Hi all,

Never vaped in my life. I just ordered an NPRO Wednesday, paid for next day shipping and it still hasn't arrived. So I'm already soured on the experience.

Reading the forums, I've already learned that I didn't make the best choice.

My question is simple. What, in your opinion, is the best e-cig to purchase, combining cost, refill cost, etc.? I care less about the appearance or the length, so that's not an issue. My only real concern is the refill cartridge cost. I do not want to pay the njoy refill costs.

Right now, after some research, I was leaning towards purchasing the pen style at puresmoker. Is that a mistake?

There's a poll on this forum for peoples favorite PV. The DSE901 seems to be the favorite. Don't get too bummed out about your Npro. It's not the best ecig out there IMO, but it will still do the job. It was my first ecig and although I liked it, I learned real fast that Njoy's claim that a catridge equals about half a pack of cigs is just plain bull. I'm lucky to get more than 40 puffs from one before I have to refill. Which brings me to a second point: buy some eliquid, your going to need it. Prefilled cartridges are a rip - especially at Njoy's prices. If you decide on a second PV, the 901 (or RN4075) is a great choice - I like mine better than my penstyle (801). Happy vaping!

I started out with an Npro and still use it on occasion. The only problem with it is that it doesn't hold a lot of liquid in the carts. I still think it's a good device for what it is. You'll probably like it but still want a little "more".

I also have an 801 type penstyle which holds a lot more fluid and is also a nice device. I have dealt with puresmoker and recommend them! They have some nice tasting juice.

That being said, I have a 510-c (Same as yeti, titan, dura, etc.) and it is super. About the only thing I don't like is that there is no USB passthrough availabe for it...yet.

Good luck!

Everyone has their favorite. You'll have to find yours. I have the NJOY, and love it. You may not. There is *NO* cartridge that lasts as long as the suppliers say. I'm refilling mine. It's the only way to go as far as I'm concerned. Battery life will depend on how often you vape.

Make the most of your new NJOY, keep reading and researching. You'll find your favorite in time.

While it has a higher initial cost......the ongoing costs are less so I would recommend a Screwdriver.................

Thanks for the help. Looks like I'll go with a 901. At least with that, and NPRO I paid for and have not received, I'll have a frame of reference.

Is Puresmoker a reliable source of a 901?

Puresmoker is one of the better suppliers. The only problem with them is, they're so popular, they're always out of stock. Check them daily, and when you see the item you want, grab it fast. It most likely won't be there the next day.

Thanks all. Ordered my NPRO on the 15th, paid a ton of money for next day shipping, and have not received it. Haven't even been sent a shipping confirmation email. I'll let you know how it goes when I get my product.

make sure you have them reimburse you the next day shipping fees...or the shipping fees altogether....

that is surely not fair to pay extra for that and not get it.

if not...lesson learned and move on to a more reputable supplier

LOL...That's why I ordered from NJOY themselves. As high profile as they are, I figured they were about as reputable as you can get. And you bet I will get those fees back.

NPro = rn4081 is not a bad e-cig. Surely there's better ones out there, but I love my rn4081, especially when I connect it to usb pass-throughs.

Today, I was away from home, and had limited pocket - so I just packed a couple rn4081 batteries, and few cartridges in small ziplock. Although the vapor production is rather weak, but I do get strong flavor in my mouth and some throat hits as well. But when I got home, I just connected to a USB.... and wham!!! :D Great flavor, great throat hit, and great vapor production.

I also ordered Npro, but I had to wait for 10+ days... and after they failed to ship it on their originally promised date, I just canceled it. There was no problem at all - so you might want to do that and spend the money on some good juice and extra atomizer.
