Noob...which to get!?

[GoldenP51]

I was dead set on the Pilot, but now I'm looking at the Janty Dura...which one would you guys recommend to a new e-cig smoker? The choices are killing me!

Thanks again!

Ask me in a few more days . . . I have a Dura (which I ADORE), and I've ordered a Pilot, which should arrive Tuesday. I'm looking forward to doing a head-to-head comparison.

alr smoke will have the yeti go for that simialr to dura in every way minus logo and warranty length as well as price

My pentstyle is kicking my ass.

It takes some TLC, but it's a great unit.

They are both priced differently so you might want to take that to consideration. The Janty Dura is about $59 right now but it will revert back to more than $90 from what i've heard. As of now, the Janty website is listing $23.50 for 1 atomiser, which is ridiculous. No price for battery yet but i can only imagine it to be $30 for one based on the atomiser price. There is still no sign of parts prices on altsmoke but since they are being "forced" to sell at the same price, it shouldn't differ much.

As batteries and atomisers will fail after time, it will be expensive to purchase parts for the Dura, which might be the strategy to begin with. Probably not a wise choice for a noob like you say you are.

Take Puresmoker or Absolutelyecigs as a contrast to the above. Stater kits sells at $50 and $40 respectively. Atomiser sells at $11 and $8 respectively. Battery sells at $16 and $12 respectively and carts at only $4 for a pack of 5. This makes for a much more affordable vaping habit for a noob. You can basically get 3 atomisers from Absolutelyecigs for the price of 1 Dura atomiser.

Both are great units although i do not own a Dura. Therefore, I am only analysing the cost factor in this discussion. Hope this helps.

Well that makes it a much easier choice for me lol 23.50 for an atomizer?

I figure I will probably break a few of these in the learning process lol

You should take my advice with a grain of salt and do some further research as I clearly do not own a Dura. Who knows, the Dura might be 3 times better than the M401/ Pilot that it is worth that kinda investment.

Again, my opinions are purely based on cost, as i am known around here for being a cheapskate.

They should give me a title for Forum Cheapo or Cheap Guru or something. LOL

LOL...good point, I will read more reviews...waiting to hear more on the Pilot as more people get it. I like cheap though and the puresmoker guys have been really cool in (my annoying) PMs I've sent, either way I am buying liquid from them at the least

In my opinion, Puresmoker is a great supplier and almost no one has ever complained about them. If you are in the US, i highly recommend them because Steve has been really cool to me as well.

If you like cheap, like myself and plan to buy from absolutelyecigs, only do so if you are willing to wait a little and possibly stock up a little (atomiser, batteries, carts etc)to make the shipping worthwhile cos its flat at $15 no matter how much u buy. Again, a cheapness factor LOL...

I ordered my first ecig yesterday. I wanted the Pilot, but PureSmoker was out of stock (on a LOT of things I wanted). I ended up ordering a DSE901 from Lite-Cig, along with some cartridges, and extra atomizers and smoke juice from PureSmoker.

I hope to be ordering everything from PureSmoker from here, if they can remain stocked.
