I have bought five of the "kits" that is the battery part, and the tip, in a week, and although I fully charge the battery before I use it, I find the battery runs down within an hour or so, and the tip, which is supposed to be the equivalent of 40 cigs, usually lasts about five or six hours. I don't puff that much! Not happy with the recent quality of the product, the battery part used to stay usable for weeks, now it seems I have to replace it twice or thrice every week.

I started using e-lights about three weeks ago and i have to say with my hand on my heart i only wish i had started sooner. i bought a wall plug and three batteries and four packets of menthol e tips . OK the the wall charger and three batteries might of been expensive but at least i have them now. I have to say my flat does not smell of disgusting cigarette smoke anymore and i now have more money in the bank as i was spending £9.00 a day on a packet of cigs. £270.00 a month. - madness. i got an email from e -lights telling me of a special offer they were doing £30% off for the month of February i looked into this and bought 8 boxes containing five tips in each box total 40 tips at the price £91.49 which is a bargain . By using e- lights i will be saving £178.51 this month and also sleeping a lot better and feeling more healthy. Keep up the good work e - lights and forgot to mention great customer service if you ever call them as i have a few times.

I have used these for some time now and it is time to try something else. The pack says 40 cigarette's. I smoked 10/15 a day and there is no way I can get 2 days from them. The batteries are always going quickly and the are soon finished with very quickly. Far too expensive too.

I'd recently tried nicolites which were very good in comparison to these; you could get a decent enough "drag", when the charger ran flat it could be powered up to max again in about two hours tops, but you could still use it on less than a full charge. But the E-lites? Put it this way - buy yourself a truss because even after a three hour charge it'll tear your balls off trying to get anything out of it. I don't know how long the average smoker waits for each cigarette, but a three hour charge only to get a similar effect to sucking on a biro is not my idea of money well spent, and these ain't cheap. Try another brand is my advice.

e cigarette burnt wall when it shoot capsule out of front. it left 4 foot burn mark on my wall and burnt tv coaxial cable for television. also tip of this capsule that blew out was cherry red it was so hot their was no touching it for a while.

Yes, as a nicotine substitute E-lites are great. However, having been using them for 6months (a fair time to review objectively) I find the batteries do not hold their charge for more than 3 hours or so - ok so long as you have plenty of spares. My main complaint is that the claim that one tip is the equivalent to 40 cigarettes is ludicrous. Some last longer than others, mostly less than 12 hours max. I used to smoke 15 cigarettes a day max.... but am using 1 - 2 tips daily making it very expensive indeed. The only bonus is that I am not inhaling tobacco smoke. I am definitely looking for an alternative as these are turning out to be very overpriced!

I purchased a single E-Lite recently and like many people here, was very disappointed when the cigarette did not last very long. I sent it back to the manufacturers with a polite note asking if perhaps it was faulty. I received a very swift and polite response saying that the E-Lite had been checked and it was simply that the battery needed recharging. I was sent a free charger and another free E-Lite tip so I am extremely pleased and happy with such excellent customer services. Since the `light` E-Lite is exactly like my usual brand of popular cigarette, I shall continue to use the product and recommend it to my friends who are trying to stop smoking.

Very expensive and don't last

I normally vape with a Totally Wicked tornado kit. I ran out of juice and bought an e-lite kit a couple of extra cartridges to keep me going until I re-ordered some of my regular juice. The e-lites work ok for a while but the stated 40 cigs from a cartridge is fraudulent. I only smoked 3 cigs a day, but one cartridge lasted just one day. Something just doesn't add up. £8 / for 2 days was just shocking for me. Totally wicked fluid costs about £3.50 for 10ml and lasts me over a week. Cheaper if you buy bigger bottles in bulk. The taste of e-lites is also very poor compared with Totally Wicked. Totally Wicked also does free delivery and I always get them in 2 working days. Avoid e-lites as just way too expensive.

I have started to purchase these as they are easily available and not bad in flavour. But they are expensive and don't last very long. The cartridges are not consistent in how long they last and I have found many shops, even Sainsbury's have out of date packs that must come from the supplier as Sainsbury sell out often so must rotate stock properly. I am taking my latest pack back and going back to ordering Greensmoke which is a much better smoke and much cheaper if you order lots. How they managed to get into all the shops around me is beyond me as product is rubbish. Oh look made in China, wonder if that affects the quality?

This was the same price as a packet of cigarettes but only lasted half a day. I feel ripped off.

The second pack of Menthol E Lites I have purchased and all the tips have had a nasty solvent smell and come in slightly different colours. Overall lost confidence in the product. it's safety and the manufacturing process.

Initially thought product was ok although battery life quite poor so I bought a second e - cigerette so could always have one on charge. Now had both for 3 weeks and they seem to run out very quickly - 4 houongly dispute the fact that each tip is approx 40 cigerttes as this is simply untrue altho some tips have lasted longer

I"m new to these e-cigs having given up the real thing about 8years ago. Since then I've been on nicotine gum and have not been able to break my nicotine habit. Very disappointed with e-lites the battery does not last long and the filters that are supposed to last for 30/40 cigs simply don't. I won't be buying any more of these, I'm going to try BATS product hoping it might be more reliable. Don't know what E-lites are going to do when these products are regulated and all claims have to verified- rapidly go out of business ?????

Suggest you avoid E-Lites like the plague. The price of the replacement cartridges are ridiculously overpriced and their claim that you can get approximately 80 cigarettes from 2 cartridges is totally absurd. I complained to E-Lites but they were totally uninterested and told me they had a lot of satisfied customers and that they were surprised to get a complaint about their products...Yeh sure! I have now wasted enough money with E-Lites and have today changed to Green Smoke who's E-Cigs so far have performed extremely well. I only wish that I had found this review site and read all the views before I started using E-Lites but we all make mistakes but at least I am not going to waste any more money with E-Lites.

A packet of 2 tips approx 80 cigarettes, really only last approx 40 cigarettes, but still got to be better health wise, even though bit expensive,

Taste and nicotine hit are good. However, i only ever smoked 10 a day and these that are meant to be equivalent to 40 cigarettes . NO CHANCE!!! I spend more on these than on the real things. I have stopped smoking but am not prepared to pay for these anymore. I have also bought some that were no good and did not work at all. I feel a little bit of research is needed as far as the manufacturing is concerned. When the work they are good. Very disappointed and am now on the nicorette inhalater much better ! If they could get the refills right it has the potential to be very good
