Electronic cigarettes have received plenty of bad press because most folks find the products too unnatural to really use them as substitutes for the real McCoy. However, one product claims to be different – Safe Cig. This electronic cigarette comes in a two-piece format where the disposable cartridge is screwed on to the ‘butt’ that has a rechargeable battery, an LED and a flow sensor. When the user sucks air, the battery gets activated, which heats the cartridge and nicotine vapor is created, which is then inhaled by the smoker. Each cartridge is supposed to be equal to two packs of real cigarettes. The USB charger that comes along with the kit, charges up the battery and users can smoke continuously for two hours after which another recharge is required. This electronic cigarette retails for $69.95 at the lower end for a starter kit, $ 89.95 for a starter kit pro and finally the high end $137.95 for a starter kit deluxe package. Now that is a lot of money for a packet of hi-tech fags, so a proper review of the product is warranted.
The Negative Reviews
The cartridges come in various nicotine concentrations staring from 24 mg down to zero. I found some user complaints that the 24 mg cartridge is too strong extremely silly. My advice – don’t use those, after all the whole idea is to gradually wean off from smoking. I also found the grouse that that the safe cig is expensive misleading. Another negative review that I came across was that it comes in only three flavors mimicking actual tobacco and there are no fruity flavors.
The Positive Reviews
The positive reviews are overwhelming. Over 250 reviews that I checked out, rave about how close to the real thing safe cigs are. I particularly liked the review of one happy customer talking about his success in reaching zero concentration nicotine within six months of using this product. I think users really like this product is because the refill cartridge actually lasts long and is equal to two packets of tobacco cigarettes. The life time warranty of the kit means that customers are assured of after sales service should something go wrong with the kit. I recommend, as most buyers of safe cig do; to invest in the high end pack – the starter kit deluxe because the kit contains a carrying case, a car charger, a USB charger, three batteries and extra refills. The three batteries means the user can have one battery charged continuously and thus can keep smoking at will.
Conclusion
The safe cig is a great product because it works as advertized. I found very few negative reviews for this product except gripes that it was too expensive (nothing premium comes cheap), and that it had only three authentic flavors but not fruity flavors. Well, I do not think the manufacturers intended this product to be used by kids! The price may seem a bit steep but then it is a quality product that comes with a lifetime warranty, so I guess, it is worth a try, especially if you plan to quit smoking at some stage.
