INSTEAD Electronic Cigarettes are quite different from the electronic cigarettes I have tried in the past. I’ve heard good things about this brand though, so I decided to purchase their E-Cigarette Kit with E-Liquid Smoke Juice to try them for myself. The biggest difference that I noticed right away when ordering from INSTEAD was that their cartridges don’t come pre-filled.
That is, they sell a bottle of E-Liquid Smoke Juice that you use to fill your cartridges. I thought that this could be messy, but it really isn’t. When I got the kit, I filled up the five empty cartridges right away. I was quite pleased with the flavor and amount of nicotine that I got with each puff. I was also pleased with everything that comes with the INSTEAD E-Cigarette Kit.
I like the water resistant stash tin that comes with the kit. I like the design on it and it isn’t too big or bulky so it’s easy to carry around. It also comes with a velvet stash pouch, which I’ve used a few times when I don’t want to carry my e-cigs in my pockets. The kit also includes a USB charger and a USB to AC adapter so I can charge my batteries, which have Blue LED indicator lights to let me know when my battery is getting low. The kit also contains 2 atomizers, 5 empty cartridges and a 15ml bottle of E-Liquid Smoke Juice, which is equivalent to 300 tobacco cigarettes. The E-Liquid Smoke Juice comes in two varieties, one which is American made and one that is imported.
I opted to buy the E-Liquid Smoke Juice made on American soil. INSTEAD offers both regular tobacco flavor and menthol E-Liquid Smoke Juice and they are available in a variety of nicotine levels. I opted for the Medium Tobacco (18mg) and was quite please with the flavor and nicotine that I got with the first few puffs. I also like that the INSTEAD Electronic Cigarettes come in the Super Cigarette size. It is slightly larger than a regular cigarette, but it still looks like a tobacco cigarette. I’ve tried a variety of sizes of e-cigs and have found the Super Cigarette size to be the most user-friendly. I will admit that over time, I became tired of having to refill my cartridges. I don’t always remember to refill them so sometimes I have to do that when I am out and about. Other than that, INSTEAD offers a great brand of e-cigarette that I plan to keep in my e-cigarette arsenal.

I love the idea of e-cigs. I have had no problem refilling the cartridges, and even if you do put a little too much in, it’s easy to suck it out with the dropper so no biggy. It is also easy to fill and take extra cartridges with you. However, the atomizers really need help. We have two that quit working just this morning so between the two of us, we have one atomizer. Since we already have so much invested in the batteries (we have 5) and the rest of the stuff, we’ll buy a couple more atomizers and then we’re switching to another brand that has that part figured out better. When all parts are working, it’s great but I wouldn’t trust the atomizer to work and certainly would never be caught with only the one on the cig.
Really wasn’t too impressed with the starter kit. I shoulda read the fine print I guess cuz when I got my kit I found out I also needed the e-liquid. Not sure why they would sell something as a starter kit when it really doesn’t have everything you need to start using the Bloog e-cig.
Are you serious? Who has time to fill up an e-cig cartridge? I just want something I can grab and go.
This seems like a bad idea having to fill your cartridge all the time. maybe you can save some money this way but it sounds like a joke to me

I’m a college student and quite a few of my friends smoke e-cigs. I have tried a few different brands and have liked most, but this was definitely not one of the best ones I’ve had. The taste is pretty good but I really don’t like to have to fill up the cartridge.
This is the biggest mess I’ve encountered with e-cigs. Not sure why someone would prefer filling their own cartridge with e-liquid instead of just getting new cartridges. I spent more time cleaning this e-cig and filling up cartridges than I care to.
I’m going to stick to Blu e-cigs. I decided to give these a try when I saw an online promo for them but I really don’t like the e-liquid and havin to refill my cartridges. Not a big fan!
I don’t like having to fill up my cartridges………..messy and time consuming.

I thought that these were a little messy to fill the cartridge. Like the taste buy can be kind of hassle when out of filled cartridges.
