Help New Ecig User!!!

My first introduction to E Cigs was at the Smoking Everywhere kiosk in the mall near my house. It was a terrible experience, the salesmen was very pushy, and when I tried it, I had to inhale 10x as hard as I would a regular cigarette to get a tiny bit of vapor to come out. It was terrible, but I loved the concept of a cigarette you could smoke everywhere and get you off of regular cigarettes. So I've been doing a bit of research and need some opinions. I keep reading nothing but good things about the Joye 510, but I was wondering what the njoy NPro is like. I'd much prefer a device that looks like a cigarette, but also something that has a fair battery life, good vapor, and durable.
Also! Is heaven-gifts.com a reliable site to order from?

Rule of Thumb: the more it looks like the real thing, the worse the performance and reliability.

I STRONGLY suggest you stick with a manual PV such as the 510 or the MANUAL DSE901. Their only drawback is the short battery life (about 2 hours). If you want long battery life and better throat hit, you have to move to the premiere PV's (personal vaporizers)

The Npro is an RN4081 auto battery and the same as the Smoke EveryWhere. There are more frustrating posts about that device than any other except the infamous Blu.

Stick with the manual batteries unless you are a very, very light smoker/vapor. If you only inhale once an hour, then even SE or Blu would probably be OK.

Note: Ruyan/Heavens Gifts is a good supplier.

Cost is one huge obstacle to buying some of the wonderful new battery devices on the market. New vapers cannot fathom why they should pay $100 or more for a battery pack, another $30 for a few atomizers and another $20 on e-liquid. Well, once you have gone through the journey and realize you spent $200+ trying several different devices, you realize that the upfront cost of a Super T1, AdapteveR or Screwdriver was a pretty good deal.

While I agree with the above forum members, I also think it is important to learn why they are correct. Take the long journey toward finding your ultimate vaping device(s), try different devices and e-liquids and keep a mental note of what you liked and disliked about each one as a reference for your next purchase. Experiencing the basic frustrations with vaping equipment is a fantastic teacher.

M401 is a basic cigarette-looking device. Easy to use and understand. Starter kits available for under $40. Pickup a USB passthrough with the kit so you can vape anywhere you have a USB port available and save your batteries for out and about. I bought a 401 kit last month for backup from VaporStuff. Rocky Mountain Vapor is another good source for these, too.

The 510 with charging pack is wildly popular. Though I have not tried one myself, I defer that recommendation to those who have them. Since it uses a manual button to control the length of thime the atomizer is powered, I can infer that it will create good vapor production and enhanced feeling of throat hit.

And we have not even touched on high-voltage vaping. Leave that for another time.

Ruyandirect.com, by the way, is a very good supplier.

while i would recommend the 510/dura myself you can satisfy your curiosity about the njoy beginning 8/15 for 10 bucks at the pilot t/s. it looks like they will have a throw away version for sale then.

Another vote to avoid autos and go manual. 510 is a good start in my expeience and with others that I know that have purchased them. The personal charger case, PCC and a passthrough which has a usb hook up, helps on saving battery changes.

I'm still partial to the 801 for battery life and producing a good amount of vapor. My wife uses the 510 after using the 901, I think the 510 is the best vapor producer of the small size e-cigs. Manual is defiantly the best battery, you can get more vapor from controlling the power to the atomizer better. If size matters I would vote for the 510, if size doesn't matter I still think the 801 is great. Eventually you will learn the in's and out's and, most likely, go with one of the personal vaporizer battery packs you will hear the members rave about. I have a passtrough and a USB that plugs into the cigarette lighter on the car, I never use the cigarette lighter any more thank's to e-cigs! Anything you can do to save your batteries for only on the go vaping works best.

I could agree with that as well. My janty stick uses the 801 and it is nice! And manual of course unlike the 801.

I thought I wanted one that looked like a cig too...then the reality hit! Not only are they not as good, but it's when I have those that people verbally attack me for smoking where I shouldnt be. My next was an 801, nobody really cares if I suck on a pen.
But my new addiction of buying more and more ecigs led me to the 510, which is now my favorite. Just keep in mind that looking like an analog isn't always the most convenient.

Thanks guys i'll really keep all of that in mind :]

I have to agree that a PV with a manual switch is the way to go.

I started my PV venture at a mall kiosk and paid WAY too much. But I had never heard of e-cigs at the time and got it on impulse. I really liked it (enough to quit analogs) but the auto switch kept driving me nuts. It would think I was dragging more than its allowed 5 seconds and give me that annoying ten-blink 'overuse' signal almost every time.

So I started researching, found this forum, and decided to go with the 510. I fell in love immediately. The manual switch provided exactly what I wanted.

I've since bought a Prodigy from PureSmoker. And, I have to admit, it blows the 510 away. I still use the 510 for my 'going out' PV. But for home use, I use my Prodigy exclusively. My only reservation about using the Prodigy in public is that it is almost too far visually removed from a real cig. It looks like a screwdriver or mag-lite flashlight from a distance. But the vapor is incredible; I look like a fog machine. So I'm afraid it might raise a few more eyebrows than my 'almost cig-looking' 510. Plus, it doesn't fit as nicely in my shirt pocket.

(If PureSmoker develops a PV with a much smaller footprint but with similar performance, I'm all over it.)
