Best "cigarette" style e cig?

[Shady195]

What in your guys opinion is the best cigarette style e-cig? I would like to find one with an auto battery, close to the size of a real cig and something that pref uses cartomizers. I'd like to have one to carry with me when I dont feel like using my eGo-t and XL Dual coil cartos, and also something to give to the wife, I gave her my 901 to use but I think shes not sold on this whole somewhat bulky e-cig idea, I figure something she can treat like a real cig might push her in the vape direction a bit more.

Any of the KR808 line would be a good choice, with the Bloog being one of the standouts.

I agree with cyberwolf, the 808D1's are good. Bought my wife one(manual batt), since then I have gone to 808 cartos on my 901, and use the 808 batts and cartos frequently.

XL KR808 batteries would be my recommendation. Last longer and like 100's , women like them. Check out Vapor4Life's diamond series for a less expensive version of the Bloog autos and they usually deliver faster. Sign up for the site or check their supplier forum to get the latest coupon codes. They constantly have good sales.

I love my Joye 510, although it doesn't have an automatic battery. Vape is as good as with my ego. Great with a pcc. You could get xl batteries but I think they're a little silly looking. My mom has a V4L with XL batteries and she looks like Cruella De Vil. I'd get a 808 or 510 with some extra batteries and a pcc.

You can get a 510 but no slim ecig can use LR cartos or attys - you need to use standard resistance attys and cartos
With a carto a plain 510 is 100mm long and .9mm diameter. I use Boge soft-cap cartos.
I do not recommend auto for use with cartos - you know where they leak if they leak.

For actual cigarette size and look and no compatibility with 510

Spitting image w/ super freaking tiny incredibly annoying carts with push-up juice cups, get M401 or M402 at MyPVShop.com. No cartos really.

Or you can try to find some ripoff rebrander selling an E8 model which does have small cartos and be locked into them for supplies.

For the most 'cig like' experience, the KR808 is the first, easiest option. V4L has alot of options for KR808, and the Bloog maxx-fusion is one of the better examples. You could try a 510 mega (280mAh) battery with a cartomizer as well, since you already have an eGo, the parts would be interchangeable.

 

[dormouse]

510 mega manuals are sweet. About 128mm long w/ a Boge carto. Only downside is the only PCC available for them is the sharp edged non-roomy Joye kind which holds 1 battery and 3 short items. The only reason I am using standard 510 manuals during the day is the sweet PCC from NoSmokeVA.com which hold 2 batteries (one charging) and 6 cartos or other short items. As an added bonus, since I also vape KR808D-1 standard manuals - I can store a KR8 battery threaded-end up in the non-charging slot of the PCC. So when I leave the house I am loaded for bear - 1 each assembled KR8 and 510, spare charged battery for each and 6 cartos in the PCC, and a Riva battery in a lipstick little case.

OT- Dormouse, yesterday you posted a link for a 510 pcc. Do you still have it?

Sorry for the hijack.

Edit: Nevermind, I just saw it in your post!

 

[want to quit]

My first PV was a Ego-T and a GoGo which both are good but I just got my Bloog in yesterday which is a cig shaped e-cig and let me tell you ever since I got it my other PV's are not being used. The Bloog maxx fusion is the closed I ever gotten to a real cig. Shape, size, weight, feeling just amazing.

Cost is a lil high but that thing is freaking amazing

Get 2 bats in 65mm with a PCC and a 102mm bat and you are ready to go. Just letting you know the 102mm bat will not fit in the PCC therefor I recommend buying 2 65mm bats which you can use and recharge with ur PCC and if everything breaks down for any reason you still have your 102mm bat just for the real emergency.

Not really a fan of automatic batteries since I stopped using the Blu's - mega 510's aren't bad, a bit shorter than a ballpoint pen. I can vouch for the Blu cartomizers tho, they're pretty good and can be refilled quite a few times. No idea what brand cartomizers I have right now (no-name brand) but they were pretty handy. So far have used Brother batteries, pretty good lifespan but all manual.

I think the VOLT from smokeless image is the best way to go for a newbie, cheap and easy to use!

 

[akira712]

+1 for the kr808

 

[tresrottn]

Kr808 is the way to go, for me at least, and manual battery. Auto....well, just doesn't do it for me. I like the control I get with the manual. I don't have to suck on it like trying to drink a milkshake from a straw, ya know what I mean? I hit the button, and I simply draw in a puff of nice warm vapor.

 

[akira712]

i should try a manual battery...

I like my m402 but I would reccomend you get some manual batteries for it if you get one and/or a pass through. It is about the size of a 100 cig assembled but the batteries don't last long and as far as I know you can't get xls for it. You'd really be better off in the long run with the 808 or 510 though you have to refill the 402 carts often on the 401/402s. They do vape nicely though.

Something that obviously is not a cigarette is best for use away from home. It it looks like a cigarette and produces vapor, people will think you are smoking. I like the Ego tank. It's obviously not a cigarette and people immediately identify it as an ecig. Instead of frowning at me, they walk up and ask me if that's one of those electronic cigarettes. Then they want information to pass on to their relative who needs to quit or change over.

No automatic batteries for me. There are too many stories about them turning on in your pocket from loud noises. If you go to a concert, you have to remove the battery to prevent activation when you aren't vaping.

I am using an automatic KR808-D1 and love it! I would go with a short or "standard" size. The XL sizes make me feel more like I am holding a pen then holding a cigarette. Just make sure you try a few different cartridge types and flavors as some seem to smoke pretty well while others just wont really produce much vapor for me with an automatic.

 

[Bogey]

I have just got my KR808-d1 and its great. I did get the xl batteries and they are long. However, one thing i noticed last night is that perception is all in they eye of the beholder. Some have said they are "cruella deville" in length. However, I do have pretty large hands and noticed that it doesn't look all that long when I vape it. Being a manual (which I reccomend even though I didn't think I would like it before i got one) when i hold it and use my index finger, or thumb, to press the button most of it is hidden by my big ole hands. I thnk if you consider it a cigarette, and try and smoke it like one (only trying to touch or hold it by the "filter") it does look very long. Once I got my mind to realize "its not going to burn me... it doesn't get shorter" it clicked.

Obviously this varies as much as there are different hand sizes. I hope everything works out for you!
