Thinking of trying thr E-Cigar for more hit? - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

I'm currently using the DS901 which I'm pretty happy with but as I have now given up using real cigarettes completely I would like something with more of a hit. From what I've read on this great forum the e-cigar has more of a throat hit (just what I'm looking for) but I would like to know a few things.
Firstly what is the lifespan of the e-cigar, in terms of the battery and atomizer, which unlike e-cigs cannot be replaced as it's all one unit? Also can you use e-liquid to recharge the cartridges? Lastly, does the e-cigar need cleaning like the e-cig does to get the brown gunk out?
Thanks.

Yes, yes and yes. The e-cigar is fine, but throat hit and nic hit are very different things. If you want to cough every time you inhale, order a bottle of Janty's Heavy Shag. It used to be called Cigar. It will provide the throat hit I never want. If you want nic hit, good luck. Just get the highest level and keep vaping non-stop.

To be honest it's the hit of a real cigarette that I need more than the nicotine.

btw yes doesn't answer my lifespan question lol

That's such a variable that no one can provide exact times. Yes, the atomizer will die. It will last longer than those in e-cigs, however. Maybe three months. I've used three brands of e-cigars. Loved them -- right up to the death of each.

Might as well accept them for what they are: disposable.

We're all disposable. Even the sun'll give up vapin' one day

Three months average, I guess I'll have to do some sums and see if that's affordable. Maybe I'll stick with the Ds901 and look for the stronger liquid.

Have you considered the screwdriver? It's a powerhitter....not for the faint of heart though!

I'd have a go at the Intellicig Evolution. Good long battery life and great vapour. If you go down the cigar route then the Golden Shimmer is imho great.

The Evo sounds good, only my Ds901 supplier gives me a great bulk deal on atomizers - 5 for 20 quid, plus free P&P, I'd be paying close to 40 quid for 5 Evo atomizers. I'll stick with the 901 for now and see how long these 5 atomizers last.
The golden shimmer looks good too, thanks for the info.

No problem. Just out of interest my Evo atomisers have lasted over a month now - none have failed or shown any signs of going wimpy. Worth bearing in mind, perhaps.
