EverSmoke Review
One of the clearest divisions between the different electronic cigarettes on the market is between those which choose to emulate the appearance of a tobacco cigarette and the ones who go for something sleeker and more futuristic. Although the vapor production, battery life and the quality of the flavors are considerably more important, different vapers have preferences when it comes to appearance. As an example, Green Smoke’s e-cig is very cigarette-like, whilst V2s look more like something from a Philip K. Dick novel, and there’s a chance you have a preference.
EverSmoke is a Florida-based manufacturer founded in 2010, and is a different brand from the folks over at South Beach Smoke. The main difference between the brands is the appearance, with the South Beach Smoke sporting the faux-rings and amber glowing tip of the tobacco-like style and the EverSmoke going for a more high-tech look. EverSmoke e-cig is the newer imprint, but if you’re happy with the difference in appearance, it could potentially be the brand for you.
The Premium Starter Kit comes with two batteries (one long and one standard in either automatic or manual), five cartridges, USB charger and wall adapter, available for a discounted price of $79.99 (at time of writing). There’s also the Basic Kit, which only has one battery but is cheaper, currently on sale at $59.99.
Pros:
- Great smoke volume
- Manual and automatic batteries available
- Multiple battery sizes
- Ten flavor options
- Signature crystal tip
- VaporMax® cartridge technology
- Compatibility with South Beach Smoke
- Five nicotine levels
- Quick charging
Cons:
- Battery life could be better
- Other brands have better flavors
EverSmoke Packaging and Design
The EverSmoke Premium kit comes in a compact, magnetically closing box, like the majority of brands you’ll encounter. It’s a clean white color, with the “o” logo and curls of green smoke serving as the sole decoration for the minimalistic box. Inside, your batteries are nestled in two slots cut into the felt-lined foam of the upper layer, with plenty of space cut out so you can get your fingers in to pick them up. Underneath you’ll find the chargers, manual, cartridges and a helpful membership card which politely informs people that you are vaping and not smoking. Whilst this is a nice addition, it seems that if you were approached and asked to stop “smoking,” responding by passing a membership card containing a pre-printed message you’d look like you were either completely socially inept or a mute.
The e-cigs themselves have the two-piece design you’d expect, and they offer you the choice of manual or automatic batteries in one of three colors, black, white and stainless steel. The batteries have the EverSmoke logo towards the top, which complements the cool and sophisticated design, and are topped off with a crystal tip. The tips glow orange on inhalation, and two thin slots allow air-flow through the cartridge. Overall, the e-cigs are well-designed, and the cartridges have a silicon tip, which is supposed to prevent leakage. In practice, it doesn’t quite do the job, but experienced vapers will know that this is a common issue, and the EverSmoke e-cigarette does ordinarily do a good job of controlling it.
Nicotine Levels
The cartridges come in five different nicotine levels, which offers a greater level of choice than you’ll find with most manufacturers – for example, V2 only has four. You can choose between No Nicotine, Ultra Light (6mg), Light (12mg), Full Flavored (18mg) and Bold (24mg). This is plenty for both the heavier smokers and anybody who wants to gradually reduce their nicotine consumption. However, Green Smoke also offers five nicotine levels, and White Cloud has six, so they aren’t the leaders in this area. Still, there is nothing to complain about unless you want really strong cartridges.
Flavors and Vapor
The vapor production from the EverSmoke e-cig is excellent, definitely comparable to V2, who are generally recognized as the leaders in this area. You’ll be more than satisfied with the fog of vapor you produce, and the throat hit is just right, enough to make it feel like smoking but not overly painful or dry. For smokers concerned that the output from the e-cig will feel like nothing like what you get from a tobacco cigarette, EverSmoke is one of the companies that will truly impress you. The manual batteries are better in this department, but you still get more than enough vapor if you give the automatic batteries a few priming puffs.
The flavor profile of the EverSmoke e-cigarette is a bit of a mixed bag. There are ten in total: Cherry Crush, Cool Menthol, Classic Tobacco, Very Vanilla, Coffee Creation, Peppermint Party, Piña Colada, Peach Passion, Royal Tobacco and Golden Tobacco. Overall, they’re well-executed, but they’re consistently not quite as strong as some users may like. The Classic Tobacco boasts a sweet edge, and the menthols work well because they aren’t overpowering. The stand-out flavors for me are the Very Vanilla and the Cherry Crush, because the intended flavor comes through more strongly, and is replicated very accurately. It is compatible with South Beach Smoke’s cartridges, though, so you get more options than these alone. It is worth mentioning that the flavors die out noticeably as you work through the cartridge.
