Hey everybody, how’s it going? We’re here with another e-cigarette review for you. This time we’re going to be talking about a brand that not many people have heard of before, but they put out a fantastic e-cigarette. If you want a quick synopsis of the brand, you’ll see our “Quick Review” just below, but just keep scrolling to read more.
For those of you that don’t like reading, we’ve put together a quick guide to their 2 popular products and given them an overall rating! This is based on their Mig 21 and SR72 Starter Kits that will be explored in full detail below.
The Mig 21 is the best miniature e-cig on the market. The SR72 is the greatest combination of parts we’ve ever seen. Buy a kit from them and you won’t be let down.
The Mig 21 is the best miniature electronic cigarette on the market right now. The owner of the company, Dray, is a genius engineer and configured this miniature e-cig to work at maximum capacity.
By combining a higher voltage battery with a low resistance tank, he basically created a small, nicely sized e-cigarette that could perform just as well as those bulkier setups you see.
If you want a fantastic e-cigarette without having to carry around what looks and weighs like a 1990’s style cell phone all day, the Mig 21 is where you have to look.
The SR 72 Aspire 1300 is a product that was reworked and rebuilt a few times since it was launched. Dray and his team at Mig Cigs are constantly optimizing their e-cigarettes for the best vapor and the best production. I think that’s awesome.
After testing it, I have to say that it really does provide a great vaping experience. The SR 72 combines a custom Mig Cigs battery with a tank from arguably the top tank manufacturer. We’ll talk more about this later. The point is, it works.
Oh and the best part? You can get the full SR 72 Aspire 1300 Starter Kit for only $99. That includes 2 custom built batteries, 2 Aspire tanks, 5 replacement coils, and … who cares? Those alone are worth 100 bucks!
Mig-Cigs-logoSo I’ve been working on building a directory of e-cigarette brands for a while now, and this name kept coming up as I combed through lists. That name was “Mig Cigs”. And even though I saw their name three or four times, I never stopped to check them out.
But after I saw them featured on IndoorSmokers (a hilarious e-cig Youtube channel by the way), I realized Mig Cigs wasn’t the type of brand that I thought they were.
I guess I just thought they were another brand that imported things like (these terrible clearomizers or the infamous generic “cig-a-like”).
Most brands that go by the ‘starter kit’ model are selling very similar products, usually the “cig-a-like” as pictured in the link above. They buy from overseas, make no changes besides to slap their sticker with a logo on the box and start selling them.
It Was NOT What I Expected
After looking through the site, I saw some things that blew my mind. There were two products specifically that were unlike anything I’d seen online.
It turns out that this company is actually the opposite of those glorified resellers. The owner, Dray, is a bit of a mad scientist genius type, and he creates products that are perfectly optimized for what you want out of your e-cigarette. The two main ones are covered above: the Mig 21 and the SR 72 Aspire 1300.
The “Mig 21”, as described above, a custom built miniature e-cigarette that is built for vapor production. There’s nothing like that out there. It’s literally impossible to find an e-cig that is shaped like a traditional cigarette AND gives you solid vapor production. Until now. Bulky e-cigarettes aren’t for everyone, and this product really saves a lot of pocket space and general annoyance.
The “SR 72 Aspire 1300”, also described above, is indeed a custom built combination that provides an incredible amount of vapor production and a generally fantastic vaping experience. It is not miniature like the Mig 21, but the goal of the SR 72 is vapor production and taste.
Our review is going to encompass both products, the rest of their products are fairly standard but may still be worth a look. If you want to check out their store beforehand, hit the button below:
Mig Cigs Deep Dive Reviews
If you are looking for the full rundown on these models, than you’re going to want to read on, this is our detailed section.
When you reach MigCigs.com, and after you adjust to the interesting web design, you can see that their main product is starter kits. They also sell replacement batteries, tanks, and e-lqiuid, but starter kits are the staple of their business.
When you visit the “Starter Kits” page, you may be overwhelmed at first. But if you look, there are only really 3 models of e-cigarettes being sold. Their standard e-cigarette, the Mig 21 and the SR 72. For the sake of saving everyone’s time, we’re only going to look at the Mig 21 and the SR 72 in this review. Their “Standard” line of kits is fine and good, but they are nothing new really. But we’re going to have some fun with the SR 72 and the Mig 21!
2 batteries and a pack of low resistance tanks!
The Mig 21 is a game changer. It’s a mini electronic cigarette, but don’t hold that against it! Instead of your typical inefficient and bad-tasting prefilled cartridge, the Mig 21 uses a refillable tank like you see with the big setups…just a bit smaller.
Refillable e-cigarette options are very much preferred by many e-smokers because you can refill your tank many, many times before needing a replacement. This makes them a much better value in the long run. Not to mention that you can try any e-liquid on the market, you’re not stuck using only the flavors offered by that company. So your options become basically endless.
