Frequently Asked Questions

What are "eCigs"?

Electronic cigarettes -- also known as eCigs, e-cigs (or "e cigs"), e cigarettes, vapor cigarettes, electric cigarettes, or smokeless cigarettes -- are a relatively new tobacco smoking alternative that feels and tastes just like a real cigarette with one key difference: instead of combusting (burning) tobacco and creating smoke it vaporizes a liquid nicotine solution into a tar-free, smoke-free, carbon-monoxide-free, and odorless vapor. BuyEcig.com sells only the best electronic cigarettes on the market. Take a look at our electronic cigarette reviews on our product pages and see for yourself -- both the Green Smoke and Blu e-cigarettes are top of the line for a reason!

Many people ask, since the product is tar free & odorless, are electronic cigarettes harmful?

We do not make any health claims at BuyEcig.com (making health claims is against FDA guidelines). Other e cig websites you see across the internet may do that and will have to deal with the consequences for doing so. We like to focus on the facts: Electronic cigarettes utilize propylene glycol, glycerin, water, and flavoring additives. All of these ingredients have been used in consumer products for a long time. Propylene glycol, which is the main vapor producing ingredient, is used in cosmetics, food, and certain FDA approved drugs, as well as asthma inhalers dating back to the 1950's. There is people who have been electronic smoking for years now, many claim that they feel better about using the product and approve of it as an acceptable alternative to tobacco. When comparing e-cigarettes to cigarettes, there is definitely a huge difference in the smell, and the ingredient list. E-cigarettes do not produce odor, and only contain a minimal amount of ingredients compared to the extensive list of tobacco cigarette ingredients.

What are the ingredients in e liquid?

E liquid (also known as e juice) consists of propylene glycol, glycerin, water, flavoring additives and optional nicotine. Most users prefer e liquid nicotine but some choose to want to smoke an e cigarette without nicotine. Propylene glycol is the ingredient that produces the vapor. It is a food additive that has a "GRAS" rating or "Generally recognized as safe" and is approved for use in consumer products such as cosmetics, and many FDA approved drugs. It has also been found in certain brands of asthma inhalers dating back to the 1950's and is currently found in all types of mouth and throat spray sold at your average American drug store. There is all types of e liquid reviews across the internet which seems to be an endless e liquid source for those looking for it. However, you want to make sure that you are getting the right e liquid from someone who knows the correct e liquid recipe to ensure that the product is functioning efficiently, creating the proper amounts of vapor, and transferring nicotine accordingly. There is an e cigarette forum and research sites you can find on Google where you can research e liquid nicotine, which also has many e liquid reviews. We feel that some of the best e liquid is sold on our website. Our brand of Blu e liquid is well known and extremely popular with smokers across the United States. We also have another amazing brand which is the Green Smoke e liquid brand which uses an incredible e liquid recipe that is formulated right here in the USA. The e liquid reviews on both products have been phenomenal, if you are looking for the best e liquid - e juice, then you are in the right place.

Where can I read e cigs reviews?

There are e cigs reviews posted by our customers in the e-cigs review section of our site. There are also several sites across the internet that review electronic cigarettes. Just the other day we received the best ecig review so far by a smoker of 40 years who was completely astounded by the product and enjoyed it so much that they switched on the spot. The e cigs for sale on BuyEcig.com are what we feel to be the highest quality product in the industry. Our new Green Smoke electronic cigarettes are receiving the best ecig reviews from smokers all around the globe and is being considered one of the best e cigs for sale, period.

What would you consider the best e cigs on the market?

If we had to pick what was one of the best e cigs on the market we would say that it is the Blu electronic cigarette equipped with all the accessories. It is receiving amazing e cigarette reviews where ever we take it and from whomever buys it. The Vapor King cig just doesn't compare... neither does the Njoy e cigarette. The Blu ecigs operate more efficiently, do not contain any absorbent material inside of the cartridge and is filled with the best ecig juice in the industry. The tobacco taste is just like the real thing and many people could not substitute for any other type of e cigarette tobacco flavor after they tried it. The Blu menthol flavor is also another one of the best e cig juice formulations.

