Smoke Tip reviews looked good when I was introduced to this brand in 2009. Since then, many new e cigarette brands have popped up and sort of eclipsed Smoke Tip as a premier brand.
I can’t say a bad thing about Smoke Tip. They offer quality products at a very reasonable price.
In fact, Smoke Tip has a vaporized smoke that has been a favorite e-cig of a friend of mine named Mason. Smoke Tip is an electric cigarette company that is held in high regard by budget vapor smoke users. Smoke Tip offers free shipping on all orders and delivers within 1-3 business days. (See their official website for more information if you are outside of the USA.)
I made an order in early December, 2010, to do a fair Smoke Tip review. The order arrived in 4 business days and I took about a week to test the device.
Here are the highlights of the brand. Mason says it’s his pick as the best e cigarette smoking device on the market today…..scroll down to see if I agreed in my no holds barred Smoke Tip Review.
Affordable? YES. Smoke Tip sells it’s starter kit for $59.99.
Flavors? YES. Smoke Tip offers 10 flavors including Peach, Cherry, and even an almond flavor!
Money Back Guarantee? YES. Full 30 days.
The last item worth noting is that every cartridge comes with an atomizer, meaning you never have to worry about that as they are packaged together. That’s a big thing for e-cig smokers to worry about, but with Smoke Tip you don’t have to.
My opinion on Smoke Tip….
I’ve tried over 50 brands of electronic cigarettes, and this one makes the cut and belongs in the top class of e-cigarettes. As far as smoke volume, ease of draw, and experience, it compares to V2 Cigs, Green Smoke, and the Safe Cig. As far as accessories and a more involved experience, it comes up a little short. That’s not a big deal, and Smoke Tip is a perfect e-cigarette for some people. I just don’t see the marketing and sense of desire that other brands have to really get the message out about vapor cigarettes, which to me is a little odd as this industry is growing rapidly. Maybe I’m wrong….time will tell. On the other hand, less is more sometimes. No need to over-sell. The Smoke Tip does a great job at putting out a quality electronic cigarette, and people who try it will agree. I respect the simplicity, and enjoy the product personally.

Thanks for reading my electric cigarette review blog, and I hope you find yourself joining the vapor smoking revolution!
Mason is correct! I haven’t had a ‘analog’ cigarette in 11 days! Don’t crave it, not cranky or jittery! Loving this new way! My favorite is the vanilla.
I have had my Smoke Tip long enough to have realy run it through its paces. Excellent vapor and flavor. The fact that it has cartomizers like Green Smoke,(atomizer and cartrige in one so you dont worry about replacing broken atomizers) takes away a lot of problems. In fact it would seem that Smoke Tip rips off the best of the e-cigarrette best, to deliver an afordable product, with all the bells and whistles. My guess is that people that have the money for the “expensive” stuff will buy the “expesive” stuff. As for me, I am a factory worker, and $50.00 extra for the name, is ridiculous. FAST, free shipping,and an unbelievable guarantee that lest me return any battery for ANY reason, and WITHOUT proof of purchase, for as LONG as I own it. Just send it back, and in a few days…..new one in hand. I can look my kids in the eye with a deal like that
I too purchased smoke tip 8 weeks ago. Have Not used a tobacco cigarette since!!!
I am just too pleased with smoke tip! My kit contained 6 cartridges and they did not work. I emailed smoke tip they sent new ones I received them in 2 days I did not even have to send the nonworking ones back. They are wonderful folks to work with. So I have no doubt they would live up to their lifetime warranty on the battery.
All I can say is GREAT COMPANY WITH GOOD PRICES!!!!
Good to hear Becky, Smoke Tip runs a great operation. Glad you like their brand of e-cigarettes.
What does Mason say about the longevity of the cartridges and battery life? Will a battery charge last through one cartridge? Does he (or anyone else here) think their max. dose (16mg.) would satisfy a 1 to 1 1/2 pk a day smoker without sucking down 3 cartridges a day? I really like their prices, reputation for customer service and fast shipping, lifetime warranty (even on the batteries) and flavor options. I don’t expect anyone else to know if this one would handle my addiction Haha…I don’t even know…Just looking for other’s personal experience.
