VaporNine Nebula Starter Kit Review

This is my review for the VaporNine Nebula starter kit. I have been using the kit for almost two weeks now.

Ordering:

I did have a small snag ordering, I believe the VaporNine website has a small quirk about kicking out tracking numbers and shipping conformations before your item has actually shipped. This led to a little confusion as my kit actually shipped a few days later then thought due to out of stock items. Ben was quick at answering my e-mails and the kit soon arrived.

Packaging:

Mine was actually much different then the package pictured on the VaporNine website, instead of the white boxed kit, the Nebula came in a black and gold box, with faux velvet lining. Each component was individually boxed in a black box with gold print and the two batteries are held in place by small elastic straps. I mention this because it was different and because the box itself looks fantastic if the kit is given as a gift. The kit components come in a matte black finish, which has a sleek look. The cartomizers come with a small white band around the bottom. The batteries are unmarked but the cartomizers have the VaporNine logo.

Batteries:

The batteries in the kit come precharged, which is terrific for those who are new to vaping and can not wait to try the kit out. Initial battery life was terrific, although I did notice a slight decrease after the first few initial charges. When I started with the kit, I only had to swap the batteries once each day, but after about 3 day's I have been swapping out the batteries twice. It's worth to keep in mind that I would consider myself a heavy vaper as I work from home and use it at my desk throughout the day.

Cartomizers:

This is where VaporNine really shines, they have the best cartomizers I have tried. I have already tried those of a few other suppliers and they simply do not stack up to VaporNine's. I believe Ben has made some specific changes with his supplier that has improved the basic design.

First the cartomizers run much cooler then those of other brands. My girlfriend ordered some blank carto's from another supplier, they run so hot after a few puff's that you burn your lips on them. Not so with VaporNine's, I can vape all day long and the carto's rarely rise above a comfortable warm temperature. They also produce a great amount of vapor, and give a terrific throat hit.

Also of note is the fact that VaporNine carto's seem to also burn through e-liquid at a much slower rate while still producing great vapor. I can fill a VaporNine carto and puff away for nearly two hours, yet when I fill a carto from another supplier it drains empty in about 30 minutes.

Charger:

My Nebula kit came with a basic wall charger which has a USB adapter that attaches to it. Your battery then screws into the AC adapter via the USB plug-in. It has a simple LED which switches to red from blue to let you know it's charging, when completed the LED will flash blue for a few seconds and then maintain the BLUE light letting you know charging is complete. For me a drained battery charges from empty to full in roughly three hours.

Included Cartomizers:

The 5 pre-filled cartomizers that came included worked fine, although I found the menthol to be a tad weak and not really to my liking. They produced great vapor but not much of a throat hit for me. I also ordered a box of empty carto's and a bottle of menthol e-liquid, this liquid proved fantastic and become my go to liquid for the first week of use.

Price:

My Nebula kit cost $59.95, I ordered a basic setup without any extra's. I have found since then that this price is a little above what other suppliers are charging for similar kits. But here is the thing, I know Ben stands behind his products and is only an email or forum post away. We recently ordered two kits from another supplier and have had nothing but issues with the kits from ruined batteries to mixed up replacements.

VaporNine's starter kit is what I would call a basic entry level kit. It doesn't come with extra bells and whistles, but to be honest... who needs them anyways? It's a solid kit with good quality components that works first time out of the box. And if you do have an issue, I know Ben will make it right.

Overall:

VaporNine's Nebula Starter kit, is a terrific kit for anyone new to Vaping. You get a product that is ready to use right out of the box that you know the supplier stands behind. In closing, I highly recommend this kit.
