Background... 2 Years ago I used Greensmoke to help quit Analog Cloves. I got addicted to cloves recently and, to quit, pulled out my old Greensmoke collection. I ordered new Cartridges from them but they are no longer easily refillable (they glued the caps down). So I decided to look at new options...

My primary goals are:
1 - Pocketable (I can fit long greensmokes with no problems)
2 - Growable\Modable and can buy parts easily (extra cartridges, batteries, etc.)
3 - I'm sick of frequent charging and dripping with greensmoke

What would people recommend? I'm willing to spend money as long as it's worth the cost.

I've been researching the eGo selection on E-Liquid and Electronic Cigarette Shop - Category Listings but am a little confused on what I should get: eGo, eGo-T, eGo-C, Low Resistance, Bogos, etc.

If my understanding is correct, an eGo Kit and Bogos would be comparable to what I do with greensmoke (Charging and Dripping, etc.). Should I get a Drip Tip (or 2)?

Thanks In Advance

If you are going to spend the money on an eGo, purchase a real JoyeTech ego. Do not get a Tank system as they do not get good reviews over all and not going to solved your pocket the pv and go. Most eGo's come with atomizers. Order a package of cartomizers 510 to go with the Ego, some juice and a few drip trips. You should be good to go. My 650maH ego will last 4-6 hrs on a one charge, they are small and fit in my pocket.

If you want a nice little analog style e-cig my friends are liking their Smoov (smoovcigs.com) some are getting 5.5 hrs of vape time, they are small and have sealed batteries, two piece, cartomizers are empty so you need juice when ordering.
They also have a pass thru ...and Smoov's are 808's.

My first suggestion is an eGo kit. E-Liquid and Electronic Cigarette Shop - Category Listings

My second suggestion is a Reo Mini from reosmods.com. It's all mechanical, vapes at a true 3.7V, and is a bottom feeder. Oh, and yes, it's pocket friendly. I don't know if that is something that would interest you but it could be the last PV that you ever buy. Just thought I would throw it out there to consider.

I started out with a Riva 510SE kit from Liberty Flights and couldn't be happier. The 510s are very popular so there's plenty of options. A battery charge lasts me a full day easily even on my heaviest days and 3 clicks of the button disables it so it won't go off in your pocket. I'm still using the cartridges that came with it and filling a few times a day, but some cartomizers will let you go longer between fills.

Are You saying the ones on E-Liquid and Electronic Cigarette Shop - Category Listings are knock offs? I guess I don't understand why you're saying to get a "real" one otherwise.

@Hairball
I've started looking at Reo's and Provari, etc. but I'm concerned about redundancy and when I'm out of batteries. I guess people charge the batteries outside of the units and swap them in if needed. From my greensmoke experience, I charge multiple sticks at the same time. If one stick dies, I have others to cover.

@Hairball
How hard is it to swap eliquid with the Reo Mini? NVM, saw it on YouTube. Just swap out the bottle.

If ya want a real vape get yourself a Darwin or Provari, if ya want a bottom feeder Reo Mini or grand ( suggest the Grand ) 18650 Batts last long, but size wise a Mini is super with an HH-357 Atty 1.5ohm a top of her. Ego's and mini stick Batts are just bla dul vapes, if ya do go with an Ego grab some good LR Atty's like the 357's or Ikenvape i06 Atty's and cary both Batts set up and rotate, as long as you dont chain vape and over heat them they will last, Batts are cheap,,,I've been doing this for a couple of years, people that burn them up with LR'S because they chain vape them and over heat them, Cartos = paper taste Atty's dont, experiment, it cost a little to do so but you find what you like best and end up with a good vape, peoples advice is good to here but until you experiment with a few different types of units you will never know, I've got over 200 PV's,,, my vote is Darwin and for bottom feeder Reo. small small Real Ego 1000mA + good LR Atty, my 2C

Thanks for the excellent answer. I appreciate the feedback about the atomizers as I would've just bought the stock ones that come with whatever system I buy. I'm actually worried if I bought a Reo Mini or a Tank system I would chain vape. :)

I found a way to get the new greensmoke cartridges (flavormax) open so there is no longer a rush to get a new system.
