Vaportini Review
Posted by Tatiana Rodriguez | Filed under Uncategorized
So this is off-beat for today and not really related to vapor cigarette smoking, but that’s perfectly okay with me because this product has gotten a lot of national buzz and created some debate at the same time. What I’m going to do today is present you all with my Vaportini Review.
What is a Vaportini?
Essentially, the Vaportini is the only device I’ve ever seen that allows you to inhale alcohol through a straw and feel the affects of the alcohol. Sound crazy? It sounded crazy to me as well, so I splurged $34.99 for this bad boy and gave it a test drive. I’m not a huge drinker, but I have been known to throw back some shots in my day!
So, I took out the old credit card and ordered this new way to smoke drink alcohol. I paid for the product and within one week – NOTHING. Finally, an email came that said “due to the overwhelming demand for the Vaportini, we anticipate your item to ship within 2-3 weeks. Okay, fine, I’ll wait….and wait…and wait.
Not the most fun process, especially when I was so excited to give it a try and see what all the fuss was about. I read about this first on the Daily Mail UK website, and from what I saw, the message went viral on Twitter and other social media.
So finally, last week, I got the thing!
I was quite surprised at how small it was when I opened it up. The device consists of the following materials:
- Small candle (like the one you insert in a pumpkin at Halloween)
- Metal holding tray (this holds the globe)
- Globe made of glass.
The globe sits perched on a metal holding tray, which is perched on top of a pint glass (not included.) You light the candle and place it in the pint glass. I have small hands, but they don’t fit in a pint glass, so I had to drop it in there and when I did that, the candle went out. Lucky for me I had a grill lighter, one of those long torches, so I was able to get in there and light the candle.
I then placed the metal try on top of the pint glass and after that, the globe on top of that. Here is a photo of it all put together below.
(Yes, I know it’s turned sideways.)
It’s supposed to create vapor inside the globe, but mine didn’t. I filled it with a shot of Knob Creek bourbon, one of my favorite night time drinks. I waited the allotted 4-5 minutes and still no vapor. Anyways, not a big deal. I grabbed a straw and tried to see what this was all about.
At first, I didn’t really get much of a draw. It was almost like an e-cig with a bad battery! After more time passed, it did get hotter, as did the pint glass. I was able to taste the bourbon on subsequent pulls, but I never exhaled anything. I wasn’t looking for a bellowing cloud of vapor, but I was looking for something. Nothing came.
I will say the taste was great, and if I could figure out how to get some vapor out of the draw, it would be an amazing contraption.
So, I bet you are curious to see if I got drunk, hehe?
Nope. Sad to report that no buzz was obtained in my efforts. Maybe I did something wrong?
If anyone has figured this out and has advice for me, I’m all ears. This is certainly an interesting device that has let me down, but I’m not giving up yet. I’ll update this entry when I have more data and give it another shot. (Pun-intended.)
If you are under 21 years old, please don’t replicate my efforts as it’s illegal to consume alcoholic beverages (at least in the USA) and I take no responsibility for my review of the Vaportini. Please drink and smoke responsibly and know this review is for entertainment purposes and NOT an endorsement.

Electronic Cigarette Memes
Posted by Tatiana Rodriguez | Filed under Uncategorized
I pride myself in being an Internet nerd. I really do use the Internet more than the average person. Other than email and creating word documents, invoices, and proposals for my work, I spend a lot of time on forums, humorous websites, and even TMZ. I’m a gossip queen and love the banter.
A recent trend online has become the “Internet meme.” Many people don’t know what an Internet meme is, so I’ll try to help everyone out with a quick definition.
According to Wikipedia.org: An Internet meme (miːm/ MEEM) is a concept that spreads via the Internet.
I was recently turned on to these by a friend, and at first, I didn’t get it. Guess that’s the blonde in me! After some explanation, I was told “basically, it’s a funny or controversial photo with a caption. You can create a caption on pretty much any photo and if it’s humorous or creates controversy, it will go viral.”
I put my creative cap on. I was up all night researching this topic. I WANT my website about vapor cigarettes to go viral, so this sounded like a perfect plan to create some banter.
I created my own Internet memes about electronic cigarettes, which you can find below. Please comment on them!