Rick,
I just left Mason a Voice Mail. He’ll be back in touch with me soon as this is his brand of choice. Please stay tuned or get in touch with me directly at Andy @ bestvaporcigarettereviews.com
I went ahead and ordered the starter kit from SmokeTip on Friday (day after Thanksgiving). They shipped on Sat. and it arrived on Monday. I got both batteries charged up by Tues. a.m. and started using it when I got home from work about 6pm Tues. Pretty impressed so far. Will offer a detailed review after a little more time with it but I have a question. The harshness or mildness of the e-cigs. (the feeling in the throat). Is it directly related to the nicotine level of the carts. or effected by flavoring only? Thanks.
Hey Rick.
Thanks for coming back. Smoke Tip makes a quality product. The harsh and mildness usually is from the strength of the nicotine level. Most of the flavors are less MG that that of the “regular” (tobacco, menthol, that is) cigarette flavors. Are you a smoker of the flavors or mostly regular or menthol?
This is my first e-cig other than a disposable N-Joy so I don’t know if I like the other flavors or not….yet. The SmokeTip definitely taste better and more vapor.
Experience so far; Charged both batteries as instructed for 8 hours initial charge. Started using it Tues. at 6pm. Bedtime at midnight & back up at 5am. First battery didn’t give up till 10pm Wed. First cartridge still putting out good so switched to batt. #2. I was up to almost 2 pks./day with reg tobacco cigs. From 6pm Tues. till bedtime Wed. night used 5 reg tob. cigs. No real withdrawal noticeable. Up at 5am Thursday and FIRST cartridge started getting warm & weak about 2pm. Switch to new cart. 2nd batt. gave up about 4pm. Have had 3 reg. tob cigs today. Haven’t used it that much more today but batt. # 2 didn’t last nearly as long but still very impressive I think. All in all, considering I was at almost 2 pk/day I’m impressed with the performance and craving satisfaction that I’m experiencing so early in the change over.
Andy,
I know this may not be the proper place to ask about another e-cig, but I have researched and decided to try a Smoke Tip starter kit. The lifetime battery guarantee and reports of extended battery life are what I’m interested in seeing.
I started back in July with a Joye 510 starter kit for $35 and was about to order some new batteries when I found your site- I appreciate the info you provide.
I thought I’d join you in the quest to experiment. I am satisfied with the Joye, but the battery life seems to be rapidly decreasing with each charge. It will be interesting going from a manual three-piece to an automatic two-piece.
Smoke tip is a great brand, I don’t smoke them with any consistency but in my trials – all good!
I am experiencing decreasing battery life after 4 days of use. Followed instructions to a “T” on initial charge of 8 hours. After that….3 hours. Initially I would get 95-100 drags on a charge but each recharge saw that dwindle till they were only lasting a few hours, roughly 30 drags, draws or puffs, whichever term you use. I followed their maintenance instructions for battery issues by cleaning with alcohol and resetting the batt by blowing and sucking on each end and then charged for 8 hours (both batteries). The first one was no different, but the second one I got about 65 draws so it improved. I’m going to try redoing the first one again before calling SmokeTip. I really hope this works out as I really want this to work because I’m super impressed with their product and especially their customer service. From what I’ve read and experienced I’ve no doubt they will remedy this.
Andy, Just wondering if you’ve had a chance to begin a serious ‘test’ into Smoke Tip at this point. I’m reading all that I can find on brands before I order and saw that you may begin your own analysis on this one. Tks for this site, it is most helpful to all us ‘wannabnons’
Wannabnon, I gave my Smoke Tip kit to a friend of mine, but I ordered another as I am doing a video review of the product this week. I expect it to arrive tomorrow and will update my review at that point. If you want, email me andy@ bestvaporcigarettereviews.com and I’ll give you my initial feedback immediately. (Sort of remind me, I should have it today/tomorrow according to the tracking they sent me.)
Just started my smoketip today. Love the hit and the taste. First ecig for me, so my only complaint is it feels weird lol.
That’s natural. It’s a tiny bit of a different feeling, being you go from the soft tip of a tobacco cig to the more durable cartomizer.
Well bought my Smoke Tip because of several reviews & after talking to Kristi @ Smoke Tip, who is the greatest IMHO.
The product preforms as advertised by their website says & the cartos are great as I have refilled them several times.
I was a 1 1/2 pk a day smoker for 48 years & haven’t had a analog since I received my kit on Dec. 15th.
Have tried other kits but the Smoke Tip is a real winner IMHO.
I have suggested e-cigs or PVs, which ever you wish to call them, to all my smoking friends to help them kick the analogs also. Great kit, just get one & try it.
