We show you how much you can save, and where to find discounts on e-cig starter kits and cartridges from the top brands (Greensmoke, Smoketip, SouthBeach Smoke and V2). Electronic cigarettes are much cheaper than regular tobacco cigarettes, and to increase these savings, several of the top e-cig brands are offering great discounts right now. If you are already using ecigs and are aware of the cost savings then you may jump to the end of this article to find out about discounts and coupon codes. If, on the other hand, you are still a tobacco smoker: please read on to learn about how you can save up to several thousands of dollars per year by switching to electronic cigarettes. There are many different brands of electronic cigarettes, and all of them offer starter kits. As the name implies, an e-cigarette starter kit contains everything you need to get started: one or two rechargeable batteries, a wall charger, and several cartridges. What exactly is included in the e-cigarette starter kit varies depending on the brand, and some e-cig manufacturers are offering several different starter kits, from budget to deluxe (further down in this article we will give you the link to a website which where you can find an easy comparison between ecig starter kits of different brands). If you are new to electronic cigarettes and want to see if they are for you we recommend to go with one of the less expensive options (currently Smoketip and V2 for only $59.95, or SouthBeach Smoke for only $29.99). If you are hesitant about spending even these modest amounts, consider this: all starter e-cig starter kits include anywhere from 5 to 10 cartridges (depending on kit and brand), each nicotine cartridge equivalent to approximately one pack of cigarettes. Depending on the cost of cigarettes in your local area, you are getting a full system for roughly the same price (or even much less) than you would pay for five to ten packs of regular cigarettes. Once you have the ecig starter kit (and are hopefully enjoying it), the cost of the disposable nicotine cartridges is much lower - actually just a fraction - of the cost of regular tobacco cigarettes. Depending on the brand, cartridges equivalent to one pack of cigarettes will cost you only between $1.50 to less than $2. Based on an average of one pack a day, these savings can easily amount to several thousand dollars per year. Most brands have handy calculators on their websites which make it easy to calculate these savings, based on your personal smoking habits and the cigarette price in your local area. Quit or Reduce Smoking with electronic cigarettes (SmokeTip e-cig review) by Todd Winkler I have been a smoker for over 30 years now, at some point averaging up to two packs a day. Back then cigarettes were cheap, you could smoke in restaurants, bars, hotel rooms, even on trains and airplanes (yes, I do remember that time). The associated health risks could be easily ignored and attributed to the lobbying of the pharmaceutical industry. Well, much has changed over the years: Cigarettes have become quite expensive. Smoking is prohibited almost everywhere. And getting older does not mean getting healthier either, and smoking warnings sink in a little more. My better half (who is also a smoker) has been trying to quit for some time now. I never had quitting in mind, but in order to help I started researching alternatives. After spending hours on various websites, reading user reviews and comparing pricing, I finally settled on one manufacturer - SmokeTip - and placed an order. Their prices for a starter pack (charger, 2 batteries and 6 cartridges) are among the best, and from what I had read in reviews, they also provide excellent customer service, moneyback-guarantee, and lifetime (!!) warranty on the batteries. The batteries are white and look like the tobacco part of the cigarette; the cartridges contain look like the filter and screw into the back of the battery, and they come in different strengths, from 16mg (comparable to regular) over 12mg (Light), 6mg (Ultralight) to 0mg of nicotine. The cartridges also can be ordered in different flavors. My favorite is "Cowboy" (previously called Marrlboro, I guess they had to change the name because of trademark issues), but there is also "Regular", and a variety of other flavors such as chocolate, strawberry, etc. To my big surprise, the electronic cigarettes really worked for me. From the first day, I reduced the "regular" cigarettes (which we now call "analogs") to about 2-4 per day - down from one pack. I go through approximately 1 cartridge per day. They say one cartridge is about the equivalent of one pack of cigarettes, although personally I think it is more like one pack. As I said before (and very much to my surprise), it really works, for me as well as for my better half. The Smoketip cigarettes have a good draw and produce nice "smoke" (of course it is water vapor); they are a longer than a regular cigarette, and of course heavier, but they do give you the illusion of smoking a real cigarette. Taste is different (personally I prefer the "Cowboy" taste), but as I said - it works for me. I keep it in an ash tray (which of course never sees any ashes), just to complete the illusion .. In the meantime I converted a number of friends to the idea, and they all like it. The e-cigarette crowd calls it "vaping", so you are not "smoking a cigarette" but "vaping a vaporette". Changing to electronic cigarettes also shows its effect on your wallet. After investing in the starter pack, a 10-pack of cartridges (pretty much equivalent to one carton of cigarettes) costs about $18 (after discount), so depending on the state you live in you may end up saving anywhere between $30 to $100 per carton .. and that's not so bad either ! The cartridges contain nicotine (except for the 0mg of course), water, and the flavor, plus some other chemicals, I guess. From a health point of view, they do not contain any of they chemicals which are added to the tobacco of regular cigarettes, they do not produce the harmful chemical which is produced in the process of burning tobacco (which is contributing to your cholesterol level), and of course they do not contain tar (which stains your teeth and contributes to lung cancer) or carbon monoxide. Of course they still contain nicotine (which can increase your heart rate and blood pressure) - unless you opt for the 0-mg cartridges (which still give you the "smoking" sensation of inhaling something), but my doctor who urged me for years to quit smoking is quite happy. Now, since they are not real cigarettes they are odorless, and the "smoke" they produce is just water vapor, so technically you can smoke (or better: "vape") anywhere you want to, but experience shows that some places might not like it. Airlines generally will not allow "vaping" on board (so you just go to the bathroom and vape there - it will not set off any smoke detectors), some restaurants or bars may not like it either (just try - you may have to explain). For sure your house, clothes or hair will not smell like smoke !! go to top next page EverSmoke e-cigarettes   SmokeTip e-cigarettes   South Beach Smoke e-cigarettes Green Smoke e-cigarettes    V2 Cigs  electronic cigarette review Top electronic cigarettes   e-cigarette comparison  e-cigarette reviews   SmokeTip e-cigarette reviews   South Beach Smoke e-cigarette reviews Green Smoke e-cigarette reviews  V2 Cigs reviews   e-cigarette savings   e-cigs   Safe electronic cigarettes    e-cigarette discounts e-cigarette promotions Discounts and Savings on Electronic Cigarettes Quit or reduce smoking with Electronic Cigarettes Get rid of Smokers Breath and Cigarette Smell
