In Need of New Vendor Advice...

[seadog]

Hi Guys... I haven't visited in forever, but remain analogue-free since May, 2011. I've been using Intellicig's product, to include "rich-blend" cartridges and an atomizer. They're going to cartomizers only which I enjoy less (so far), but that's not the major issue. The biggest pain is receiving defective batteries and/or USB charging devices. I do not wish to spend an hour in maintenance to enjoy 30 minutes of vaping.


The main thing is, I love Intellicig's "rich-blend" catridges (kinda like a Marlboro). I'll drip if I have to (tell me how), but does anyone have any suggestions concerning a more reliable vendor? I swear, I'm throwing so much of their stuff away that I think analogues were cheaper. Even so, I'm certain my lungs look better.

Any pointers much appreciated and I sure remember all the help when I was getting started. Thanks!

Are you coastal Alabama? If so how close are you to Gautier, MS? There is a B&M that will be more than glad to help you out. You can visit them and see what they have, taste their juices, etc. Once you figure it out you can order from them online or from wherever else you might like.

Lots of good info behind your link, Dark. Thank you.

I can say that litecigusa, mountain vapor, V2, Mt baker vapor, and My freedom smokes have been great.

If you like the smaller 808 threaded batteries like Intellicig's, you should check out Smokeless Image. Their batteries are pretty good quality and they have a good warranty. They have larger batteries and clearomizers too.

Is the intellicig a mini or a standard 510?

You say you like atomizers and carts over cartomizers. A Volt kit (or most modern 808 systems) won't allow you to use an atomizer with them on an auto battery, due to their "sealed" technology. However, an atomizer will work fine on a manual 808 battery, just as long as it's a 901. Also, most shops that sell 808 batteries don't sell 901 atomizers and vice versa. I'm not trying to talk you out of trying new things, but since you've been successfully doing this much longer than I have I figured I'd let you know what you're getting into.

If the Intellicig is a mini, Volcano is currently having a sale on their atomizers. They're in Hawaii, so it'll take a bit longer for them to get to you. There's a few other places still selling mini atomizers, like LJesmokes, Preferred Smoke and Modern Vapor. And of course there's plenty of places selling 306 atomizers, which I'm told work well on minis. But this whole paragraph assumes you're using a 510 threaded mini.

I can't help you on juices. I've enjoyed Mt. Baker and ECBlend, but I only use menthol and cinnamon.

Good luck.

If it has been quite awhile since you've looked at what is available, there is probably a better solution out there for you.

Do you have anything against larger batteries, such as the eGo 650mah or higher? There are variable voltage versions of the eGo, called eGo Twists and eGo Spinners, too. The variable voltage ones add a bit of length, so I like the 650mah.

A bigger battery would make for quite a bit less charging than the cig-sized ones need.

Also, there are a lot of new options for delivery devices out there. One of my favorites is the Mini Vivi Nova, a clearomizer tank that is sized well for eGos, and requires much less refilling than carts. I also like the A7 rebuildable atomizers, which are rebuildable dripping atomizers that hold a lot of drops, and can even be made into a sort of carto if you're creative, also sized well for an eGo.

I'd recommend looking at Discount Vapers for some of the newer options out there.

I'll second Smokeless Image, if you wish to stick with the smaller options, though I don't know if there is much new tech available for those these days, as I haven't looked at them in a long time.

I've gotten juice from myvapecreations, mtbakervapor, and myfreedomsmokes... I have had good experiences with all.

I've gotten parts from myfreedomsmokes as well.

I hear REALLY good things about aliceinvapeland juice, but have yet to have then chance to try them. Next on my list!

I sure do appreciate the links and tips from everyone. This remains one of the best forums going in terms of people helping people. Thanks all!

Not sure if you're still looking for vendors. For assorted personal vaporizers, kits, eliquids, and DIY, here are a few that I use, in no particular order:
Goodprophets.com
Wizardlabs.com
highdesertvapes.com
Myfreedomsmokes.com
ecigexpress.com
madvapes.com
gotvapes.com
heathersheavenlyvapes.com
Aromajuice.com
virginvapors.com
vapors-choice.com

I haven't listed ALL the ones I've ordered from because there are a few I won't order from again for different reasons, but those above are all I need or use now

Does anyone have experience with this unit? http://www.ecigexpress.com/joye-ego...yetech-egokit-tank-system-select-color-p-1263. As someone pointed out earlier, I think a bigger battery is going to be the way to go. And if I understand correctly, I can still buy the e-liquid I like from my current vendor. Tell me if I'm wrong and thanks!

I'm pretty disappointed as well with the changes Intellicig has made. I really loved their products until they changed to cartomizers. Their mini cig is 401 style and the atomizer has been completely discontinued. I have two left and treat them like they are made of gold. I only use them to drip new flavors. The flavor is always clean and produces clouds for such a small device.

I have seen a couple vendors still selling 401 batts but personally I have decided to switch to other devices. I have been eyeing ERoll for the similar size factor.

As for similar flavor to ecopure Rich, I don't have any leads. Ecopure is spendy but worth it.

 

[seadog]

Yes, Leal... I love Intellicig's "Rich Blend" flavor, but it appears to be available in only very low strengths. Guess I'll have to find something else similar from another vendor.
