Decisions!!!

[AngelClare]

Ok... This is what I have decided and what I have come to believe...
I dont necessarily need it to look like a cigarette but something that looks like a box on my face is a big no no I prefer a more stick like format... Flavor is a large concern for me... i VERY much want a 3 pc with an option for a USB pass thru... I'd like the option to fill my own cartridges but dont want to end up doing it 5 or 6 times a day so...
I want a manual...
I want a USB PT available for purchace if not included...
I want it in 3 peices...
I want it into a general stick look...
I would PREFER alternite colors beside Black or White but this is not essental...
I DONT WANT to wait several weeks for shipping...
I DONT WANT to pay in the long run for a warranty that is basicly unenforceable due to the location it has to go to and from...


I THNK I want a 901 or a 501 but am VERY open to new sugestions...
Will someone help narrow this down? I want a seller thats going to have the product I need and hopefully be us based (for mutiple reasons not the least of which is my american dollars should go to american companies who will spend it with american businesses because thats the only real way to strgenthen the dollar)

You should go with the 510. It fulfills pretty much all of your criteria, except the color one, i think. it's a great starter.

 

[AngelClare]

But where to buy it? thats the BIGGEST headache is decideing on a supplier... I'd really like to hear about your FAVORITES because its so easy to hear all of the bad ones... Where are the good ones?!?!?!

E-cigs are made in China. Any dollars you spend will likely end up there. Not much you can do about it except purchase a battery pack and e-liquid made in the US.

Devices made in the US include the Super-T1, AdapteveR, Prodigy, Protege, GLV, Copper and Silver Bullet (sorry if I missed a few). Each uses batteries, battery chargers and atomizers from China.

Domestic E-liquid is available from Johnson Creek Smoke Juice, My Freedom Smokes, Liquid Express and a few others I cannot currently recall.

I got my 510 from Nhaler.com I chose the white one but could have got black, metallic blue, or metallic pink.

Stringent demands ;-) You're right on target mostly with the 901 or 510 except for that part where you don't want to be refilling 5 - 6 times a day. That will be a problem with those two models (unless you go to some adapters for a bigger cartridge and then it will look funny (but at home it wouldn't matter). The largest cig style cartridge is the 801 - 3x plus, the size of the 901 and 510 cartridges which are interchangeable.

But the 801 is a pen style - a bit longer than the 901 and 510 which are very close if not the same size. I have the 510 and the 801.

SO... there is a possibility of a small mod (term used for devices that are modified by our 'mod builders'.) you might look at the protege that has an 801 cart.

But again, if you can get by, by either changing or refilling carts the 510 or 901 fill most of your other requirements. My personal choice from what I've experienced and read is the 510. The 901 has just recently had the manual added to it and there have been some problems but not everyone has had those so.. as always.... your choice in the end.

I have both the 901 and the 510. I like the 901 better. It gives me more flavor and the 510, to me, is rather harsh. You can get several different colors in the 901 from suppliers here myvaporstore.com is one and vaporkings.com is another...there are more but I can't think of them off the top of my head. The 510 from us suppliers are mostly black, white or silver. Nhaler,com has metallic blue and a couple other colors. You just need to go look at different suppliers websites to see what they have in stock. Both the 510 and 901 are nice. There is also the 401, which is thinner and you can get different batteries that go really short if you want a smaller size. There is also the 2 piece...the kr808d-1. Several suppliers offer these. Cig-easy, Nhaler, V4L, and Vaporine to name a few. The atomizer and cartridge are together in one piece and then you have the battery. The cartomizers are refillable and I think last longer than a regular cart...you don't need to top off near as much with these. Hope this helps a little!! Welcome to the forum...you will love it here!

Rocky Mountain Vapor has all different colors of the 510. I just bought the copper there. But they had other colors as well.

 

[Vandal]

I received my 510 kit in 2 days from Cignot. No issues with shipping there. They are fast. I found the MLB carts that ship with it a bit harsh. I ordered some ECOpure Regular and Rich and some other VG flavors from them. Just tried the Regular today. Very smooth, very nice taste (though throat hit and vapor seem a bit less intense). But I have nothing else really to compare with (being a noob at eCigs).

They have a USB passthrough, adapters, PCC, etc., and very good prices.

ECIG - TrueSmoker: M401 Dragon

M401 Dragon from TrueSmoker fits all the criteria above.

 

[keyzygirl]

I wish I had tried the 2 piece first instead of wasting so much money on the 801 and mods.I got my 2 piece at vapor4life.With the xtra long bat it lasts all day.No fuss,no mess.Its the perfect ecig.

ECIG - TrueSmoker: M401 Dragon

M401 Dragon from TrueSmoker fits all the criteria above.

Gotta second that.

Well my posts aren't near as impressive when my posts follow Kent C's. But for my experience, look here:

Considerations for choosing an ecig

HTH,
Dave

 

[DC2]

Based on the importance of flavor I am going to rule out the 510 for you.
Based on your desire to get a 3 piece model, I will rule out the KR808D-1 for you.
Based on your desire to refill less often, I would rule out the 401 for you.

That leaves you with the 901 or 801 model, which is the longest of the three.
The 901 will need to be refilled more often, but is closer to normal sized.

Just make sure you can get at least one automatic battery to try.

 

[Fedor]

If you do consider the penstyle, do check out he M201 instead of the 801. Its way better.

Well Dave in that case... Your post did come first... Your post was where I started actually! I work for a Gas station/C-Store so We've been getting information on E-Cigs for months and ALL of it was BUY OUR NEW WEIRD PRODUCT!!! Your post took alot of the hoodoo mystery out of it for me! Your where I actually started to narrow down my checklist and WHY after several hours of intense research I knew what I did and did not want based on MY needs! So this is my post to say THANK YOU DAVE!