Good stuff, always a big, big welcome to success stories. Thanks for your feedback Olvaporer.
Andy, I read all of the reviews and I’m just curious about one thing. In your opinion would you buy Smoke Tip over Safe Cig (if you can say)? I’m torn between the two options. I reviewed your video for Safe Cig and that’s what I was thinking about purchasing originally before I found your video and until I found this web forum for Smoke Tip. I also read that Smoke Tip was rated as #2 and Safe Cig was at #3. Of course, I understand that every product will be rated differently depending on which site you read. Since I’ve narrowed down to either above, I’m trying to decide do I spend $59.95 for Smoke Tip or $137.95-5% discount for Safe Cig? There’s a big difference in price. I smoke capri 120’s regular. I’m not sure which would be equivalent to that for either company and my husband smokes Merit Menthol. That one is easy to pick except I’m not sure which mg to select for menthol. Thanks for your help and I appreciate all of the information you have provided.
I’d buy the Safe Cig, personally. Nothing against the Smoke Tip brand, but I’ve seen many people post rave reviews (elsewhere) about Safe Cig. Can’t say Smoke Tip has the same following, but they are a quality brand.
IF price is a big issue, go with Smoke Tip. If it’s not, go with the Safe play….
Want to try my first e cig in attempting to give up smoking (appx. 1 pack a day of marlboro lights). I know the key for me will be getting the most realistic/similar smoking experience as far as taste goes. What brand do you recommend for that and why? I was wavering between Smoke Tip as cost is a factor and Safe Cig- again taste and experience matter most! Thanks
For taste + experience + the most important factor for me, go with Green Smoke. Can’t go wrong. Smoke tip is good for the value, but I seem to get more vapor out of GS.
What about Safe cig? I want the one that tastes the most like a cigarette (Marlboro light preferably). That is what is going to be key for me. What flavor/strength in Green Smoke would I chose? Why are their prices so much higher then the rest?
Safe Cig is great – many people think they emulate real cigs the best. Green Smoke is highest priced because it’s the BEST. Get what you pay for sometimes, you know….
Marlboro Lights would be a 6 or 12 mg in Green Smoke.
Ordered Smoke Tip and had it in hand in two days.
Customer service & shipping could not be better. Great taste, good vapor.
Only problem was after only 4 days batteries started to go down hill. They degraded to a point each was only good for 30-40 drags between charges. Followed their instructions for cleaning and resetting the batteries but it didn’t change anything. I know they would replace the batteries but I really didn’t have much faith in the batteries after getting two bad ones in the same kit. Took advantage of the 30 day money back guarantee which went quickly and without hesitation. Hope they improve the batteries and I would definitely try them again.
I’ve now had the SafeCig Deluxe kit for a week. So far, it’s perfect. Taste exactly like a tobacco cig, amazing amount of vapor. Also like the fact the charger turns off when the batteries are charged so you can plug it in, go to bed and forget about it. Apparently most of the brands you have to watch the time and unplug after so many hours or it can ruin the batteries. SmokeTip was 3-4 hrs. If a battery went dead right before bed time I would wait and charge it at work the next morning.
BEST MENTHOL CARTRIDGES BY FAR!!!! FLAVOR AND EASE OF DRAW IS OUTSTANDING AND LASTS LONGER!!
Andy,
Referring to your post of 12/13/10. Wondering what your comments were in regard to the new SmokeTip kit you received. Thanks much!
Love it! It’s simple, gives a lot of vapor, and is as as quality as any other. It’s not flashy or anything, but provides great vapor and a good throat hit. I need to update my review. Will do that soon, thank for the reminder Donna D.
I used to be a pack a day smoker of ultra light cigs for 20+ years. I ordered my smoketip kit last August and haven’t looked back. The assorted flavors don’t appeal to me – I just wanted something that made me think I was smoking a real cig. Fortunately, they offer Marlboro flavor, or ‘Cowboy’. I actually go with the 16 mg even though I was an ultra light smoker. I find with the higher amount, you get a satisfying pull with little effort which means the cartridge lasts longer. I did use the 12’s for a while but was going through the cartridge at a rate of about 1 a day. With the 16’s I get about a day and a half. I can find no fault with this company at all. They are the most affordable, they ship free, guarantee their product and the customer service is outstanding, which is very important to me. But most importantly, I haven’t had a regular cig in 5 months and I don’t miss it. I just wish I had discovered smoketip sooner.
