cigarette style

[djsvapour]

I can already envisage the kind of replies I'm going to get, but here goes.

You'd like a simple, cigarette-sized e-cig to smoke 0% nic liquid. Great, what fun!

The answer is SO simple. DON'T under any circumstances get into the big name brands that sell cheap batteries, expensive refills, poor quality chargers, even poorer quality accessories. This completely and unquestionably means GreenSmoke and NJOY and E-Lites (US) and Blu and 10 others (at least) are NOT the way to go.

Buy yourself one or two nice batteries from an independent vendor. I would opt for 510 "fitting", and most probably by Joyetech (it pains me to say that.....). Add to that a charger, some cartomizers and e-liquid (zero)....and that's it.

That's all there is to it. The big brands are sucking in customers to buy endless supplies and replacements at crazy prices....maxing out their profits by selling cheap and nasty products to the unsuspecting.

2 batteries, a charger, some cartomizers (1 or 2 packs?) and some e-liquid. From an independent vendor.
I'll leave it up to the forum to recommend vendors - I can only say who's good and honest and fairly priced in England....

Oh, by the way, if Halo are rated as a quality battery and the mini tank is a small clearomizer, then that's fine.
As long as you don't buy rubbish.

I realize you've made your decision, but anybody else that may be looking for a reasonable cig-alike solution may want to look into the Fin setup available at most WalMarts. $15 gets you a decent automatic 510 battery with USB charger and one cartridge. $30 gets you a double-battery set with more carts and charger. I think the carts taste like crap, but the batteries are 510, so use any 510 accessories. I used one with a Nano Clearomizer for a while and it worked fine. I actually drained and cleaned the carto that came with it and refilled with different juice - works great. Not necessarily the cheapest kit, but pretty economical and no shipping.

I got alot of good info from my first thread and I appreciate it. Im now leaning towards a cigarette style ecig.

Im a total noob but whatever I buy will be my first and last ecig so I want something that can last. Anything at or slightly larger than a cigarette will do. Id prefer carts I could refill (but not necessary) and a 0 nicotine option is a must.

Green Smoke & Vapor4Life are the 2 Ive been looking at but Im sure there are better options.

Thanks!

I too thought that my initial purchase would be my last. Batteries wear out. I had to purchase new batteries for my vaping after 30 days. Besides the batteries, I figured out what kind of vapor I likes and ended up buying a few different RBAs. This then led to the purchase of different style batteries. What I am saying is that it proved impossible for me to buy just one kit. Everyone is different.

I've used the Fin system for nearly eight months. I used their "new" style cartomizers for nearly sixty days after they switched from the old, hollow-style refill cartridges, and I found them perfectly serviceable--and VERY expensive.

Switched to an eGo-style clearomizer tank (very slim, real glass, retails for $8.99) and a bottle of juice for every two weeks. The great thing about the Fin batteries is that they're readily available. I also purchased their "platinum" kit--comes with a Blu-style hard-shell recharge box that I can keep charged. It comes with two shorter 510 batteries that it'll store, while charging one on the go.

It's a near-perfect system for me, but I DO find myself constantly charging these powerful little batteries constantly! Not ready to move up to a big ol', cigar-sized battery. I'm a "dangler" smoker for nearly 30 years, and I prefer a small, lightweight system that I can stick in my teeth and leave the Hell alone...

I replace the little clearomizer tank monthly, and get a new bottle of juice (with a good bit left from the previous bottle) about every two weeks. And I'm puffing these things CONSTANTLY.

Can't describe how much better my breathing, sleeping, and voice and breath control are--I work in radio, and that's important to me. In short, the Fin brand is a good little battery, and their cartomizers taste good to me, and provide a good vape! But the slim, robust little tank system I stumbled upon is immensely better. Give it a try when you're ready, "cig style" users, you might like it.


Okay,
Bobbo

I really enjoyed and still enjoy the volt!
