    Hello everyone! :-) been E-smoking for a couple weeks and was reading these forums so I thought I would join. Now Im kinda new to this so bare with me, Im not really liking the battery life on these things. Is there a better alternative? And I know these atomizers dont last forever but is there company who sells them at a decent price, like $20 or something, ive been to a couple sites where there like 30-45. All help will be appreciated.

    i think you got to throw down at least $50 to start you off if you want anything decent i'm afraid martianman, but it's going to pay for itself with the money saved on tobacco in a little while. at least it does me.

    Are you talking about the price of atomisers or kits? Atomisers you get get from say $8-$10.

    As for battery-life, check out Puresmoker's new USB-batteries! I just got one and am enjoying it. At least when you're at a computer you don't need to worry about battery life.

    sorry martianman, i totally misread your question. $50 would be crazy money to pay for an att or a batt and there are probably only a couple of spammy companies that sell them for that price in the states. where were you looking ?

    as nakli mentioned. generic attz should go for around $8 - $15 i think in the states but i'm not sure. batts too. and yeah check out those usb batts or some of the threads around here that talk about hooking up a larger external power source. also check out Trog's screwdriver.

    Are you talking about $20 atomizers? or full kits?

    $20 atomizers is a bit high,even for the expencive ones.
    I have seen them for as low as ten bucks each.

    Over all the battery life is what it is. The only thing you can do about that is get a larger type of E-Cig, like a Pen, or Pipe, or Cigar which have larger batteries.
    You could make your own battery pack, like the Magnum or a USB mod or USB battery pack mod pretty Cheap, but those are about the only options for better battery life.
    The Battery tech is just not there, and the Nuclear Batterys were never approved because the public is just to stupid to use them (there really is such a thing)

    They do make Disposable cigars and Smokes, but for the prices, i dont think they are worth it yet. They are from 18-28 bucks each.
    The newer Mini/Female pipe battery looks promising, but its still real new, dont know if it will be any better use time then the normal batteries.

    A Starter kit Can be had for 30+ dollars or as low as 15, but normally, you get what you pay for with these, with VERY few exceptions, or unless you can find a real good Ebay deal on a 901 or Pen.

    In the US, you shouldn't pay more than:
    Atomisers: $8-$10 (depending on the shop and style of ecig)
    Batteries: $13-$15

    Of the major US suppliers, I think Litecigusa had the best deals on starter kits, but they're out of stock of a lot of things right now. Puresmoker also has good prices on starter kits, and so do some of the other shops.

    Figure around $50 for a starter kit, but you'll probably want to buy some juice too, and an extra atomiser or two and extra battery or two.

    if its REAL cheap, it may have been a mistake, depends what kind you got.
    Generally, stay away from anything marked "Health Brand" or comes in its own cigarette pack looking thing.
