Hello from Canada!

Thank you all!
I bought myself a Joyetech eroll while i was in Florida last month. Haven't been smoking since! Its been 5 weeks!
I like the eroll, it's nice and small, seems to give me good clean hits (but I have nothing to campare it to), and the charging pack is handy if I'm out.

However, I have a couple of big issues with the system...
The PPC although nice, only has a spot for the completed ecig to put away while charging. Charging takes about 35mins...
So here's the scenario: I start to nic-out and go to take a pull on my ecig and in the middle of my puffing session, the battery dies! So now I have to put the ecig in its case and wait 35mins to satisfy my uncomfortable cravings. I must admit, this has forced me to intake less nicotine; so I guess there are some benefits!

Also, the tanks are cool, a little difficult to fill through the small hole, but I like monitoring how much juice I am using/have left. BUT after a couple of refills of the tank, the seal around the atomizer and the tank seems to get worn loose, and then the thing starts to leak while its resting in the PPC. Not too badly, just a little juice coming from the seam where the thank connects to the ecig.
My final issue is that the PPC has no space to carry an extra battery and some extra tanks while i'm out on the go.
Anyway, I'm starting to get fed up and I'm looking for a new system.

I have read hours worth of posts, and I have heard the many arguments for upgrading to a device with a larger battery. I'm still not sold however. What I like most about my eroll is it's size similarity to analogs. It doesn't look too out of place when I'm smoking it in my car, or on the street, the cig and it's PPC fit well in my pocket, and it just feels more natural; which is helping me not miss my cigarettes.
I have been looking at a Joyetech 510-T system that they have at canvape. The tanks seem like they will be similar to my eroll (i hope they wont leak!).
What do you think about this system?
They have a Joyetech 510 PPC that I thought might solve my PPC issues too! Although it doesn't seem too attractive...and I can't tell from the pictures if it will hold the tanks very well...
Also, there is a cheaper version on the canvape site that seems to be a generic version. It also appears to boast better batteries (180mah over the Joyetech's 150mah). Not sure which one I should chose... I like saving money, but then again, I have had bad experience vith generic things sometimes... I don't want the battery to blow up in my face or something crazy like that!. I don't know why (or if) I should trust the Joyetech name over the generic, but I for some reason I feel I trust Joyetech better.
Any thoughts?
 
welcome to ECF. a great place to be apart of. Congrats on ditching the cigs! canvape has been excellent for me both in helping with questions I've asked as well as their support and customer service being top notch. happy vaping!

Ya, I'm pretty impressed with canvape, they seem to have really reasonable prices and a good selection, my only issue is i cant find any nicjuice...any suggestions or ideas where i can find some in Canada? do i have to sign up to canvape's site somehow?
 
Hello!
Im from Canada too, I just need a few more posts before I can post in the Canada forum. I ordered my first set of supplies from vancityvapor.com but now I use canvape. They have great prices and are located in my city.

vancityvapor.com seemed pretty good too, but again, no nicotine! Am i going to have to order my nicjuice from south of the border? is there duty charged on that sort of stuff? Where can I find my nicotine?? Im running low on juice...

Congrats on ur choice -- the great eRoll !

It's indeed the ultimate in all cig-a-likes. Give it a bit more time, read the below replies/way-arounds, and u'd start to love it, I definitely do... and it's my only & main system... I'm actually flaunting it! And oh, good job there for those 5-healthy weeks!

1) The PCC has been made that way. It complements the eRoll that we carry around. It's an extender... and my-o-my, what an extender it is... and what a form-factor both put together! Said that, as with anything in the globe, our eRoll isn't flawless, but its pretty close to being one - in that micro package. And if we pull-in the 'work-arounds' - it makes a great package/buy.

What the first thing that we need to do after (or while) buying the eRoll is to also purchase one extra Atomizer Cone. This is b'coz the kit only contains one (a panning folly I'd say), and for having two full/complete eRolls (which is a must to have) we need to have another Atomizer Cone (uh, the missing link). It costs $2 and it's a buy we MUST do (click THIS).

So, if we have two of the eRolls... one always stays in the PCC, fully charged, while the other dangles in our lips(!). We just need to exchange each other from time to time, which'd keep both on the firing-line! And thus, we'd never find ourselves w/out a puff.​

2) A next must have is at least one more pack of the the Tank Cartridges. Note that the kit contains a total of three, one goes into the completed 'main' eRoll, another would go into the 'second' eRoll (which u'd complete by buying that 'cone') and u'd now be left with just one more tank, which is insufficient. So, if we buy another set, it comes in a 5 x pack and costs just $3.49, see HERE, it'd be handy.

We could then carry 6 x pre-filled cartridges; and that'd see the end of the day for most vapers, does for me, and I'm a heavy one. Besides, we'd then avoid carrying a bottle of e-Juice, which might be unsightly. And also avoid filling the tanks out-of-home, which could be irksome, though not difficult.

As reg. "filling those carts" -- we could pull-out the bottom cap of the tanks easily and refill them thru the drip-tip of the juice bottles directly. We don't require additional pointy/needled drippers. That's the good part of the eRoll design. KISS (Keep It Simple & Straight). If we do things correctly, there's no way that there'd be leakage... I haven't one till date.​

3) There r many ways we could carry the extra Tank Cartridges... the usual 'pill-boxes' r one, like HERE. I for one, carry my extra carts in empty Tic Tac boxes.

