Out of curiosity i skipped to the last page of this forum and read the (now closed) threads. Those POOR FOLKS! Thread after thread comparing the njoy to the ecig brand. I will never, never feel sorry for myself over crappy clearos again!

My experiences so far

Pen-like from e-cig: When I first received it stopped working after a day. I rinsed it with alcohol, dried it with a hair dryer and it's been working better and better ever since. I also bought a 50ml e-liquid bottle and a smaller 10ml bottle with the push button to drip. So far the product has lived up to expectations. For some reason this e-cig has been improving since day one.
Pen-like from dealextreme. The first one I got was really difficult to get smoke out of. You had to puff like crazy to get just a small amount of smoke. So I sent it back and they sent me another. The second one has one battery that does not charge and the atomizer is not any better. Maybe I have been unlucky but for 30$.... I'm not sure if I will go to the trouble of returning it, I'll just keep the cartridges, they fit the e-cig. The battery does not fit though, different thread. Cheap product overall.
Semi-automatic cigar from dealextreme. Now this one is really surprising. As much smoke as the e-cig but the taste is really bad. So I replaced the wool in the cartridge and filled it with e-liquid and now it's fine. The battery lasts for a surprisingly long time. You have to push the button to activate the atomizer but I think it actually helps to make more smoke. You don't have to suck right away so smoke builds up in the atomizer before you puff. For some reason, you exhale less smoke than with the pen-like even though I use the same wool and liquid in both. That's a mystery I haven't figured out... yet. Great value for the price. 25$!!!
NJOY. Well, everyone seems to say this is one of the best. The build quality sure is up there but the one I received simply does not work. I recharged the batteries overnight and still nothing. It did make one small puff the first time I tried it, but nothing since. NJOY is sending me another atomizer so I will let you know how it compares with the others.
Conclusion. Right now my favorite is the pen-like from e-cig. A very close second is the semi-automatic cigar. The biggest problem with all of these products is the lack of consistency from one puff to the next, not enough smoke compared to cigarettes and not enough taste or "tingle" in the throat. You DO get nicotine though, not doubt about that. Good luck all.
God bless them I hope they stuck with it and are still smoke free. We should be thankful to each of them!
