While I wouldnt order from there at all, but if you had to you should at least get the Vgo kit. Thats an eGo clone thats 3.7V. It has a 510 connection so you could use many different cartomizers and has a 900mah battery that will give you at least 6-7 hours before it needed a recharge. Normally 100mah = 1hr of moderate vaping, but since I feel like your going to be a heavy vaper ud prob get 6-7 hrs on a 900mah battery. The one you got prob only has about a 180mah-300mah.

The vGo would at least be a better start for you, and the funny thing is I just noticed that the vGo is $20 CHEAPER then the one you got! Which makes no sense at all. The vGo kit only comes with 1 battery tho, which is total crap.

Id really suggest you send it back or if you just ordered it call tomorrow and cancel the order, and to be honest I wouldnt order from them at all. I searched thru their whole website and they purposely do not show any threading or tell you what they are. That will force you to have to buy their stuff, which is what they want. Thats total BS. They sell a very basic kit for WAY too much money. There are quite a few ecig makers like this, and all they want to do is make money off you.

You can get one of the kits I mentioned that will be alot better, come with 2 batteries, and will actually be able to keep up with your heavy vaping. AND it would be cheaper.

The reason I got so crazy about it is because I bought my first ecig from a company like that. It was ridiculously expensive and no other cartos would fit on it. And the ones they sold were really expensive. And to top it off it was a piece of crap.
They know they can do this because they know that the people that buy their stuff are new to ecigs and dont know any better. I didnt.
And thats why Im saying all this to you. Im 24 so Im about your age. I didnt find ECF until a few weeks after I made that dumb purchase and then it was too late. You are still at the point where you can cancel the order or send it back and not waste your money, and i HIGHLY suggest you do it!!!

6 packs a day just might have something to do with that.

Still, even at 19 hours a day awake , that's still 1 every 9 minutes.. That's pretty extreme..

Glad you feel you are a success story, reach out if you feel otherwise.

I don't feel as if I crave analogs anymore. I believe it was just the smoking sensation, being able to blow smoke out of my mouth just helps me think, making smoke rings, mushroom clouds, french inhales. I think the smoke just helps me think and clear my head.

I know that if I go outside I'll smoke a real cigarette over the ecig 3 out of 10 times I try to avoid going outside so I just lurk around ecig forums on my computer while I vape, look at other success stories and think to myself "I can do it, I can be that guy." I still get those phantom cravings where you're sitting all alone in your bed or in your car and you can just smell and taste the analog smoke and it feels and sounds like there's a voice in your head just screaming at you "smoke a cigarette already and I'll go away". Sometimes I even get major headaches. I know I need a higher nicotine dosage though, I think that's the reason I still get cravings. It's from all that hookah, haha.

Thank you so much, I'll be calling first thing in the morning, maybe even tonight. Thank you so much once again.

"Returns & Replacements
Revolvercig.com does not offer refunds or returns."

I might be .... out of luck, I'm going to call their hotline and demand they cancel the order, it isn't here yet so it shouldn't count as a return, I hope.

I'm going to go make a phone call and see if I can leave them a message or something.

Thats the thing though, you did find ECF in time. Be glad you didnt do what I did. You dont have to waste alot of money trying to find the right ecig like I did.

Id consider prob going with a tube mod. That is whats really going to give you the battery life your gonna be looking for.
On the cheaper end, and a 3.7V, the E-Power is nice. Thats what I have. Uses non-proprietary batteries and everything is replaceable so it keeps costs down. Youd get 2 batteries with the kit and they are 1050mah. Like I said I get about a day to a day and a half on one, and once you need a new one you just unscrew the switch take out the battery and pop the 2nd one in. Youd never have to worry about running out of battery life because its easy to carry a spare. The E-Power batt is the size of a AA but alittle longer so you can easily carry a spare in your pocket.
You can get it at Crystal Clear Vaping for $57 and you get $25 in free stuff with it.
Free 5-pack of 'Ressurector" Cartomizers, a free 30ml juice of your choice, and free shipping.
Put in "ecf5off" and youll get 5% off your order.
This would give you everything you need to get started.

Or theres some other great tube mods that are affordable and work great too.
The siverbullet is nice, affordable, well made, and you can use different batteries so you could vape at 3.7V or 6V.
The Maxi Roughstack is also nice, well made too and can do the same thing. Use different batteries for different votages.
Roughstack is only about $45 bucks and SilverBullet is tad more expensive, but holds up really well and wont give you problems. Not sure exactly. I know I saw it on one vendor for about $75.

If your willing to spend alittle more, the InfinityPro and Buzz Pro are both super nice and are variable volt. They have a dial where you can easily change the voltage. Work great and will allow you to use really any carto ud like bc you can just dial in the voltage for the perfect vape. IPro is about $100, Buzz Pro is $129, I think

There are also many more and I know someothers will come along and give you some good recommendations that will be MUCH better than the revolver

Goodluck with everything and I hope all of this helps you not make the dumb expensive first ecig purchase that most of us do. And I promise you that if you send that back and go with something I recommended or that someone else recommended youll enjoy vaping SO much more and will give yourself a much better chance of having your own "success story"

And as I can imagine, it should be a hell of a good one. Id love to hear it in a few months:)

Goodluck and welcome to ECF!

