E-Cigarette Review: Volcano Sampler Kit

Deborah Woehr
I decided to try the Volcano E-Cigarette after reading rave reviews both on the e-cigarette forum and on the Volcano e-cig website. The Sampler Kit was perfect because it is priced at $40, which isn't bad for a basic kit.

I placed the order on Sunday and received them today, pleased that I was able to opt for the FedX shipment. What I also liked was the option to order without setting up an account with them first. The downside to that is that I don't earn "Volcano Points".

The Kit

My immediate thought when I pulled the box out of the envelope was that the box looked exactly like the Blu, except with the Volcano label. Even the cartridges and cartridges look exactly the same. The sampler kit contains 1 battery, 1 atomizer, 1 USB charger, a detailed instruction manual and 1 carton of whatever flavor you ordered to come with the kit. In my case I ordered the tobacco flavor.

Vaping with the Volcano E-Cigarette

I pulled the blank cartridge off, snapped on the tobacco cartridge and took my first puff. My heart sank when I didn't get the amount of vapor that I had hoped for. I waited for a moment, and then took a softer, longer drag. This time, I felt the atomizer heat up on my fingers and a stronger hit against my throat. More vapor billowed out of my mouth when I exhaled.

Curious, I took my Volcano E-Cigarette into my office and tried one of the cartridges for the Blu Cig. It worked! The Volcano cartridges also work on the Blu Cig. The only thing I don't like about the Volcano cartridges is that they aren't coded like the Blu. For instance, the cherry cartridge has a "CC" on it so that I know what flavor I'm about to vape.

Although I didn't care much for the tobacco for the Volcano, I'm anxious to try the other flavors, such as the Coconut and the Chocolate.

The Instruction Manual

The instruction manual is very detailed, with pictures that demonstrate how to charge the V-Battery, how to clean it and how to vape with the Volcano E-Cigarette. The "how to vape" section will help people who are new to using e-cigarettes.

The USB Charger

The USB charger looks and works the same way as the one for the Blu. I was also curious to know if the V-Battery would fit in the Blu pack for an additional charging resource. It does not.

Customer Service

Volcano E-cigs has great customer service, which is huge for me. I decided to place another order to try out their cartridges. Less than 20 minutes after I placed the order, I received a shipment notification email from them.

Verdict

The Volcano E-cigarette is very good, if not better than the Blu Cig. Their customer service is definitely better than Blu Cig, and their prices are very reasonable. If I were to recommend an E-cigarette to a friend, I would send them to the Volcano website to have them try their Sampler Kit.
