Hello, I have been vaping for some time, and I started off with an eGo, that burned my lips a bit I think it was Inokkin Leopro, then I moved to Airsmokecig eu Supreme 1100, which was, nice but then I wanted to go up. I bought Joyetech eVic and EHPro Kayfun Lite Plus clone. I had some trouble with making a good coil and wicking, and I am still having trouble, but when I see how nicely the vapor comes off of my friends Airsmokecig eu Supreme 1100, and then compare it to my Kayfuns - its crap :D . So I decided that its not for me, RBA is just not for me :D. So I thought I'd get a KangerTech Aerotank Mega, but then I got uncomfortable walking around with that big Evic and Kayfun, and Aerotank mega would not be any smaller. So my final thoughs - right now is to get a cig-a-like, cuz I miss holding the devices as a cigarette too.

So what I want, is I want some recomendations, I have an eye now on Joyetech eRoll, I like that it has a PPC, and if I buy an extra Atomizer cone, I can charge one while vaping other, and I realy like that I can just fill it easly with my own juice, and just change atomizer if its burned and done. So is there anything simillar to consider or even better?

Below are some blog posts by ECF member Baditude that I highly recommend for someone new to vaping. Even though you are not new to vaping, you may find something useful here.

1. A Good Starter's Setup for a Beginning Vapor
2. Advancing Up the Vaping Ladder with Egos and Mods
3. Proper terminology - Is it a carto, a tank, or what? A Guide to Juice Attachments.
4. Something Safe for Cinnamon and Citrus Flavors

And here are a couple of video reviews on the eRoll by well respected reviewers:

1. A PBusardo Review - The emini AKA eRoll
2. REVIEW OF THE JOYETECH EROLL

Thanks for the blog, I found some interesting stuff for me, but not as useful for my current problem but never the less interesting, and about the eRoll, I have watched a tons of reviews, and dont you too think its the best of its kind? its like a eGo with a clearomizer, but like a cigarette.

About the Halo, I realy cant get it because it does not ship to Latvia, or it was realy expensive I dont realy remember, but I know that there was a problem with shipping, because I had visited their shop in the past, but that is not the only problem, I dont like that it doesnt have an PPC, so I would need to get carry around something like 4 or 5 ecigs to match eRolls PPC

I haven't used a cig-a-lite in more than 6 years, so I'm not familiar with any new products that has been developed since then. However, Joyetech is a well respected company, and in seeing the two reviews I posted, the eRoll does look promising for someone who was not a heavy smoker or who does not mind that they may have to change batteries and refill the small tank multiple times a day.

It definitely looks better than anything that I used when I first started using an e-cigarette (8 years ago) and much better than what I see today being sold at gas stations here in the USA.

The thing about cig-a-likes is this.

We know, even before you open the packet if it's going to give off any decent vapour.
We also know that if you can't keep it topped up with charge, it's going to be pathetic.

Got to be a PCC kit. Got to be as low resistance as possible.

For me a plain Joyetech 510 *manual* 280mAh with a low resistance boge is as good as it gets. BUT, there's the problem of the PCC.
Kanger make an 808D-1 PCC kit. I think the cartomisers are 2.4ohms, so not as good as the 510 freshly charged, but better than a 510 after 5-10 vapes. e-Roll is the king, but those cartridges are tiny...

almost an impossible conundrum. :)

so, besides that I will need to constantly fill my cartridges, eRoll is the best choise?, maybe I can get a holder for cartridges, and fill them up at home, how are they - can they be left filled or will they leak if not put inside the eRoll, and one more question will they handle the Crushed Lime and Mojito juice? because i think its cheep plastic, and plastic does not go well with citrus juices

I have an eRoll and it is the piece of equipment that finally got me off the smokes. I had larger mods but found they didn't keep me from smoking around other smokers or in situations that beckoned me to smoke instead of vape. It's an excellent cigalike that produces good vapor, better than a standard eGo IMO. You can charge it in the PCC without taking it apart or removing the tank, and it charges quickly. I carry extra filled tanks in small pill boxes that take up little room. I highly recommend it if you're in the market for a cigalike.

If you are using citrus flavors, plastic is not a good option, however glass is the better option. The Joyetech eCom 650 Mah would be a good second option (glass interior), not exactly cig-a-like, but smaller than a big mod and with enough power for a days vaping. The battery charges via a mini usb connection on the battery itself. If needed, you can buy a spare battery and keep it with you.
