Decisions..help me make one! :)

[kom1234]

Hi all...

I have been a 'rollie' (rolling cigarettes) smoker for a couple years now, and I'm looking to replace them with a decent e-cig.
I have 2 options in mind, and was hoping someone could take a look and give me some feedback on which is the better one.

I don't like a harsh throat kick, i enjoy the lighter side of smoking...

Here are the 2:

vapeking.co.za/vape-king-pro-starter-kit-prokit.html
and
twisp.co.za/buy-online-twisp/starter-packs/twisp-clearo-lite-details.html

help me out here...
cheers

Of the 2, the first one would be a better choice. Seems a bit expensive for what it is though (if I remember the exchange rate right). The iTaste MVP 2 would be a great device to start on for just a bit more money, the first site has it

Welcome to the forums, the vape king seems like a better kit with the pro tank instead of the other. Good luck with your purchase.

The vape-king kit looks like a better deal to start, as it includes a tank which offers replaceable heads and a battery which allows you to change the voltage. Those two features let you tailor the heat and thereby the throat hit to your liking. Replaceable heads also keep your ongoing costs down.

One thing I would suggest is starting out with a second battery, as you want to have a vape available while the other one is charging. Success in vaping depends on having a working backup available - an extra set of heads for the clearomizer would be a good idea too. Good luck with making the switch!

i second the second battery. gotta keep the vape on if you want to be successful with the switch.

I completely agree with the others opinions.

Hmm... twisp?

I have a bad feeling about them. Too expensive for starters.

I went the USB pass thru route instead of a second battery. Great for home and car use and is vv. I only use a battery at work.

The vape king would be the better of the two. Twice the battery amp hours, and a known atomizer. And something similar is the minimum set up I'd recommend to check out vape. Will provide a decent vape, and give you a taste of what vape could be. I used something similar 9 months ago, now I use one of these:

Vape long and Prosper.!!!

what got me to instantly quit a 2 pk/day habit to start was an eGo-type battery 1100 mAh minimum pass-thru...so I could still use it while it charged. everybody has their own preferences but I suggest pairing it with Kanger eGo t-2 or t-3 (top vs bottom coil) that you can replace the coils on...easy to rinse, change coil & try a new flavor until you find one you like. best starter set up & what I recommend to new to vaping friends. I have been tobacco free for over 2 1/2 yrs. (& I am not a new member, old member who had to set up a new account). Start with this or a variable voltage eGo-type battery before you buy a more expensive set up.

hmmm Okayyy heres the problem... you want something to replace smoking... only thing that is going to replace smoking is another tobacco product that burns. What you are looking for is an alternative method of supplying nicotine. Fortunately, vaping offers that nicotine replacement with the mainly similar actions of smoking ( probably why so many people have been able to switch over)...
consider a battery that will last a full day ( 1000mAh+) and a tank that is minimally low maintainence ( rebuildable coil)....

 

[kom1234]

Thanks for the fast replies everyone! much appreciated!

ill be going with the vapeking... but i was wondering if the variable voltage is a good or a bad thing for a light smoker?

Also one final question - how long will a 1300mAh battery last? roughly...

thanks again! awesome forum will definitely be lingering around

 

[Crazysinnester]

the first one is a better choice

 

[dudewheresmycar]

Itaste VV was second battery for me and can dial in Volts/Watts. I too like a cooler vape (much like a lighter vape) this turned the corner for me. Used lowest Watts for ever and dialed up and down the Volts per taste/Liquid each day. Anything over 4.2 volts tasted burnt to me.

I kind of agree with the suggestions you have gotten so far but I just wanted to welcome you to ecf and wish you luck with your vaping no matter what you decide to start out with. ECF is a pretty wonderful place for me and I can't tell you how many times the wonderful people here have helped me. Good luck to you my new ecf friend.

I think this was a pretty good start for me:

Build a Vape - Build a customer Vaporizer

But I got worried I wouldn't stick with it so I bought a bunch of expensive stuff that I probably didn't need to.

I thought it was reasonable for the price.
