........... account gone, e-cig finally died, need help choosing!

[Effex]

Well, it's been a while since I've last posted here. I used to be a pretty active member under the name Effex.. Been a few years and now I can't retrieve my account info.. Strange..

It's been a long while since I've been in the market for an e-cig kit. I remember Puresmoker, TW, and Janty being some of top dogs a while back, I'm not sure if this is still the case or not, but I do see a plethora of new retailers up and running. But not only that, but the amount of new e-cig models that have come out in the past 2 years is crazy.

But to the point - I would most appreciate any help in finding a new device for me. I have been using a Titan for about 2 years now, and ran through about 10 atomizers and 3 batteries for it since it's been introduced to the market, and am definitely ready to hold something new.

I am sure there have been atleast a handful of devices that have come out that rival the titan (or 510 i believe it is) in the past year or 2, and what I am mainly looking for is:

-Solid, strong, all day vape
-Battery life of at least 8 hours
-reliable atomizers

It would be a huge bonus if the same site also sells good quality e-juice.

Any links, brand names, retailers, etc.. would be of great help and appreciation.

Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty new to this, so did lots of research, and it seems the the EGO and the Riva are very popular. I had a regular 510, similar to the Titan I think and have now 'upgraded' to the Riva and must say I am very impressed. Battery life was the reason for the change and the Riva should make the 8 hours you require. Consistent hits, I am using clearomizers, and Liberty Flights are selling a 'Riva Lite' starter kit for $30, which seemed too good a deal to pass up. 2 attys included, and 10 blank carts. Discount Code - ECF - will bring it down to that price. They also offer the EGO, a few bucks more, and a very similar device. The 510 models seem quite interchangeable with parts etc so your old atty's, if you still have any, will work on those too.

If you've been using the Titan, you may want to look into the Tornado. It's made by the same people and the parts are compatible. However the battery life is longer and stronger. They also sell cartomizers that fit the batteries. I like the big ones.

If you are interested in even more extended battery life, there are miltple types of mods out there. A great place to pick one up is the classys. You can get something at a cheaper price and sometimes the warrenty will even extend to the new owner.
Anyhoo. Welcome back.

You might look into the Reo family. The Grand and Woodvils both use 18650 batteries and will give you more than a day of vaping on a single battery, with 6ml of liquid bottom-fed to a 510 or 801. The Mini uses 14500 batteries and a 3ml juice bottle. I've found that I need to swap my 600mAh IMR batteries every 4-5 hours, but it's trivial to carry a second battery with me. Much easier than carrying a PCC or a second eGo battery.

 

[dormouse]

Riva 510 and Ego are 6-8 hour fat 510's and longer batteries are available for one or both

 

[Sally23]

Is Dere any one selling here ? Am veri keen an would lik to get few at a time. Pls help an advise !

Vendors have separate forums. You can look in classifieds.

Sam132 you can't go wrong with a Riva kit and it'll fit everything you have for that Titan. Liberty Flights is out of them but, the starter kit is available at litecig.

I will suggest that you look into the X-Power 900 (it comes in both Cartomizer and Atomizer/Cartridge version).
It uses the 301 atomizer which is not a common format yet, but the cartridges can easily hold over 1 ml of juice, and the cartos are close to 2 ml.
I got my new one 2 days ago (I lost the 1st one and kicked myself for it for close to a month while they were backorder) and having had to try out various other types while waiting, I can definitely vouch for the fact that it makes vaping quite enjoyable to not have to switch out batteries or refill carts every few hours. I like the 510s I got from TW and I will keep using them on "social" occasions where a big batt is not as inconspicuous, but for work in front of the computer or when at home (or in VERY LONG tedious meeting anywhere) nothing beats my X-Power for the amount of vapour and the fact that the battery last me for a day and a half easily and I only need to carry a spare cartridge/cartomizer if I leave for MORE than 8 hours.

 

[toddos]

I'd be wary of non-standard connection types. If it's not a 510/306 or a 808/901, it better be an 801 or you're going to have a difficult time finding replacement parts. If the main draw for the X-Power is longer battery life, I'd recommend a 1100mAh eGo-T battery or 1300mAh Riva.

Haven't figured out the quote thing

I've seen this a few times this evening, Liberty Flights are showing 154 in stock on the Riva 510 Lite Kit at $37.49, unless I am looking at the wrong thing..... which is entirely possible

I ordered a couple of days ago and am loving it!!!!

 

[Effex]

Thanks for the information ya'll, I appreciate it.

I am actually really considering the GLV-2 5v device with some low resistance cartomizers.

Anyone with any experience with these?

Also, I understand that each individual piece is custom made? How long is the production time on these? Would be awesome to get something by this Thurs. or Fri... But not sure if that is possible with a GLV device..

Thanks again.

 

[toddos]

You don't want to use LR cartos or atties on a 5V device. Low resistance is to get that 5V or 6V feel from a 3.2V or 3.7V battery. Instead, you should be using HV (high voltage) cartos or atties if you're going to vape at 5V or 6V.

The go-go looks quite promising. I have one on order. The convenience of cartos coupled with 3ml juice capacity and 1300 mAh batteries that peak at around 4.3 VDC. That should hold you for eight hours!

Edit: +1 on not using LR attys on anything higher than 3.7v. I've blown several LR 901 attys just on a peaked 18650 battery (4.2 VDC).

 

[Secti0n31]

Can't go wrong with the 1000mAh ego or ego-t. cignot.com has them. You can also get ego/riva passthroughs so that you can vape while still plugged into a usb or computer.
I'm looking into a GLV 5v myself and I was told to use regular attys with it, something in the 2.2-2.6ohm range, but it's a lot of money so I'm shopping around.
For the price, I'd get an ego or ego-t kit. It's 510 compatible and the 650mah regular ego battery lasts me about 6 hours. I use it with Bauway LR and regular attys or ce2 cartos. I've heard some good things and some bad things about the ego-t-tank system, but if you don't like it, just use regular 510 stuff.
DO NOT buy anything thats not a 510/306 or 808/901 because products come and go, and it's not easy to find replacement parts for uncommon threads and connectors

I actually just finished placing an order on Liberty Flights for a very similar setup that you described.

For $110, I re-upped on 60ml of 24mg juce, 2x 1k mah bat.'s, 5pack of 510 LR atty's, a stand-alone cone, and a rapid charger.

Not too shabby IMO.


Oh and considering I've been using an oldschool 135-150mah (?) bat for months and months, I think this leap to a 1k battery will be great. I find myself giddier than a schoolgirl atm.

I wouldn't have made my decision by tonight if it weren't for your help, so thanks again everyone.

Did you got to Nhaler and look at the Go Go? You can get up to two days on one battery! The carts hold 3ml of juice and the taste is amazing....60 bucks for your own little piece of heaven!

 

[Effex]

Yea I checked out a handful of devices, and was honestly considering the GLV-2 more than anything else. The Go-go seemed solid but I am just not a big fan of carts in general. I drip directly into atty's w/ empty carts, so that whole thing wasn't too appealing to me.

The 5v GLV-2 is an awesome device but as toddos said, you'll want standard resistance or high voltage atties/cartos (I've had great luck with SR Boge soft-tip cartos from PureSMoker). LRs are unnecessary and could be problematic.

Under perfect circumstances, since each device is made-to-order you're looking at a minimum seven to ten day wait. It's unlikely you'd get one by Thursday or Friday but it's well worth the wait.

This order should keep you for a while....
You could then use the gained time to drool over the Mods database and plan any new investments in due time....
I don't know who's behind the database, but it's seems objective and factual, so Kudos to the guys there.
