European Union Workshop on Electronic Cigarettes Leaves Everyone Confused
On May 7th, the European Parliment organized a workshop to present e-cigarette regulatory issues to MEPs (Members of the European Parliament).

In a desperate attempt to quit smoking, a woman from Sacramento, California, slapped a police officer in order to get sent to jail where she would have no access to cigarettes.

The Smoker’s Halo Ultra Tank Review
Most of the electronic cigarettes I've reviewed so far have been analog-like mini models, because that's what the majority of smokers are interested in, and while I love my trusty KR808, I'm also a big fan of eGo-style e-cigarettes. So when E-Cigarette Direct offered me the chance to test their Halo Ultra Tank starter kit, I jumped at the opportunity. It may not have that familiar cigarette look that so many newbie vapers are drawn to, but it's just as easy to use and it gives users the chance...
Revolver Talon Tank System Review
Unlike most of the e-cigarettes I've reviewed so far, the Talon Tank System from Revolver E-Cigs doesn't have that analog look. It's considerably longer, bulkier and a bit trickier to use, but this model definitely has its advantages. The Talon is just a branded version of the popular eGo T vaporizer, the kind you can find at most e-cig suppliers, under various names and set-ups. Revolver's package, for example, features two batteries, a standard 650 mAh and a heavy-duty 1000 mAh, and...

SmokeTip E-Cigarette Review
SmokeTip doesn't have the most impressive website and its marketing strategy isn't nearly as aggressive as that of other big electronic cigarette brands out there, but it's been around for a very long time and seems to remain one of the most popular e-cig choices. I wanted to see what makes it so appealing to so many people, and since I managed to get my hands on one of their starter kits, I decided to put it to the test. Here's my review of the SmokeTip e-cigarette:
South Beach Smoke Review
If you're reading this, than you've probably already heard about South Beach Smoke. It's one of the hottest electronic cigarette brands right now, and that's practically the main reason I decided to do a review of their product. With new names popping up in the business virtually every day, building a name for yourself is pretty tough, but South Beach Smoke has somehow managed to become one of the most popular e-cigarette companies in the world. But advertising and great marketing in general...
