looking for inconspicuous cig

[cameronsandiego]

So, as most of you probably already know im a noob and have been asking mood questions for a week or so now. I recently got my first ecig and it is working awesome ( smoke free for one week which is as long as I've gone without an analog in over 3 yeears). I am currently vaping a riva 510 from liberty flights. I have been taking some ..... from my smoking and non smoking friends alike while vaping at work. I would like to purchase an ecig thinconspicuous that more inconspicuous and gives me results similar to my riva. I have been looking into the volt fromsmokeless image due to price, look, and I really like their pcc. If anyone has any better suggestions, hills at cha boy.

And a quick question about this and any pcc, if I turn it on to charge and put it in my pocket will the pcc turn off and stop wasting pcc battery when the ecig is charged or will I have to turn it off man?

I love the volt. I wouldn't reccommend anything else that looks like a cigarette for price, durability and performance. It's great to have an auto battery as well. It's completely and utterly replaced my ego which I didn't think would happen but it has.

I don't have a masters degree in eletronics but I'd assume there would be very little charge being drawn from the pcc battery to the egic battery and there shouldn't be any drain other than the LED on the pcc or a small trickle charge to the ecig battery. Should be ok to just leave it on without it draining the pcc battery by much.

I think many of us have gone through the "ridicule cycle". After a while, they become accustomed to the new look and leave you alone about it.

If you really want to switch to something less conspicuous to appease them, and you want something with the same measure of vaping satisfaction, try a standard Joye 510. You can use the same attys or cartomizers you are currently using and the vaping experience will be about the same, except for the shorter battery life.

Get the complete starter kit because you will need a new charger. You can't use the Riva charger on the Joye 510.

Can't help with the pcc question. Never owned one.


PS: I have a feeling that no matter what type of PV you use, you will still catch some flack from the same people.

It's just one of those things, you're doing whats right for you. But I'd also suggest the Volt, I've got one now and its great as far as vapor production, etc, to be cigarette sized. I've actually got a Riva 510 on the way for the longer battery life and all, but I am still going to keep my Volt for times when I'm at the bar or somewhere and dont want to be bothered, lol.

Evil genious though: buy an air tube like the ones for fish aquaruims but try to find a wider one. Put an automatic battery on your e-cig. Put you e-cig mouth-end up in your inside pocket of your shirt or in your waistband and run the tube up through the inside of your shirt. Use some Duct tape to hold the end of the tube near the top of your shirt. Then whenever you want to vape, just put your head down a bit inside your shirt and suck on the tube. Don't forget to hold your breath though 'cuz you don't want smoke blowing around everywhere. AHHAHAHAHAHAHA! That was my evil genious laugh.

I've had my pcc for a while now and have never even used it to charge my batteries. Just as a carrying case. I've never been away from my regular charger long enough to need to use it. But it will charge your battery in your pocket and after a couple hours, check it and make sure it's finished charging. When it's full, just untwist it and put the LED end towards the charger post. That way it won't mess your battery or you pcc up. If you leave the battery plugged in, it WILL drain both your battery and the pcc.

For general compatibility, if you like the Riva, I'd also go to normal 510 (actually, look for the 510 mega or XL batteries -- the ones that are 280 mAh instead of 180). One "gotcha" on normal 510 batteries is that you really need to watch using lower resistance cartomizers or atomizers on them, the batteries don't have enough oomph to drive them, could have early failures. I'd probably stay at 2.4 ohms or greater, though others will have different opinions.

If you're willing to go cross-platform, a normal KR808D-1 is fine. Volt is one of the "next generation" 808s -- form/fit compatible with other 808 cartomizers. A full standard 808 kit, 2 batteries, charger, initial set of cartomizers, runs about $50 from NHaler, vapor4life, while vaporsetc runs about $37. I believe the active general coupon codes for them are SAVEINNJ, SMILIN, vapezone.

I don't know how much of a price premium the Volt gets compared to the a standard 808. I normally vape a fairly large tube mod, use normal 808 XL batteries if I need to be hands free or less conspicuous (an 808 XL is 380mAh, about the size of a long 120 mm cigarette).

IMO you should go to MadVapes and check out the Rough Stack mini. You'll have the same long battery life in a unit that is easily concealed in the palm of your hand. If you really want to be inconspicuous than work on stealth vaping. I started with a white battery tan cart look-a-like model and was really surprised how quickly people across the room noticed something was different about my cig and came over to ask about it. I just got a new 510 kit with black battery and blue led and yet no one seemed to notice when I was out with it and none of the people at this bar had seen me with a pv before.

Go figure.

if you are looking for a more similar ecig, like a regular cigarette you can try the M602C PCC ecig from smoore,

A Joye 510 could share any 510-threaded standard resistance atomizers or cartomizers. It needs its own 510 charger (not the Riva fast charger) and cannot use any LR attys or cartos. I recommend Boge standard resistance cartomizers on it. I recommend only manual batteries - sealed threaded end and easier to get a good hit. And I recommend Joye brand to make sure you don't end up with a reverse polarity clone
standard: 180mah
xl: 280mah (and 128mm long with a Boge carto)

For incompatible w/ Riva 510, the best choice is KR808D-1 manual - i.e. Smokeless Image Volt, Vapor4Life.com, or plain KR808D-1 (LiteCigUSA.net). KR808D-1 is a real 3.7v slim mini so a hotter hit than most slim minis. Again I recommend manual. Most people here use and recommend manual batteries. Especially with cartomizers which occasionally leak right where you can damage and auto battery most easily.
shorty 180mah
standard 280mah (120mm w/ a Vapor4Life WOW carto on it)

My black Volt/Bloog 65mm battery with a pen cap (friction fit; hides ash-LED) & black carto has similar diameter and length of a regular pen. Looks like I'm just chewing on a pen that smokes (still working on holding the hit longer to decrease visible vapor).

Vapor4Life is my choice for cig sized PVs.They have a ton of choices and great customer service.

I think a lot of it is attitude. You're a trailblazer on a new frontier. It's like it was being among the first with an iPad, quick glances and whispers. I'm convinced ecigs are the future of nic delivery. I get excited questions from smokers wanting to know if it really works. So much so that I typed up a list of websites for them to get their kits (no I don't make money on it).

My nephew shared that his ecig is a chick magnet and a great conversation starter. He uses a GLV and KGO. He carries a bottle buddy with sweet juices. Apparently the girls like to smell them, lol.

I wish for an ecig condom with a hole in the middle so I could let people try mine without getting cootys on my drip tip. I would buy those. It is weird telling someone yes, you do mind if they try yours.
