christmas present to me---what's the best out there? - E-Cigarette Forum

Teresa44 · 11-22-2008, 09:41 PM

Hello all! I have only be e-smoking a couple of weeks. love it. but...........lots of little hassles now with atomizers getting clogged and now no vapor at all with my Pen or Mini. got from Puresmoker.com I am wondering if it is truly a "get what you pay for" experienece. So, husband said my Xmas present is to buy "The Cadillac of E-cigs". Anyone out there with more experience than me know what that might be? Quality products, lots of Vapor, good customer service for starters.
Janty Kissbox maybe? Other? I am in California, so I dont know that I can or should buy overseas.
Your thoughts?

Many Cadillacs ATM. Great reviews I have read on: Trogs Sd, Janes White whale, Puresmoker Mini Pocket ecig, Janty KB.

Things to do to prevent problems

Here's a thread with some good basic tips that apply even to the "Cadillacs" that will help keep things going smoothly.

well the cadillaco or say rolls royce at the moment i would say is the janty kissbox. but there are so many out there right now that it is really that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

hmm i just posted a thread "24 HOUR REPORT"...maybe my atomizer is getting clogged. maybe i am not the only one with low vapor probs...if i have to get the "cadillac" of ecigs, i will spend the money on one. i love the concept of vaping and LOVE cashjuice...and want to order lots of ejuice from puresmoker...just need to figure out how to get max vapor!
looking forward to the replies. why is the kissbox considered the cadillac? whats the difference? someone explain!

Well I think the KB has had the most amount of satisfied customers. That doesn't mean the others I listed are less good. Just less time on the market. The KB is the only one I have owned so far that I have not been utterly "Frustrated" by. But I don't own the others I listed as good reviews of. Also the KB is well designed and has a sturdy feel with a very sleek appearance. Mine is the stainless steel or titanium looking model. It looks like a surgical instrument which I find quite nice.

My Present is a Janty Kissbox Classic Extended.
It hasnt got here yet, so cant tell exactly much.

The Screw Driver, and the KissBox are the two big ones at the moment.
Trog's SD is a new design, and Janty is always working to better their line.
May be one more, a Sadansa? I know nothing about it, but have heard the name flying around from time to time.

Teresa - I think it'll be worth your while having a read of the site reviews. You'll find opinions vary. I own Janty KB's and 901's but if I was to give a short recommendation it'd be:

1. Hold off from making a quick decision - Janty are due to launch new devices any day now. Janty products (especially the KB) are built well and are supported by excellent customer service. You say you're looking for a 'cadillac' - (awful wide boat of a car!) - if that means quality then Janty do that well.
2. The 901 is a good short-term performer - you need a couple of spare atomisers and several batteries. The 901b looks good, some ladies seem to love the pink model and it comes with various colours of LEDs. I like the 901b (black), it attracts more attention than the Janty but - it just isn't in the same league for quality, it doesn't come with a 6-month warranty and it doesn't deliver the same throat hit. 901's are fine - but for the few bucks that are in it - you'll be much better off getting one from a reputable US supplier.
3. The Screwdriver has got excellent reviews and you'll not have the battery problems that come with 901's and Janty KB's. Although it uses a 901 atomiser the reviews report a much better smoke level and throat hit. Like the Janty KB - it's not cheap.
4. Read the E-Turbo ..my new invention.... thread - there's a new product in development that sounds very promising and may be on the market soon.

(When you have time to read the threads here you'll soon learn that 'cheap' is a highly debated issue. It essentially relates to the difference between initial outlay costs and maintenance costs which are significantly reduced if a usage warranty is offered - like Janty's).

Hope this of some help. Don't just take my view - I'm sure there are others who'll have worthwhile advice.

if u want seriously big clouds of vapor u might wanna consider a pipe there are a few suppliers that are carrying them. they are a little big an look just like a pipe but it is a workhorse. it is what i use when i am home.

Teresa44 · 11-23-2008, 01:11 AM

wow, thanks everyone for your advice! I think, since i have a 901 and have had problems with it (atomizers---on the 3rd after just 2 1/2 wks)...
Santa is going to get me a KissBox! And SOOT, I should have said "Mercedes Benz"....

Yawl are so knowledgable. Thanks again, and I will keep reading for further confusion and decision-making.
