E Cig Opinions?

[Keith210]

Ok friends...
I'm in need of a little help.
I'm looking for a new E Cig for my wife and myself.
What I'm looking for, is an E Cig that has these qualities.
- Has VG, juice.
- More on the inexpensive side (I am willing to pay for better quality though)
- Looks / Feels Like a real Cigarette.
- Refillable
- Aesthetically Pleasing
- Good selection of Juices

Thank you in advance for your replies....
Any Information helps.

One question.. by "new" do you mean that you already have one? and if so... which one do you have?

It will help people determine if you are a first time buyer, or if you want something better than what you already have.

I've used E cigs before....
I had the Jany Kissbox.
I liked how it felt pretty real.
Then I tried whitecloud. But I was having an allergic reaction to the juice.
Now I'm looking for a solid easy to use, nice E cig.

I've been using a KR808D-1 for 22 months (since the beginning). Very pleased with it and really not interested in anything else.

The e-cig that is closest in size to a real cig is the KR808, such as the Bloog or V4L.

As far as juice...www.avejuice.com & www.vaperite.com both sell primarily VG juices.

- Looks / Feels Like a real Cigarette.

You're going to get a lot of flak for this one.

Are you two really really really super lite smokers? IMHO The cig look a likes are not good products for heavy smokers. The batteries will not last longer than two hours and the carts are pretty awful tasting and over priced. There are a lot of great options to start with 510, eGo, Riva.....

I think the problem with "it looks like a real cig" is the battery life is kind of dismal just by virtue of it size.

 

[texastumbleweed]

good selection of uices? that's totally separate from hardware..............you can use juices from any vendor on any ecig.
i hear this "want one that looks/feels like a real cig" all the time from newbies....if yall are heavy smokers, the ecigs that are like that will NOT satisfy because of the small weak batteries.
if you want GUARANTEED satisfaction with a PV, i highly recommend the GOGO from CigEasy or Nhaler (the only two suppliers that sell it right now). 60 bucks...very reasonable price for excellent quality, consistent, reliable, easy, hassle free vaping.
for juices, there are many great vendors but i am sold on Tasty Vapor. Geoff is an excellent mixologist. Atomic Cinnacide is my favorite. in 2008 when i started vaping, all i wanted to vape was tobacco flavors................wow have things changed. i rarely ever vape tobacco flavors. but i did find one that is really really good from Kick Bass Vapor..its called Uncle KY Nutty Bacca. yum yum!

I'm seeing that....
My God!!!!
LOL!!
Oh well

I'd take a look at totally wicked's Ego's. Personally, I'd go with a mega system, but they're going to look less like a real cigarette. The battery life, however, is so much better.

 

[Keith210]

WOW!!!!
Some of these people are HARD CORE!! :0)

 

[roxics]

They speak the truth though. E-cigarettes are not comparable to real cigarettes when it comes to size. A real cigarette only needs to last the length of itself.In my picture I have a Riva in my hand. About the size of a small cigar. That's where you want to be for decent performance and battery life.

But back to the "juice" I order a bunch of samplers today from various suppliers. Some with a 50/50 VG/PG mix and other with a 70/30. Still have not found my "everyday" flavor yet but I am enjoying the hunt.

If how it looks is that important, then I would also throw my hat into the Kr808D ring. Not that I know much about them, but they look most like a cigarette, and are a standard, and I cant stress that enough.

Get something standard, not proprietary, something that you can get parts for from a BUNCH of different place.

Battery life, and amount of juice it can carry is related to the size of the unit, realize that, the bigger the unit, the bigger the battery and the more juice it can hold. That is why so many new users end up with an eGo or Riva, however my daughter just got a Joye 510 and LOVES it.

The next step up from a Kr808D size unit would be the Joye 510, which ( now that I have tired it ) is impressive for its small size.

More like a side-step than a step up. The KR808D-1 is the same size as the 510. But outputs a true 3.7v rather than 3.2 like the 510. That said, I started with an 808 and moved to the 510 system because it's just more universal and I liked the way it vaped more.

 

[toto1013]

I use a regular 510 with cartridges, cartomizers, and dripping. The battery life is not that long, but I never have to wait on a battery to charge to vape. Vape with one while the other charges. No big deal.

Keith, I also wanted something to look/feel like a cigarette. I can't be bothered dealing with questions or unwanted attention so I chose a white Joye 510 kit. It came with an auto and manual battery. The auto is as close to a cigarette as you're going to get, especially when you pair it with a good cartomizer. I suggest either Boge or SLB cartos. Don't let the short battery life turn you off. You can buy personal charging cases (PCC) that charges your batteries on the go. I carry one 510 battery with 3 cartomizers in a PCC and this lasts me all day while at work. Then I break out my silver bullet at home =)

If you decide later that it's not enough battery life, there's alot of options/mods that are compatible with the 510 threading, so you can continue to use what you've already purchased.

i use my KR808D1 from Vapor4Life...i just haven't seen the short battery life everyone harps about (unless you're toking on the thing with no pause i simply haven't even come close to draining one in 2 hours!). if it's that big of a deal i have my PCC (which i've used a total of 2 times). you folks must live with your PV in your mouth. oh well, that's one of those things that will vary by user...

anywho...i highly recommend the V4L "Vapor King" kit. good battery life (from my usage anyway), awesome flavors & customer support. plenty of VG offerings in juice, etc.

I was going to tell you the best small ecig is Joye 510 w/ manual batteries (Cignot.com) used w/ Boge standard resistance cartomizers (NiteLiteVapor.com has tan and black ones, the usual ones around are black) but VG? No. I have no idea how to use VG in cartos. VG is usually very thick. You would probably need to thin it. Maybe somebody else can tell you how to do that. if you but auto batteries then I will be giving you FLAK too. A lot of flak. Nice roomy PCC for 510 at NoSmokeVA.com - search there for PCC.

Another choice - Vapor4Life shorty kit w/ manual batteries and buy from their very small selection of VG cartos and juices. Their juices are probably prethinned?

Both of these are thicker than a cig - they are 9.2mm which is the slimmest you will find a decent mini. The downside of the short length is short battery life of 1-3 hours depending on how much you vape so you would need to be near AC or USB most of the time and could use a PCC to charge when you are not.