So, after my first e-cig being a fifty-one duo and not knowing any better, after much research and my budget, I just ordered a smoke-tip kit. No more than 5 minutes after placing the order, I received an e-mail that they received my order. Now we’ll find out how long it takes to get here! I’m very excited to try it out – for those who haven’t tried it, or are thinking about that one, I’ll keep you posted as to my experience!! I have a question for Andy – do you know if there products are made in the US? I would prefer if they were, but at this time due to money constraints (I’m in Michigan, things are pretty bad here!) I’ll take what I can get! Thanks again to everyone – you’re reviews have been especially helpful to me!!
Hi Lisa,
SmokeTip makes their products in China, along with 99% of all other brands.
Thanks for your kind words, do come back and let us know about your experience with Smoke Tip.
AG
I started with Smoke Tip 1/28/11. I have not had a real cigarette since. I have smoked for 36 years and have made several attempts to stop and failed each time. I always thought my cigarettes relieved my stress but apparently I was very wrong. I have been on anxiety medications for several years but when I started with Smoke Tip, I no longer need them. I am jobless right now and you would think (with my history) I would be one big ball of stress and I am as calm as can be. I researched the e-cigs before actually ordering and this one just stood out as being affordable, they back their product up, they do not offer a lot of bells and whistles but who needs that? We are all aiming for the same thing here. I had a pack of real cigarettes that sat in the garage (where I used to smoke) for almost 2 weeks and I finally went and threw them away. Since I started this I have not thought about or wanted a real cigarette. I feel better about myself (not stinking of smoke) and my health. This has to be better for you. I am so thankful for this company. I have ordered several extra batteries as I am trying now to get my husband off his “chew”. He stopped smoking years ago but we are working on the other now. My suggestion to anyone that is going to do this is start out with the e-cig only. Don’t do both or you may never reach your goal. These are so much like the real thing that it can be done. For me it had to be all or nothing and I am so glad I did it..Thank you Smoke Tip for basically saving my life somewhere down the line. I will be a devoted customer from this day forward. The products come very quickly once ordered. And they are right there to help you with any questions or problems you may have. I can’t say good enough things about them. Thanks guys and good luck to everyone out there trying to kick the habit…WE CAN DO IT!
Hi everyone! Well, I ordered my Smoke Tip on Friday, I received it yesterday (Tuesday) and there was no mail delivery on Monday, so for that I give the company a huge thumbs up! However, I followed the instructions to the “T” and YUK!! I ordered the 16mg cartridges…the vapor and smoke were very weak and it tasted like I was smoking plastic!! So, off it went back to Smoke Tip and the quest continues! I am very shocked, but my Fifty One duo pardon the term, blew away Smoke Tip! (Taste, vapor, etc. – the only thing I’m not happy about with the 51 is that EVERY time I buy a box of cartridges, at least 1 of the cartridges don’t work – the last box I had 3 didn’t work – I get them at a local tobacco store, maybe I should order on-line?) I’m going to wait and make sure my credit card is credited and everything is ok before ordering another brand.
SmokeTip, it is a great product! I did try the #1 and #2 best, according to several web sites, they are good, but I had problems with shipping with #2, and did not understand why #1 was more than double of price, for the same good quality product of SmokeTip. I understand that most of the sites are just paid ads for a expecific brand. But the true is, the fast shipping, Price, Costumer service, battery, and cartridges quality, SmokeTip is by far the Best Option.
I love my smoketip. I have not had a analog cigarette in six day’s which is very outstanding for me. easy drag, good throat hit, good vapor, lifetime battery guarantee with no hassle, no questions. battery life could use a little work…just be sure to order you a extra one or the bigger one. very reasonably priced for the starter kit. good flavors, i like them all except coffee and chocolate (they taste bitter) my favorite is the tobacco, peach, strawberry. I have NO WILL POWER AT ALL…so if it works for me, it will work for anybody. i smoked a pack and a half a day. I would definately recommend this product! I dont smell like smoke, i feel better, i dont cough as bad. I am so glad i tried it. very satisfied.
I have not had a real cigarette in 15 day! I love the smoketip! wonderful product! I would recommend to anyone that smokes. I am very pleased.
