Pure Cigs vs. Blu and Volcano

In the USA, the two most known companies selling “micro” e-cigarettes are Blu Cigs and Volcano. If you’re looking for an e-cigarette in this size, you most probably have heard of at least one of these companies and are curious how they compare.

Pure Cigs doesn’t indicate the origin of its flavored nicotine liquids, so it’s obviously that they’re produced in China. That isn’t necessarily of bad quality, but it’s important to note the distinction very clearly because both Volcano and Blu use USA-made e-liquids.

Another aspect in which Pure Cigs differs from Volcano and Blu is in its warranty. While Pure Cigs offers a lifetime warranty, Volcano and Blu both offer only one year warranties. Nevertheless, since the Pure Cigs warranty doesn’t cover items that last through their expected lifespan, it would seem that the three companies are about equal in this sphere.

The last thing worth mentioning is the social charging pack, which only Blu offers. The charging pack is active when another Blu smoker is nearby. Since Blu is one of America’s best e-cigarette brands — the other being V2  — that might happen more frequently than you’d think. It’s a bit a way of promotion, but it could also be a special way to face someone who shares something in common with you. The disadvantage is that Blu charges more than Pure Cigs or Volcano for its starter kits.