Next, I ran this idea by a contact I have at Bull Smoke, my electronic cigarette brand of choice, and they LOVED what I was doing. Not only did he chuckle, but he offered to chip in one BullSmoke starter kit per WEEK for the month of October for the person who submits the best Internet meme that has to do with electronic cigarettes.
So, sponsored by Bull Smoke, I’d like to invite everyone reading this site to submit their best Internet meme to me by emailing it to me at news AT vaporcigarette.com. If you don’t know how to make one, just email me and I’ll steer you in the right direction. I’d also enjoy it if you follow me on Twitter @vapor_cigarette. I could use some followers and I promise you’ll just hear about e-cigarettes stuff, like giveaways, sales, discounts, etc. I only use that Twitter acccount to promote my site, and I like getting to know people who read the site and who are interested in e-cigs!
This one I found online. This is the only one I didn't make myself but it was so fitting for my site I had to use it!
Is there a better photo to comment on than the most interesting man in the world?
The Baby Godfather talks about smoking in his house.
I’ll be posting many more memes about electronic cigarette smoking, but for now, this is a good start and gives you the basic idea of the contest I’m running!

Vapor Couture Review: E-Cigarettes for Women!
Posted by Tatiana Rodriguez | Filed under Uncategorized
Vapor Couture is an electronic cigarette brand designed especially for women!
This chic, elegant brand is the latest product of VMR Products, parent company of V2Cigs brand. The Vapor Couture Electronic cigarette is like no other previously released e-cigarette brand. In fact, it’s slimmer, trendier, and comes with all the accessories a woman could want when toting around an e-cigarette.
We were able to obtain an advance product for internal testing, and this is the brand one of our sexy editor’s, named Kat, decided to use when she goes out on the town. Read Kat’s Vapor Couture review is below – please read it if you are shopping for Vapor Couture – she even helps out fellow women with a Vapor Couture discount code & coupon.
Vapor Couture – My Review after Trying this Stylish e-cigarette brand!
Girls Night out!
Hey everyone, I’m Kat, (Far left) a middle-aged female with a pulse on the good life. I like to spend money and buy expensive things, (when my bank account permits, that is) so Vapor Couture was something that immediately caught my attention. What I first want to point out is that Vapor Couture doesn’t look anything close to the other e-cigarettes on the market. There is no big, bulky e-cig battery, rather it’s a very fine, slim battery that is very easy to grip and put away.
This e-cigarette says COSMOPOLITAN all over it. It’s very similar in design aspects to fine brands like louis vuitton, and gucci. I’m not just launching the Vapor Couture brand into that category on a whim, that really says how well-done this e-cigarette is and is a major vote of confidence in the brand. Since it’s made by VMR products, maker’s of V2Cigs, we know the type of quality batteries and components are we are dealing with, and it’s nothing less than first class.
I was surprised with all the cool accessories I was sent along with the Vapor Couture E-Cigarette kit to review. Take a look at everything I got in the mail!
I really like the Vapor Couture Packaging. Elegant!
Here’s a stock photo from their website that shows the batteries.
Shown is the starter kit with batteries. Notice the designs are all unique!
This e-cigarette comes with matching color-cartridges that look great with the elegant e-cigarette batteries made by Vapor Couture. If you are a woman who likes to accessorize, like me, you’ll find this is the best e-cigarette for you. It screams SEXY and is really like nothing else on the market.
Vapor Couture offers the following Flavor Cartridges….
- Arctic Mint
- Strawberry Champagne
- Fresh Mint
- Passion Fruit
- Bombshell
- Rodeo Drive
Vapor Couture allows you to choose the flavors and strengths, so you can go light or heavy, depending on how you like your nicotine. The battery color choices are below:
- White Signature Logo Pattern
- Rose Gold
- Platinum
- Deep Purple
While this is a brand spanking new product for July of 2012, my guess is we’ll be seeing Vapor Couture reviews pouring in from the females out there looking for the most upscale and classy e-cigarette. Please add comments at your leisure, ladies!

