Complete newb

Ok, so I don't smoke much, maybe a few times a month, but that's because I can't stand the bad breath and smell that it leaves on me, so I avoid it.
Came across the E-cig on an ad on a random webpage, and thought that it sounded like a great idea.
I don't want to spend more than 100, preferably less than 50, for an E-cig that looks like a normal cigarette, but not one that looks like a plastic Marlboro. I think a black one would be cool.

Honestly, I think this might make me smoke more, but as long as it doesn't have the crazy amounts of carcinogens like regular tobacco then I am fine with that.

My question is, what is a good quality one that I can count on not falling apart or breaking for about a year.
I have read that the 510 from innovapor.com is decent, and the kit looks awesome, but I would want it sooner rather than later, so I don't really want to wait a long time for shipping. Also the kit is $100, which is more than I would like to spend.
Also heard of Blu, and that one looks good, but I haven't heard any about it.
Anyway, would like to hear some feedback soon, I am a little impulsive so there is a chance I may throw something on the credit card tonight
Thanks a million!

stay away from blu is what most people will say. terrible customer service and they're not taking orders anyway since they're so backed up. I would recommend the joye 510. You can find a good starter kit for around $50 at rockymountainvapor.com plus they have free shipping. If you want a lot of vapor and a good throat hit then I would recommend it whole heartily. But honestly, if you only smoked a few times a month, vaping will just dig your wallet into a deeper pit. You'll start vaping A LOT more than smoking so you'll end up buying more and more parts and juices to experiment with.
just my 02. cents though

I probably won't smoke it that much, and after I have bought a kit I guarantee I won't be spending too much on the juices. Thanks for the info tho! I will stray away from blu.

well then in that case look up some reviews and general info on some basic models such as the 510, 901, 801, etc etc. A lot of it is based on personal preference. (i.e. vapor production, throat hit, battery life, look and feel, cartridge life, etc)

Go for the RN4081. It looks like the real thing, good throat hit, and durable. It has a red LED so it mimics it as well.. Pretty cheap too. Some websites you can find you can buy two for $46.00. Other websites will give you much cheaper for 1. Try The Indoor Cigarette Home Page or Heaven-gifts.com Ruyandirect.com Best E-smoking Shop

I bought my 510 from Rocky Mountain Vapor for $46.00 free shipping and had it in 2 days. I have made a couple of other purchases from them and had the same great service.

JOYE510

How about the Dragon Starter Kit? It is a M401, so I don't know if that is better than 510 or about the same. But this kit looks better than the other starter kit, especially the carrying case!
Well, I am going to sleep without putting an order in, cause I don't know what I want yet. Anywho, thanks for the info peoples, keep it coming.

I'm completely new to e-cigarettes. I smoke camel lights now, about 1/2 pack per day. Hope to quick "real" cigarettes completely with my new purchase...

I just ordered The Dragon M401 Starter Kit from truesmoker.com. "JD" was helpful when i had a quick question right after my order. I read a few other posts on here from users saying they enjoy it and it works. It was on sale, and the design is pretty nice.

Anyway, JD claimed i should have it by tomorrow. I can post how a complete newb (me) fares with this new contraption tomorrow night maybe.

Just remember that the M401 is supposed to be coming out with a manual battery.
You may wind up wanting one some day in the future.

What is a manual battery?
And from what I have seen the Dragon is a good beginner model.
Do I need more than 1 atomizer? I probably wont smoke much.

Epic fail.

Ok, well I just ordered the Dragon from Truesmoker.com because I love dragons and it looked great, especially with the carrying case.
Can't wait to try it out!
Hopefully I will get it by friday? I live in So Cal, and I have no idea where it ships from, but hopefully by friday
Thanks for the info guys!

I'm not a salesman but I have tried enough of these to know.
I buy from EastMall.net because I like their reliability and prices.
They also have a good sale on liquid for filling and topping off carts.
And they only charge $15 shipping no matter how large your order.
Your choice should probably be one of these, DSE801 $39.95 , DSE901 $39.95 and many say the 510 $39.95 is good too, The 401 is closer to what you want I think.
I like the 901 $39.95 but I think the 801 is a little better.
If you want big smoke then the Lady Pipe is great and uses the 801 cartridge or the larger E-pipe $75 which has the greatest smoke.
