Matchless Disposable electronic cigarette

An UPDATE to this review may be found be clicking here.

I was very kindly sent a sample of the Matchless Disposable electronic cigarette recently by Julian of www.matchlessecig.co.uk. Although Julian didn’t specifically request that I review the product for him, I decided to anyway, as I’m starting to get a taste for doing reviews – probably an ego or age thing, I don’t know.

The real reason he sent me the freebie was down to a comment I made on a forum, where I suggested that I’d tried a Matchless before, but hadn’t thought much of it, but it turned out that possibly I actually had been trying a completely different product. So this review is to a large extent, me putting the record straight and removing any doubt!

During the video, you’ll observe that I have a slight problem with mine, and that I’m visibly disappointed about it because the Matchless comes close to being the best disposable I’ve tried so far. Despite being priced nearly 25% higher than some of the other disposables appearing on the market at £6.75 plus shipping, I would actually consider paying the difference but for the “stuttering” problem you’ll see in the video.

I contacted Julian at Matchless and showed him the video review to see if the problem I had was a common one and he confirmed to me that it wasn’t and I seemed to have a faulty example. His reply was as follows:

As you can imagine I am annoyed that the review sample had an intermitent cut out fault. I’ve passed on your review to the manufacturers as I am sure being intermittent it is one-off fault rather than the norm (and its the first time that particular issue has surfaced). As you will be aware most e-cigs have a small percentage of faulty units and by the way where we have been made aware of this in the past we offer a no quibble guarantee.

I’m genuinely pleased to hear that the stuttering isn’t recognised as an inherent problem and that I may have just been unlucky. He also went on to explain that Matchless are actively working towards higher QC standards and that this example will be fed back to the manufacturers. I will be trying another one soon which I hope will be problem free, but I will update this review with my findings, as it is an otherwise excellent product.
