What We Look For in an E-Rig
Unlike other review sites, we dont just test for clouds and flavor. We consider:
- 2-Year Cost: Device price plus ongoing replacement parts
- Repairability: Can you fix it yourself or are you locked into proprietary parts?
- Community Support: Real users helping real users, not just a support email
- American Made: Supporting domestic manufacturing since 2013
The Hidden Cost Problem
Most best e-rig lists dont mention this: that 300 dollar device with 50 dollar replacement atomizers every 2-3 months will cost you 700 dollars over 2 years.
A rebuildable device with 10 dollar ceramic cups? Under 200 dollars total. Read more about e-rig hidden costs.