4) Once we have the eRoll we really don't need to look elsewhere. It's pretty much future-proof as of now. Unless, of course we r thinking of / looking at Mods. Which, for a moderate erstwhile smoker is an unnecessary evil. No, I'm not against it, I believe an eGO-C (or Twist) is a nice Mod to start with, but for all practical purposes our eRoll does the trick pretty well, as well. And is so inconspicuous on the road! I'd not want a Sci-Fi device in my hands while out-of-home. Not when I'm getting the same TH, the same amount of vape and the same satisfaction (as I was used to while smoking those Benson & Hedges) thru my eRoll.

BTW, that option of a 510 starter kit is a no go. Our eRoll is much advanced already... a next step forward to that 510 setup. And the eRoll PCC is a design marvel. the only one till date which takes-in a "complete" e-Cig. Note, all other PCCs just take dismantled batteries.. the cartos being removed and kept elsewhere, even if it's inside a compartment of the same PCC. While with the eRoll PCC > we just vape > place it inside > take-out and vape again... so convenient, isn't it?

The only thing which we could look for, later off course, is a minimalistic Mod, like the eGo-C-Twist, or the Vision-Spinner, or a step advanced Vamo-VV/VW. But then, that'd be for the home. I'd think twice to sport it outside and explaining all the world what I was doing!

I hope I made some sense.

Hi and welcome to ECF.
I have been looking at a Joyetech 510-T system that they have at canvape. The tanks seem like they will be similar to my eroll (i hope they wont leak!).
The Joyetech 510-T "tank" system is the very first but now outdated "tank" system available to vapers- much the same as the eRoll tank system. It is prone to leaks. With any mini ecig battery batt life has always been an issue. You'd be happier using ether cartomizers (atomizer/ element and juice container in one piece) or the Nano 2.2 ohm Clearomizer- specifically made for 510 cig sized PVs. May not fit your eRoll.
https://www.canvape.com/product-p/vnano.htm
Realize the 510 only fires at 3.4 volts while the eRoll fires at 3.7 volts- that's the big attraction of the eRoll.

I don't know why (or if) I should trust the Joyetech name over the generic, but I for some reason I feel I trust Joyetech better.
JoyTech originally manufactured the eGo for the inventor of the eGo- Janty- they parted ways a few yrs ago. eGo is now known as a class/ style of PV. As far as knockoffs there are good ones and bad ones. Some knockoffs are actually superior to the genuine/ original version- some not. Some of these "knockoff" companies are large and reputable...bottom line I am not brand loyal but instead use the gear that has proven itself to be best.
Examples re: brand loyalty and knockoffs
JoyTech eGo fires at 3.3 volts while the Riva/ Kgo fires at 3.7 volts. Both manufactured by large and reputable companies.
Vision- love their Vivi Nova but hate their clearomizers.
Kgo- love the Kgo but hate the Kgo VV
Smok Tech- love their cartos but hate their clone Vivi Novas.

Edit: If this post is a clear as mud understand I had surgery earlier so I'm a lil' :confused:

I hope I made some sense.

Thank you for your detailed response! ...and sorry for my disorganized writing:unsure:
I'm glad that i managed to pick up one of the 'good ones' as my first non-disposable vape. I do like it, it sure does look nice, it's just that there are a few simple things missing that I believe could improve it. I wasn't aware that you could pick up another atomizer cone. That really is something that they should have thrown into the package, as it is just a simple metal collar that must cost Joyetech next-to-nothing and would likely have given their customers a much better experience. When I saw the second battery in the package, I thought to myself "Now what am I supposed to do with this extra battery? They must burn out quickly..."
So the atomizer cone is a semi workaround, but then I'd just have nowhere to put the 2nd ecig when I'm on the move.. I think the PPC would have been awesome if they had included a place to store both the spare battery (while charging) AND the completed ecig. I wouldn't mind carrying the tanks around separately...The tictac case is a good idea.
I am almost tempted in this case to just buy a 2nd PPC...Then I would have TONS of spare charge, a place to store my cigs, and always a fresh bat. Only problem then would be having 2 cases in my pocket, but I have to say I would prefer that to having a loose smoke around all the time.
...haha...loose smoke... still working on adapting my lingo:oops:

I did buy some extra tanks and atomizers when I got the unit, and I'm glad I did. 2 of my atomizers have burnt out already, and well, as I said, the tanks once used for several fills seem to start to leak. I am aware of the trick to pull off the cap of the tanks for filling, but the guy who sold it to me told me that it is best to use this pointy plastic tip that he gave me to replace on the top of the juice bottle, that allows me to fill through the little hole. He said to avoid removing the cap as the tanks tend to leak after, since the cap never goes on as well again. Could leaking possibly be a common issue with the tanks and the salesperson was just relieving their remorse by warning me that the carts may leak sometimes? I thought I was avoiding the leaking by filling them with the pointed cap, but I did notice that the instructions mention that the tanks should not be pulled on and off to often, and get worn out over time. I am pretty sure I am filling them properly, but maybe you could be more clear how I could avoid the leakage? because after 3-4 fills, the tanks start to leak...I'm on my 5th tank...could get expensive. It does seem that the tanks leak less with 100%VG, but when i put the cig back in the PPC, and leave it in my warm pocket, the next time I take it out, there's a small amount of juice on the outside of the cig and in the well of the PPC, where the completed ecig is stored...oh and the ecig is hard to pop out of the PPC; the button doesn't work that well I find...

...and not to be disrespectful, you have been very helpful; but do you work for Joyetech or something? you seem very positive on the Joyetech products...also, you keep saying OUR eroll...
Please forgive me if you do not...I have been accused of being paranoid before...but there does seem to be an infestation of one-sided information on ecigs all over the internet. It seems really hard to read through all the sales pitches and get to some real, unbiased opinions.
