I think there will be an e-cigarette kiosk boom at U.S. malls. Specialty Retail Report just had a cover story on the trend. You can read it at SpecialtyRetail.com

I know I'm still new with the e-smoking thing but I've already saved a lot of money.

Between myself and my partner we were spending about £500 a month on cigarettes. I started on a super cigarette and quit real cigs almost straight away. I ordered more batteries and atomisers and bought myself a Janty Kissbox. I also bought enough cartridges and e-liquid for about 2 months.

Even though I bought all that, I still spent about half of what I would've spent in 1 month. As my Janty has a guarantee on batteries and atomisers I will save more as if they die within the guarantee I can get them replaced.

As we've now got the chargers and a USB cable for the Janty, all we're going to have to pay for a while is for a couple of atomisers a month for the rn4081 and batteries as the originals start to die. I get through about 10-15 mls of e-liquid a week, which works out cheaper then cartridges.

We will buy a few cartridges every now and then for me to use then refill to death.

I've worked out that roughly we will spend at least 80% less on e-smoking and that's if I count new batteries and atomisers every month. If they take longer between needing replacing then it's even more then 80% cheaper.

Hey couponfork.. I am sure that you can find them cheaper than $60, but you would want to get a quality ecig, and probably a couple extra batts and atomizers off the bat, since there is a slight learning curve, and you may burn through an atomizer or 2..

As far as the model goes, that would all depend on the amount you (or your boyfriend) smoke, and how long you would use it for at a time. Some are smaller (and more realistic) with shorter battery life, and others larger with better battery life and an easier draw.

Unless you get a bad unit out of the box, there shouldn't be any that just stop working on you, although I am sure it has happened at some point in the past. Many of the suppliers (if not all of them) offer a warranty. Just make sure to keep your atomizer moist! Remember: A wet atomizer is a happy one! haha..

The average cartridge lasts for quite a while when new, and if you are refilling them manually, they should last you at least 2-3 cigarettes worth of puffs before you would have to refill them again.

There are plenty of suppliers here on the forums with great websites. I would visit a few until you find one in your price range, that you like the style of, and that suits your e-Smoking needs. Just click on the Suppliers List button at the top of the page and there is a nice list there.

Hope I helped!

Gotta disagree with you there. With heavy use, you can expect atomizers to last anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months, maybe longer for moderate or light use. Batteries will last about 3 months tops but you will see a decline in performance before then.

Many merchants do have warranties, 1 year is most common, except Janty only gives 6 months, and Sedansa and Ruyan offer 5 years. Some merchants only offer 30 days or even 14 days, but their devices are lower priced, and they offer inexensive replacement parts. Litecig is in the middle, with low prices and a 6 month warranty.

I have been using the same e-cig for a couple months. I am very satisfied, and have had no problems with my battery or atomizer. As manager for the company that is selling them I am a "heavy smoker". One cartridge will last me about a pack of cigs. But because I demo it all day I go through about 4 or 5 a day. (mostly no nicotine so I don't get a rush). I have tried 7 different types of e-cigs, and so far I have not liked any until I started selling and using the Gamucci. If you are interested you can e-mail me or visit our website. myvicenow.com I am not saying that our product is the absolute best out there, just that I have been very happy with the results. and the cost for the kit and then cartridges is not bad either. let me know if you have any questions. I have also done a lot of research as far as what the fda is saying and which e-cigs are the healthiest and have the fewest chemicals. areber@mail.com

Default RE: Best e-cig?

I recently purchased a greentip starter kit and so far i really like it. They have a very cool design and great amount of vapor. I used to own a smoking everywhere but it was really heavy and always breaking down on me. I've had my greentip for 3 weeks now and i haven't smoked a real cig since. if u type in greentipusa on google u should find it.

Default They haven't made the best e-Cig yet...and you will get a different answer...

...whenever you ask.

People tend to recommend the 901 and 510...but in practice *I* have found the 510 either makes copious amounts of flavorless or near-flavorless vapor...or burns what you put in it.

And it is exactly not like a cigarette

901's feel like you are sucking a milkshake and I've never had a 901 atomizer live thru heavy use.

The best eCig you can get is one with cheap consumable parts and decent battery power.

If you want the best PV OTOH, I am sure someone can recommend some contraption that is exactly not like smoking, but more like feeding a nicotine habit with crazy batteries, tubes and wires

For me, my favorite "e-Cigarette" is a Rube Goldberg mix of an L88 atomizer "the oft-maligned but seldom understood "Blu" style super mini" with it's big brother, the J108 battery.

It is the same thickness of a cigarette, about the length of a 100s and gets hot enough and makes enough "smoke" so that it is like smoking a cigarette. It is what I hand to people that want to "try it out". I have one that is configured to 'look' like an analog but I usually use my red/black DemonStik™ Combo for myself

If you are new, you do what everyone else does...you buy a bunch of stuff and find what fits right for you, but if you are like most of the first-timers I've turned on, the more "exotic" options are too far away from what you are used to, and the option that is "just like it" as other shortcomings (battery life, heat/vapor production) that it leaves you lacking...so for those people, I tell them to "get a Blu atomizer and a Sideshow battery and charger and give that a shot. it won't break you."

YMMV

-K
