run don't walk away from that site and any other site that charges more than $10 for an atomizer or more than $19 for a battery

horrible - they charge $30 for an atomizer and $40 for a battery

In addition, anything small and slim has the worst hit and the worst battery life

Do your research here in the New Members sticky threads - the videos and the thread with Library in its title which leads to a multi-part guide. We generally buy the good models as their original model names and numbers, for reasonable prices for all parts.

I've never heard of them. It's been my experience that these are the things you need to look out for:

A good starter kit should shouldn't cost more than $50-60
The kit should include at least 2 batteries, atomizers and cartridges or cartomizers, a charger. Some will include a Personal Charging Case (PCC)
Replacement parts should be easy to find and inexpensive. If you have to pay $40 for a battery that looks like a cigarette and $20 or more for atomizers then you should avoid that site/vendor at all costs.

The prices they're charging on that site are completely out of line for what they're selling. You can do much better than that for a lot less money.

If you smoke a half a pack or less per day then you might do well with a KR808 or a 510 model. If you smoke more than that then you might want to consider getting a Riva or an eGo kit.

I doubt anyone wants to try it.

The smallest ecig you ever saw will likely the the weakest most annoying ecig you will ever try

These people did not invent anything. Anything they are selling comes from China like the rest of the slim cylindrical ecigs. But "name" brand rebranders like to choose unpopular models or models incompatible with normal-price similar models. Sometimes they also cripple the carts or cartos in some way to make them harder to refill.

Any place that doesn't sell blank carts or cartos is out to get your money - they want to lock you into them for supplies. You may or may not ever find out what model it really is. And if you do find out, it may be a model only available in lots of 100 or 1000 from a Chinese wholesaler. A small two piece like Colibri may be Chinese wholesaler model E8. or it could be something else.

I started on an M402. I did not get M403 because of the extremely short battery life and because it only comes as auto batteries. Most people here recommend manual batteries. I ended up upgrading the batteries to 401 length and getting a new 401 PCC. It's my weakest ecigarette with the tiniest cartridges. I still use it because when it is working well (which is not all the time) the flavor is good. But when I bought it I knew what it was, I had my choice of vendors, choice of prices, blank carts available etc.

I also started KR8 with shorties. I eventually upgraded to standard but liked the shorties. At least the shorties are 180mah, not 90mah like some super-minis or like the old 3-piece Blu. Not sure what the battery life of the new 2-piece Blu is.

If you want size + performance get Joye 510 and use blank cartomizers. I am using standard Boge soft-cap cartos on 510. 180mah (same as KR8 shorty) but slimmer. Still short battery life but A. You know what it is, B. You can buy parts multiple places for reasonable prices C. Longer life than a 90mah supermini

I just got mine in, and so far I think it is outstanding. I have been through all types of PV's, all the way up to 6v. But for something that comes with a REALLY NICE case, can hold 1 assymbled cig, 1 battery charging, and 4 extra cartomizers, AND fit in your pocket with ease, this thing can't be beat. Currently my main vape is the KR808 (Bloog Maxx Fusion to be exact), but if this thing continues to perform like it is now, I may just make a switch. Will have to wait until I get through a cartomizer and fill it with my fav juice and see how it does.

What I do not like about it, is there are no empty cartomizers you can purchase, this so far is the only downfall I see.

Take some close up pictures of the battery and cartomizer threads, maybe we can identify it so you can find replacement parts cheaper :)

the vapor is warm, not a ton, but acceptable. Its got a 7 second cutoff.
I do not like the hard plastic tips, makes pulling them off harder than the soft tips, but its not terrible either.
I can easily hold this in my lips and be happy, doing so while typing this actually.
Currently vaping the "tobacco" that came with it, not horrible, but not something I would buy. My juices of choice should give a better hit and feel, just have to burn through this one as fast as possible to try my own juice (to lazy to wash out, etc...).
