Smoke 51 Electronic Cigarette Review-Krave Disposable

While Smoke 51 isn’t nearly as popular as Blu Electronic Cigarettes they have managed to carve out a niche for themselves in the electronic cigarette market. The cigarette I reviewed today is a Krave disposable electronic cigarette. I found this concept to be a great idea for the beginner that isn’t used to smoking electronic cigarettes yet and just wants to try it. However, I did have a some problems with my model which I hope isn’t something that all the people who try this cigarette experience(however it does have an easy fix).

Smoke 51 Krave Disposables  Features

The main feature of these is that they are disposable and don’t give you the option to either buy more cartridges or refill them. Instead you throw the cigarette away and buy another box. What I think they were aiming for here is that the box would last almost exactly as long as a pack of normal cigarettes.

This cigarette is also what you would consider a mini electronic cigarette because it is not much bigger than a normal cigarette. It comes appart into 3 pieces, an atomizer, cartridge, and battery. In one box you get 4 cartridges. You can get it in 3 different flavors(at the time of writing this)- regular, cherry, and menthol.

What We Liked About The Smoke 51 Krave Electronic Cigarette

My favorite thing about these is just how much smoke you get when you draw from it. It really gives you that nice feeling in the back of your throat that you don’t normally get from electronic cigarettes(or atleast to the same extent). However, I did have a little bit of trouble getting the atomizer to work correctly. So, I tried a mod I read about in another review. He suggested covering 3 of the 4 holes with scotch tape. It worked like a charm.

The next thing I really liked about the Krave was how everything looked. The cigarette itself is actually pretty standard, but of much nicer quality than many of the disposable models on the market. The packaging just has a great look to it that really reminds me of a regular pack of cigarettes.

The last thing is that there wasn’t a shut off time when taking an inhale like you normally get on other models. This makes it much more like a regular cigarette.

What We Didn’t Like About The Smoke 51 Krave Electronic Cigarette

To be completely honest, I’m not that big a fan of the entire concept of disposable electronic cigarettes. I want to buy a nice unit and have it last a very long time. That said, my biggest problem with the Krave was the price. You can normally get them for around $20-which sounds great at first. Keep in mind, this is only a third of the price of a Blu starter kit and the unit will only last you about as long as 1 pack of regular cigarettes. Even when I smoked more expensive cigarettes like American Spirit(running me something like $8 a pack) it was only a fraction of that price.

I’ve also heard of people having problems with their batteries more than once, but I didn’t experience anything like this. Its hard to say if it is a common problem or not.

However, my only real complaint is about the value of buying a disposable electronic cigarette.

Conclusion

All in all, I would describe this as a very average unit. There is nothing about it that is so bad I wouldn’t suggest you buy it(that is, if you are fine with it being disposable-which many people prefer), and there isn’t anything so great about it that I would suggest you buy it over a Blu start kit.
