901 or 510 as my first e-cig?

[jakobtennismb]

I've narrowed down my first e-cig choice to the 901 or the 510.
The things that I would prefer in an e-cig:

BETTER with fruity and food flavors (strawberry, chocolate) rather than tabacco, menthol, etc.

Can withstand about 2 hours of puffing a day for quite some time.

I don't care at all about throat hit.

Decent amount of vapor.

Decently cheap is nice anyone know cheap starter kits of each, also?
Thanks.

I'm a fan of the 510. It's not let me down.

im a 510 guy, but if you dont care about the th. hit, and you want to really taste the flavors... go with the 901.

give it time! youll get it!

I have had both a 901 and a 510 and I hands down recommend the 510 with manual batteries and cartomizers. Cignot has about the cheapest starter kits around and they are well known for excellent customer service. For the cartomizers I would look at the SLB cartomizers at litecigusa. For top (and I mean top!) quality juice Mrs T and Tastyvapor are excellent vendors.

I recommend cartomizers to start out with simply for the ease of use. The learning curve to vaping effectively can be steep and I personally would hate to see a first time vapor turned off simply because they had issues with cartridges or atomizers.

510 no box kit from cignot 35.00
1 oz bottle of juice from TV 15.00
5 cartomizers from litecigusa 7.95
shipping it all about 10 to 12 bucks

You might want to check PureSmoker's great sale price on the eGo, which is basically a 510 with a bigger battery and tons of battery life.

You sound like me.

901

I recommend using 808 batteries with the 901 since they are very compatible and the batteries themselves have a longer lasting charge compared to 901/510 batts for a similar price. Plus you can easily try 808 cartos if you like.

If I was starting out again, I'd tell me to get 1 manual and 1 auto 808 battery, a couple stock 901 atomizers, a couple low resistance 901 atomizers , 1 510 atomizer with an 808/901 to 510 adapter, 1 801 atomizer with an 808/901 to 801 adapter, a couple of small & cheap bottles of juice that sound tasty in a range of nicotine strengths, a 5 pack of flavored cartomizers with highish nicotine strength, 1 USB charger for the 808 +an AC to USB adapter and a couple cheapo drip tips. An optional but nice addition: 1 Personal Charging Case for the 808's.

With that setup you can go for the good flavor and solid vapor of the 901/901LR and also try out the 510/801 attys plus 808 cartos, experience the difference between manual & auto batteries and have plenty of juices to both try out and tide you over before you check out some of the better juice suppliers out there. The PCC isn't totally necessary but it is very nice when you are out and about during the day and night while trying to quit cigarettes. If I skipped the PCC I'd get a case that holds 808 Batts/cartos instead.

It'd be a few bucks more up front, especially if you go with a US based reseller, but if you order from China and can wait a week or two the price wouldn't be too awful. For something like this I would order from Health Cabin or Heaven Gifts. Except for the Low Resistance 901's, for those I would go to IkenVape.

IMHO throat hit (overrated) has more to do with the strength, PG/VG makeup and flavoring components of the juice you vape than the atomizer design although atty choice does play a role.

I love to use 2.0 ohm resistance IkenVape 901's at 3.7 volts and stock (~3.4 ohm) 901's at 5 volts for what it is worth. 801's are interesting.

Just my

If i was to buy an eGo battery would it be compatible with my 510 charger/PT? Or would i need to buy a specific eGo charger?

You would need an eGo charger for $10.00 or the eG0 > 510 charger adapter that is $4.00

Jacob, based on the criteria that you listed I agree with everything Chingas suggested.
I started with the 901 and the 901 atomizer is far better for conveying flavor than the 510. The stock batteries for the 901 kinda suck (but then, so do the 510 stock batteries). The kr808 D-1 batteries are better and are compatible with 901 attys. I currently use 901 attys, 510 cartos and kr808 cartos on my mods. I've got some 510 attys but they don't get used because I can't really taste much through them. If you want good flavor go with the 901 for sure.
