An Honest GreenCig Review - Page 3 - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

Snarkyone · 10-25-2009, 07:02 PM

GreenSmoke and GreenCig are two different models from what I understand so I don't believe the carts are compatible. I have heard from Red Dragon owners who say the carts are not really compatible and the RD is like the Bloog or E-9 whatever they call them. Thanks to all who thanked me and liked the review, we reviewer types love to be stroked, lol!

As for refilling them go get needle from the pharmacy and inject in through the bottom or atomizer end. It takes a little patience because the liquid is so thick but it works great. I have also thought of using a flavor injector like we use with turkey and other meats since that needle is a bit bigger and might work better, I can tell more once I try it, as for now I am using a diabetic needle that cost $1 at Krogers.

Yes, I have the 220 kit the 300 kit has the shorter batteries so I didn't see the point in spending the cash on it and besides I had juice and other things that I didn't really need the more expensive kit. Yes you can use a KR808D-1 with GreenCig carts, I don't think you will get the life out of the juice in the cart that you do on a GreenCig battery and here is why. The GreenCig battery has some circuitry in it that not only cuts off after so many seconds but it also monitors the number of puffs over a period of time and won't let you take a puff if your "abusing" it vaping too much in a short amount of time. I have yet to have this trigger but I can see it's value in prolonging cart life by monitoring your usage. To those that want to argue if this is fact, talk to the vendor I am just repeating what info he gave me.

Bmarkosi, I have the G220 not the G300 kit sorry for any confusion. What I have is 2 long GreenCig batteries with Green led, 4 carts, charger and instructions in a few languages. The difference being in the battery size I think the G300 is on it's way out or it has to be upgraded to the better batteries, it makes no sense to get that one the way it is. I don't know if the KR808D-1 batteries last longer than the GreenCig or not but I can say the GreenCig battery is a horse! It works for a long time before needing a charge. I would recommend the 220 kit over the 300 kit. You can also go with the KR808D-1 and use the GreenCig carts, I did that at one point then went with the GreenCig kit full time and I have no complaints. If you only want the best and only want to make one purchase instead of multiple kits searching for the best then look no further. I have a m401, 510, 6v mod, KR808D-1, and a GreenCig and nothing beats the last 2 except a HV mod and that's not really a fair comparison because that's not a traditional E-Cig. Another cool thing about the KR808D-1 and GreenCig is that their are also able to be used with the 901 with a staple. Not only do they rock but they are very versatile.

Hope this has answered any lingering questions and if there are more questions post them.

I've got both the 200 and 300. The 300 batteries are smaller to fit into the PCC.

My only complaint with them would be the batteries failing after a few weeks use.

Snarkyone · 10-25-2009, 09:35 PM

Hmm did you talk to the vendor about it, the GreenCig is top notch as you know and I would be surprised if they would not have at least offered you a replacement battery if not for free then at a greatly reduced price. I would even try to contact Greenworld Technology Ltd and I would imagine you could get a replacement no problem. To those that want to see the vapor and how it hits go check out my video review, and no laughing at the hair and lack of shave I didn't plan on making a video I did it as a favor for another member and figured what the hell and put it up for you guys to laugh at. GreenCig Vaping Technique and Vapor.

bmarkosi · 10-26-2009, 01:45 AM

Since I want to buy an ecig and be done with it, hopefully only buying liquids from that point on, I was wondering if a pcc is neccessary or if one GreenCig battery will last all day?

The things is, Nhaler only has the 1-piece set available right now and I am determined to order by the end of the night. Do you feel that just one battery and two cartridges (with some juice too) is enough to get started and last a while or should I wait for the two battery set (like the one you bought) to become available? This is a big problem since the batteries seem very expensive and the two-battery kit is the only one that is reasonable but isn't in stock and I want to order TONIGHT.

I am having a very hard time deciding on whether it is better to get the M702 set from absolutelyecig (which comes with a pcc, but only 1 batter/atomizer), the revolver (which is the same except it is maybe cheaper but out of stock, I really want to order tonight!), or the Sidesho, which seems very cool and comes with a PCC as well.

I really want to get a lot of vapor (cuz I think it looks really cool), and I can't really know if throat hit is important to me since I don't have any experience with e-cigs. What I do want is a lot of flavor, and a device that is easy to refill and is low maintenance. I want to have one ecig with me all day and have both the battery last, the cartridge last (until i refill it at night) and full flavor/ lots of vapor. If the greencig can provide me with lots of vapor/flavor/all day battery I'll order right now.

Thx for all your help!

Ps: Nice video snarkyone =)

I've got a 510, KR808D-1, 901 and a Revolver.

At this point I can't honestly recommend the Revolver to a first-time buyer. Yes.. I got mine to work.. but....

bmarkosi · 10-26-2009, 01:55 AM

Why wouldn't you recommend the revolver to a first-time buyer? How is the vapor on it? I've seen the video-review, but I like getting different opinions. And what do you mean you got yours to work but..?

Snarkyone · 10-26-2009, 02:07 AM

If you want to buy it tonight and can't wait have you thought of going with the KR808D-1 kit since that can be used with the GreenCig carts and can get one that has the PCC. I think you might be able to get by with just one battery but I can't be sure and I sure as hell don't want to give you a bum steer. I have found that the batteries last me a good long time but I have not really timed it and it really wouldn't matter because if one thing ever subject to user differences this is. Think of these like cars even if we have identical setup in identical cars our mileage will differ, it could be slight it could be large depending on our difference in driving styles. Just for the sake of argument let's say I have a lead foot (which I do) and take off as fast as possible without getting tickets all day, I drive 75 - 80 on the freeway, and in general don't worry to much about mileage more than time. Let's say you on the other hand drive like a granny, nice and slow no fast starts or anything. Provided your not in front of me doing that crap and you live the mileage between us is going to be different. Same thing with the E-Cig, my personal vaping habits are going to differ from yours so it's all relative really.

As much as I want to tell you to go for it and grab the single battery kit, I would hate for you to be stuck at work with no backup. If you absolutely can't wait you should be quite happy with the KR808D-1, it's very close to the GreenCig but it's still not the GreenCig, and in my mind the GreenCig is superior. I even posted on here vaping a GreenCig cart and vaping a GreenCig battery with KR808D-1 cart. The difference in the vapor production and hit is significant in my eyes. I have found a place for you or anyone else that wants one that they can buy anytime go here: http://www.greencigusa.com/ Oh and they take paypal!!!

I wouldn't recommend it because right out of the box mine didn't work worth a snot. Two batteries, two attys, two cartridges... virtually no vapor production at all.

I have a pretty good handle on how PV's work.. and for the most part I know what I'm doing and generally know what to do depending on how the PV behaves... so I was able to "mod" mine and get it to work to my satisfaction.

But I wouldn't expect a first-time user to know how to recognize certain symptoms.. or know how to rectify them.

AlexaMac · 10-26-2009, 02:31 AM

I'm new... what is the "big mod" you say it won't replace and forgive my ignorance.
As I stated, I'm new. I order a starter kit from Innovation and couldn't figure it out.
I emailed the supplier/owner and he said he'd send me the easy instructions but never did and then got quite rude about the whole thing. I'm out over $100 and don't want to lose any more money or keep smoking regular cigarettes. Please help me out here. I need something that works as well you talk about but I don't know how to begin. Thanks for your help.
