Create-a-Cig could become the 7-11 of vaping outlets. Already there are many stores operating within the United States with an invitation at the bottom of their website to become a vendor.

If you take up this offer, your job will be to help vapers create their own e-cig kits while carrying spare parts and e-liquid. If you don’t already feel like you know the topic very well, get up to speed and start a business that has the potential to grow exponentially in the next few years.

The Emphasis at Create-a-Cig

In this Create-a-Cig review, there is no emphasis on user-created products because we are taking a close look at their online store.

Visitors to their physical outlets, however, including their Austin Texas home base, will notice a different atmosphere; one where every customer receives individual treatment and the chance to build a kit for his or her level of vaping experience and desire.

Create-a-Cig opened its first shop in 2012, selling brands you know and love like JoyeTech, Kanger, and SmokTech, and Innokin.

When you enter the shop, a clerk will be assigned to meet your needs. While you wait to be served, browse their brightly-lit showcase of products, including example kits, but use them as inspiration only.

It is completely expected that a customer will choose a mix of pieces and not be limited to set formulae. He is also invited to test his new starter kit before walking out the door.

Starter Kits at Create-a-Cig

Starter Kits are built with one battery, two batteries, and 650 or 900mAh batteries. In other words, your visit will not provide you with a beginner e-cig but an eGo or better. There are kits in cases and one in a blister pack.

You can choose an electronic Pipe kit or a Bagua Kit and single coil Stardust tanks of various colors. All eGo batteries come from ZVapor, Create-a-Cig’s home brand. A kit will also contain 10mls of e-liquid in your choice of nicotine power and flavor plus requisite chargers. Prices range from $40 (for the blister pack) to $110, with the priciest kit being an e-Pipe package.

Mods and Batteries

Buy a Smoktech pipe for $45; a Maraxus for $60; or a K100 $80. Try the Sigelei Dragon, costing $70. Pay batteries with 340mAh, 900mAh, or 1100mAh (this is a Z-Twist).

If you like the Sigelei Dragon, be sure to remember where you saw it as not many online vendors carry it. Comparing the other prices is much easier, but they’re fair at Create-a-Cig.

Tanks

Have you ever heard of a G50 Diamond Tank? Neither had I, but Create-a-Cig has it. The novelty is its diamond-cut exterior colored bronze or gold.

Other tanks are the Stardust, Vivi Nova, Kanger Protank, and U-DCT. Expect reasonable prices like $13 for the DC Stardust. So far, so good; Create-a-Cig offers decent products and prices, though their home-brand batteries are un-tested generally. They could be generic batteries.

Liquid from Create-a-Cig

Juices can be used in standard cartomizers unless they are marked with an asterisk. This notation would indicate that a juice flavor was too strong for plastic and should be dripped into a Pyrex or glass tank.

Juices cost $6.49 for 10mls: nothing extravagant. 30ml and 100ml bottles are also sold in nicotine values up to an ultra-high 36mg. Blends could be 0/100 in favor of propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin with a couple of choices between.

Choosing your Flavors

There is a standard way to divide e-liquid flavors when a company makes enough of them to separate. Create-a-Cig offers drinks, sweets, fruits, and tobaccos.

Absinthe, Brandy, and Ecto Cooler are three choices labeled as “drinks.” Jamaican Rum and Pink Champagne are two more.

Pick up Apple Double, Black Currant, Boysenberry, Fig, or Goji Berry. Some are the usual style, a few are less common. I’m not sure if you get the benefits of a Goji Berry when you vape it. Desserts/Foods like Bacon, Butter Rum, and Dutch Apple Pie could tempt you to switch from the typical tobacco your taste buds became used to when you smoked cigarettes.

Tobaccos include Black Honey, Ankara, and Latika. Did anyone in your life ever smoke an English pipe? That’s a Latika, smoky and heavy. Ankara is Turkish tobacco tinted with roses.

Banana Pudding is a House Blend, as is American Native. This tobacco style is smooth and light. Bayou Blast reminds its makers of Mardi Gras. Your tongue will be enlivened by the flavor of California fruits when you vape Califruit. For creamy tobacco, try Gandalf the Grey.

Brown Sugar qualifies as a spice or a nut alongside toasted almond, Koolada (menthol minus the mint), Pumpkin Spice, and Macadamia Nut.

Drip Tips

Don’t forget the drip tips when you buy your electronic cigarettes and kits. Most tank and eGo kits supply you with a mouthpiece, but the one supplied doesn’t necessarily meet your needs. The texture or color is not what you hoped for, but that’s easy to fix. Drip tips are made in numerous styles and colors from multiple materials.

Create-a-Cig does not sell individual DTs but instead offers groups of 5 for $15.99 (that’s just over $3 each). Use them with almost all 510 tanks, especially Stardust models. Selections are divided by color with each group containing randomly chosen shapes.

Accessories

Create-a-Cig also carries accessories for your electronic cigarettes. You might want to add a Vape Safe fuse disc to your mechanical mod since there is no battery protection built in. That’s why they call it “mechanical.” Coil for Kanger Protanks and G50 atomizers, and for the Stardust and Pyrex Nova, is available for between $2.50 and $3.00.

A VTR mod will not fit into a conventional vape case owing to its unusual shape; therefore, special cases have been manufactured. Buy a leather one here for $24.99.
