Information Overload

[alanselo]

Plenty of good recommendations provided for you. I will add that if you decide to go with a passthrough to use in your vehicle the lighter adapter will need to provide 2 watts of power to power your e-cig. Someone might verify this.

I use a cartomizer tank and they do not leak. Easy to use with just about anything out there. You can make your own, syringe tank easily. The other thing I would add is start with several 10 mil juice tobacco juices just in case some don't work for you. I was a pack a day + smoker as well, marlboro red, and found 24mg works well for me. I started with RY4 and flue cured tobacco juice and that does the trick for me.

Good luck.

In that same thread, there were a number of E-Power (14650)owners who posted how well it worked and never experiencing any problems. In fact there have been whole threads on how well it works. I"ve also read posts from Riva and Ego owners having numerous problems with their PV's. Any mass produced, inexpensive model will have some bad models get to consumers. Singling out one model as being "bad" based on two owners experience over the many positive posts does not seem to pass the "logic" test.

I would recommend for any PV purchase, that the buyer be aware of what the warranty period is.

It's perfectly logical if you happen to be the person who got a bad unit. I don't want to see anyone get burned like I did. It's fair to warn them about it. There is obviously a problem with the current batch of E-Power 14650's.

Sorry you had a problem. But there is also a problem from the posts I have read with the Riva and eGo models especially with them not making good connections. I just don't think it makes sense to single out one particular PV as being bad because a few people seemed to get a bad apple unit. There have been many glowing remarks about the E-Power as well. Are those people's experience not valid?? Is it right not to warn a new person about the Riva and eGo problems?

Hey Mekanic, I notice you are in Florida...Walgreen's is selling Blu disposables, at least in SoFla. Just pointing this out because, while there are few or no other stores selling e cigs, it's a handy resource if you get stranded.

 

[Mekanic]

Thanks SO much for all the advice. I'm now in the fence on tank or no tank, I just liked the idea of not having to fill very often.

Nikki, thanks for the heads up! I know 7-11 up here sells a disposable e-cig for like $15 but I've been nervous to try them haha.

Whatever gets you vaping is a good choice. Stellar recommendations in this thread. Grabbing a Blu disposable at Walgreens for $7.99 will give you the general idea. KGO is in the fat batt class (size of a sharpie pen). They're my fave. An 1100 mAh Riva is pretty much the same (not the smaller mAh kits). Beware of fake eGos, Rivas and KGOs. Liberty-flights sells the real thing as does Hoosier E Cig Supply and other ECF suppliers. If you buy from an ECF supplier you have a voice in the forum if you have an issue. Congrats to you!

 

[sandybeach]

A plug for Hoosier. One of the atomizers on my Kgo didn't work after a week. I emailed them, and they got back to me within an hour saying they are sending a new one out immediately

THE MEGALODON

A good start! I am displeased with my ego for the most part... besides the fact that it got me off smoking. If it wasn't for the classifieds here on ECF I would have bought this as my first MOD for sure; this, comes with everything you need to start besides juice, electronicstix even has a few nice tutorial videos on the site.

I recommend this because I honestly wish I spent my money on MODs in the first place, nice solid pieces of work that do what they are supposed to do the best.

I also favor the ego passthroughs. The five click off is very handy. I keep two and they last more than all day. My current preference for juice delivery is the Gotvapes Vision extremes. I also like ce2 clearomizers/fluxomizers etc, but the visions are imo, better, and the giants have a 3ml capacity. Flavor I think is impossible to even come close, so I am currently experimenting to find something that is at least satisfying.

You can fill a few of cartomizers in the morning and carry them with you so there is no need to fill when you're out and about. Some hold enough juice to make it through most of the day (EMDCC's, Vision)

 

[Mekanic]

Just got home from a local store with a Ego-T Type A 1100mah. Got 2 bottles of a tobacco juice and a bottle of coconut juice. Also picked up a "Super Cigarette" for my fiance to try.

I'm so frigging excited, but I'm HATING the 12 hour wait to charge the battery, I have a new toy dammit, I wanna play with it!!!

 

[sandybeach]

Yay Mekanic! Glad you got your new toy. I didn't wait but 15 minutes on the charger to try mine

 

[Mekanic]

AAAHH I'm guilty, 45 minutes is all I could do haha.

I'm not big on the juice I have now, still leaving me craving analogs, maybe I need a higher nic content, and def something more flaverful

Myfreedomsmokes.com has excellent MarBro red type juice in dif nic strengths. I love my eGo T type A system. Just keep the tank no less than half full and it will keep the leaking minimal.

 

[Ridgerunner]

Tough to get the exact experience one has will doing analogs. Mostly have to try diff juices and atties/cartos to see what works. Try a cheap device at first and when ready to take the plunge check out the classifieds.

 

[sandybeach]

What strength did you get? I am satisfied with 18 mg or 24 mg

Just curious but where did you get your E-Power from that the supplier wouldnt send you a new one, since your saying you got burned.
My buddy just got an E-Power from the same "bad batch" after trying mine and he loves it and hasnt had the slightest problem.
PVs are electrical devices that are mass produced. Doesnt matter if its a cheap one or the most expensive PV out there, they ALL have occasional bad apples. Do you really think that a device that has wires, circuits, batteries and are mass produced by the thousands are going to make every single one flawlessly? Theres a thread on the New member forum right now about a person that got a DOA Prodigy V3.1. Even the all mechanical PVs have occasional bad ones and they dont even have all the complicated wires and circuits to potentially screw up. Ecig makers give a short warranty period because they know that there are going to have a few bad onesthat customers recieve that they didnt catch.
Im sorry that you got unlucky and got a bad E-Power, but saying that there is obviously a problem with the current batch of E-Powers because of one bad unit is ridiculous.

Well stated. I'm sure a few people have gotten a Honda that turned out to be a lemon. Is it logical to then state that all Honda's are lemons and ignore the fact that Toyota and Ford sometimes make a lemon, also.

There are two posters here with the same problem: newly purchased E-Power's that will not turn off. A new switch does not solve the problem. They don't work as they should; they're downright dangerous if you don't remember to unscrew them after every single vape.

Why on earth would you recommend the E-Power to anyone right now when you know there are documented problems?

I really don't need a lecture on the mass production of ecigs. I know all about it - I've been vaping for over two years and I've tried several different models. The bottom line is that the current crop of E-Power's have a problem and frankly, it's not very nice to recommend it to people when you know this.

I got my new E-Power 14650 last week and it has operated flawlessly.
