get you through the day.

But is the Joyetech eRoll e-cig starter kit all it’s cracked up to be? This review will detail my personal experiences with the device, so you’ll know what to expect!

Love trying out new flavours? You’re in luck.

These three companies are so confident in their e-juice that they’re willing to let the vapour do the talking. No purchase necessary.

I think this is a fantastic strategy. Buying a 30ml bottle is an investment, especially when it’s a flavour you aren’t certain you’ll love.  A free bottle of e-juice lets you ‘try before you buy’.

This makes sense for the sellers too. I’m much more likely to repeat order from a company I know.

Without further ado, here are four e-cigarette companies giving away free e-juice samples.

So what’s the difference? Which one is better?
