I'm very interested in getting some kind of E-cig and I feel like I've been reading posts for a week! Can someone please tell me which product would be best for me...This is what I'm looking for:

-Realistic cigarette look
-Good battery life
-Reasonable starter kit price
-Yummy flavors
-Decent amount of smoke
-Bacteria free
-Simplicity

Am I dreaming? Or is there a product out there that meets my needs? I am in the US and looking to spend no more than $100. Please give me your expertise! Thanks so much!

yup that's the one that has been evading us. as elusive as the holy grail - go back to sleep.
(there are a few contenders though)

have a look at ecigsales.com. They've got 2 that have a realistic cigarette look. They each have notes on their performance. one has a short battery and one has a long battery. Any e-cig can be a very tempermental device. For a reliable and good performing unit, check out a model DSE901 at puresmoker.com, thesmokelessshop.com and any other online retailer listed in the supplier's list. It seems to be the standard e-cig that EVERYONE owns or has owned.

just thought, you can get a 401 that looks like a cigarette. i have read some good reviews but never tested one myself.

Great info...I like that one. Thanks for your help.

thesmokelessshop.com has a good starter kit for less than $80 and is a workhorse. You can get the white one and it will look kinda like a normal smoke. A bit long but close. All DSE901 type mini's are a good item for any e-smoker to have in their collection.

-Realistic cigarette look
-Good battery life

the first two items on your wish list contradict each other immensly.

Get a small cigarette sized e-cig and battery life is abysmal.
Get a big batteried e-cig and it's looks nothing like a real ciggie.

A good comprimise would be a dse-901 'mini' always a winner for your first e-cig purchase. many e-cig old timers still use them.

I agree with the previous poster - if you want decent battery life, you should go with a size bigger than a sigarette. I got myself a penstyle because I preferred it that it did not look like a cigarette, but mainly because I wanted durable carts and batteries. Most people who have a DSE901 are very happy with it (that's sort of mid-size), so you should probably follow the advice of those who recommended it.
As for where to buy it, check out the suppliers list. I bought from Puresmoker, Janty, and e-smokey treats. All excellent sellers, and great customer service. Janty does not have dse901s (but will soon have a "mini-fogger"), but both Puresmoker and e-smokey treats do. The latter has a longer warranty. You should, however, check out all the US sellers to see what they offer.

I've got the 901 starter from thesmokelesshop.com and also bought a penstyle from puresmoker.com....(Still trying to convince myself to buy a screwdriver and not try to make something myself...lol)....Anyway....901 hits harder it seems...penstyle lasts longer and is smoother to me......I don't think you'll go wrong with either and certainly no problems with either seller.
