Liberate - From looking at your site the mini that you sell is a 901 correct? Do you have some sort of new battery for the 901 that none of the other suppliers have? I have been vaping for 6 weeks now with a 901 and rotate between 4 batteries, each of which lasts me 30 mins to an hour now. After the first full charge when i bought them 6 weeks ago they lasted about 4 hours. If it is a 901 and you don't have some hot new batteries that we don't know about then I feel that your misrepresentation to a new user on this forum is well....crappy. If that's the case you're really giving the other suppliers around here a bad name as so many of them work very hard to represent their products fairly and honestly. It is this kind of thing that will drive away users rather than pull them in.

Now, all that being said...if this isn't a 901 or some other common e-cig or if you do have some sort of new technology then I profusely apologize and retract any statements.

Wow, are you guys serious? I have even brought my mini (yes, a 901) to parties, had other people constantly using it, and still managed to use it (albeit briefly) the next day. I have had similar luck with my Jr's.. Maybe I just got some gifted batteries? Or perhaps I don't vape as much as I think I do..

I guess if someone was doing double the vaping, they would get half the battery life.. I am just giving my personal experience. I would welcome anyone in the area to spend a day with me to see that I am speaking truthfully.. and if you look at any of my other posts here, you will see that I am an honest person.

I would say you're vaping pretty lightly, because a 901 battery is good for about 7 cigarettes worth or so.

That makes me feel a whole lot better.. haha. I was thinking that if anything, I now vape more often than I used to "smoke" analogs.. and I was at about a pack and a half per day. I would say that IMO, it does last longer than 7 analogs.. But there are some people that are getting 30 min from their batts here.. maybe I am just a lucky one? I switched over to my Jr. about a month ago, and that was only because my 901 batts died on me. One met an unfortunate demise in the sink, and something wacky went wrong with the other one.

Well said mate

1. You really need to quit inhaling cigarettes. You will see a near-immediate improvement in lung function. And it sounds as if you have a genetic proclivity to COPD. My God, stop smoking!

2. Cheap will not be cheap in the long run. Follow the advice here and get a 901 or quality pen style. Forget the stupid "bling" aspect of e-smoking, unless you're the type who intends to marry a woman solely on the basis of her physical beauty. Very shallow. Find quality and embrace it. In people, in products.

3. A charged battery lasts me about two hours; four if I don't use it quite so often. No e-cig battery I've encountered lasts all day. E-pipe, yes. E-cig, are you kidding?

4. Maintainance is a very big deal. These aren't light 'em and toss 'em devices. Get ready to commit to a new way of getting your fix.

5. Read everything in the alternatives to cigarettes part of this forum, and see if other nicotine methods can supplement e-smoking. Personally, I use them all.

thanks everyone for your concern about my health, right now I'm on the lozenges and its helping somewhat. but it really doesn't help with the habit, I was thinking I can stick to my lozenges and smoke the zero nicotine juice. I really want to get my girlfriend and my friends to quit as well. I putting my purchase on priority but I am still shopping around. Right now its a toss up between puresmoker and liberate's website. And to liberate: your section on ordering extra parts seems to be down I was wondering what is your price for an extra atomizer for the penstyle I am thinking I'm gonna need that extra battery life. If anyone wants to throw in any words of wisdom please do, I really appreciate it!

I would suggest going with a supplier that has a long and strong reputation. Read the reviews, if they have any. Also price is a consideration. The best would be a great proven reputation at a less expensive price. Lucky for you that option does exist. I cannot vouch for Liberate since I have not ordered there. However I can highly recommend PureSmoker. Hope that helps.

Ainako: Virtually everything offered as NRT has a real-world tobacco counterpart. If lozenges work well for you, then Stonewall dissolvable tobacco bits are right up your alley. They work exactly the same way, at the same nicotine strength.

I use the Java flavor and order them in bulk. A Stonewall is the FIRST thing I do each morning, even before reaching for my e-cig. Each tablet has 4mg of nicotine. Given the rate at which it dissolves and is absorbed, this is like two or three cigs an hour. Very close to real experiences with cigarettes in terms of your nicotine blood level. Need more nicotine? Dissolve two at a time. But be careful not to overdose.

The pricing is not even close. Stonewall is much, much cheaper. And note that America's Big Tobacco will offer its own branded variety of dissolvables after the 1st of the year. A flood of tobacco-based alternatives to cigarettes is coming to market then. They're inexpensive -- and effective.

Good luck with e-smoking. I wouldn't part with my e-smoking devices, though. I just need to supplement what they do.

a 901 or mini type battery has a real life run time of around ten minutes..

ten minutes.. count your actual puffing time in seconds... divide each puff into ten minutes..

this is hard fact stuff not pot luck guess work.. as i said earlier it can all be worked out..

leaford i think uses five seconds puffs..

and this is with a brand new battery.. so in the real world two puffs per hour might last two days.. four puffs per hour might last one day..

80 puffs per hour might last one hour.. it can all be worked out...

and nobody has a magic battery.. they are all roughly the same.. perhaps a 20% variation between the best and the worse of a given size...

there is no need to use vagaries like "in my experience"... or magic batteries.. its all there for those that want to look for it..
