Smokeless Image Volt Review
This is the Smokeless Image Volt Review. How does it stack up against the competition? First choose which starter kit will work best for you. The 2 popular choices are the Volt Standard or Volt Pro Kit. The biggest difference between the two kits is the Volt Pro Kit comes with a portable charging case (PCC.) What does this mean to you? You charge up the PCC and it can hold 1 battery with cartomizer, and also charge another battery at the same time. This little device is about the same size as an iPhone 4 and can charge a battery up to 4 times before having to recharge the PCC. This is great for those who smoke often and don’t want be left with a dead battery. If you are a casual smoker and don’t smoke too much, then the Volt Standard Kit should be fine. But for an extra $20, the PCC is a great deal, they usually sell for $29.99 by itself.
I decided to go with the Volt Pro Starter Kit.
The Volt Pro Starter Kit comes with everything you would need to charge your batteries on the go:
TWO rechargeable lithium ion batteries
FIVE Filter Tips in selected Flavor and Strength.
ONE Volt Charging Case or Mega Charging Case
THREE Month Warranty!
The starter kits are very customize-able, choose between different colored batteries and choose the color of your LED light!
You also have a choice of battery type: Automatic or manual. The automatic you just smoke like a regular cigarette and is activated when you inhale. The manual has a small button on the battery which you press every time you inhale. It’s really a choice of preference, one is not necessarily better then the other. I decided to get 1 of each so I could decide for myself.
You get to choose the battery size: Mini 65mm (220mAh) or Standard 78mm (320mAh). I chose to go with the standard 78mm. Of course the standard battery will last a longer then the mini and is longer in size also. This again is preference, but if you want to make sure your battery doesn’t die out on you, get the standard. For those of you who like to keep a cigarette in your mouth and keep it hands free, the mini 65mm is the way to go.
After choosing your color, the battery type and battery size, you then choose your flavor. The starter kit comes with a 5 pack of cartomizers in your choice of flavor: Watermelon, Vanilla, Smooth Sampler, Sweet Sampler, RY4, Ice Menthol, Grape, Dessert Joe, Cowboy, Chocolate, Cherry, Cappuccino, 555, Menthol Burst, Classic Grape or 5 blank empty cartridges. I decided to try the classic grape flavor because I like almost everything that comes in grape flavor. As you can see, there are a ton of choices so just choose what sounds best to you.
After choosing your e-liquid flavor, you then decide on the Nicotine level: It ranges from 0% (none) to 2.4%(XHigh.) The nicotine level is dependent on what kind of a smoker you are. It is recommended to go with a larger dose and steadily decrease the nicotine level until you find the right one for you. I am not big on nicotine so I went with the 0mg.
Your last choice will be if you want the portable charging case or the mega charging case which comes in 4 colors (blue, orange, purple or gray.) The big difference between the two charging cases is the mega is a lot larger because it can charge both batteries at once, plus hold up to 6 cartomizers. There’s no difference in price so it’s a matter of preference if you want something portable that can fit in your pocket or purse or if you want an all in one charging station that can hold different flavors. I went with the regular portable charging case as it’ll do the job for me plus fit in my pocket.
Quality and design: 10/10
The Smokeless Image Volt is a high quality product with a nice finish to it. It is not cheap in design or quality in anyway. The standard battery is just the right size. The texture of the Volt is feels great in your hands.
Throat hit: 7/10 (0mg Classic Grape, varies and is a personal choice)
I tried the 0mg of nicotine and it has a very small throat hit.
Good for those who don’t want a big throat hit, not too harsh on the throat, just right. If you’re looking for a good throat, I’d suggest getting a stronger mg of nicotine and it should satisfy you. There is a lot of vapor that comes with each hit, but remember, everybody has their own style of puffing. Some people care about the amount of vapor while others care more about the throat hit. I’m sure with the higher dosage of nicotine, the throat hit will be fine.
Battery life: 10/10
The standard 78mm battery gave about 3 hours of battery life. Since I am a casual e-smoker, having 2 batteries will last me through the entire day without worrying. You will be happy with the battery life of the Volt as it’s the largest battery I’ve seen in this type of electronic cigarette. The 78mm is a 320mAh battery. The Halo G6 is also 78mm however only rates at 280mAh so it last a little longer. Most standard electronic cigarette batteries are 150mAh! Enjoy longer battery life!
Flavors: 10/10
The name speaks for itself, classic grape. Now they did come out with a new grape flavor which has a hint of tobacco in it. Since I’m all about the flavor, I chose to go with classic because I’m not really found of the tobacco taste. Try the new grape flavor if you want the best of both worlds.
The flavors they carry are Watermelon, Vanilla, Smooth Sampler, Sweet Sampler, RY4, Ice Menthol, Grape, Dessert Joe, Cowboy, Chocolate, Cherry, Cappuccino, 555, Menthol Burst, and Classic Grape. If you don’t mind refilling the cartomizers yourself, they do carry e-liquid also. 10ml and 30ml available. There’s something for everyone. If you do not like any of their flavors then you are more than welcome to buy your e-liquids elsewhere and just get the blank empty cartridges. This is a great option for those who are picky or have already found their favorite flavor. Not all electronic cigarettes give you the option of getting a blank cartridge to use your own e-liquid.
Try new flavors or cartomizers by checking the e cig compatibility chart.
Price: 10/10
For the high quality product, great battery life and awesome flavors, the price is just right. The basic starter kit is only $29.95. It includes 1 battery, a usb charger and 5 cartridges. Enough to get you started for those new to electronic cigarettes or for those who just want to try it out. The next step up is the Standard Kit which is $44.95, which includes the extra battery and wall charger. For those who smoke a little more, this is the best option for you. For $64.95, you can buy the Volt Pro starter kit which includes everything listed above PLUS the portable charging case which is a nifty device. Once you use it, you’ll never know how you lived without it. All the starter kits are great prices compared to other electronic cigarettes and for the quality you’re getting. Visit your local mall and you’ll see kits going for as high as $99 and you don’t nearly as much as you do with these kits.
