Sorry about your problem. The whole upper seedy crust of ecig rebranders are all about having you buy as much stuff as possible from them at jacked up prices.

Rule of thumb -

Don't buy any ecig unless you know what Chinese model it really is, whether that is a good and compatible model, what it should cost, and where else you can get parts and supplies for it

What we pay for slim ecig parts - we pay about $7 for atomizers, $12-18 for batteries. We refill carts or cartomizers with eliquid. Most of us buy manual batteries that are almost sealed or totally sealed against being damaged or killed by juice leaks.

Many of us use cartomizers (combined disposable cart and atomizer in one piece which holds more juice) which are a continuing expense but every one is a fresh atomizer inside and they cost about $2 apiece ($3 of prefilled). I can get a week's use out of one by adding eliquid several times per day and keeping it damp so it doesn't singe.

The slim ecigs we use are generally 9.2mm thick, a bit thicker than a cigarette, but all decent slim models are a bit thicker than a cigarette.

For me, one cart is equal to about 2 packs of analogs, maybe more. Seriously, 1 cart lasts 2 days or longer. Whereas, I smoked a pack a day, every day, sometimes more towards the end.

Does anyone have a similar experience?

One Boge carto lasts me a good week .. sometimes 10 days ..

I got 3 weeks out of a Boge once but that was pushing it.

Look at these models (and I recommend manual batteries for all)

KR808D-1 (a 2-piece) - two styles:
SmokelessImage Volt
Vapor4Life.com
The Volt manuals are better sealed but have a very tiny partially recessed button. I recmommend the standard aka 78mm size which makes 120mm long ecig for good battery life of 280mah or more. The short/65mm size holds a bit more than 1/2 the charge.

Also go to Liberty-Flights.com (press their 20% off upper left front page) or LiteCigUSA.net and look at Joye 510 w/ manual batteries. This is a 3-piece. Short battery life 180mah. Most use this with blank cartomizers by Boge or others. Since it is a 3-piece it has few prefilled cartomizers. If you want something that looks like a ciagrette, a white Joye 510 manual w/ red/orange LED can be used with white or tan Boge standard resistance cartomizer blanks from NiteLiteVapor.us and will look like a cigarette. I instead use thew black manual batteries w/ blue LED and black Boge cartos. The Joye 510 Mega xl manual batteries are very nice and 280mah (60-70% more charge than the small ones) but are long (128mm w/ a cartomizer).
