Presentation/Packaging 2/5
If there were ever an area in which a company should skimp in order to provide a better product it’s in the packaging, especially when the product doesn’t have to jump off a shelf into your shopping cart. Such is the case with the NJOY N-Pro. A thin sleeve depicting a man and woman experiencing the joy of smoking slides over a box that can only be described as made of the same material as a light bulb carton. Everything is jammed into the small box with no rhyme or reason. This starter kit includes 2 510 style batteries, a wall adapter, USB charger and 2 5 packs of cartomizers that are stored in pill bottles. Not only is this an odd choice of storage, it makes the cartomizers nearly impossible to get out of the bottle. Not very functional at all.
Battery/Responsiveness 4/5
Surprisingly, the NPRO battery is incredibly responsive. No primers needed here, and a lot of vapor is produced every time. A standard 510 battery that looks like a lot of other, being a white battery with rings and the name branded by the cartomizer connection. The responsiveness of the NPRO battery makes the standard 4-6 hour life drag by, and that also makes it one of the best batteries on the list.
Vapor/Flavor(s) 5/5
NJOY only offers 2 flavors, regular and menthol. Nothing to knock here, but as good as they work one would think they would offer more. They have adopted the cartomizer design, which for my money works best anyway. The amount of vapor and the flavor of it are as good as any I’ve tried. The only odd thing is that once you screw the cartomizer onto the battery it just continues to spin, which makes it feel like it’s not totally secure, even though it is.
Overall (Not An Average) 4/5
The best selling point for the NPRO model other than how well it works is its price. Much lower than other brands that work similarly, it’s a great kit for someone starting out. The only drawback is that their refills are a little pricier than other brands, so it depends on how long you plan on using your e-cig and how much you want to save in the long run. 5 packs are about $7 more each than other equally recommended brands. The NJOY NPRO is a classic case of “it’s what’s inside that counts”, so don’t be fooled by the cheap design and packaging. It’s a great kit for the money.
I think the deal with the e-cigarette is not to “smoke” it. I don’t inhale really, but I still get to “smoke” when I would have otherwise grabbed a cigarette.
The atomizer/battery is solid, the taste is “menthol,” and that’s all I’m looking for. And there’s a TON of smoke from a little drag. The little fake ember light is a hoot.
I’m still on the first cartridge, and I’m going into my third week. No problems!
I think anything that can stop me from smoking is an awesome thing. I didn’t have to wait for these to be delivered in the mail or have to wait for the flea market to open on the weekend. I just run up to 7-11 or even Hess carries them now and buy them. I just pray that we don’t hear down the road that they’re worse for you then real cigarettes..

This will be my go to instead of my orignal EGO w/ Monster Atomizer, more conveniant for buying refills and smaller design and look is less gaudy the some other models out there. Give this a try 30 day guarantee and 1 year warranty.
I like that if I crave a drag of a cigarette I can have a drag of this and N joy it! without lighting or smoking a whole cigarette. I’ve wanted to quit for a while and I am hoping that this will get me there.
Thank you
PS I live in NYC where cigarettes are between $12 and $14 a pack, this was $20 so money wise I’m already ahead and hopefully health wise too.
good price, worth the buck and stands up to be a fake cigarette..need more flavors(e-liquid is a investment)..pulls good..overall great product
I have had them 2 days and I can use it when I want and don’t waste ciggarettes, because you can’t smoke inside anywhere and its great when its cold.
I have been saying for a while now that I want to try an E-cig. Did some research online and most of the brands seemed a bit expensive, especially for never trying one to begin with. Went to the gas station & my son says, “They sell E-cigs here mom”. I bought a disposable 1.2% menthol & at first was grossed out by the taste, but got used to it. Made my husband try it too, and he bought the rechargable kit and 1.8% cartridges. I put it to the test this past weekend at a party. I smoke A LOT when I drink, but I never craved a real cig. Works great in the morning when I drink my coffee too. I have only used this product for about 2 weeks and haven’t had any major problems! My son is happy too!
like i said it was an impulse buy. i did no research before hand. but when i saw the $20 price tag i figured id give it a shot. i smoke(d) marb red 100′s so the taste isn’t that unfamiliar. however it is a harder drag, and i would say some ‘priming’ is necessary (but then again also necessary on real cigs around the fire prevention bands). its so far taken the edge off of quitting, at least to a bearable degree. im just looking to get some health back, so im hoping this is a better alternative. so far the only real drawbacks are its weight, i cant hold it like a normal smoke, and it feels like a pen (but considering this is my first e-cig that might be a common factor)
I thought the product was great until I discovered the issue with it ghost smoking. It will be VERY hot and full of wasted vapors. This has killed the battery on several occasions and almost makes it completely worthless. At least a real cigarette is dependable. For me this is a fatal flaw and I came to the site to find an alternative.
