According to sales figures from specialist shops, and according to the scores form our hardware tests, the best brand of e-cigarette is Innokin.
On the other hand, this subject is highly personal, so we should also mention other brands like Eleaf, Joyetech, Aspire, Geek Vape, Wismec, Augvape, Asmodus, Smok and UD, all of which produce very high-quality kit.
A complicated question
We have responded to hundreds and hundreds of questions on this website. As things stand, to find out which e-cigarette brand is the best, you would have to ask several people in our team. Why? Because there is not just one e-cigarette brand. There are many manufacturers, with very different models, and new products coming onto the market every week. As such, devices are constantly evolving, and rankings can change day by day.
So, between Joyetech, Aspire, Eleaf or Kanger to name but a few, which brand is absolutely the best pick?
If you look at technical progress in the vaping world since 2008, you can’t rule out Joyetech. Over the years, this Chinese manufacturer has masterfully maintained its technical leadership. Clearomizers, batteries, box mods, pods, Joyetech is everywhere. But what about the manufacturer Aspire? The Nautilus clearomizer certainly revolutionised vaping in its day. And Eleaf? Hasn’t the iStick Pico also made its mark?
If we are ranking solely from a historical point of view, we can pick Joyetech as the best e-cigarette brand without the slightest hesitation. However, if the technical specifications currently available are taken into consideration, disregarding the past, Eleaf performs extremely well and clearly comes out on top among the best brands at the moment as their gear is affordable, good quality, and highly popular.
