So V2 just shut down. I know that most people seem to have moved on from cig a like batteries and such but for me and my father they work very well. With alternating between a few charged batteries we are able to make it through the day and they are easy to hold either in my mouth while i'm doing work. I've been a V2 customer for years now and I've tried a few different kinds of liquid because you can use different liquids in the cartomizers that they had. The problem now is that I need to find some new cartomizers to go with the batteries that i have and I need to find new batteries to replace the ones that I have because I know they are only going to last so long. Are there any other good cig a like brands out there? I know most people are switching to those pods after spending a few days on the forum looking into it and i'm open to them but it seems like the pods aren't refillable which is one of the big selling points to me with the refillable cartomizers because then you can put in any flavor that you want in them and you can refill them as the liquid gets low. Any advice would be appreciated thanks.

I have never used it but Halo has a G6 kit that is cigalike. Wouldn't work for me but depending on what V2 device you are talking about it might be very similar

Hi and welcome,
What is your budget.
How many batteries/cartos do you use per day?
Do you prefer draw activated or is a button activated model okay?

What juice are you using? Brand/flavour/nicotine content.

Cheers
I

Glad to hear that there are refillable pods out there that makes me less apprehensive about buying those if I needed to. I'll have to look into those more. I believe the threading for the batteries for that V2 have are kr808 and I usually go rotate between a charged 3 of them using at least all 3 once maybe one more than once in a day depending on how long i've had the batteries and what kind of shape they are in. I use the batteries that are draw activated. And I use vanilla V2 liquid mostly and my dad uses V2 red liquid. We both use a very low nicotine content right now. I had made two threads because I wasn't sure where exactly to put the thread originally. Thanks for all the responses they are really helping.

I have an aspire Breeze 2 and really enjoy it. It won't replace my regular vape but it's great for a nic jolt. You can replace the coils and it has 2 different coils. One can be used with nic salt and the other regular eliquid. They are refillable also which helps!
There are a bunch of pods that can be refilled. I'm sure others will chime in with their favorite.

Not a cigalike, but I think decent product in that form factor is getting hard to find. I won one of these in a contest on another thread. Was finally delivered today, but I haven't used it. A couple of experienced vapers here have rated it pretty highly. I'm anxious to try it tonight.

Here's the thread:Zero Kit By Renova Vapor

I also hear good things about the Justfog Minifit. Closer to cigalike style, almost like a Juul, is the Smok Infinix. I tried those, and they hit really nice. But it's a Smok product, and they're pretty well known around these parts for poor QC and high fail rate.

If you want to poke around and get more ideas on pod systems, here's the link to that part of ECF:

I have a Renova Zero Pod. Been using it for 11 days now, original pod is still good. It has replaced my usual vape. Refillable pod, 650 mAh battery. 3 power levels. Refill/recharge once daily. Has automatic Temp Control. Draw activated.

To get the tighter draw you would probably prefer there is a simple h hack shown in that thread that brewdog shared.

    yeah @Foggy Road you get to pick from one of your many "free" devices :rolleyes:

    Those 880 batteries that keelalagirl55 suggested might work very well for my dad. He tends to favor the cig a like batteries much more than anything else thanks very much. I might end up looking into some of the pod ones that you have all been talking about now that I know more about them and that they are refillable and everything. Do the pods tend to give you more vapor in anyone/s opinion?
