Getting ready to buy-how to choose?

[WannaTry]

I have recently begun smoking clove cigars and I simply love them. I smoke 1-2 Djarum blacks a day. However, I've found that they are really beginning to take a toll on my throat. I would like to try out an e-cig as a replacement.

I don't like the smell or taste of traditional cigs, so flavor options are very important to me. My fella is a pack-a-day Marlboro Menthol smoker, and I would love to get him converted over to an e-cig as well. Unfortunately, he tried one of those "Free trials" awhile back with a "Knight Stick" and HATED his e-cig experience. Leaking juice, horrible flavor, all the things you hear about low quality e-cigs. I've convinced him I want one, and that he should try again.

I'm looking at the Vapor King, mostly for it's flavor options. But I'm not terribly happy with the lack of a satisfaction guarantee.

Are there other high quality, yet affordable, e-cigs out there, with a satisfaction guarantee, that I can refill with smoke juice, OR that have lots of flavor options?

Help!

are you talking about the vapor king from vapor4life? thats a kr808 model if thats what your talking about, you can find it cheaper at litecigusa but it's deffinetaly a great starter to get you into e-cigs, i started with a rebranded overpriced kr8. if you really need something cigarette looking thats probably your best bet. that or a joye 510. if your not worried about it looking like a cigarette you can always try a riva or ego, there about as wide as a dime and shorter then a standard cig look alike battery. can get one for about 30-40 bucks at liberty-flights just make sure to click the 20% off coupon at the top to save some cash. as far as flavor goes your options are endless lol. theres ALLOT of sites that sell all kinds of different liquids i would recommend getting some sampler packs or sampler size bottles to see what you like http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ing-recommendations-sampler-pack-eliquid.html this thread has a bunch of sites on it that sell samplers. make sure to an extra battery with your starter kit just incase, and if you go with a cig look alike try and get a pcc ( personal charging case) so you don't get stuck with no battery. i would also reccomend the manual batteries over the auto because you can control your hit allot more and it's allot harder to kill refilling your cart's/carto's with liquid.
and i know this might sound weird but the lack of a satisfaction guarantee is a good thing. allot of sites put outlandish guarantees up about there product to try and sell it. most retailers that you actually wanna buy from will just tell you what it is. general rule is if it makes a health claim, says there carto or cartridge will last a certain amount of cigarettes, says the battery will last all day, then you should stay away from them

+1 what permafrying said exactly. Any of the kits above would be good. I really recommend the Liberty-Flights Riva for $29.99. It's a solid, reliable, cool-looking kit. Juice is of the essence. You'll want to just try all kinds of juices. Don't assume you need tobacco flavored...try some fruits and bakery flavors... VaporBomb.com and Ms T's Bakery Essentials are a couple of good juice vendors for my favorite juices. Check out the suppliers forum for lots of reviews. Remember, taste is very subjective.

Usually the best place to get the hardware is not the same as the best place to get your juices. And as a rule (or at least my opinion) pre-filled anything (carts or cartomizers) is not as good as using your own juice.

another thing to add is just because you don't like tobacco doesnt mean you wont like tobacco flavors, there's a HUGE difference so don't be afraid of them . kamel nobacco from vapor4life for instance has a really good sweet taste. or dekang virginia from madvapes tastes like syrup to me... not really the best thing to vape but mix it with some grape and its gooood

Thank you so much guys! I love that there are so many smoke juice options. I really appreciate all of the input-I'm nervous to put such a startup cost into it with no satisfaction guarantee, but all of the satisfaction guaranteed cigs I can find have a voided warranty if you use smoke juice.

Thanks again for you help! I'll let you know what I think.