I just bought the product 2 days ago. I had been using the disposable Finiti e-cig, and decided to move on to the rechargeable/refillable e-cig. NJoy was at the store that I purchase the Finiti. It was only 20 bucks, so I decided to give it a shot. The bubbing/crackling sound was a bit unnerving, as well as the small amount of liquid coming out of the cartridge when inhaling. After charging it again and taking shorter drags for about an hour, the liquid stopped coming out, the vapor became visible, but the crackling noise continued (to a lesser degree). I prefer the silent Finiti disposable with the white light, more vapor, and better taste. For the price though, I’ll put up with occassional crackling (I just have to be a bit sneakier with it at work) and an ok taste. Perhaps the noise and liquid are normal for the rechargeables, but I’m new to this so I didn’t know. I just hope that I don’t end up seeing a massive recall of this product on the news.
i like that i dont smoke anymore and 6 wks now but after a few very long drags on it , it starts to burn myy throat. and i cough from this dont know if thats good or bad. and it gets really hot. it needs too last longer , and not be so heavy and not burn ppls throats. but i have not smoked a real cig in 6 weeks and i was a very heavy smoker i now have copd from smoking and decided i need to quit. but am concerned on what they will find wrong in the future about this product and has it hurt us in some way.
I bought the N-Joy after I found out that Fire Safe Cigarettes contain carpet glue. The first time I smoked N-Joy I took about 3 hits and felt lightheaded so I went and sat down. About 20 mins later, I felt what I thought was snot dribbling out of my nose. I wiped with my hand, and found there was VERY THIN blood running out of my nostril. I also noticed that I couldn’t inhale as deeply, I was light-headed and couldn’t focus. I did some research on Wikipedia and found out the FDA tested N-Joy and found the following: N-Joy does not deliver a consistent dose of nicotine. The different dosages of nicotine did not correspond to the dosages advertised on the e-cig or refill cartridges. The nicotine free cartridges were found to contain nicotine. They also found tobacco-specific nitrosamines which are carcinogenic chemicals found in real cigarettes.
Overall I am very disappointed in the false advertising used by N-Joy and am considering buying a tobacco injector, menthol tubes and growing my own tobacco and going back the the real thing, considering the main reason I quit was due to FSC compliant cigs.
Found it was the best product to curb the need for a real cigarette, but after 3 days of this “hangover” side effect, I’ve gone back to the patch. Would be willing to spend more on an ecig that didn’t have that effect. Anyone else gone through this/ found a better product?
It tastes gross. It reminds me of vics vapor rub. It cost eight dollars for one. It keeps burning my lip. My chest hurts and makes me cough I feel its just as bad a a normal cigerette.
Maybe it’s because I tried smoke 51, but the NJOY e cig has bad taste and it mad me naseaus and made me cough! Can’t figure that one out. Very bad taste.
I used to get this at my local mall and it has helped me with my cravings for cigs. I had my 2 batteries for up to 6 months and it went defective. I went to the actual site to order 2 new batteries and a car charger. Since the batteries goes out quickly I can charge while driving. They never sent it to me and already took money out of my account! It was $50 worth of product that I had ordered! I called customer service and they did not do anything about it! They didn’t even give me my refund and I never received the product!
Still not going to give up until I get my refund back! I even ordered Apollo ecigs and received my extreme kit pack within 2 days.
Do not buy, I spent over one hundred dollars at the smokers club for these, I was really excited, until the vapr started to quit after only a few days. Now I get nothing from the N-joys. Customer Sevice is terrible. I switched to V2s, and still plenty of vape, and great flavors for over a month now, they also have great service, and shipping is very fast’ Drop the N-joy and order a V2, Not had a real smoke now for over a month.
ever put you tongue on a 9v battery when you were a kid? that’s what this tastes like.
I purchased the starter kit. Had some problems with one of the batteries. Returned the battery and was sent the wrong replacement item. Returned the wrong item and haven’t heard from NJoy since. I left emails and voice mails still nothing.
I am switching to V2. I heard that thier product and customer service is good.
I’ve had this thing on charge . . light is green which from what i understand means the battery is charged.
I attach the filter and NOTHING. No drag, no smoke, no light. This unit is BRAND NEW
Anybody else have this problem.
VERY FRUSTRATING
The regular is tasteless….the menthols are quite good. I get head aches with regular cig’s….not with njoy.
I used these for about 6 months and have bought several packs of cartridges and noticed some got hot but never thought much about it. Tonight I opened a new cartridge and after about 4 puffs it got real hot and burned my fingers. I looked at it and noticed a hole in the plastic and the batting inside was was fire red and smoke was pouring out. I had to run it under water to put it out. I will be notifying the company and if they don’t want to help I will call a lawyer.
Tastes bad, but it’s only my first NPRO cartridge. Functionally it’s great, and refilss at $20 for 6 with 300 puffs or more each seems fair. Packs here are still pretty cheap compared to other places but it’s time to quit and this will help me.
Helps me stay off real smokes. I quit 2 months ago with the patch. When I am having cocktails I LIKE SOMETHING to drag on. I Don’t inhale and it’s kept me from wanting to smoke the real deal when I’m drinking. That is a big deal!
I have tried 2 different 2-piece options for e-cigs. The other one I tried was the Volt from smokeless image. The Njoy doesn’t draw well, and it doesn’t taste good. I much prefer the Volt. Maybe I got a bad one from Walmart. In any case, the Volt is cheaper and far better in my opinion.
