I'm glad this subject was brought up because as a new user who's interested in making my first purchase I've learned over the years from reading other forums that "reviews" are always subjective and its typically a 50/50 shot whether or not you get what you thought you were getting in the first place.

I was going to start a new thread but apparently im so new here that im still awaiting an admin to allow me to post a new thread...so Ill just ask here:

I think I may be interested in something like an NjoyPro partly because it looks and feels most like a real cigarette from what Ive been reading so far...however, I'm extremely turned off by folks who have said it is pluaged with technical problems such as constant cartridge leaks. It also seems that the carts are more costly than other products. What id like to know is, could someone reccomend a similar alternative to an NjoyPro that is perhaps built better and wont leak? and has cheaper carts? (not sure if any 4081 would do or if i need to purchase from someone specifically to insure no major problems)...so would a 4081 make sense? I'd really like something that vapes well enough to feel as close to a real cigarette as possible as ive been smoking Newport's for 25 years now and a "lite" throat experience probably wont make the cut...and I also want something very light-weight so i can hold it and smoke with 1 hand in a natural way that im used to.

...and who locally (in the USA) can i count on to deliver the goods with great customer service and a website which actually has a phone number (answered by a person and not a machine) and lists a real address instead of a PO Box? I looked at Puresmoker but after 25 years on the internet I thought the site and how he represents himself is laughable, nothing personal but i mean its obvious he's either never had to deal with a website business before OR he just doesnt care because from my point of view its a disfunctional site (bad page coding, a lack of important product information) and offers first time consumers little reason to feel secure/trusting due to the lack of personal contact information for his business. I just cant do business with a site like that. Who is GOOD and can be easily contacted and has stock so my shipment wont delay? (im in NY).

Lastly...SUPPLIES...if im trying to replace my real smokes with e-cigs and I currently have "a pack to a pack and a half per day habbit" how much liquid and carts should i get to at least last me a full 30 days? and how long do atomizers last, will i need more than 1 for 30 days? Im currently spending about $100-$120/month on real cigs and am trying to figure out if e-cigs will really be alot cheaper than this or not...and since you have to order online i want to make sure i have a full months suppliy of everything ill need to get started.

I just want as pleasant of a first experience as possible so I'm asking for your thoughts and perhaps to help me avoid making the same mistakes you might have made in the beginning.

Thanks so much!
Dave

Try Totally Wicked they have 2 good models and good liquid for US supplier

Super Mini Looks like real cig
901 looks like cigerello easier too refill or drip.
I have used them and had great cust. service and product,also you can call them.Every time I called Patti answered and was very helpful and patient with me a new e-cig smoker.I smoked Newports for 27 yrs and found there menthol and spermint liquid to be good especially mixed together

That's not the case at all. I do appreciate your offer though. My comments were not based on a single review or person. I hope you don't think I was directing anything at you.

no not at all.. ha ha , i was just explaining my method. Were here to (hopefully) help each other out

I agree with you also, I dont watch the reviews anymore that have the reviewers opening a fresh box, thats is really not very helpfull at all (no offense to any hard working reviewers at all) but I think what is more important is how long these products last because I have bought a lot of ECIG stuff and I find some things detioriate rapidly (in particuliar any DSE901B or Mini) yet you see all these great review for MINI's..that has not been my experience at all, sure they are great for the first week or so out of the box but they become junk after that.
