Hi Nazareth , I mostly only smoke after work and I've never really paid attention to how long I e-smoke. But I think the vegas lasts close to what they advertise. Again, it's hard for me to be sure. As a side note, in the little paper that comes with the cigar (it's quite small),they recommend that it's used within two weeks. I guess the nicotine evaporates in about that time.
I also think the liquid is different because it doesn't dry the mouth like some others when
smoked without inhaling. And the tingling is like the real thing.
Of course taste is completely subjective and the vegas is most likely not for everybody, but
I like it.

Yeah I need a good strong tobacco flavor, so I think I'd probably liek it much better than the bland penstyle cartridges I'm now smoking- I'll probably get a box of 5 from Heavengifts on Ebay- they sell a box of 5 for nearly $100 less than Ruyan sells them for for soem reason. Once again though, I'm orderign on a Friday, so I'll have to wait out hte weekend befor3e they ship it lol.

I mostly want the Cigar for smoking in the house- even htough Esmoking isn't bad for bystanders, I stil lfeel bad abotu belching clouds of vapor into the room- so it'd be good to have it absorb before exhaling- plus I want a good flavor to boot. Woudl you say the flavor and hit lasted almost for hte entire time? The 60% you said, was it real bland toward the end? Or did it still have a noticeable kick? I spose anythign is better than a penstyle that loses it's kick in an hour or so- I guess I'm asking too many quesitons lol-

Jusy one more if you don't mind- When it got toward hte end, was the battery dead? or did it just stop producing vapor cuz cartridge was dry? I'm thinking if battery is still ok, then it could be refilled and stretched just a bit, but if battery goes kaput, then I guess that won't be an option

Default Great demo review

Thanks leaford, great review and demo. Being a vapor freak, would love to get, but just can't afford till next month. Will be interesting how long battery will last. Will have to last long time to justify cost since can't recharge. I do see that now you can buy one cigar for 28 or $29.00 instead if 5.

I think you're goign to have to add a 6 Leaford as the loongtotem produces even more vapor than that and would be near a 6.7-7 vapor-wise- I'd keep your previous scale for hte other products, but include the 6+ for exceptional products that break the standard scale- there seems to be very few products that can do this- that refilled Ruyan, and the loongtotem being two such products- most others will fall in the scale range you've already set up

Thank you very much for that video- your videos have been very helpful and informative- I'm super stoked now knowing it will live on after it runs out of Ruyan liquid. I wish wish wish that either Ruyan would sell their liquid to us like other e-juice products, or that MacFan can replicate the Ruyan cigar liquid to be a good mouth vapor, a great cigar taste, but absorb when inhaled so nothign comes out when exhaled to keep it a discrete in-public device.

im the opposite way. i'ld buy the ruyan cigar if i could buy one with regular e-liquid. great vid leaford. if only there was a way to remomeve the battery and replace it with out compromising the shell. i have taken a battery out through the LED end but you need to rip the connections to the micro-chip. if i had a vice im thinkin i could take the threaded end off of a penstyle too, and perhaps replace the battery with a bit of soldering. wonder if there is anyway with the ruyan..half thinkin of getting a 5 pack to experiment on.

I think it's worth pickign up the 5 pack as the price is quite good from heavengifts, and the fact that we can use two devices to kinda extend the life of both somewhat by alternating (and htne refilling with hte ruyan). Plus, like you say, we get to experiment with hte cigar when it runs out of battery charge sometime in the future lol- Would be cool if it just has a pop in battery that isn't all soldered to leads & whatnot- I think the future of esmoking demands that these devices be made to use rechargeable batteries that you just pop in, instead of being proprietary batteries that you must purchase from the company- I understand that this is how htey make hteir money, but I think if this product is really goign to take off- we the copnsumer need to be able to swap out batteries and replace wirth much much cheaper rechargeable batteries. If thse companies don;'t adapt to htis need, then the only clients they will have are exclusives liek us that are willing to fork over more money for propietary parts.

very true naz. yeah the heavens gifts deal is a smoker. i first started this e-cig venture thinking i was gonna save €150 a month by not smoking. now im addicted to persuing that elusive perfect e-cig, spending, spending, spending. our e-cig overlords know the game well, to keep us bamboozled everytime. but you're right, average joe wont join the act till this is no longer an all-in hobby.
