i was all ready to order my first starter kit and it was going to be the kr808d and then i saw the pigcig. now its a little bit pricier but i was wondering if i should just get it instead of the 808 and then upgrading later. any suggestions would be appreciated. i am looking for a kit with real good throat hit and vapor thats easy and dependable with good bat life thanks

From what I understand, TH and vapor production depends mostly on the juice you use. The higher the nic level, the higher the TH (although some brands are better TH than others regardless) and VG-based juice gives better vapor.

The pigcig will give better battery life. And as someone has started with the 510 and is definitely going up to a bigger battery model very soon. I would advise you to start with the picig since you are probably going to regret (like me) it if you started with a smaller battery model.

Much greater battery life. I have several XL KR808D's and one pig cig, the xl 808's last me a couple hours or so the pigcig last me a good 6 to 8 hrs, and if I'm switching between a few batts during the day I just need to charge the pig cig about once every 24 hrs.

I'd get two pigcigs and hold off on the reg 808's. You can always order a couple later if you want something smaller or that feels more like a real cig in your hand.

Pigcig and CigEasy's Elegant Easy are the two fat-battery KR8's I know of. The other benefit of fat batteries is they have enough power to handle lower resistance cartos or attys. A KR8 can also use DSE901 attys+901 carts w/ no adapter, and 510 atty + 510 carts w/ an adapter.

With the basic slim KR8 you can use normal cartos and normal 901 attys (or normal 510 ones with adapter)

Normally low resistance cartos & attys interest people who are looking for the strongest hit they can get.

Fat battery life is longest - often 6-8 hours or more. KR8 standard batteries probably more like 3-4 hours but you can fit those in a small PCC and charge on the go.

Depends what you are looking for to start with. You could always add the other to your collection later (i.e. start slim and go fat, start fat and go slim).

Have a PigCig & love it as it last me about 12 to 14 hours & I vape all day long.
Have ordered the Eden kit & it is out for delivery to me today so will compare them, but they are both made by SMOORE in China I believe.
The guys at LeCig are great to work with as I have talked to them on the phone where as donttouchmybutt just gave me a recording & their web site need some TLC as far as construction goes. A few things that need to be added.
LeCig is located in Arkansas & ship same day form their location.
Donttouchmybutt is located in Florida, but ships from NY state which has a bill to BAN e-cigs altogether that will come up for a vote.
We all need to go to the following to try to stop this bill no mater where you live. NVC Stop the ban!
Will write a review of the Eden Kit when I have had about 3 or 4 days to try it out.
In the mean time the PigCig works great & is a KR808 thread.

Am probably late to the dance with my reply, but what the hell. PigCig was my first e-cig purchase. I spent a week doing research -- given that there are TONS of options out there, which is crazy-confusing for total novices -- but one of the most knowledgeable-seeming and sharp reviewers out there posted a video review of this product. He gave great insight into the advantages of Ego-style big batteries over the (universally-recommended-for-beginners) KR808-D1 model, including i) far superior battery duration, and ii) big vape. But what sets the PigCig apart from the other big batts: you can use it w/ the numerous KR808-D1, LeCig's D1, and GreenCig cartomizers that are out there. (As a bonus, LeCig's customer service has been truly stellar.) Glad I went for this over a "training wheels" model -- I recommend the same to you, esp if you're gunning for TH. (I'm grooving on LeCig's Vapriot Strawberry, btw.)
