Yep, the long running dog & pony show sales pitch is getting old.
Quoting the wrong person looked like fun, so,
Did you see the size of that chicken?
Right...all Ninja knows about are high end, authentic regulated devices. And puppies...those two things.
OMG how silly was that! I'm soooo sorry. It was my long day at work. Feet still hurting from strenuous work all day. I quoted the wrong person, terrible mistake. I didn't mean to quote anyone. I didn't realize.
you know the drill....go into the ProVari thread and say 'Over priced, Under powered". That'll learn ya....
If you want something that looks like a cig BUT actually works go to Smokeless image and get a Volt. They work a million times better then a Blu and the company is wonderful.
Arguably, if you believe all the nonsense being spouted off by the climate change folks, even fresh air is not good. Personally, Im thinking about going to Mars with a space heater. Should be safe there...
Folks need to relax a bit here. This is the same as someone drinking coffee for the first time, maybe slightly worse. At least he is starting with an ecig.
Im going to tell you my personal opinion, many will disagree but whatever.
I used to be one of those, I want something like a cigarette in appearance. Trust me when I tell you, those are all garbage. All the cartridges will only last you only a few days.
People telling you sweet juice or clear juice or dark juice or glow in the dark juice will or will not make your cartridges last longer do not understand how this works. It is all about the filtration process. Juices that are run through a good filtering process, that is, one that removes as many particulates in the liquid as possible will make your coils, cartridges, and cotton last longer. Many times, you get what you pay for. Lower priced juice is not filtered as well as higher end liquids, although, there is no guarantee.
I rewick mine every day. This is equivalent to replacing the cartridge, except, I literally take the cotton out, clean off the gunk on the coils, and put new cotton in. This is the advantage you get with a bigger mod. I merely pay $3 for enough cotton balls to last 10 years. Every 3 months, I take the coils off and put new ones on. You can either make your own simple coils (very easy to do and very inexpensive, about $10 for enough wire to last a near lifetime) or buy premade more fancy coils (often times called klapton coils, of which there are several dozen varieties people have come up with - note, you can also make these yourself but I dont think its worth the trouble, very inexpensive to just buy 8 premade klaptons for $5 and thats enough to last a year). You trim the leads off, stick them in the holes, tighten some screws to hold them in place, thread some cotton through, put some drops of liquid on the cotton, put into the mod, voila. Cheaper, much better performance, and, you get a good understanding of how these devices actually work.
Throat hit is caused by 2 main things - nicotine content and how much PG is in your juice. In my experience, PG is the bigger difference.
Understand also, a bigger mod will allow you to use much lower nicotine levels than the lower end devices because bigger devices burn more liquid in one hit. This might seem like a bad thing, but it isnt. You get a more satisfying hit on a bigger mod and you take less hits with a bigger mod because you get a better hit. It balances out.
My current setup is an aromamizer plus in the 20 ml setup with an RX 300 while on the road. Its huge. It will drown you if you jump into a pool with it. However, what I get out of it is a solid hit, very good flavour.
At home, I use an SX mini g class with a Hussar clone. Even better flavour, a bit easier to hold, less bulky, perfect for around the house.
These are both expensive setups, around $150 for the first (RX300 about $50, 4x18650s around $10 a piece, and the Aromamizer Plus around $50). The second setup is around $260 ($220 for the SX mini g class, $20 for 2x18650s, and a Hussar clone about $20).
What I get is better flavour and batteries that only need to be charged once or twice a day and the ability to really up the power to high wattages when I want a warm vape, or lower wattages for the majority of the time when I want a cigarette like vape, temperature wise.
I use 6 mg nicotine at a 70/30 VG/PG ratio. Good throat hit. A bit more than a cigarette offers.
Trust me, buy a bigger mod. Go into a mom and pop vape shop and they can get you started with a nice kit that will let you build your own coils. They will show you how to do it. It will save you money in the long run, give you much better performance, and be much more convenient.
Thats my nearly two cents, its worth more than a penny, not quite as much as two.

Thanks for the advice.... do you think that cig-a-likes are bad influence for me?
I think whatever keeps you off the stinkies, regardless of whether you are a current smoker or thinking about smoking, is a good thing. I just want to see you get something that wont turn you off vaping because, what Im afraid of is, youll get the wrong impression of vaping and get tired of spending money and eventually do the easier thing, buying cigarettes.
Get a middle of the road device where you can build your own coils. Avoid temperature control (you dont need to know what this is, when you buy your mod, tell them you dont want this) and youll be fine. If you want to delve into the world of fiddly bits at a later point, you can play with temp control later. For now, get a serious mid range device. It will be bigger. However, it will be more convenient and a better experience.
Stay off the stinkies!!
Once again......were being played
The below pic was actually taken from a Climate Change Convention in 2015 , i have nothing to do with what it says below the image but it sounds dead on accurate to me .
They all look very engaged , big believers for sure lol.
I say buy whatever you want, try it and let us know how you are doing. We can only recommend something. Everyone has different taste. I've been vaping over 4yrs and no problems. I've just about tried everything. I would go ahead, buy the Blu's. it's pretty much "Whatever floats your boat". I can say we all feel so much better from vaping than smoking. Who can argue when there is so much evidence that vaping helps smokers quit the stinkies.
