Best cigalike?

I have had good luck with the Halo G6. The batt can be ordered with a red/orange tip and empty cartos can be gotten with filter tip looking covers. The vapor output with the automatic batt was very analog like. with the manual batty you can pretty well control the amount of vapor
You will have to get there by mixing and matching.
The only reason I am going to briefly explain some of these is people will just start suggesting things yet there will be nothing behind the suggestions.
Think of the battery as being work potential.
Cigalike batteries have come regulated 3.3-3.4 like the Joye 510s batteries. Batteries like these have the worst potential.
Since all the cigalike batteries are very small they start out with a huge disadvantage so for a cigalike to produce a lot it is the one where focus on the battery needs to be the highest.
It might sound like the regulated 3.7 batteries are the way to go. Well maybe not. Some of these are LiFePo4 cells, they are regulated but are not able to support a lot of amps. In fact I have run across something that suggests that these really needed to be regulated.
Batteries are not created equal.
There are more than two factors but I am only going to cover two of them.
This statement I am going to make is partially true because it is a matter of degree. A gigantic low quality or low drain battery can beat a high quality or high drain battery. It depends on both the size difference and quality difference. When I say quality I am meaning things that lead to a powerful vape.
If two batteries are equal in ever way but size the larger ones has an advantage.
A PV with an 18650 does to worry about performance vs runtime as much as a cigalike does.
With the cigalike I can have one or the other but not both.

Hi Lockhart!
If it has to be a cig-a-like, then I would recommend you consider one of two options, either the Halo G6, or the Joyetech eRoll. Both of these have EXCELLENT reveiws and large followings. They do each have their pluses and minuses, so do your research to see which would best fit YOUR needs. The Halo is an 808 standard, not the eGo/510 that seems to be most prevalent, however neither is the eRoll, it is proprietary.
I have never tried either of them, however, after all the reviews I have seen, I really think I might have to pickup the eRoll, if I can find it cheap enough.
HTH, but as always ... YMMV!
A bit about some of the regulated cells.
Within a given quality level you can increase the mAh, or you can increase the amps it can carry. You cannot have both because of the size of the gas tank. Some of the regulated batteries are using LiFePo4 which if fine if you goal is to have higher mAh. You pay for the higher run time by not being able to carry as many amps.
Since you picked vapor as your criteria the more watts the better, we need a battery with a higher c-rating.
Battery C-rating and the ability to carry amps varies all over the place even in identical sized batteries. All 18650's are not the same, there is no need for all cigalike batteries to be the same.
The unregulated batteries can come out of the gate OK but in just a few minutes fade fast.
Cigalike can have a bit of punch but at current technology the best I have been able to find uses a high drain battery.
There are high drain 18650s but not as many high drain cigalikes. Well there could be a bunch out there but I have only found one so far.

He was asking in terms of vapor production. Blu does not have the power to produce a bunch of vapor.
Based one what make the Halo and eRoll better producers in this size class?

I'd advise against them in general, but the eRoll isn't horrible if that's the route you wanna go.
these can be a bit fussy Joyetech eRoll Kit
but they do have a following... i used one kinda like it to kick the old analog habit. just use at least 20% PG juices preferably more like %30 PG... if the juice is too thick it will not flow quickly and cause a burning taste... eventually you will want something better but cigalikes really help with the psychological part of analog withdrawal.

i would go with the E-Roll personally. its a tank feed coil system. its easier to maintain that a Cartomizer (halo) and the mini tanks for the halo are worse IMO than the E-roll system.

Halo G6 starter. if you completely going off analogs, suggest to get 2 more batteries if you vape a lot. tobacco sampler from Halo is highly recommended.
Cigalike is not best choice in and of itself if you want mad vapors. You can still get great vapor tho with a cigalike, just not "in the clouds". This is juice dependent.
Happy Vaping and Be Healthy.

Look into esmart 510. I have 4. I dont use them any more as i do variable wattage now. But they are real nice and i really enjoyed them. Got mine from vaporauhority but found them cheaper at desertvapes.
The OP asked for vapor production.
The people that tried to tell me the eRoll had the best vapor production were ...... on my head and telling me it was raining.
There are a lot of cigalikes that have better vapor production. This is some kind of myth going around based on very little comparison.
Psychology has nothing to do with it for some of us.

I've been using erolls for months. They have worked very well for me. I have 2 pcc's and 5 batteries. I needed something very cig-a-like for months, not ego sized and no buttons. The eroll was small and light with a great charging case. I have finally moved up to an taste vv 3 for home (I love it) but I still use and love my erolls. I use mostly 50/50 juice, the vapor is great.

It is not a high drain battery and gets out punched by something smaller.
I have the eRoll, it is not the highest vapor producing cigalike. The Halo isn't either. The batteries do not have enough punch.
If the eRoll produced like that I would not have given my mine away. Halo is not a good example for comparison.
