My first e-cig was a smoking everywhere piece of crap that I bought at a mall. I was really disappointed, but I found this board and read for a couple of weeks trying to make it work because I really wanted to switch over to e-cigs. I found out real quick that my problem was that my e-cig was a piece of crap. Like you, I couldn't decide what model to
buy, but it seemed that virtually everyone at least seemed to have good things to say about the 901, even if they had since switched to a different model. I found a 901 starter kit for $30 (my smoking everywhere kit was $100) so I bought it.
I've had it for just over 3 weeks now, and I'm happy with it. I see all of these people raving about other models, and I might eventually try another model or two, but I'm definitely not sorry I bought the 901. None of these things are perfect, so as long as you know that going in, you should be happy with yours too.
