Hi everyone!

I'm new to the forum and am about to purchase my first e-cig! Just creeping around the forum doing my research before I purchase!

 

[Mroutlaw]

What are you looking for? Are you looking for a look-a-like or s larger device?

I'm thinking about a look-a-like but I don't want one the colour of a cigarette...don't want people looking at me strangely while I smoke indoors haha. I'm thinking about the Happy 510.

Welcome to ECF. There's a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge here. Unless you already know exactly what you want, might want to give a little info on what your priorities are for an e-cig, the just sit back and take in all the recommendations that will quickly come your way.

Most of us here started with the cig look-alikes. They are a great intro into vaping. But just know their limitations. Most, but certainly not all, quickly move to something with much better battery life and better juice delivery systems.

Ok, if you want a look-a-like, or mini, the only way to go is the volt from smokeless image. The volt has a great battery life, the cartos are inexpensive and last a long time, the come in a variety of colors and their customer service is second to none. With all of the orders I have placed with SI, every one has been at my door within 2-3 days with standard shipping. They take care of any problems immediately.

If you go with the volt, get the pro starter kit. It comes with 2 batteries, a pcc (for charging on the go) and a pack of cartos. Also, spend the extra $1 to upgrade to 78mm batteries, they have 50% more battery life than the 65mm. With the carto attached, they are about the size of a 100size cig. You can use he promo code "sivolt50" for 15% off.

I want to eventually replace smoking cigarettes with just smoking the e cig but I'm experiencing the problem of being Canadian. So for now, until I can figure out where to get the nicotine juice, I'm going to get an ecig with the nicotine free cartridges and probably smoke that in my car while driving instead of real cigs and see if that helps me start to cut back on smoking. I also work in a lab so I have no problems with mixing up my own juice once I get my hands on the nicotine.

By the way, if you ask around, most veterans who don't even like mini's will recommend the volt. Also, their cartos Are refillable for about 20-30cents

Can I order from American Vendors as long as there is no nicotine juice I'm ordering?

 

[gillard]

Also, has anyone ever tried the Happy 510 from Happy Vaper?

Welcome to the board Gillard Many of us here started out with cigarette look-alikes....which promptly morphed into a whole plethora of shiny vaping devices! Lol! Pull up a chair and get comfortable! The people here are incredible and there's so much to learn and see here.

i have seen sevrel canadian juice companys that you can order from online. and my advice about the look alike would be to buy a cheep one. then use better carts than the ones they try to sell you. get them from a good vender online unless you have a local vapor shop. and i say to buy cheep becouse the standard look alike 510 batts dont last vary long and you will end up eather buying 3 or 4 of them so you always have one charged or going to something like the ego t 1000mh batt. "that's what happend to me" and let me tell ya.... i didnt know vapeing till i got rid of the cheep carts and got a good batt. best of luck and welcome to the wonderfull world of vapor

Hello there an welcome. /wave

 

[SpyderBite]

Welcome! Lots of choices so don't settle for your first choices. I have an army of abandoned batts, cartos & juices laying around from when I first started.

Look alike styles are small and convenient but not an all day vape. After going with a mod with higher volts, and clouds of vapor, the cig lookalikes just sit on a shelf. But it helped me take that first step!

There are lots of nic and no nic juice options available from Canadian vendors as well. Any particular reason you want/need to order from the states? The import fees and taxes may get a bit high.

An Echo/Ego style pv is a good happy medium between size & function. I roll w/ an Echo dual coil carto & 1100 batts. Still fits in my pocket & I don't have to change batts or cartos more than once a day as a heavy vaper.
