Best Ecig with least hassle?

[dirtyjerz]

Which ecig stand above the rest in regards to battery life, strength of inhale, ease of use etc. I heard greensmoke, safecig and Cirrus 2 were some of the best but I would love some more opinions. Thanks!

If you heard this, then you were lied to.

I will give you a VERY brief tutorial followed by recommendation:

• regarding battery life: The amount of maH will dictate the battery life of an e-cig. Each 100mah is roughly equal to an hour of use. The little cigarette looking ones are generally betweeen 90-180mah... 45 minutes to 2 hours. In order to create a battery that is higher mah you must create a larger battery, this is just scientifically so and cannot be changed (this is not an idea that is specific to e-cigs, that's just life)

• regarding strength of inhale: The strength can be caused by several factors; voltage (most are about 2v, 3v,4v... many mods and passthroughs are 5v -- mods are home creations that are marketable, passthroughs are e-cigs that are not 'wireless', but instead attach to your PC or an outlet using an electrical cord or plug-in) nicotine level can increase the strength, and PG (the common e-liquid base) can increase the strength. Many e-liquid vendors also offer VG based e-liquid, but it will detract from the flavor and throat hit.

• ease of use: There are many methods of vaping, the easiest is likely to be cartomizers (like the units that you mentioned have). Cartomizers are available for any brand of e-cig, regardless of the size of battery or the looks of the unit.


Now for the recommendation:

The closest thing to what you want is probably either an eGo or a Riva510 (riva is a cheaper, rebranded eGo but has 750mah) and some cartomizers. HOWEVER, I do recommend that you get the "riva 510 lite bundle" and then add some LR (low resistance, it makes your 3.2mah e-cig perform more like a 5v e-cig) 2 ohm boge 510 cartomizers to your cart as well. This way you'd be able to try e-cigs using three different methods; cartridges, cartomizers, and dripping. Each cartomizer can be refilled over and over for about a week or so, but will need to be replaced soonish.

Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - Riva 510
Electronic Cigarette - Cartomizers - Boge Cartomizers

You'll also need about 30ml of e-liquid in various flavors and strengths (keep in mind the average vaper does well with 24mg, but many need lower mg or higher)

Good Luck!


ps: If you truly don't want to have to refill cartomizers or mess with e-liquid AT ALL:

You can buy the 510 cartomizers pre-filled,
A package of 5 pre-filled 510 or eGo electronic cigarette cartomizers
but it can get very expensive that way and you will be limited by the flavors available to you. If you choose to go this way though, you may want the "Riva 510 carto delux" kit instead.

Do not buy those brands you listed unless you want to pay too much and not even know what you are buying. You want one of the popular basic models that you know what model it is and can buy parts at multiple vendors.

The two most popular slim ecigs - 510 is slimmer with shorter battery life (unless you get its mega xl batteries)
Compared - KR808D-1 (aka Vapor4Life) vs Joye 510

If you are a heavy smoker of full strength cigs, a hard dragger, or need or want 6-8+ hours of battery charge, then skip the slim ecigs and skip to Ego, EGo-T, Riva 510 etc

If you have buckets of money and want the absolute least hassle, buy a two piece KR808D-1 and a ton of prefilled cartos and throw out 2-3 per day or more. A standard carto does not last as long as a pack of cigs - that is a web "name brand" lie. Or buy an Ego-T and prefilled tanks. Most of us refill cartos and carts with ejuices. Cartomizers (the juice-holding part of a 2-piece) need to be refilled less often, tanks of an Ego least often.

If you live in the US, shipping from China can be hit or miss. If you want your new kit in 4 days, get it from liberty flights.

You will get a lot of different good advice from many here but from my experience starter kits isn't the only way to go...tho thats how I began $$$$ ago. My 2cents is start with a inexpensive mod otherwise you'll probably spend money going from one upgrade to another.
Shop here E Cigarette Suppliers Forum
I suggest buying a 510LR atty and this (everything else you'll need) deal...

Whatever you choose continue to quit smoking and happy vaping.

Price CAN be beat-Lliberty Flights has SAME Riva kit (really get 2 full units) for 30$ with 20% off at top of page.
Have ordered from them several times--only 2.99 shipping and from Cal to Ind usually 3-4 days max.
I have a Ego from them and just ordered a Riva for backup.
Get a bottle or 2 of juice and ready to rock !!!!
You will want extra atty or 2 and maybe a extra battery later also.

 

[Silversmyth]

LOL,

I just ordered the "box mod" yesterday, that unsure referred to .
Think the Riva would be better for a starter--but either WAY is better than reg Cigs IMHO
What the hay do I know anyway !!

Welcome to ECF!

When I'm home, I love my 5volt Passthrough and AC/USB adapter from MadVapes. It vapes like Godzilla At work and driving, I use my Riva and it gets the job done

I dont think it requires buckets of money to own a kr808-D. It might be a bit more than a 510 or whatever else, but thats the sacrifice. For that sacrifice you get a two peice, easy to use, easy to maintain, good tasting e-cig. I'll agree that you certainly can go through carts quite often, but dripping some juice gets me about 24 hours out of each cart. So a 5pk lasts me an entire work week... not bad for an easy, hassle free e-cig. It all boils down to personal opinion, I know.

For the least hassle it would be Vapor4Life-Because it's your life - E-Cigarettes/Smoking Alternatives. I would recomend a manual XL but that's up to you.
A Joye ego is larger battery and is also a good option. I Like it because you can use the usb port in a car with a car adopter and charge while while you vape. As Rosa said Liberty flights is a good vender.

I think the "buckets of money" comment referred to buying and disposing of cartomizers without trying to refill them at all. I know I go through about 3 a day. It would still be less money than smoking, but not by much.

and ps, don't forget you can still have the same easy, hassle free e-cig use using a Riva 750mah (for $30) and some 510 pre-filled cartomizers. KR808d-1 is a great, awesome kit with an excellent reputation, but they don't corner the market on two piece e-cigs anymore. LOL!

I have tested many kits locally when converting smokers to vaping. The best starter kit I have found as far as customer satisfaction is the eGo-T (Tank). Not only does it require less maintenance, It can be turned off so it will not fire unexpectedly in the pocket. The biggest problem getting someone to switch is dealing with modded carts (Blue Foam plug, I'm not a fan of the poly fill), or cartomizers in which you need a syringe to fill. being able to simply pop the cap off of the eGo-T cart and drip right in and the ability to see how much juice you have left is wonderful to new vapers.

fwiw, you don't need a syringe to fill cartomizers. It makes it easier, but then it's easier to fill tanks using a syringe too.
