Noob questions/Apollo Questions

[420bot]

Hey guys,
I'm looking for some opinions on my selection of my first e-cig. I'll start with what I'm looking for.

A device with:
-The size of a regular smoke
-Does not look like a regular smoke (black w/blue LED) so I can avoid unecissary hassles indoors
-Good flavours (carts not drip)
-Something as close to retaining the feel of a analog during inhalation (Throat hit?) within these parameters

I smoke about 8-12 analogs a day (1.3-2.8mg of nic each)

My research has pointed me towards the apollo standard kit. I like the look and it's just at my price point. What are peoples thoughts on the apollo products? What other suggestions would you make based on what I want?

Also what is you opinion/prefrence between apollo and bloog?
Thanks in advance

Rule of Thumb: the more it looks like the real thing, the worse the performance.

I guess between those two, I would go with the Bloog.

I have a friend who has the apollo and she loves it. She also got alot of great help from them
via the phone when she was having some minor issues using it at first.
No first hand experience...just second hand and all I have heard was good.

With Apollo, you are stuck with their proprietary equipment. At their mercy, so to say. Bloog will interact with most KR808 equipment out there. A little more choices there. Do your homework and spend your money wisely, there are hundreds of ecig sites and models out there, i would only recommend ECF registered suppliers where they are here on this site with customer service as well as their website. You work hard for your money and hope you find what you are looking for

What is the Apollo compatible with? Are replacement parts available from other vendors, or are you stuck with using Apollo?

The Bloog is a KR808D-1, and supplies are available from many vendors.

I'm sure someone will know what the Apollo is, and will answer the questions.

I asked a rep today (who by the way, totally lived up to their reputation of great customer service) and he said they are incompatible with anything other than apollo.

does anyone have any experience with apollos different flavours? I notice bloog has quite a few more flavours available, along with more customization (colours/drip tips) but is a little more expensive with the kit.

PS RIP Steve Jobs, terrible news

Well new to vaping too, I love it. There are alot of brands that meet your criteria. In my opinion take it for what it worth any brand that lock me into there stuff probably isnt gonna get my business....I like to mix things up and try my own. I hear alot about the bloog which is alot like what I got with interchangeable parts. And so far this has been pretty easy going. Another brand you may want to check out would be smokelessimage. Thats what I went with and so far has been great. I am sure alot of the regulars will be able to put in more info. Good luck.

Quoting myself: I guess ya'll don't read b4 you post.

Anyhow , my 2 bits. I had a Apollo disposable (for a 77 cents promo sale), tobacco flavor was horrible. This was over a year ago and possibly just a run of bad juice. Whatever. I personally would stay away from them with what i know is available on the open ecig market. There just is so much better than that IMO.

There is also the Volt. It is the exact same as the bloog but cheaper. Why get something you can only get parts for at one place. If they close up you are screwed. Volt/bloog parts available all over

how about smokeless image volt? anyone have experience with that? Flavours ok?

 

[drac]

A lot of people like the Volt for a starter. Your flavor is going to come from your juice and what you use to deliver it( atomizer,cartomizer,dripping, carto tank etc) Of course as a rule the bigger the battery the bigger the hit. That is why most jump to a manual Ego. I see you are from Canada After you get your five post count and 1 hour has passed head to the Canada Forum. You will be able to see where we get our supplies

Here is their official thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...87974-official-smokelessimage-com-thread.html they may have current coupon codes also !

I bought the Halo G6 kit for my GF couple months back. Some people say they are pretty similar. And Halo flavors are excellent. I think the G6 is a few bucks more (maybe?) The volt charges extra 1.00 for each 78mm battery. That's where they "Git Cha"

EVAPE10 still works for 10%off. Or you may find a better one on the SI thread. A 2 battery kit will run you $46.95 US with the code and shipping ($5.01 INT) Hope this helps ya

 

[420bot]

anyone know if you can get the small Volt PCC anywhere other than SI. They only have the mega in stock and it seems a bit bulky

Bloogplanet Maxxfusion, SmokelessImage Volt and Halocigs G6 are all the same thing, can use each others cartos and also use the Vapor4Life cartos (more prefilled flavors than any of the above) and they all have blank cartos and can use other blank KR808D-1 cartos 2.5-3 ohms and use any juice that is thin enough to work well in cartos which means hundreds of juices. That has to be enough flavors for you.

In addition, on a manual battery you can use a standard resistance DSE901 atomizer and drip tip to test juices (drip tip not recommended on auto batteries but you could use DSE901 cartridges).

Ya I canceled my Apollo and I'm going to go with the SI volt, more flavours and I'm only paying $67 on a standard kit USB passthrough, and 2 extra packs of cartos. Now I need to find a PPC that fits, their out of stock on their new mini PPC. Any suggestions?

 

[dormouse]

Check Bloogplanet and Halocigs G6 accessories (the same exact kind of KR808D-1). The more standard manufacturer PCC like Vapor4Life supposedly does not charge the Volt/Bloog/G6 fully.

Suggestion: buy eliquid to refill your carto's. They can get a bit expensive if you don't refill.
