Presentation/Packaging 4/5
They’ve upgraded a number of things about their product, though the presentation isn’t really one of them. Volcano still uses the tried and true magnetic flap box. While it’s not completely outdated, it does feel a little behind the times. Although a sleeker and more minimalistic design graces the outside of this kit than most. The kit, including battery and charge pack does come in white now as well, allowing for a more discreet appearance in the battery especially. They still use the same charge case as previous iterations, but then again if it’s not broke then why fix it?
Battery/Responsiveness 4/5
Volcano has moved to a two piece kit and gotten rid of the old atomizers, one way this helps their battery is that it seems to fire off quicker. The battery life is pretty solid for a mini ecig, so that could be part of the reason that they include the case charger. And it’s still one of the lightest and smallest mini batteries around, making the switch to e-cigs that much easier. Overall, their battery is better than their last version and worthy of an improved score.
Vapor/Flavor(s) 4.5/5
The vapor/flavor category is where Volcano has made the most improvement. Their flavors were always good before, but now that they use cartomizers there’s no worry about holdover from trying different flavors. Volcano has a lot of flavor options too, all with a Hawaiian flare like “Waikiki Watermelon” and “Cherry Lava. They also have the option to use blanks with the kit, so that you can take advantage of their huge array of e-liquids. It’s pretty impressive that such a small ecig would produce as much vapor as this kit does, and the options they offer definitely set them apart from most other competitors.
Overall (Not An Average) 4/5
The Volcano kit is still a great value, just as it always has been. However, the product is the same price and now even better than before. They offer a solid battery for its size, and their vapor and flavor as good or better than any other similar kit on the market. With all their accessories and options, Volcano is certainly making a name for themselves.

The new Lavatube Variable Voltage Mod from Volcano. Be sure to take a look at our Volcano Lavatube E-Cig Review.
the Volcano parts have obviously chosen from a high quality manufacturer. Specifications provide a very fulfilling experience. Dense vapor from the atty and the quality e-liquid. Flavors are fantastic and offer a wide variety. Shipping is fast, offering 2-day FedEx from Hawaii at a very affordable rate. Free 2-day for large orders. I’m very happy with my Volcano. I started with the V-Kit Standard and I’ve ordered extra Atomizers and Batteries to make a nice full V-Pack that gets me through the day with more to spare. I enjoy vaping so much and it’s so convenient that I’m finding I should start using a lower nicotine level.
I have a Volcano and Inferno and I swap batteries and Atomizers back an forth, using whatever is convenient. The Inferno (T) Kit offers two very large battery that last for days. Vapor is plentiful and the device is never hot to the touch, only warm. Flavor offerings are diverse and creative. Choconilla Haze is my new favorite. Subtle tobacco flavor with sweet vanilla and chocolate tones.
Flavors are good, it doesnt stink, it satisfies my nicotine craving, it saved me alot of money and I believe one day it could really help me not smoke at all.
The only thing is, you have to make sure it’s full at all times, so that it doesnt leak.
Otherwise, I like this product better than the others I’ve tried…no cotton, filter, etc..just drops
We bought 2 starter kits. Had a problem with charging the batteries from the start. Every time we called customer service they said send it back. We spent three weeks trying to get these volcano cigs to work and spent $160 with no satisfaction from seller. I believe the reviews I’ve read online are submitted by volcano.
I have spent over $500 at volcanoecigs.com over the last 8 months and have been a loyal customer to them. Recently I tried their magma tank-o-mizers and they were great so I ordered a few of those. When I received them there was one defective one that I spoke to their customer support about as it is not covered under a warranty I wanted to make sure that they knew it was a defect in the tank-o-mizer and they agreed, sent me a replacement and I was on my way. My past order I ordered 4 of them as a gift for someone and to be sure the gift was fine I tried each and every one and two of the tank-o-mizers were defective, I called volcano they instructed me to clean it and call back if it was still an issue, which it was. So after letting them dry overnight and testing them once again they both had a terrible burnt taste to them when I called them back they told me that the liquid that I was using destroyed the tank-o-mizers and it was my fault, even though I have been using the same e-liquid that I have been using with my original tank-o-mizers that I had received(Which I did make clear to their customer service rep).