How does your company compare to competing brands?

Our products are superior to any in the industry. After comparing the blu Ecig electronic cigarette reviews to Vapor King e cigs reviews, the volcano e cigs review, and the njoy ecigarette reviews, you can see that blu is by far still the best... and as one of the firsts in the game, will always be. Most competing brands like Duosmoke electronic cigarettes, Vapor King electronic cigarettes, Volcano e cigs, and the Joy E Cigarette, smoking everywhere, firelight e cigarette starter kit, the safe cig, south beach smoke, smoke51, njoy e cig, ecstacy cigarettes, ruyan, and many others are still using outdated atomizer systems. We only sell the two best brands: blu and Green Smoke!

How long have e cigarettes been around?

Electronic cigarettes were invented in 2003 in China and started to gain popularity in the United States a few years after. The past couple years, 2010-2011, they really hit the main stream and governments all around the world started to take notice and realize that there is an amazing product here that is going to seriously alter current tobacco and pharmaceutical industries. The FDA just recently ruled that they are not going to regulate the electronic cigarette as a medical device (which they previously tried to do) and will recognize it as a tobacco product subject to tobacco regulations that will be brought forth soon.

Should I get a disposable e cig or an e cigarette starter kit?

When you are first starting out, if you have never tried an e cigarette starter kit before, and you don't want to make the initial investment into e cigarettes just yet, then you can always start with disposable e cigarettes. Disposable e cigarettes are just single, pre-filled units that are equivalent to a pack of cigarettes and simply run out and are ready to be recycled when finished. The electronic cigarette starter kit is a little bit different and allows for the battery to be recharged and the e cigarette cartridges to be refilled. The refilling and recharging allows for substantial savings when you compare the price to that of purchasing real cigarettes. You can even buy ecig starter kits that are made for "couples" and contain enough ecig stuff for two people to enjoy!

What to do with old e cigarette batteries, disposable e cigarette batteries and e cigarette atomizers when finished?

We are in the process of developing a special way with incentive so customers can send in their recycled cartridges and components, also a way for any stores that retail our products to collect them for proper recycling. Once electronic cigarettes goes further main stream, we can't very well have the ever growing cigarette butt population in the form of lithium ion batteries sitting in garbage dumps. So we have taking the initiative now to correct this easily foreseeable problem and will soon be announcing a way to recycle your used batteries and cartridges.

Is this the same as the starter kit health? or the e health cigarette?

There are a few generic electronic cigarette products floating around that many people may have seen or tried that says "starter kit health" on the box, or "e health cigarette". BuyEcig.com carries a far superior line of products to these "knock off" e cigarette kits and would never write "health" on the packaging of an electric cigarette starter kit. The e cigarette electronic smoking device is a revolution in the world of smoking. More and more people every day are deciding to switch to e cigarettes and are purchasing e cigarettes kits daily.

Should I buy electronic cigarette refill cartridges or e liquid?

You will eventually need to purchase cartridges and e liquid (liquid nicotine). The e liquid comes pre-filled in cartridges or it can be purchased by the 10ml bottle. The cartridges are convenient because they are pre-filled, however, a great way to save money is to purchase e liquid and refill ecig cartridges yourself. You will also probably find that with a few drops of e liquid prior to smoking your e cig that the product works at an optimal level. There is more vapor produced because of those few drops you added which makes sure the absorbent material that holds the nicotine liquid in place is fully saturated and ready to be vaporized. It makes for a strong flavorful puff! You can simply order electronic cigarette refill cartridges and e liquid right off of our site or by calling Buy eCig at 1-866-437-2748 to place your order over the phone. The product usually arrives within 2-5 business days!
