Premium Vapes is one of the more prominent e-cigarette brands that currently occupy the marketplace. Although clearly marketed towards a younger crowd, the combination of quality, variety and affordability has lifted this e-cig company above most of the competition. One of the most noticeable aspects is the color combinations that can be ordered, making vaping with a Premium Vapes product easy to spot. Although some may prefer to have their e-cigs mimic that of traditional cigarettes, the Premium Vapes approach is actually more socially engaging and provides an additional marketing aspect that has helped propel this company towards the top sellers in the field.

Premium Vapes was a splendid discovery as far as flavors go. They really have a unique selection of yummy fruits and special eHookah inspired flavors that are to die for. Although the hardware is not the best there is, the tasting experience is worth indulging in.Premium Vapes Review

Design
The Premium Vapes design is rather simple and straight forward using the traditional two-piece flavor cartridge and atomizer, making it easy to put together and re-use time after time. Although the general appearance is one mimicking the traditional tobacco cigarette in terms of size and shape, Premium Vapes come in many different colors, making them quite noticeable. In fact, the variety of color choices is one aspect which helps set this brand apart from most of the competition. Premium Vapes also adds value by offering E-Go batteries that use the same cartridges, adding an additional level of performance and customization.
Vapor Quality/Volume
The vapor quality of the Premium Vapes is comparable to that of a traditional tobacco cigarette. You get the taste and sensation and feel of the vapors hitting the back of your throat just like you would with tobacco, although the atomizer will need to be primed a little before you get the full sensation. However, the overall quality and taste was certainly impressive, especially considering the 25 different flavors that are available. The traditional tobacco flavor is rather strong, but many of the other flavors really hit their mark in terms of the overall volume that is being pulled in with each puff. All things considered, this is a fairly impressive product when it comes to the performance of the cartridges themselves.
Battery Life
All of the starter kits come with two rechargeable batteries, which is a nice touch that allows you to having one recharging while using the other so that you’ll never be out of power. The typical charge of a Premium Vapes e-cig is roughly six hours give or take an hour depending on its use. For heavy users, expect about five continuous hours of vaping before the battery needs recharging. The longevity of the battery and the relatively quick recharging time makes the Premium Vapes equal or superior to most other e-cig brands on the market today. For those who enjoy vaping for longer periods of time, this should be one of the considerations when choosing this brand. The batteries come in a large amount of colors and styles and offer either an ash or crystal tip. As mentioned, they also offer larger EGO batteries in 7 different colors for those who want a full day’s worth of vaping power.
Flavors
Premium Vapes currently offers 25 different flavors, one of the more extensive varieties of all e-cig companies. The flavors themselves vary considerably, offering the customer a wide choice in terms of what they want to enjoy. All in all, the flavors are different and have been judged by our testing staff as good to very good in terms of quality, taste and overall sensation. We love the hookah inspired flavor line and we had a ton of fun trying a different flavor each time we picked it up for testing. While each customer may have his or her own taste in what flavor they enjoy, with Premium Vapes they certainly get plenty to choose from;
Price & Warranty
The prices that are listed come from the manufacturer when ordering either over the phone or online.

If for whatever reason you do not like Premium Vapes, you can return it within that time
period to get your money back. In addition, there is a one year warranty on all starter kits as well.

One year warranties are typical of most e-cig manufacturers.

Conclusion
There is little doubt that the Premium Vapes have made a powerful impact on the e-cig market. Their combination of taste, battery life and overall successful cartridge design certainly merits their place in terms of quality. However, one nagging issue is the price structure which leans more towards the higher end of e-cig starter kits. While the Mini-Kit is relatively cheap, it is also relatively spare in terms of what it provides, making only for a good introductory item when it comes to trying out the product itself.
The Get Started kit is much better and probably will be the choice for most customers as the Get Social and Get Together kits are more expensive and perhaps only worth it for families or groups that want to chip in on a single product. Overall, the price structure is rather annoying, but not fully out of range compared to other premium e-cig companies. While not the best on the market, Premium Vapes do offer quite a bit in terms of flavors and overall quality design to make it one of the better e-cig companies on the marketplace today.
