Newbie here, my situation so far.

[camoruin]

Hey guys,

Im a newbie e-cig smoker. A kiosk in the local mall had it, and I gave it a shot. I got home and did some research, and found this site among some others. (e-cigreview .com). I have some questions, was hoping you might be able to help out.

I currently have what I think is this e-cig model ->

e-cigs.co.uk/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5&products_ id=52&zenid=t6vg006p1u8f9nnj0il31rs8m7.

That image is the box I purchased recently. Im guessing it's a RN4081 - "Super Cigarette" on the box.

I have been using it the last couple days, but am having some issues. I am a current smoker of "little cigars" - cigarette shaped smokes with a filter, but with cigar tobacco. I inhale like a cigarette and all. So it's a heavy smoke. So far, using this model, no matter what I do, I can't get a satisfying drag out of the thing. If I do a new battery and cartridge, the first drag or 2 is somewhat close. But after that, Im getting low level vapor until I just give up.

On top of this, over the last hour or so, every strong drag I take triggers the tip to blink 9 times, and won't work for a while each time that happens. Plus, when I do get it to fire up, I hear a sizzling sound. So something's not working right.

I really just want to be able to pick the thing up, drag, get good smoke, put it down. This learning curve is killing it so far.

I was wondering if there was ANY model out there that can give a powerful, continuous vapor. For the length of at least a normal cigarette smoking session. So I feel like Im inhaling lets say a Marlboro Red x 3 or something. My smokes aren't that diesel, but I'm trying to get across it's gotta be heavy

I work on the web, at home, and smoke all day, especially when I work. So I need something that can replace that, and not have me fidgeting while I'm working, distracting me because it isn't satisfying. Something that won't give out after a week or 2, and will be able to be picked up and used every 20 minutes or so.

At this point, don't really care about the size class, if the bigger models pack a better punch, I'd go with one of them. Though, the cigarette shape of this one is good if I had a magic wand.

On top of that, I am using the Marl High cartridges. I think at least to start, I'd like something with a bit more nicotine in it. Is there anything out there that can deilver that, juice wise? Or possibly, if I had a unit with better vapor kick, those might work. Can't tell.

So that's about it. Thanks for reading. If you could help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

I'm sure someone with more experience will soon chip in but until then..

The 901 seems to be described around here as "a good workhorse" with good vapour output. Combine this with juice and I'm sure you would be getting closer to the hit your looking for.

Add in the USB cable and your sorted at your pc with no battery issues to slow your vaping down.

If you want a real workhorse, sounds like you might be interested in Trog's screwdriver. If you go to ebay and punch in screwdriver electronic cigarette, you should see it (I don't know any other way to get there). Then you can look at his forum and see what you think. Has lots of answers there. They seem to work for the heavier smokers. It might at least be worth a look.

Good luck!

BTW....where are you located?

I saw the Screwdriver. In theory, Id like to roll with it. But I just dropped 150+ on this starter kit and some extra stuff, (much cheaper online, but was an impulse buy, and hey, that guy's gotta pay mall rent ). So I don't want to rush into another 150-200 dollar investment for something that isn't going to work as I need it. That's why I signed up here, to see what some regulars think first.

So yeah, heavy smoker, need the throat hit and high nicotine. Battery, swapping, charging, not an issue for the most part.

Located in Philly.

Well I'm a heavy smoker and I got the penstyle (801). Because it's bigger than the 901 or the peewee, the batteries last longer and the carts hold more juice. I really eyed the screwdriver because I vape a lot but like you, it is just out of my price range right now. The pen is good....I'm just not a fan of battery swapping and charging much.

Oh....and if you're on a computer a lot....the usb pen might work for you. I know they carry them at puresmoker.com but they seem to be out of them at the moment.

Buying a penstyle or screwdriver is about the only good advice that can be given here

The super-mini will never provide the satisfaction you're after.

My Janty Kissbox has a very efficient atomiser, it produces good vapour and hit. It's not good for me with cartridges though but dripping is great.

What exactly produces the throat hit?

Throat hit

E-smoking 'hit', carts and liquids.

[camoruin]

Thanks for the input guys and gals, and the links Kate. Anyone else want to chime in before I try round 2?

[ZambucaLu]

Well did you decide on something?

Im looking at the pen (not sure which one) and/or the Screwdriver. Not sure about the SD because it seems to be new. Ive been checking some youtube vids and overall more research, so just going to keep doing that.

Also of note, Ive figured something out, in case another newbie reads this.

My problem so far is that I don't drag "long" on my cigarettes. If you notice in almost all the videos of anyone e-smoking, they drag hard, long on it. Like smoking weed or a crack pipe or something. Taking a small, 1 second light drag doesn't produce much of a result. And that's how I normally smoke regular cigs, quick small hits. They are strong, so that's all I need. But doesn't work with these and it's off-putting.

I can change that, and since Ive focused on doing so, the smoke has been better. But I still need a better unit I think. More vapor, more consistent, and stronger juice.