BOTTOM LINE:
volcanoecigs.com does NOT care about their customer base, and if you order from them you better pray that they don’t send you defective merchandise because they will not replace it!
Sincerely Warning Everyone,
Ex Volcano ECIG Customer
This is a great product and Volcano has the best CS ever and the best forum and chat room help is amazing
I have an inferno kit, a provari, several home made box mods, janty ego, and volcano’s magma. I started with the magma and it is a great kit, but i needed something with a little more “umph”. The inferno is truly a great PV, plus volcano offers a one year warranty on everything except atomizers. No other company I’ve ever seen does that, unless you are buying a mod that costs around 200 dollars. I have tried almost every major ecig company on the market, and Volcano is best by Far.
I have bought 4 different kits from them trying to find what works best. The magma kit is ok but the batteries go dead quickly so you have to buy alot of them to get through the day. If you get one that is DOA or dies soon, they will not send you another one. Period. I’ve been nice and gotten mad with them and they will not replace anything that’s defective. I’ve been promised a WMA to be mailed but never got it and have only gotten “I’m sorry” replies from them saying they will not replace my dead goods. If you have 500 bucks to spend with them to help quit…go for it, that’s what I spent to find the inferno kit that I love and about 6 months worth of juice flavors. I hate them as people and a company but I like smoking the inferno.
I enjoy the Volcano e cig! I ordered mine a few months ago and ever since i pick up the e cig more than i did regular cigarettes. If that is not helping me quit then i dont know what is. Thanks for the review!
I initially ordered this product because there was a non-nicotine option and I have never smoked cigarettes, nor have I ever desired to. All I wanted was a fun toy.
However, after paying a bunch for their 2-day Fed Ex shipping and purchasing both a Volcano starter kit (which only comes with nicotine-laced cartomizers) and a vanilla-flavored non-nicotine pack of cartomizers, my package arrived in the mail, which I was excited to try. Lo and behold, the Volcano battery was out of juice.
When I tried to charge it, the charger LED stayed red for 24 hours, and the LED on the Volcano itself never turned off. I figured maybe the LEDs were messed up so I tried using the e-cig despite this. Nothing doing – the battery still had no charge. :/
I contacted customer support and waited a couple of days before they responded. This guy Shadow Rhelm, their customer service troll, told me that they could give me a USPS regular air mail slip to send the battery and charger back to them so they could run extensive tests on them.
I mailed the parts back to them and after about a week they told me they had received my e-cig and were going to run some tests. A few days later they told me they’d be shipping my package back. Finally about two weeks from the time I sent mine in I received my e-cig (the same one I had sent in – the company didn’t even have the decency to send me a replacement…).
I tested the e-cig and the same situation!!! What extensive tests could they have run?!?! They sent me the original Volcano and a new charger, and still nothing worked!!
At this point, I asked for a refund of my 2-day shipping fee and they told me they couldn’t do that. I said that I wanted to return the whole device and they said no, but they could give me a few “reward points” to spend even more money with them. Give me a break assholes!
These people honestly don’t care about their customers or potential customers – just shovel that money into their pockets and enjoy that Hawaiian living… Well, peace out and aloha. They stole over $40 from me… hopefully someone else will read this and save their money.
I have no incentive to be here other than complete disappointment.
Wishing you all the best, review readers.
long lasting batteries excellant vapor quick delivery time i tried njoy, premium,mistic and mystic vapors the inferno blows them away if you are a heavy smoker like i was dont play around buy the inferno first iwasted several hundred dollars on the smaller units they do work well and if you can afford to buy 3 or 4 cartridges a day you will be fine but if you are looking for all day batteries and a reasonable cost the inferno is the way to go
I’ve got about a 50% failure rate with their carts and batteries right out of the box. Their warranty and customer support is nonexistent. I keep buying from them because the low price offsets the terrible service and shoddy quality.
Batteries lasted only 15-20 min from fully charged, that took over 5 hours to charge batteries out of the box. Tried to return bad product and was told there was nothing they could do for me. I was told the batteries were defective and they at least replaced them. Don’t waste your time and money on these things. Not to mention the headaches I’ve been getting from them. I’ll find another brand.
I have had great experience with the inferno kit and would highly recommend. I just use the blank tubes so I can refill whenever it runs out. The other e liquids also work great with the inferno. It was worth the money and has made me a happy vaper!
