White Cloud Electronic Cigarettes is at is again by improving the Cirrus 3 released earlier this year. They now have the White Cloud Cirrus 3x which is the longest lasting Cirrus ever. According to White Cloud Cigarettes, their customers have been asking for an e-cig battery that can last over 600 puffs while not resembling a self defense weapon. Essentially, they want a small battery with a lot of power and White Cloud delivered. The Cirrus 3x is a small battery about the size of a cigarette when assembled to a cartomizer. The new Cirrus 3x also has a new charger to help deliver the power needed, called the USB Charge Bolt. The Charge Bolt not only is a smart charging device, but it will even recondition old Cirrus batteries to get the most life possible from them. While we got a sneak peak at these, they are not officially on sale until the 21st of October, but pre-orders are being taken so if you are looking at getting the Cirrus 3x, get on the short list by pre-ordering today. Below you will find a coupon to save 10% off the Cirrus 3x only but it equates to almost $35 in savings.

White Cloud Electronic Cigarettes recently came out with another updated version of their electronic cigarette, the Cirrus 3, which is 36% lighter, 3/8″ shorter, charges faster, and has quicker vapor draw than their Cirrus II electronic cigarette. The Cirrus, Cirrus II, and Cirrus 3 are two-piece electronic cigarettes which means that users never have to worry about replacing the atomizer because their is a fresh atomizer in each new cartridge. White Cloud has been around for a long time and is the only e-cigarette company that has full-time employees that oversee the manufacturing of their product.



They have had numerous improvements and changes made to their batteries and cartridges since their initial launch, many of which were patented and/or trademarked and are exclusive to their brand. This is one reason they are able to justify charging so much for their product. They use something called “Smooth Draw Technology” when designing their cartridges. It allows a large amount of vapor to pass quickly through a small passage and produces a “white cloud” of smoke that you can really feel and taste like no other. All of their products feature a six month warranty that doesn’t have any strings attached. If it stops working in the first six months, even though we have not heard of any problems with any of their models, it will be covered.

The White Cloud Cirrus 3 is the combination of high quality parts and three years of research by the top engineers in the electronic cigarette industry. There is no doubt that White Cloud produces the best electronic cigarette on the market and also the most expensive. While we understand not everyone can afford such a high priced e-cigarette, those who can should definitely purchase the Cirrus 3. The Cirrus 3 battery is absolutely second to none, it was designed by the same manufacturer who produces Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries for Apple. The benefit of LiPo batteries is a longer lasting battery with higher capacity and less weight than standard nickel-based batteries. Lithium is the lightest metal available and when used in batteries, users do not need to run complete charge cycles to extend the life of their battery. The Cirrus 3 was also designed to withstand several drops a day by utilizing a built in shock absorption system that allows the Cirrus 3 to keep working even after it takes a beating! While the Cirrus 3 is the best e-cig available, a lower cost alternative is the Cirrus II or even the Cirrus which are both higher quality than almost any other e-cig on the market still today.

White Cloud Electronic Cigarettes came out with an updated version of their electronic cigarette, the Cirrus II, which is lighter, shorter, lasts longer and charges faster than their original electronic cigarette, which is called Cirrus. I obviously, was willing to pay the extra money to check them out; I mean, I just had to know what made their e-cigs so special over the other brands!! What I came to conclude is that, while it may not be worth 2 to 5 times the cost of some other 2 piece models; they are definitely on the edge of being in a league of their own…

If what you like is a REALLY strong feeling and “KICK” in your throat to feel like an e-cigarette is good enough to replace the real thing, BUY THESE, these are for you!!

For e-smokers that need that something extra; I would recommend White Cloud as the number 1 or 2 brand for you, The Safe Cig has the second strongest draw I’ve ever tried when using their medium or high strength cartridges and is less than 1/2 the price, but if you can afford it, or really need that extra kick, they are worth the money, believe me.

I was skeptical at first as well, it’s quite an unsettling jump in price. Still though, I’ve used one of their batteries for 4 days straight, going through only 2 cartridges, and I was a pack and 1/4 a day smoker prior to making the switch almost two years ago. There aren’t many brands that can do that, and the best part is the cartridges remain unusually strong until the last puffs…

We also found the White Cloud website rather informative when compared to many other e-cigarette company websites. White Cloud lists all of the ingredients that are in their e-cigs and they help shed some light on why e-cigarette companies can’t refer to their product as a “smoking cessation device” (i.e. a device to help quit smoking).

According to the White Cloud website, the FDA requires extensive testing before a product can be marketed and sold as a smoking cessation device. White Cloud states that the testing and studies required for FDA approval could cost nearly $5 million and would take about 4 years to complete. It’s no wonder that e-cigarette companies don’t take the time and money needed to get FDA approval to sell e-cigarettes as smoking cessation devices, especially when so many consumers are living proof that e-cigs really do help to quit smoking tobacco cigarettes.

The Cirrus starter kit is $189.95 and the Cirrus II starter kit is $239.95, and the newest Cirrus 3 is $289.95. The Cirrus replacement battery alone is $89.95 and the Cirrus II replacement battery is $119.95, however with a 6 month warranty, you shouldn’t need any of these for quite some time, if at all .

Oh, and get this! They also offer an option to buy the “Assured Smoke 2 Year Warranty” for $29.95 and this covers the purchaser for 2 years from the date of the starter kit purchase and also allows a free battery exchange after 12 months. The warranty is a great idea and is fairly priced, plus they’ve definitely got one of the highest quality, strongest and most authentic tasting e-cigs available, however, alone the cost will deter some smokers from ever trying White Cloud e-cigarettes. I suppose that is just the nature of the beast.

If you are an avid e-smoker and are still shopping for the perfect brand, or you are not as concerned about money as most, I highly recommend giving these a shot. If they weren’t so expensive, I would have them ranked at number 2 or 3. Maybe as more of you get a chance to try them, you will come back and share your review with us and they will soon make it higher up the list!

The White Cloud cartridges, which are called “SmoothDraw cartridges”, come in 10 flavors and 5 nicotine levels and each cartridge is equivalent to about 2 packs of tobacco cigarettes.