Green Smoke Review
Posted by Tatiana Rodriguez | Filed under Uncategorized
Green Smoke has been a top electronic cigarette brand since it came to market in 2008. For a couple years, it was two colored brands (the other being Blu Cigs)dominating the headlines in the electronic cigarette space, at least in the USA markets. Credited with being the first company to introduce the two piece e-cigarette to the US market, Green Smoke reviews remain very strong to this day. The Green Smoke brand has a loyal customer base that continues to grow through their honest, friendly, and reliable customer service. In fact, when many other brands were scrambling to find proper customer service back in 2009 and 2012, Green Smoke separated their brand from the pack by exuding incredible support for all orders, both domestic and international.
Green Smoke is highly recommended by us, as well as many others who shared their Green Smoke reviews & comments.
Once commanding the majority of the market share, Green Smoke has surrendered some of the business to brands like V2Cigs and Bull Smoke. While Green Smoke is still a top five brand which controls a HUGE part of the market in the USA and abroad (Green Smoke offers foreign buyers separate purchasing websites servicing the , the higher price point does become prohibitive for some prospective consumers who buy a brand with a lower barrier to entry. The Green Smoke brand has remained firm on it’s pricing model and continues to remain a top brand despite being on the higher price point.
We love Green Smoke – there isn’t anything bad to say about the brand other than it’s 15-20% higher in price than most other e-cigarette brands. The product, from the battery to the cartridges, is awesome. Green Smoke uses FlavorMax technology, released in the Summer of 2011, to take their e-cig brand to a new level.
This is one product that lives up to the saying “you get what you pay for.”
Currently, Green Smoke offers a variety of starter kits.
The Pro Kit by Green Smoke is the flagship kit, so says Green Smoke. It includes the following:
- 1 Long rechargeable e-cigarette battery
- 1 Short rechargeable e-cigarette battery
- 2 Packs of Cartridges
- USB Charger & USB Cigarette (works with your computer)
- Wall Adapter & Car Adapter
USB Starter Kit by GreenSmoke.com
Of course, with all e-cigarette starter kits now you get a user’s manual and guide on how everything works. This is standard, but Green Smoke lists it in their product offer so obviously they want everyone to know that.
$129 is the retail price, but if you use our discount code, you can save 15% and get that price down to:
The Green Smoke Ultimate Kit is a bit more of a value for anyone looking for the best way to get started smoking e-cigs.
- Contains everything listed above PLUS one more battery of your choice AND a carrying case.
$159.99 is the retail price.
Take off the 15% the company has offered our subscribers and it’s priced at: $135!
Our Green Smoke Coupon Code is: disc10-25367 .
To make it easy, we’ve embedded that code into all the links on this site, so you won’t even have to enter the code when you arrive at GreenSmoke.com
The Express Kit by Green Smoke offers the best way to get into smoking electronically, for just $89.99 . $76.50!
- 1 Battery, 1 pack of cartomizers, 1 USB charger, 1 wall adapter, and one USB Cigarette.
A simple offer that can be had for just $ after our Green Smoke discount code is entered at checkout.
Last, but certainly not least, Green Smoke has an offer for people looking for a kit for two people, which they aptly call the Love Birds Kit.
- 4 Rechargeable electric cigarette batteries. (2 short, 2 long.)
- 4 packs of cartomizers (sold in 5 packs, so you get 20 in total.)
- 2 USB Cigarettes
- 2 USB Home Charger Kits
- 2 Car Adapters
This sells for $239.99, but again we can save you 15% and you can have this sent to you for just $204.
The cartridges offered by Green Smoke are quite tasty and resemble tobacco cigarettes if you try their Tobacco Gold, Absolute Tobacco, or Red Label Tobacco cartridges. If you are looking for menthol, we argue that the Green Smoke Menthol Ice is among the best tasting menthol flavors you can find today.
The exotic flavors offered by Green Smoke are Mocha Mist, Smooth Chocolate, and Vanilla Dreams. Each flavor and tobacco blend is sold in nicotine percentages of 0%, .6%, 1.2%, 1.8%, and 2.4%.
Of course, Green Smoke has all accessories for purchase separately as well, which is convenient should anything go wrong or you just want an extra charger or battery. They just released some new stylish batteries with trendy designs on them. We like to keep things as real as possible, so we stick with a white battery on most occasions and don’t get into all the hoopla and stylish battery options. But, it is a nice feature for the people out there who like to accessorize.