Who Would Like the Mig 21?
- Those who want a small e-cigarette but are frustrated with everything else on the market.
- Experienced vapers who still want a smaller, quality backup they can use on the go or in an emergency.
- Those who like to do stuff with their hands with an e-cigarette dangling out of their mouth. (Driving, Yardwork, Writing, etc)
- Anyone who wants to combine portability and simplicity with power and satisfying puffs.
Don’t Be This Guy
So maybe you don’t believe that a miniature e-cig can create quality clouds of vapor that taste good, and we don’t blame you! So let’s talk a bit about how the Mig 21 is built.
The reason the Mig 21 is our “best miniature e-cigarette”, is because it is built differently than any others. Plain and simple. Other brands have tried to produce similar products and failed. V2 Cigs released their ‘EX Blanks’ soon after the Mig 21, and it was basically the same product….except it produced very little vapor, and the vapor it did produce was tasteless and unfulfilling.
This is because they made a fairly simple change, took a risk on it, and it worked out. I don’t want to get too technical, but basically he tried a tank with a low resistance on a battery with a very short charge time. Low resistance tanks require more energy, so nobody had really used one on a smaller battery before.
But it actually worked quite well because, as it turns out, the user has to take less of a pull each time. So in the end the battery work evens out between the long, less intense pull and the short, more intense one. So basically they proved everyone wrong and have the best mini, handheld, “do what you want while you use it” e-cigarette on the market.
Mig 21 Starter Kit Options, Prices and Contents
Mig Cigs only offers two variation of this model. One is called the “Mig 21 Clear Fusion Kit”, currently running for $69.95. The other is the “Special Edition Kit”, which comes with a beautiful cherry wood box to hold all of your e-cig supplies. That one runs for $89.95. The only difference between the two is that the special edition kit comes with the wooden box and a free 30 mL bottle of e-liquid. But I have to say, the wooden box is actually extremely useful and probably worth the extra $20.
Besides those differences, here are the contentes:
- 2 x 140mm batteries
- 3 x Clear Fusion (2.5 Ohm) or Clear Fusion Max (1.8 Ohm)
- 1 x Soft Carrying Case
- 1 x Charging Kit
That may seem like a steep price, but the kit is packed with good stuff and your only recurring costs will be e-liquid and the occasional tank that stops working. The original kit should last you about a month and a half. Meanwhile $70 is about 8 packs of cigarettes. Would that last you a month and a half?
If you are looking for an e-cig that pumps out vapor like a champ but doesn’t take up all your pocket or purse space or require extra attention, than you have to try the Mig 21. It’s a diamond in the rough and a very innovative product.
Mig cigs sr 72The Mig 21 is great, but not everybody is looking for a smaller e-cigarette (though I do recommend it for everyone because it is so useful when you can’t use your huge vape).
But some people just want pure power, huge clouds of vapor and a satisfying hit. Give them a powerful battery and a well-built tank, and they’re happy as a clam (are clams really happy or something?)
Anyway
The SR72 is one of the coolest combinations I’ve seen from a large brand. Usually brands will stick with the same manufacturer to keep things simple. Instead, Mig Cigs went and got the best parts from different companies, THEN modified them, and only then did they put it together to create a vapor producing monster. Here are the parts:
The AR1300 Aspire Bottom Coil Tank –
Yes, that’s a mouthful. But bottom coil is the only really good option on the market today, and Aspire is one of the top manufacturers of flawless tanks. Combine those two together, and you end up with a fantastic tank on the SR 72.
High Output, Long Charging Batteries –
mAH is a measure of how much charge a battery can hold. 1300 mAH is a LOT. Which means it can pump out 4.2 volts all day, which is the optimal setting for the AR1300 Aspire Tank. It literally could go all day on one charge. This battery is fantastic for long term use. It’s one of my daily vapes for sure.
SR72 Aspire 1300 Kit – This is the standard kit, the mid range and the most popular. It is running for $99.95 and comes with:
- 2 x SR72 Aspire 1300 Tanks
- 2 x 1300 mAH Batteries
- 1 x Soft Case
- 1 x Charging Pack
with the option to purchase a bottle of e-liquid at 50% off, and also the option to upgrade your batteries to “variable voltage”, which offers you more control over the output of your battery.
SR72 Aspire 1300 Junior Kit – If you want to enjoy the incredible vapor of the SR72 but don’t have the money, there is a cheaper option. It’s pretty simple, you get one tank, one battery, and the chance to upgrade your battery to variable voltage. It comes with the charging materials too, of course. This one runs for only $70, and you’re only losing 1 tank and 1 battery. You’l have to do the math to see if that’s a better deal for you or not. I would go with the above kit, just because it’s only $30 more and you will be able to charge one battery while using the other.
