South Beach Smoke has been around for a while, but it is still standing strong compared to the many new e-cig companies that are popping up. The South Beach Smoke e-cigs really speak for themselves, but the company is still constantly coming up with new rebates, coupons, and promotions to offer their customers. If you are looking for a good deal, you’re going to like South Beach Smoke.
There are three different starter kit options, but I opted to try the deluxe kit. The kit included a standard SuperMax battery, an extra-capacity SuperMax battery, a wall charger, 5 large cartridges/atomizers, an owner’s manual, and a membership card. The deluxe kit comes with a two-piece e-cig design, but they also offer the older three-piece design in the premium kit if that is your preference.
I thought the South Beach Smoke membership card was a neat little touch. It’s pretty handy to keep in my wallet in case anyone gives me hassle about vaping in public. As with any other electronic cigarette, you can use South Beach Smoke pretty much anywhere and it’s legal.
South Beach Smoke had a lot of good flavors. I really liked the Peppermint Flavor. It had a sweet aftertaste that was awesome. Cartridge flavors are available in Tobacco Classic, Tobacco Blue, Tobacco Gold, Menthol, Chocolate, Vanilla, Cherry, Peppermint, Pina Colada, and Peach. You can get a variety pack if you want to try a few flavors.
The South Beach Smoke e-cig gave me pretty decent vapor, but it seemed like I had to take a harder drag to get as much as I wanted. Once I got used to it, I really liked the throat hit. I also noticed that the tobacco flavors seem to have a better vapor volume than the others.
In early 2013, South Beach Smoke updated their operations and now supply 100% American-made e-liquid in their cartridges. Juice made in the US is known to have better ingredients and quality control standards. They also taste much better than e-liquids made in other countries in most cases. We haven’t had a chance to try out the new cartridges yet but we hope to soon and will provide our thoughts. Additionally, South Beach now offers their cartridges in 24mg nicotine strength.
South Beach Smoke has three different deluxe starter kits to choose from. There are also a few Premium kits if you are looking for the three-piece designs. Here are the options if you want the deluxe kit (which I recommend!).

The flavor was great! The shipping took a long time and I thought it was over priced. I didnt have a great expereince. I was over charged three times and two times I didnt even get the product. (not great when you just quit real cigs and you are waiting for a shippment.
I would let you know how I got on with SB but USPS lost my package! Unacceptable. Sb offered to send another out but I don’t trust USPS. They refunded my money straight away, but it took over a week to appear back on my card before I could buy elsewhere. SO FRUSTRATING I COULD CRY !!!!!
From the moment I tried these guys they just didn’t seem right for me. I didn’t like the taste of any of the cartridges and they just didn’t feel the same as my old cig. I was impressed with the battery and the battery pack, which seemed to be of a good quality. I used my right to my money back in the first 30 days, however they refused to refund my now open cartridges packs. This made my wife very upset as we had bought a 30 pack with our kit and I was disappointed this wasn’t made CLEARER. I’d say stay away from large cart purchases if you’re buying a new brand. All in all south beach didn’t live up to my expectations.
Both of my SBS batteries from my starter kit died within a month but were replaced for free. Still, they both died around the same time and it was very inconvenient, and the shipping did take 4 days to NY. I have also had one or two bad cartomizers. I then bought a Green Smoke starter pack and compared the two. Green Smoke is definitely in a higher class, but does cost more to start. I don’t like having to prime the battery with the SBS, but the GS works on the initial pull, and produces loads of vapor. I am definitely going to stick with GS from now on.