Overall, we give Green Smoke an A- rating in our official Green Smoke Review. Other than the knock on the price point, Green Smoke rates highly in every category and is a brand that backs up their product 100%

Electronic Cigarette Bans: Rush Limbaugh Steps up to the Mic
Posted by Tatiana Rodriguez | Filed under Uncategorized
Rush Limbaugh
“They should be hailed and applauded.” -Rush Limbaugh (on e-cigarettes.)
This is a topic that will certainly draw the ire of many people. Rush Limbaugh, all on his own, is a polarizing figure that people love, or to take the other side of that equation – love to hate. Anything Limbaugh says has a microscope on it, and this latest segment has Rush weighing in on potential e-cigarette bans being discussed in various States.
In the video, Rush shares experiences he has had with electronic cigarettes, including a time when he pulled out an e-cigarette in an elevator and “freaked people out.” An electronic cigarette user, Rush is a huge supporter of a pro-e-cigarette society.
Why shouldn’t he be excited about e-cigarettes?
E-cigarettes should NOT be banned, they are perhaps the greatest invention for our environment of our lifetime.
In a latter part of the segment, Rush discusses his experience in a restaurant where he is told to quit smoking. After telling the restaurant General Manager that it’s an e-cigarette, he goes on smoking and enjoying puffing the water vapor cigarette – only to have him come back to say that someone in the restaurant has a problem with the “example that smoking gives to children.”
This is a great listen about real life experiences of a famous person using an e-cigarette in public. Whether you like or dislike the opinions of Rush Limbaugh, this is a great story about smoking electronically in public areas and the misunderstandings that often happen when people don’t understand how electronic cigarettes work.

Best Electronic Cigarette: How do you find the brand for you?
Posted by Tatiana Rodriguez | Filed under Uncategorized
Not everyone finds the prospect of trusting an e cigarette company enticing. For many smokers, any alternative sounds like a great idea, but for others the mention of electronic cigarettes only brings cynicism and mistrust. What is good about electronic cigarettes? And how can you find the best electronic cigarette for your tastes and your needs?
Here are a few tips to help you find the best electronic cigarette.
1. Take The Time to do The Research
It’s going to take some time to read up on the various forms of electronic cigarette available on the market. There are ecigarettes that look like tobacco cigarettes and there are ecigs that are as big as a ballpoint pen. There are a wide variety of flavors as well as different levels of nicotine, including nicotine-free versions. But most importantly, there are the opinions of many smokers who have gone before you and found the alternative that works for them.
Read vapor cigarette brand reviews. Check out what has worked for people who have quit smoking for good and find out what people think about the customer service at various companies. You’ll always find some mixed information, because it’s impossible for everyone to have a positive experience, but you will learn a lot. Even negative reviews can tell you a lot about different companies. In fact, it will be the negative reviews, and what the specific complaints are, that help you to get an idea of whether or not you want to order from one company or another.
2. Just Test Them Out
On the one hand, most ecigarette companies provide very similar products. Some people say you should just go for it and buy a starter kit from a company that has a good reputation for quick and helpful customer service. That way you will have the supplies you need and you’ll feel a little bit of a financial pressure to use what you’ve bought. You will also be free to not buy cigarettes for a while, which means you’ll get used to the ecigarettes and the habits of smoking them.
But on the other hand, most electronic cigarette companies offer disposable versions of their products. One disposable electronic cigarette is about the same as two or three packs of tobacco cigarettes and you can buy them for about $10 each. That’s a pretty good deal and it will give you a taste of what it’s like to smoke ecigs.
3. In The End, It’s About Personal Taste
Regardless of what anyone else says, finding the best electronic cigarette will be about finding what works for you. Most smokers who make the switch find that the first brand they try works find for them, unless they get a lot of faulty or defective products. On the other hand, there are some people who swear by certain brands for giving the most vapor for each drag. If you can read up on what other people think, then try a couple of brands for yourself, keeping in mind the customer service feedback the brands receive, you will be able to find the best electronic cigarette for you.
