The eCigarette Review: What you need in an E-Cigarette Starter Kit

The easiest way to get started with vaping, or smoking electronic cigarettes, is to purchase a starter kit. A starter kit, available from most e-cigarette companies, contains everything a user needs to start using e-cigarettes.

VIAe Starter Kit - 2 Cartridge

First, understand the basics. Electronic cigarettes are reusable, battery operated devices. Unlike traditional cigarettes, you will need the battery (represented by the white end of a cigarette), a cartridge (represented by the beige tip or filter) and a charger (often a USB based cable device.)

Each cartridge contains an atomizer and the nicotine solution. When inhaled, the battery portion of the e-cigarette powers the atomizer heating coil in order to vaporize the nicotine solution. The vapor is inhaled by the user to produce the same effects as a cigarette.

For this reason, it’s important that the e-cigarette starter kit contain all the elements of the regular e-cigarette experience. Read the label on your preferred brand to ensure the starter kit has the right products for you.

Starter Kits Offer a Try-Out Before Users Fully Commit

e-Cigarette starter kits may contain a few cartridges, as well, so that users can try out the experience of smoking e-cigarettes before committing to a large financial investment. The same way a user may try a pack of cigarettes before purchasing a carton of cigarettes, the starter kit should give you an idea of what you like before you purchase more parts.

Keep in mind that not all e-cigarettes are created equally. While each starter kit will contain everything needed to get started, the quality of products may differ greatly. For example, if you do not like the taste of one nicotine solution cartridge, the taste of another brand may be completely different.

Likewise, components of the e-cigarette starter kit also vary greatly by brand. The quality of the battery cartridge and how long it holds a charge may affect your vaping experience. Be sure to read the starter kit box for information on battery life before purchasing.

An e-cigarette starter kit will also be priced according to the quality of the product and extra features included. Again, the price is varied according to what’s included, so make sure to read the description carefully before purchasing.
