OK ill make this quick.
I did a post and was reccomended a bunch of different e-cigs.

I have it down to 3.

1. Janty Stick
2. Joye510
3. screwdriver.

Here the concerns about each, and any input would help.

1. Janty Stick. Is this refillable carts? and also How is the hit? I want a NICE BIG vape hit.

2. joye510.
I know that its batt life sucks, so ill get a pcc, but it seems to produce a GREAT amount of vape, the question is how is that compared to the Screwdriver? which I hear is a MONSTER hit? and how many good drags can you get of a single cart?

3. Screwdriver
Seems like a great, long lasting, huge vape hit MONSTER. However iv noticed in the reviews that it needs to be re-filled after eh. 5-7 hits. WTF? I wanna get like 20-30 hits before having to refil at least. But i like the big batt and big hit. I just dont wanna have to keep topping off 4 or 5 times while im uh, driving my car or somthing haha. I could only see it now, Sir? You have been in a horrible car accident, why werent you paying attention? Um... Cus of my Screwdriver, I was trying to fill it up? WHATTT? haha

Any info to help me narrow it down would be great.

THANKS!!

Just something to consider...chances are, if you vape fairly heavily, you will be topping off cartridges nearly as often as you would be dripping. I would say the playing field is somewhat level at that point. Though I do not own any of the devices on your short list, I would likely be inclined to go with the JS or 510 simple because I am not a fan of buttons on the bottom of my device.

Hmmmm,

I'd say get the 510 just because everyone should have one. It meets all your stated needs. I keep one tucked away in a drawer at work and at home, and in the car. They are charged up and on standby with regular ry4 carts as backups in case I lose my JS, it dies, ninjas steal it, etc.

Otherwise, I have completely fallen in love with the 801 atomizers, and the JS is great with them. My "main rig" right now (will be something completely different in a few days I'm sure, I keep changing up) is a Janty Classic Atty with RY4 in it, and an 801 atty with Hilton in it. I just swap back and forth during the day. I keep two skinny glass dripper bottles handy to top off my carts.

For so many reasons, I really love the Janty Stick. It's basically an 801 side-by-side e-cigar. Battery life is great, but no idea how great it is because I have cheap USB to mini cables everywhere now. Anywhere I'm sitting I can just plug in. It's tiny, pocketable, hits like a truck, convenient, and light. If it died I'd get another one. No question.

The filler material in the cartridge is soaked with e-liquid in pre-filled carts. When inserted in the atomizer, the wet filler material comes into physical contact with that mesh 'bridge' inside the atomizer. By wicking action, liquid migrates from the filler to the mesh and gradually to the heating coil. When the cartridge begins to empty, the filler becomes dry. At this point, you take out the cartridge and add a few drops of e-liquid. This is topping off.

Dripping is a style of vaping in which no cartridge is used, just a mouthpiece atop the atomizer. In this style, you drip 2-3 drops of liquid into the barrel, replace the mouthpiece and vape. Dripping is not recommended if you use screw-in automatic batteries because the liquid can seep into the batteries and kill them off. Dripping works very well with the devices on your short list.

Refilling is the process of cleaning the cart and filler in water, drying, restuffing and completely filling the cart with e-liquid.

Please fill me in on dripping.

I have been thinking that DRIPPING is Filling up the cart.

so either I read your post wrong, or they are two separate things..

Please explain.

Thanks!

    Tough call. the SD basically gives you consistent power, which e-cigs could *really* use. However, no choice on atomizer. The JS is a very nice idea/design, just seems to be having 'new product teething/quality issues.' (I do *not* own one, but that's WHY I don't..waiting on v2/metal body).

    I think I'd go with the 510 if it's your first. If you think vaping will work for you, you can then get something like the GG or Prodigy with 510 adapters, after trying a PureSmoker 5v USB passthrough with the 510 atomizer..limited wasted $, and you can still grab your 'regular 510 batteries' for running out for a bit, etc.
