Its not often that i will jump at the chance to try a cheap e cigarette.........Ok who am i kidding i am exactly the kind of guy who will buy any old crap as long as it has a cheap price tag. Unsupprisingly while looking around my local 99p shop i came across a disposable e cigarette of the unknown brand name sky lites. Now i know theres a cigalike called E-lites and im pretty sure theres also a cigalike company called Sky Cigs. So were already expecting some degree of high quality product if its brand name is an obvious fusing of two already known and (chortle) respected highstreet brands.

 

First impression. Well its a nice looking professional package thats for sure and with a name like smooth satin if there wasnt a picture of an e cig on the package  would swear blind i had just picked up a packet of pound shop condoms. The e cig itself a disposable reputes to have a tobacco flavour and is 12mg in strength. It also claims to have an equivelent of 20 cigarettes worth (so we'll assume half that considering the claims of most cigalikes to be a bit on the optimistic side)

 

So far i havent told you anything you couldnt work out from the image itself mf' flavour, cigarette equivelent and condom packet all well and present. Upon opening i was greeted with a slightly smaller than is usual for a cigalike ......errrm well cigalike i suppose sporting the web address of the company that shoves them out. The blurb on the back of the pack makes clear these were manufactured in Chine to the highest quality standards and who was i to argue. I mean for a chinese factory to be in buisness as well as a UK distributor to take their cut before the 99p store even begins to take a profit im sure the components are of pro vari standards.

 

So how the fuck does it vape i hear you begging me to know. ...........................

 

On the side of the pack there are instructions to remove the rubber end cap with strict instructions to not replace. I would assume you would vape Sky Lites smooth satin (ribbed for her pleasure) the same way as you would any other cigalike as the next line simply instructs you to enjoy with directions that when no more vapour is produced the filter is empty and to dispose of in a safe manner (which is nice)

 

So how does it vape for fuck sake..........................

 

Meanwhile on the reverse of the packaging there is some blurb abou.................

 

Ok it dont ....happy? From the first drag. No light, no vapour, no throat hit.....Also no 99p in my pocket and no bloody point in reccomending these worthless pieces of shit to anyone other than for novelty value.

 

I can certainly understand they might have a use back in the 80s when political correctness allowed for kids to have toy cigarettes to pretend to be adults. In this day and age however these condom packaged sticks of pointlessness do little more than take away a potential 4 pack of energy drinks you could have bought instead.

 

I never expected much when i decided to purchase a 99p e cig. i did however expect vapour and a light even if for only 2 cigarette equivelents.

 

In conclusion i could have shortened this review to one word (shit) but then you already knew that as well as i did when i decided to throw 99p at a product we both knew was going to dissapoint. As far as pound shop e cigarette products go its best to draw that line there and never cross it. Unless of course you want to purchase a cheap product for the singular purpouse of doing a review :)
