Hello everyone. I bought myself a start kit from SmartSmoker. Im not exactly happy that they said one refill or filter or whatyoumacallit will last like 12-15 cigarettes. Now I take about 8-10 puffs from a regular tobacco cigarette, and one refill will only last me equivalent of 2-3, 4 cigs at the very most so I felt betrayed. im wondering if others have had this happen and what is the very best refill lasting, most vaporous, throat hitting, flavor rich e cig out there?

You'll get two answers here more than others - the 510 and the 901. They're both great, but for different reasons. Unfortunately, neither is going to meet all your criteria.

The 510 makes a lot of vapor and throat hit, but isn't so great in the battery life department. Also, the atomizers burn the juice at a high temperature, so juices aren't quite as flavorful as they could be. You'll also go through juice a little quicker on here.

The 901 is all about flavor for me. Throat hit and vapor are still pretty decent, but no where near the 510. Because the atomizers burn juice a little cooler than the 510, there is more flavor and the batteries last a little longer.

I own both. When I got my 901 (started with a 510) I swore I'd never use my 510 again because the 901 tasted so much better, but I actually find myself wanting more vapor pretty often. I use them about 50/50.

Really, you can't go wrong with either as they're both great.

Buy juice and refill whatever model you have yourself if you don't mind having to add a few drops every 30 mins to an hour (depending on how much you vape). It saves money and you can use the carts over and over and over. I've used both the 901 and 510 and they are both good model. I've heard the 801 is good too and holds more juice. I haven't used one yet so I don't know from personal experience. I got a couple 801 attys to use on the VP2 I ordered so I'll know better once that arrives. But topping off with nic juice is a great thing. Only takes a few seconds, less time than I used to spend hunting for a lighter :).

I think you forgot about the 801. The 801 is the largest atomizer and cart you can buy. I wouldn't use it with auto switch batteries. But with the Prodigy or GG, at 5/6 volts of power, it can't be beat for all the things you want out of a device.

Claims that you get a pack of cigarettes from a full cartridge are just not true. The estimate of 2-5 cigarettes is what most people report.

Here's what I don't get. Why lie? Sure it helps make the sale, but when you find out you've been had, why would you want to go back to that company to purchase anything else? If you're honest and sell a decent product at a decent price you'll reap the benefits of repeat customers. If you're not honest, you'll only reap what you sow... <thunderous sound effect inserted here>
