With the trending e-cigarettes booming (and devices like vape pens) in the international markets, there comes a variety of options for one to choose from. Manufacturers have not been left behind either, there are many out there. This means that one needs to make a unique selection out of the many brands. There are also accessories that come with them. Let me not wander away from our topic here; so below is coverage of factors a buyer needs to put in mind before making the purchase.

• E-cigarette design. This is not only the look but the feel (texture) of the cigarette. Also, you need to compare its size and functionality. Due to this, there are three options to choose from. First, is the mini model, which is common among the vapour smokers. Majority of the manufacturers in the vapour industry offers this type. It tends to mimic the traditional cigarette. While the other models remain to be thick and sleek, this one tends to be thin and lightweight. For the first time users and transition users, this model can come in handy. The only probe is that you will have to put up with the low battery life and performance. The second is the mid-sized models. These models are slightly larger than the mini models. Close to the size of a cigar, they are built to last longer and give your stronger puffs. Last, is the APVs or the Mods. Commonly used by experienced smokers. They are large, meaning you have to get used to holding them. They are more complex than the previous models. They offer the user ultimate control with a simple push of a button. They give out the strongest vapour and have customizing options. Now back to the factor, you need to gauge the convenience and performance of the e-cigarette. The mini models are the smallest yet the easiest to use. On the flipside, its performance is limited. This model is therefore suitable for light-moderate smokers but it will be a major setback for heavy users. For the long-term users, you might consider using a mid-sized or Mods. With no experience with both the mni and mid-sized e-cigs, purchasing a Mod would be a white elephant.

• Performance. For this one, you have to consider three factors. The first is the vapour production, estimated by the amount of the nicotine vapour produced per puff. The more the vapour production is the more realistic vapour smoking becomes, this is especially true for the ego vape pens. For starters, this might not be an issue but in the case of heavy smokers, the vapour volume counts. Another one is the throat hit (see the best ego vape pen). This is simply described as the spicy sensation you fill down the throat once you take a puff. The stronger it is, the more realistic the smoking becomes. Lastly, is battery life. For a heavy smoker, you will require a high capacity battery to power up your device; this might not be an issue when it comes to moderate users. For the vapour production, there is no specific unit that is why you will need to conduct some research on the blogs to read the customers’ reviews and feedback regarding the product. For the battery life, it is well labelled at the back of the e-cig along with ways to increase your battery life.

• E-cigarette quality. For this one, you need to consider some factors, such as the reputation of manufacturer. Visit websites to get adequate information on the product. This will help you have a general picture of the quality of e-cig you are likely to get. Also by doing this, you will get to know the warranty period of the products the manufacturer’s deal in. The minimum warranty you should go for is ninety days. Also, be keen to check on the test results of the e-cigs by the standardizing companies as it will help you know the quality of the e-cig.

• Flexibility options available. For any e-cigarette, it is always advisable to look at the varieties, flavours and accessories that come with owning one. If the e-cigarette does not meet your personal preferences, you will just have to let go of it. For instance, if the flavour you wanted is not provided, you can just go for another one. Also, if the manufacturer only provides one type of battery option you will have to leave it. A good e-cig or vapor pen should provide both the automatic and manual options, failure to which will lead you being uncomfortable when using. Moreover, the cartridges should be interchangeable. A disposable e-cig can turn out to be more pricy than you had budgeted.
