So I have been smoking Marlboro lights for 15 years. I have quit twice for over a year and always started back by hanging out with smokers. I can't avoid them because my entire extended family smokes. I am looking fir an e-ciggerette I can casually puff on while hanging out with my family, at a bar, the golf course, etc... after I quit. I'm not looking for Nicotine but rather just the sensation. I would like a decent battery for long nights and preferably a smaller "real cigarette" like experience. Please suggest brands with pros, cons, price, & where to purchase. Thank you SO much!!!

...we were all looking for a "real" cig look with long battery life...they don't really exist...the ciggie look alikes are smaller and have smaller batts...good for 1-3hrs... an eGo/Riva will give ya around 8hrs...my present recommendations are as follows...goto Liberty Flights ,click the 20%discount button on the top left of page...scroll down to starter kits>>>Riva501>>>Riva501 Lite Bundle...this is an excellent starter kit for 30bux...you can shop for liquid while there as well...after that, goto Crystal Clear Vaping and get a bundle of LR Boge2.0 cartos...this will get ya started with a pretty good setup............

+1 for madjack's suggestion. I'd get juice from a good juice vendor though. There are great suppliers on ECF. Rule of thumb is buy juice from juice suppliers and hardware from hardware suppliers.

Popular juice suppliers (check out their threads in the supplier's forum)
KickBassVapor.com (known for their expert flavor layering; Legions of fans)
AVEjuice.com (Alien Visions Ejuice - known for their very popular Boba's Bounty and Gorilla Juice)
BackWoodsBrew.net (Known for their tobacco flavors like RY4, Backo, Casablanca and others)
Gourmet Vapor (Known for getting to blend-your-own juice and their 50% off sales. They have one going on now. Coupon code to use at checkout: vapefest

There are many others in the ECF supplier's forum. Welcome and happy vaping!


Get the smallest sizes you can to start.

You could get Joye brand 510 manuals and I recommend you use them with Boge standard resistance cartomizers for your favorite thin juices. About 100mm long with a carto but short battery life of 180mah. very nice PCC at NoSmokeVA. I recommend manuals only - fully sealed threaded end, safe from being damaged or killed by cartomizer leaks, and manuals make it easier to tget a good hit. NiteLiteVapor.us carries the 3 colors of Boge standard resistance (around 3 ohms) cartomizers.

At home you could use a Riva 510 from Liberty-Flights.com (press the 20% off upper left front page before shopping - the lower prices will be shown). Their Riva 510 kits are 3.7v (unlike Ego and many other Rivas and other Ego clones) so they will get more heat out of those standard resistance cartos and optionally can use the hotter LR cartomizers (like Boge 2.0 ohm). Label the Riv charger on both sides of the screw in part so you don't accidentally put the slim battery in it (it will slowly or quickly damage slim batteries)

Non-510-compatible alternative for the slim model would be a KR808D-1 (see vapor4Life or SmokelessImage Volt and I recommend manuals). With an adapter you could put these cartos on the 3.7v Riva. The KR808D-1 has more hit with the same juice vs the slim 510. (I use Vapor4Life WOW cartomizers)

Other options for the big model would be a 3.7v mod like E-Power or other 3.7v mods

In cartomizers I use thin juices - 20% or less VG, and I void juices that seem to drop a lot of carto-clogging flavoring sediment,
