Went from cheap off brand kr808 based from convenient store.. wasn't great but it got me off cigs, ordered a E9 from the web, it worked ok, but refilling didn't seem to yield good results, even empty cartos.. packed too tight, had to drill extra holes in the tip and screw it loose to get a normal drag, and I'm not one looking for a loose airy drag, it was just way hard a pull... Went to blu and couldn't have been happier.. the size was perfect, felt like a cig, classic tobacco tasted great but the refills are expensive so I wanted to mix my own.. well it was hit or miss, out of a five pack maybe one carto would refill several times before crapping out, two would crap out before I got a chance, and the other two might work once.. I never seemed to have the liquid consistency right either..
then I stumbled on the eroll online
Ordered it and it was more cig like than the blu. Light, can dangle it from your lip, great transition from cigs. It's a funny power house. I liked it so much I ordered another kit and carry two charge packs work me.. they're small enough that way I can keep two charged all the time and I can vapor like a maniac while out of the house all day and not worry about running dead... it seems to like thick juices and I like a lot of vapor.. I'm mixing high vg, little water and only pg is in flavorings. I still mix thicker than the type a atos deal with so I started making stainless mesh wicks.. tons of vapor and hit, no burnt taste, wicks like crazy.. which is a pro and a con..
Cons: The heavy wicking and vapor eats through
juice fast.. but mixing your own costs so little I don't mind that.. the tanks are small, so refilling a lot sucks, but it's become second nature to me already, but I'm probably killing the tank end faster having to remove it so much.. also.. even on a new tank, with the stainless wicks I get a lot of leaking into the air chamber and around the atomizer head.. that's probably the only real annoying thing atm although cleaning had become second nature too. I'm experimenting with how I make and put the wicks in, have some ideas that might help slow the leaking, I'll probably make a post about it if I get it right.. I'm probably losing 30 percent of my liquid in the tanks to this leaking issue..
That being said, I still love these things like crazy, and really the problems I have with it I created with my wicks.. So clearly I'm willing to bare those things for now and I'm fairly certain a little ingenuity will get it straight.
If you're like me and hung up on the cigarette form factor and a little put off by the clunky larger devices.. there's two ways to go.. turn key get a blu kit, but if you don't mind filling, or are interested in mixing your own liquid you gotta get one of these... If you try one and like and vape away from power source a lot, you might end up caring two like me.. the pcc is small, so two isn't any fatter than a pack of cigs.. I'm thinking of missing mine together into one unit.
I am debating on getting an ego with a twist battery and drip tips for when I'm mixing, but I think I'll be sticking with this mini cig firm factor for my main
vaping. I can kill a battery in one session.. lowered my nic so I could vape more, but I always got another charged.
Main thing anybody coming from cartomizers should know is clean your atomized(I drop them in vinegar and take last two out while these two sit in it.. every other day or so.. and maybe learn to rewick you can buy wick material online, much cheaper than atomizers, cause the coil in them lasts a very very long time, so 25 bucks is a lot to pay for 5 them just because a little wick material got burned up... wow.. I'm yakking.. hope my opinion is helpful to somebody on the fence about what to get...
