Help! I smoke 2-3 packs menthol lights per day. Can't quit, tried almost everything. Thought this might be better for me. Tired of bronchitis. There are so many. I don;t want anything from China. It doesn't need to look like a cig. Smoking that much, it has to last. Any helpful hints? Thank You, sharons florida

I don;t want anything from China.

I'm afraid that you won't find anything that doesn't, at least in part, come from China.

What are your concerns?

Everything comes from China, that is where these are made. I have been using this stuff for awhile, it seems to be getting better and lasting longer. You can get American juice from jc, in my opinion it is not as good, but many like it fine....good luck to you in your search.

China doesn't care what goes into anything!!!! But, if I have to have them, suggestions for a brand I should start with?

Thats not true.

I'd recommend what I have, its a current favorite of many here, the Joye 510. It goes by different names on different sites, suppliers can customize them if they buy in enough quantity.

Its a solid e-cig, with good taste, vapor, etc. Look at a starter kit, and maybe an extra battery or two. I would also buy some extra liquid, the cartridges included won't last you that long, and running out of liquid means smoking instead, especially when you first start.

Hi Sharon. Welcome to the forum. As already mentioned, if you want to go with the ecig, China is your only option. At least for now. You can get American made mods, but you'll still have to depend on China for atomizers and most juice.

Many people, myself included, have gotten off cigarettes using the ecig. I smoked Kools for 36 years and this week will celebrate my 6 month anniversary of not smoking. I myself found the penstyle to be my ecig of choice. Known as DSE801, BE112, RN4072. Look for the new thread, "Wonderful World of Vaping" currently under construction here. It is a wonderful help to newcomers. Do a lot of reading on this forum. It will help you immensely. Good luck!

I have been very happy with Heaven-Gifts. I find service, price, and quality to be good, they can't help it if they are in China, they have been dedicated to customer satisfaction...

Being a heavy smoker, and wanting to quit, I would suggest ones that have less problems. The 510 is a good suggestion. If you don't care about the looks but want better performance, then you should look in the ones with long battery life and hold up much better than the small ones. The Super T or the Janty STick or the one called the Prodigy from puresmoker.com are mostly made in the US and are good performers.

I just remembered that the Janty Stick is made in China but the other two are mostly made in the US.

For liquid, China is not your only option. As someone mentioned, JC is made in the US. You can also get Ecopure (made by Intellicig). Ecopure is made in the UK and can be bought from UK as well as US suppliers. Ecopure is VG based though and offers less "throat hit" than PG and it is more expensive than other e-juices.

China products really are your only option. Be careful to the wording in advertisements as well. When a company states that their product is assembled and designed in the USA the parts are still manufactured in china. The only difference is that the parts are made to the companies specifications. Most of the time people assume that these are completely US made personal vaporizers but it is not true. However, these models do tend to be tested for safety more. http://www.Inhalerette.com is a good example of this. The inhalerette is certainly not for the hardcore vaper though. It does not have much throat hit but it has OK vapor production. The price tag is steep but the warranty is excellent. Their kits come with one battery but they will give you an extra if you request it. Also, if you loose the product they will replace it free of charge. They also sell their carts in weekly and monthly supplies. They consider 20 carts to be a monthly supply. They advise against refilling carts due to biological contamination but I do and have had no problems. I just boil my mouth pieces and carts. However, I too prefer the 510. I also like the 801 which is my most reliable and has the longest battery life without a mod. the 901 is pretty good too. I buy my 801's, 901's, and 510's from http://www.awesomevapor.com. The customer service is great. I just do not find satisfaction in most of the personal vaporizers that look like cigarettes. In fact I have found that to the more a PV looks like a real cigarette the poorer the quality. Not sure why that is but it seems to hold true in my three years experience. I also recommend http://www.esmokeronline.com for liquids. They are real good in flavor and are well marked including the production and expiration dates. Also if you use the discount code technosmoke you will get another 10% off of your entire purchase. I do not work for any of the aforementioned companies or receive any kind of kickback but I have reviewed all of these products. I would recommend staying away from http://www.esmoke.net though. Their ecigs and parts are real poor quality.