Just got my smoketip starter kit in the mail. First brand I’ve tried. So pleased I am already getting way ahead of myself thinking about what accesories I need to order and so on. Great flavor, great vapor volume and throat hit, and the price can’t be beat. I love this so much I never see myself needing to go back to my regular 15 cig a day habbit I’ve had for the past 7 years. I can’t say much that hasn’t already been said but all around great product. No idea why anyone would pay more when the Smoketip is out there.
Question for Andy or anyone else who knows – can I get other brand’s cartomizers such as GreenSmoke or V2 and screw them onto the Smoketip battery? I don’t want to order these and have them not fit, but I’d really like to try some other brands too as well if at all possible.
Hi Chrispy,
SmokeTip products don’t mesh with other brands. They may screw in properly but rarely will you get the same draw or throat hit. It usually breaks the warranty as well, not that the brand would know, but it’s sort of an honor code thing. For best results stick with SmokeTip cartomizers.
I have been using the Smoke Tip for 5 days now and the batteries have to be charged constantly but the reason I’m writing is that my tongue is getting sore. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
Can SmokeTip carts be re-filled with e-liquid?
If you somehow could empty them, yes. But as far as I know you can not. Only V2 Cigs sells the empty cartridges.
yes, they can be refilled. when you start getting that burnt aweful taste it is empty. get a syringe and e-juice and squirt the e-juice down in the hole. shake real good and smoke…yes my tongue did get sore and my throat felt like a burning sensation. it will go away. i love my smoketip!!! i have not smoked a real cig in 35 days…it works for me!!! if i can do it..,anybody can. i thought i would die with a cigarette in my hand. i feel sooooo much better. i do suggest if you are a heavy smoker and just starting out to get e-juice in 24mg. the 16mg was not strong enough for me.
A few quick answers:
Most all cartomizers can be refilled by removing the end cap.
Some atomizers / cartomizers have a break-in period, it doesn’t take long though.
The burning tongue feeling often goes away once a cartomizer has been opened and allowed to “air out” for a day. It is called “steeping”.
I bought the starter kit from Smoke Tip and also bought the clove flavored refill cartridges. I had it 2 days and battery #1 went bad. I called them and they sent a replacement. Before the replacement arrived, battery #2 went bad. When I got the replacement, I had it for 2 days and it’s bad now also. The tip starts flashing telling me it needs charging but it does not charge! I have asked for a full refund which they say they will give me. I do not recommend this product and one of the main reasons I picked it over other brands was the fact that it is BBB accredited. Not a good choice. Can someone tell me a good one that is similar to this type that actually lasts longer than 2 days?
I am new to this havent bought an e-cig yet but I smoke Newport menthol full flavor what is the best brand for menthol to buy in the e cig and price wise which is best way to go how long does the starter kit last?
Customer service is horrible. They were great in the beginning. Now, they are VERY VERY rude. Their filters leak and the batteries last about 3 months. The batteries also clog after the 1st month of use and require cleaning which fails to help over time.
Their ONLY employee, Kristi, who used to be a doll is so nasty now. What the heck happened? They get angry at you when you need to RMA the batteries. Such a shame, they went WAY DOWN HILL!!!
Sorry to hear that, E Cig Lover. Thanks for posting.
I purchased a kit and loved it so much, I ordered a second one. The second kit came with two batteries that wouldn’t hold a charge and would barely produce any vapor – these were defective out of the box. Their response to a customer service inquiry came with no apology, just a condescending note about keeping the units clean (I was never even able to use them), and instructions to return them at my expense for working replacements.
Half of my purchase never worked and they wanted me to pay more. Fat chance – returning for a full refund and finding another product. No quality control, and terrible customer service. Not recommended.
Hey Jared,
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your experience. We keep all comments, good and bad – so thanks. And better luck next time.
I ordered the smoke tip menthol kit shipping was the only good thing I have to say about this company customer service is poor, product is poor had to draw hard just to get anything and that was a mouthful of menthol, return policy is poor had to return a defective battery which they did not replace unless I ordered more cartridges from them, when I did send the battery back as instructed and decided to get a refund they took off for the battery being missing which was because it was defective and sent back very unsatisfied so much so I turned them into the better business bureau as customer service wanted to argue instead of listen to what I had to say
Wow, sorry to hear about your experience, Donna. Are you giving up on e-cigarettes? I hope not. You should try one of the top rated brands like Bull Smoke or V2 Cigs. Very reputable and they get rave reviews….not by just me, either.
