I was in your shoes about a month ago. I wanted to quit for a long time, but couldnt give up the habit of having a cig in my mouth. I ended up ordering the Blu Premium 100 starter kit and hated it. The problem I found with Blu is that the battery dies within an hour, the cartos go bad quick and they cant be refilled. I recommend the Volt from Smokeless Image, that's where I ended up after wasting $180 on Blu (I am still waiting for my $90 refund). Heres why I recommend the Volt.
Like you, I knew I needed the look and feel of an analog. Let me start by saying that nothing is going to be the same weight of an analog, because of the battery, but you get used to it very quickly. But the VOlt will be very close to the size you are looking for. I will try and post a picture comparing for you if I can find it. I recommend you start with the Pro Starter Kit. That will give you 2 batteries, a personal charging case, a usb charger and a pack of cartomizers. That is enough to get you started. You can get that for $65 and there is a promo code "sivolt50" that will give you 15% off. They have 2 sizes, 65mm and 78 mm. the difference would equal a king size analog to a 100 analog. If you can handle the bigger, I recommend that, it lasts a lot longer. I made the mistake of wanting the smaller ones because it will fit in the pcc with a cartomizer attached, but now I dont care about that. I also recommend the mega pcc. It is the same price as the other one, but it holds a spare battery and 3 cartomizers. You might want to consider one of the batteries to be manual, but its up to you. I tell everyone to start with one of each to see what you like. The difference is with the automatic, you just inhale, and the manual, you press a small button.
Whats nice about the Volt is that the battery lasts a long time for a mini. On average, I get about 3 hours on a charge and I am a chain vaper. The cartos are about $9 for a pack of 5 before a coupon and realistically they are equal to about 1/2 to 3/4 of a pack of cigs, but it depends on the way you vape. You will get at least that. I go through about 2 to 3 a day but I am vaping about 5 times more than I ever smoked. I used to be a pack a day smoker of marlboro smooth. The nice thing about the Volt cartos is they can be refilled for as little as 20-30cents. They last a really long time. I have refilled most of mine at least 15 times. I have yet to have a burnt taste. That is something that is common to cartomizers when they get empty, but the volt has a different design, and most people do not experience that with them. I did have that problem with the Blu after only about 30 puffs and once you get that, the carto is shot, you can never get rid of that taste IMHO. If you are going to use a flavor from Smokeless Image, I suggest you buy a pack of their prefilled cartos with a bottle of their juice. There is no difference in price from the prefilled to the blanks so you end up getting 5 free ml. When they are empty, just refill them and save your blanks for other companies juices.
Lastly about the Volt. Their customer service is awesome. They generally ship the same day. I have placed 6 orders from them in the last 2 weeks and every one of them has been at my door within 3 days of ordering. The are very nice on the phone and take care of problems right away. I had something missing in my order, so when I called, they sent it out and a freebie for the trouble. It was at my door 2 days later. Also, they have a lot of contests and promos. For example, if you go to the smokeless image forum on here, they have a promotion that if you post a picture of yourself with your volt, they will send you a free battery, juice or pack of cartomizers. That is a great way to get a 3rd battery.
Alot of people on here are into larger PV and will recommend that, but even the veteran vapers will tell you if you are going to go with a mini, go with the Volt. IMHO they are the best mini out there.
I also forgot to mention, the nice thing about the volt is later down the line, you can get an x2 battery from them which is like the size of a cigar and the battery life is between 7 to 12 hours for continuous vaping. I know people who have been going 48 hours without recharging. They also have clearomizers. Both of these are interchangeable with their mini batteries and cartomizers.
I know this was a long post, but I hope it helps. DOnt give up, it does work. I know it sucks that their are no stores that sell the better products. I am in South Florida and I encountered the same thing. From what I understand though, the places that do carry stuff, sell it for much more than you pay online.
