important question

[speedpicker88]

I'm sure ya'll have probably heard this question a million times on this forum. I have been visiting here for probably about a month and learned a bit about all the different types of E cigs. Well I also got caught up in the madness of Blu and ordered on June 7th. They "shipped" almost two weeks ago and today I got an email saying the shipment was delayed due to their stock being delayed. So I am going to cancel my order and move to something else, but the question is, what?
I am a menthol smoker and I am basically looking for a starter kit obviously juice is an optional method for me seeing as I'm still new to E cigarettes. I am looking for something that has good value for the price, produces a good if not large amount of vapor, has a good throat hit to it, and has a decent battery life and is convenient to charge and carry on me.
I've heard a lot of good things about the 501 and the EVO. But I am done with Blu. Can anybody here please help me on purchasing a good E cigarette?
Thanks for the help.

Can you tell us about your cigarette usage. Brand and # of packs/day? THis is important because some units are not the best for heavy usage and we can tell you enits to steer clear of............

How much do you smoke?
How much do you want it to look like a normal cigarette?
Do you think you would mind pushing a little button to activate the battery?

I smoke Kools, about a pack every 3 days. I would like it to look like a real cigarette if possible, but color is not an issue. And I would like to have it where I just suck in and the battery activates as such.

actually taking a look at that model, it doesn't look too bad and it seems to have good review, I will keep that model in cosideration

Sounds like you're kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place then.

In general, the more it looks like a cigarette, the worse the battery life and performance.
And if you want good throat hit and lots of vapor, you might need to consider pushing a button.

Other than that, you might get enough of what you are looking for out of the M401 (EVO) model.
I have never tried one so I can't say for sure.

Looking for the following...
1) Good throat hit
2) Lots of vapor
3) Good battery life
4) Not pushing a button
5) Looking more like a cigarette

That's a tough list of criterion to meet.
I think we would all buy that one if we could find it.


There are so many different models because there are various tradeoffs.

So if I am understanding, you smoke about 10 cigs a day.

With that low usage almost any unit from a reputable supplier will work for you. I understand what you are saying about the automatic battery, but trust me when I say that you stand a better change of longer unit life and a more satisfying experience with a manual battery.

However, if you want an automatic, I would say your basic DSE 901 would work just fine for you. For the manual battery, I would recommend the 510.

It has been awhile since I have purchased a 901, so I am not sure of the best price and warranty, someone can make a recommendation on that. For a 510, I only get mine from Widows Bead Work - Home $50 include free priority shipping.

I don't use menthol, so I will leave that for some who does to point you in the right direction.

Good Luck!

thanks for the info guys. I think I will give the 510 a try actually. Manuel battery sounds the way to go the way its being put. Mind leaving me some links of reputable 510 dealers?
Really appreciate the help everyone

I'd say these are all pretty much reputable...

But everyone has their favorite supplier.

I saw Eastmall has manual 901 kits now (sealed batteries)

901 Manual Starter Kit - Black - e-Cigs Mini e-Cig DSE901 901 - Manual - Eastmall International Co.,Ltd

and they are supposed to be getting a pcc done for them soon as well.

I really enjoy my 901, but I've not purchased from them before. People seem to be generally pleased with their products and service from what I've seen.