Battery
The EverSmoke batteries come in three different sizes, so the life you get will depend on which you choose. Manual batteries will also drain 25 percent quicker, on average. The standard battery is good for between 200-250 puffs, which is enough to vape the equivalent of a pack of cigarettes. The longer batteries boost this to about 350, making it better for heavier users. In practice, the battery life seems to be shorter than that (which is generally the case, as the per-puff count is under ideal conditions), although this is only really an issue with the standard size battery, which you may find running out a little too regularly. You’d have to take two to work with you, just in case, but you probably wouldn’t need it unless you’re a heavy smoker. The charger is the pen-drive, poke-precariously-out-of-your-laptop style that is still widely used, aside for by savvier brands such as V2. Charging is pretty quick, which partially makes up for the slightly short battery life on the standard battery.
Manufacturing and Warranty
One of the biggest selling-points of EverSmoke is that the e-cigs are assembled and tested in the US, providing even greater confidence in the quality of the product. No issues came up through the testing period, aside from the automatic battery occasionally remaining activated for a second or two after I stopped inhaling. This is about as minor as points can get, though, and the quality of the production is undeniable.
If you receive a regular delivery of cartridges (monthly to bi-monthly) as part of EverSmoke’s Home Delivery Program, you receive a lifetime warranty. This provides free replacements for any defective batteries (under normal use) for the duration of your deliveries. If you don’t get the deliveries, you receive the same offer but only for a year. This is a great warranty that really rewards loyal customers.
Overall
The EverSmoke e-cig is one of the best options you’ll find on the market, with ample vapor production, plenty of nicotine levels, a decent selection of flavors and reliable, US-based assembly and testing. The battery life is the only thing that really lets it down, and it’s one of the areas where competitors like Green Smoke and V2 really blow it out of the water. This small gripe aside, however, there is very little to complain about with the EverSmoke e-cig.

EverSmoke Review,

Everything has been solid with these guys. Shipping is a little slow so make sure to order cartridges way in advance, otherwise you’ll end up taking a trip to the store for a pack of cigs.
I just purchased a kit from eversmoke and I like it so far. They could have done a better job with the flavors, vapour is good (similar to what you would get from a cigarette), and service has been good so far. Will leave a review again after a few weeks of use.
I would strongly recommend that you look to other e-cig providers. My product experience with Eversmoke was acceptable at best but my recent customer service experience was nothing short of HORRIFIC. To start with the products:
The Vapor – Good to excellent. There is a ridiculously strong throat hit (almost to the point of painful) and the vapor production is on par with some of the better known companies like GreenSmoke, etc.
Cartridge Lifespan – Poor. A couple hours at best. Whats more, I found that in every package of five cartridges, at least one didn’t work at all. That’s a rip off.
Battery Life – Average. Several Hours at best.
The Customer Service – STAGGERING.
My first three orders shipped without issue so I decided to sign up for the monthly subscription and as fate would have it, after only one month, they failed to ship my latest monthly order on the promised date. When I called CS to ask about the status of my order they responded with, “There was a glitch in the system. It didn’t ship.” When I asked what is meant by “glitch in the system” she told me, “I don’t know. A glitch. There was a glitch and it didn’t ship. It can ship tomorrow.” hen I asked why the order couldn’t go out today I was told that it is after noon on the east coast and mail no longer ships after noon. Hm. Well, you see, this is simply not true. I lived in NYC for three years and many a day enjoyed the opportunity to post something in the mail as late as 7pm! Imagine that. Again, the effort level of your customer service gets a D- for excessive apathy.
I requested to speak with a supervisor or someone who was actually willing to provide a more articulate explanation of why a company that is relatively up and coming in the e-cig world, could be so blatantly repugnant of their customers. The rep then informed me that she will notify her managers who will, in turn, call me back up to 72 HOURS LATER. really. Really? THREE DAYS? Your managers need three days to return customer calls? Having worked in a retail capacity for many years I know the phones are not ringing off the hook with random customer compliments. Customers don’t do that, you see. Customers complain and I have a feeling MANY of their customers are doing just that.
