Here at First Hand Smoke, your destination for
vaporizer, vape pen and electronic cigarette reviews,
we’re a group of devoted vapers.


We all use vaporizers, eGo/vape pens and e-cigarettes regularly and want to share all we've learned. We do that with a full rundown of facts and information in our “resources” section, the very latest news about devices and vaping in our “news” section, and our opinions on the best vapes and e-cigarettes on the market in our reviews section.


Of course, we're pro-vaping. But our editor-in-chief also is a trained journalist, so we've done the best we can to keep our site as objective as possible. We do our best to make sure our resource articles are balanced and fair; we don't choose just "positive" stories for our news section; and our e-cigarette reviews are completely honest, representing our panel's unbiased opinions on each vape pen, vaporizer or ecig that's included.


On our front page, you'll first see our choices for the top four tank/eGo personal vaporizers, which are more advanced than ecigs but have become the most popular.vaping options. Next, you'll see a similar listing for "traditional" e-cigarettes with replaceable cartridges, the simplest type of rechargeable systems. Links to all of our reviews are below those listings, and our exclusive discount coupon codes are on each review page. Also on the front page you'll see the very latest in unbiased e-cigarette news (as well as our own opinions, clearly marked), plus our comprehensive electronic cigarette resources section.


Please take your time to explore our site, leave your comments, join our mailing list to get the very latest offers and special deals we’re able to secure for our visitors, and let us know what you think!
