Best analog alternative?

[tstack77]

Great point about interchangeable parts if I go with the 510/eGo combo! Quick question on that though, what do the numbers in 510, 808, 910, etc, signify?

Thanks again for all the great recommendations!

I recently got a setup from VaporSmiths and find it very easy to use and good vapor. I had never tried the 808's before and like this even though I still use all my other 510 products. I also ordered some adapters so I can mix and match products. I will try to put in link.

The battery type. You can purchase adaptors but I like how the parts are interchangeable. The battery charer is not. And the LR cartomizers aren't recommended on a 510. Just standard resistance cartomizers.

I never liked the tip heavy 510.
Not good for hands free and batt life not good.

I liked the smaller lighter M-401 series w/ auto batt.
Very durable ecig.
Used this one exclusively for over a year.
Great for hands free.
Direct drip through cut mouth piece.
Batt life is good; I only used 3-4 batts a day.
Tuff draw was my main complaint.

joye 306 atty is great.
Nice light draw.
I would look into joye 306 if I were in the market.

I use 12mg w/ my mods but use 24mg w/ analog size ecigs.

I am awaiting a eGo that arrives Monday, but would love to find the best analog loo-a-like. My wife likes to smoke socially and would love to introduce her with somehting that at the least resembles a real cigarette. I thought this would be an easy post to find here, but it seems that all analog replicas are quickly dismissed.

I know all the batteries will suck, but are there any that are at least quality in terms of the vape?

Thanks

EDIT: Just read the Wonderful World of Vaping (I know, I know...too late). Seems like the best of 2009 was the Joye 510. Does this still stand?

I guess someone really needs to update that.

510 is probably the most popular but I would recommend the eGo.

I haven't personally used it, but the Volt has a ton of great reviews.

I know they are not very popular, and I gave them away to someone who was curious about ecigs: Blu

They are great because:
1- The PCC is the size and feel of your traditional pack of cigarettes (and looks better )
2- The batts are small giving the same feel as a cigarette. Just a bit heavier (later, she will get sick of the short battery life, but that's later...)
3- The batts are automatic. Lousy for a veteran, great for a beginner.
4- The cartos are OK.

If I hadn't had the Blu, I don't think I would have made the transition to vaping. I had to make my mistakes, and I still think that this one was a good transition.

Bloog 808d... The cartos are the best as well--for refills.

If you want to buy something inexpensive that works well you might consider the FS 510 kits (Joye clone) that myPVshop.com sells. I won one of these kits in one of Randall's contests and gave it to my wife and it works very well and she likes it. You can get it with either automatic batteries or manual or a combination of the two in several colors. The best thing is that it's 510 threaded so if she decides e-cigs aren't for her you can use the atomizers and carts on your eGo. The kit is only $19.79 +shipping when you use the code ECF10.

JSYK - These kits have a 5 second cut off. Perhaps ok for some people but I have been known to take a hit longer than 5 seconds.

A friend gave me his old 601and not sure if there bigger or smaller than 510 model. i compared to a cig and its really close. If this works for the next day and two i will buy ego. i have a joye ego-t waiting for me at a local shop. my friend has that and it works good.

I wanted the same look when I started vaping. A buddy told me to get a KR808D-1. I didn't and haven't looked back. It's just a little wider than an analog but the only battery(s) I've ever got were the 280 mAh. The ones they call shortys will probably be about the same length as a 100 analog, but the power wouldn't be that good so the amount of vaper and the flavor would lack some but it would still look like a regular cigarette.
Smoking isn't allowed in my apartment building and everyone I pass is always giving me the evil eye 'cuz they think I'm smoking a cigarette. So get her a KR808D-1 and she'll be happy.

Well, I prefer the Bloog over the Joye 510. Volt, Vapor King, Bloog, Halo Cigs are all basically the same device, i.e. a KR808D-1. You can shop around for a good price. Some say the Halo juice performs really well, but taste is a personal preference.