Thats total BS. My first one didnt accept returns either. They do that purposely bc they know there product is a piece of crap.
When did you order it? And did it ship yet?

If it didnt ship yet, check whatever acct you paid for it with. If they havent taken the money out yet, stop the payment so it doesnt go thru. Then you can tell them to suck it:laugh:

@Rob Thanks for all that help, and yes, I'd imagine it'd make a great success story too. It could maybe inspire others to finally switch to eCigs as well. Idk, Also, is this the epower you're talking about? Crystal Clear Vaping

@Peezy haha, thanks, I like yours too.

@springfield Yeah, I think I'm gunna do that tank mod. That E-Power is looking beautiful right now. I think I'm gunna get it in black because stainless steel looks like it would get really cold in the winter.. but then again it'll be in my pocket.. hmmm.

Yeah, I think I'm just gunna do stainless steel. Screw it lol.

Yeah thats the E-Power Im talking about. Thats what I use and I love it. I have the black one. Im a pretty heavy vaper and havent had the slightest problem with it. Theirs obviously more expensive and nicer ecigs but for the price and as a starter kit, I think youll really like it. You can replace everything on it if needed, which is nice and youll be able to use a wide array of attys/cartos. I havent used a carto that the E-Power couldnt handle yet. Replacement batteries are really cheap too. They cost only $4 compared to the eGo/Riva/kGo batteries that are $14-20, and they last alot longer before they need to be replaced.
Your going to get a free 5-pack of Ressurector cartos with it. They are awesome and are what I use daily. They are 1.7ohm LR and hold 2ml of juice. They are single coil but produce vapor similar to a dual coil. They hit like a beast on the E-Power. Id recommend getting an extra pack of them. They are totally worth it. Or a pack of Boges, they are popular too. I like the Ressurectors more tho and they hold more juice and are pretty much the same price. And if you get another pack youll get a free syringe to fill them with.(I can post later how to fill them with a syringe) The Ressurectors last a long time before they need to be refilled since they hold 2ml. I think the E-Power with a Ressurector on it will give you just what you are looking for to get off cigs. And it will be a BIG difference than what your using now. Youll also get a free 30ml juice. You can pick whatever one you want. I chose the Black&Mild juice and its really good. Produces a ton of vapor and has a very flavorful tobaccoey maple like taste. I dont think it really tastes like a black&mild but its delicious anyway. You can get whatever juice sounds good to you tho. Remember to put the juice you want with what mg of nicotine in the comment box at checkout. When I ordered mine I asked Andrew(the guy at CCV) which juice he recommended and he said the Black&mild was his favorite and the most popular. And make sure you remember to put in "ecf5off" so you get 5% off the order!

Hope this helped and let me know if the E-Powers what you end up going with

Goodluck!

Their are standard resistance cartos/attys and Low Resistance Cartos/attys.

Standard are normally 2.5-3.0ohms while LR are 1.5-2.0ohm. The lower the resistance the warmer the vape will be. Also the LR ones will provide more throat hit. Many people really like the LRs. They simulate High Voltage vaping.

The Ressurectors are 1.7ohm LR.

Their are also single coils and dual coils. A dual coil has 2 coils and will create more vapor. Many people like them but they do drain your battery quicker.

Are the cartos your talking about the ones from CCV?

A 3.0ohm carto will give you a cooler vape while a 2.0ohm carto with give you a warmer vape and more throat hit.

I figure the 15-pack of cartosyour talking about for $32 and free shipping are the Dual Coils from CCV.

I would start will single coils first and then maybe try dual coils later. Dual coils are more expensive. Learn how to really use cartos first and then experiment with different ones. In case you mess up using them, it would be better to ruin a cheaper one than a more expensive one when your starting out. If you do want to try a dual coil I would maybe just get one. You can buy singles on CCV

The Boges are really popular cartos and many people use the 2.0ohm ones.

If your going to get another pack I would either get the 2.0ohm Boges or another pack of the Ressurectors.

Both are nice cartos and work well. I just like the Ressurectors more because they produce a LOT of vapor and hold more juice than the Boges.
But the Boges are really nice too and work great.

If your going to get an extra pack of cartos your going to get a free syringe. So you dont necessarily need to get the extra syringes. I have been using the same syringe to fill all my cartos for months. Instead of putting $5.95 toward that Id think it would be a better bet to get an extra switch instead for $9.50. Thats up to you tho. Im still on my original switch and havent had any problems with it but its def not a bad thing to have an extra of just in case

Oh and also I dont know what Ressurectors you picked but I wouldnt get the clear ones. Or if you do, only get one pack. The clears are plastic and can crack and leak. The black and Stainless Steel ones are metal and hold up aLOT better. The clears are also ever so slightly larger in diameter because of the plastic and dont give as good airflow with the cone on. They do fit, but barely.