Definitely a solid product with lots of delicious flavors to choose from. The only thing I would mention is that my battery died after two months of using it but their customer service replaced it right away, so the end result is still to my satisfaction.
Super Great =)
My Girlfriend purchased a kit for my birthday from EverSmoke.com and she was very happy with the entire shopping experience. She shops a lot, so if her word means quiet a lot.
I’m happy with the products, by my girlfriend is even happier because she doesn’t have to put up with the bad smell of cigarettes.
Finally, a healthy life and a healthy relationship.
Solid products, never disappoint, always there when you need them, help you quit smoking and definitely get rid of the nasty cigarette smell =)
I received a cartridge that was completely empty. I contacted the customer service and they sent me a replacement plus a bonus which made up for the inconvenience. Besides that experience, it’s been a smooth ride with EverSmoke.
Just received my kit…they’re amazing. Really good products.
Eversmoke was my first e-cig. It was suggested to me by a long time smoker who switched to e-cigs. My first order came faster. I was contacted by a member specialist to sign up so that I get all batteries for free and free shipping. The first few orders arrived either on time or early but lately, it takes more than a week. Last week I ordered a 15 pack of my favorite. It was listed as 20% off. When I emailed my account representative and asked why I was charged at full price, he replied hastily and said that I got the discount which I didn’t. I received my order a few days back. The 15 pack they delivered lasted 3 hours per cartridge and I didn’t change my usual habbits. I’m not sure how many people experience this. I think I’m getting ripped off. My account representative is George Gonzalez.
I found ES on FB and have been a fan since. Which they had more contests and giveaways. I’m a student on low budget and it would help me a lot if I could win a kit now and then. But I guess I shouldn’t be smoking in the first place if I can’t afford to pay for it, lol. Anyways, as far as ES goes, I’d recommend them over other brands. It’s a safe choice.
The first time I ordered from EverSmoke last year, I thought the quality of their products was alright. But I placed another order two weeks ago and I was totally impressed with the improvements they have made on their product quality. I mean the vapor production has increased, the batteries last longer, the flavors taste better, the smoke is smoother on my throat, the website and customer service has improved. Overall it’s a whole new and better company than they were a year ago. I guess they realized that they won’t have a chance in the industry unless they do something amazing. Good for them.
I guess my experience wasn’t as good as everyone else. My package arrived two days late and customer service took three days to responssd.
5/5 – product quality.
5/5 – customer service.
5/5 – vapor smoke
5/5 – price.
5/5 – shipping.
5/5 – design.
EverSmoke rocksssssss!!!
good s****
If you’re new to the whole e-cigarette world, I’d say EverSmoke is a solid brand to stick with.
From experience, I know that it’s best to try a few products before you permanently stick w/one brand. So try EverSmoke and few others and decide for yourself.
I don’t think EverSmoke is getting the attention they should be getting. I think companies such as Blu Cigs get loads of attention due to their strong marketing tactics, but when it comes down to manufacturing a good product, they come short.
If you’re not 100% sure, try their disposables which are priced really cheap. You’ll see for yourself.
Eversmoke was my first e-cigarette and they ROCK! I LOVE my e-cig to death. Everything from price, service, performance, battery output to vapor production is hands down the best. No other electronic cigarette company comes close to comparing with eversmoke.
Eversmoke needs to increase the quality of their “Classic Tobacco” cartridges. They don’t taste all that good.
Off the hook!
I ordered my product three weeks ago and still hasn’t arrived. i think there is an issue at the post office or something. Not their fault, but I’m still frustrated. Does anyone know what can be done? I hope I can get my kit before my B-Day =)
What happened to EverSmoke rich flavors? They used to have better tasting cartridge flavors, now I think the quality has decreased a bit. But still one of my favorites. Vapor production is awesome, it’s well priced, and customer service is down to earth.
I have no choice but to give eversmoke a 5/5. I had the best possible experience with them. My kit got lost in the mail, after a week of follow up with post office, eversmoke stepped in and solved the issue by sending me a new kit. Love them to death!
I’ve been using eversmoke for some time now and all I can say is that they’ve done a good job at coming up with a product that is meant to last. Very good quality.
