Which e cig is REALLY best? - Page 2 - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

Hey cbeach

I know it's hard to believe but these things help massively in kicking, or at least reducing, tobacco use. We have some mighty smokers on here, lifelong users (I'm one of 'em) and a really common theme is how effortless the move to e-cigs was. Nobody's making any claims about e-cigs denting your nicotine dependency (and I think they're virtually useless for that purpose) but they sure do make tobacco manageable.

I haven't completely tanked real cigarettes yet. The first hit of the day is particularly hard to replicate. However, I no longer believe I'm missing the nicotine on that one. I think it's far more likely to be the chemical soup I crave. Ten minutes puffing on my pen-style takes care of that, and the range of flavours is fantastic - takes a bit of getting used to though.

Good luck

Emp

Hi Emp!

I'm convinced! No one has to sell me on the concept--logically it "should" work! I'm ready to jump on it--YESTERDAY!

BUT--and here's the big down side--thats only if the product continues to function--and/or I can buy spare parts to keep it working--and there's someone to call when it craps out.

No, I'm really NOT a rip roaring bi-atch <chuckles> I just need to know how to put together a plan to buy everything I need to start this program and to be able to stay on it.

Am I making sense?

Ok so I go to ecig--they have the type I want--they call it a super mini--AND seems shipping is pretty quick--price is also not bad. But then I look further. NO #$%$# spare atomizers for sale for this product. Didn't you guys say I needed one? Everything I read suggests I do. <BIG SIGHS> How can I be sure that if I buy an atomizer on another site it will fit this model.

Did you go to ecig.com, ecigsales.com or myecig.com?

I personally like the pensystles. I haven't tried Meltrex's "MyEcig Super Mini Electronic Cigarette", but this is the one I would recommend. He has great customer service and if anything goes wrong - he will correct it very fast. I get my orders from him (penstyle) usually within 2 days.

myecig (dot) com(slash) store

(the software here is refusing to allow me to post a link)

Is where I went--and that IS the one I want. But that site is VERY limited. Seems a reseller with just a few options--none of which includes selling spare atomizers--or for sure juice.

Am trying the other sites you mentioned now in hopes of a better selection of stuff needed.

thanx for the response!!!

You're in FL, right? I think Meltrex is the guy you should go with (I'm in UK so haven't used him but he's a board member and our hard-to-pleasers speak very highly of him).

In the UK we have two good guys, Pillbox and Smokester, and their units are very well priced. The thing we'll all have to get used to is that the devices are as consumable as the carts. Atomisers will break and batteries fail.

I've been extravagant to begin with (bought from all ends of the spectrum) but the way I see this going forward is to replace the atomiser every month or so and the batteries twice a year. Extravagance won't survive that so prices will have to fall.

I'll buy an atomiser for a fiver and a battery for eight quid but I won't go much further north. Some of the high end suppliers need to think about this (Janty have already done so).

I would email myecig.com and ask Meltrex if he sells extra atomizers for the mini. He is trying to get everything up and going and like I said, he has great customer service and will respond to you quickly.

Do not order the mini e-cig from ecig.com because I do not know anyone who is happy with that one.

I don't even know if Jane sells a mini e-cig from ecigsales.com. You might want to email her and ask.

cbeachinn · 07-12-2008, 04:59 PM

Ok so I wrote on the site and asked for the atomizer--no response to my email--but suddenly a new page showed up on the site selling them. That'll do! <grins> But NOT to be so easily pleased I have now written and asked him for juice as well. Ok so maybe I'm a bit of a bi-atch??

So, since he responded, I ordered the super mini I liked. Then came back here to do more get "juice" fast research. And there it is--the posting--says DON'T BUY THE SUPER MINI!

TheEmperorOfIceCream · 07-12-2008, 05:03 PM

Hey cbeach

I've got several superminis and I like 'em (also Rachel only said don't buy 'em from ecig.com). The only problem I have with superminis is the carts are tiny so you have to futz about with 'em.

ARRRG!!!

I give up--I tried my best--if it doesn't work then I ask for that wonderful service you guys promised would come. Then write back here if it doesn't come, right? <evil grins>

But I gotta be reasonable--I'd spend this much in a week on cigarettes anyway--maybe it'll at LEAST last that long????

Nuff said~~~

Unless you guys now have a good, fast, juice contact? (No I am NOT into brewing it myself--OK maybe I've home rolled a few--

but ONLY the kind you can't buy pre-rolled if you get my drift)

Thanks again guys for all the help!

Sandy-don't use the device & ask them if oyu can just exchange for hte Penstyle- they should be happy to do so
