please just tell my lazy ass what to buy :P - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

Hi guys, I've been reading and reading and I just can't make heads or tails of it, so I think I'd rather let you just tell me what I should buy.

Here's what Im looking for. Right now I have the little smoking everywhere e-cig and I love the taste and all the yummy flavors, hehe (especially chocolate! mmmmmm). But I'm sick of the batteries dying every hour and the filters only lasting about 40 puffs.

I want a reliable e-cig that lasts long, tastes great, and produces great vapor and I don't care what it looks like. Multiple flavors would be a plus too.

What should I get? What's this stuff about having to clean the atomizer (the smoking everywhere people implied that it would last forever and never mentioned cleaning or anything else)

Does the "juice" taste like the e-cig filters I'm using now?

I'm so overwhelmed by all the products and details.... I just want to buy something good and start smoking!!

Sorry for being so lazy....thank you SO much guys!!

i would feel the same way. the info here is scattered, overwhelming and overkill.
what is your price range ?

MagusSteele · 11-21-2008, 04:50 AM

First need to know where you are, so we know where to send you.
2 - The liquid is normally a Lot better then the prefilled carts.
3 - Price? no object, Kissbox from Janty, regular price, Penstyle, its normally the longest lasting battery and carts/juice fill/usage time.
4- 901 is a close second, les useage time before refilling/topping off the cart, and the batteries are a touch smaller, but the smoke is about the same as the Pen.

You can clean the Atomizers, it does seem to help in some cases. Couple good ways. Small steam cleaner spraying into the cart end for a bit, and let dry, another way, finger on battery end, fill with a little water and shake well, then blow through the battery end, to blow out the gunk, let dry, and drip some in to re-prime the chamber before useing. The last way is to boil it for a short time, not enough to cook and melt parts, just enough to loosen the gunk that builds up.

The atomizers AND batteries do go bad, i dont care what brand it is or what they say. It takes time, but the more its used the shorter the life span. It can be weeks or months, it depends.

I think that covers it all.

price is no object....not that I'm rich mind you, but I'd rather pay alot now and have a killer product that lasts.

I'm about to look into the kissbox, thanks SOOOOOO much! Any other input?

I was contemplating making a very similar post to this at some point. But I've spent some time reading the forums now, and MagusSteele's post suggests pretty the same as the conclusions I've come to.

dc2k08 · 11-21-2008, 05:22 AM

this kissbox is fine. although it is also a re-branded generic as everything else, it is a good generic. there are a few other brands that use the same core pieces though it does come with a very handy choice of manual switch which lets you heat the coil by pressing a button rather than taking a drag. this lets a larger amount of vapor develop in the chamber.

An alternative to the kisssbox is the Screwdriver by Trog Inc. It is extremely robust and also comes with a manual switch. The one benefit the screwdriver has over any other device on the market at the moment is that it takes a pop-in, pop-out large lithium cell battery that will last a whole day and more on a single charge. it also gives out vast plumes of vapour. another key benefit for the screwdriver is that it will take any generic atomizer in the the popular 901 size and Trog might also soon offer an adapter to take any pen-style model also. It was designed and is manufactured in England.

The only other model worthy of mention is The Ruyan Bling. It is also a robust device that takes pop-in, pop out regular sized lithium batteries, though i am unsure how for they will get you on a single charge. The atomizers which are attached to the casing can only be bought through Ruyan though there is a cheaper generic version that is not known to be as worthy.

awesome! I think I'm going to go for the kissbox. The screwdriver looks really good, but MAN is it ugly! My only concern is the fragility of the thing, but I guess these things are all fragile.

Which model should i get?

No.....a Kissbox is a Kissbox, not a generic.
It would be a great choice, and if you'd like to save a few bucks you could also consider the Kick Titanium SS. Super long lasting battery and smokes better than any generic penstyle.

dc2k08 · 11-21-2008, 05:48 AM

The kissbox is composed of the same generic pieces that make up a lot of other brands on the market what-ever anyone else tells you. its one unique feature is the manual switch. if you want to disagree, that is fine. I'm not going waste any time arguing the point.

siggywiggy · 11-21-2008, 06:00 AM

one more thing guys......I was about to order a kissbox, and i was going to specify the liquid flavors when I read that it comes with 5 "cartridges". Does that mean I use cartridges or the liquid.

Oh man I'm so sick of reading....I just WANT IT!!!

(thanks for your patience guys!)
