May be able to convert a smoker, but need help finding the right e-cig for him-read!

[texastumbleweed]

I gave an inservice to my friend's hubby about e-cigs and vaping. He seems interested. However, he's a tough rugged manly man type of guy, so i dont see him with a penstyle or dainty kind. He said he would want one that resembles a real cigarette. I am pretty knowledgeable about ecigs since i have vaped for almost 2 years, but I am now into the eGo type ecig, and havent done research on the ones that look like real cigs.
In order for this to be successful, I want to make sure I give him a lead on a VERY GOOD DURABLE POWERHOUSE model.....but must look like an e-cig.
PLEASE help me find a link to one I can recommend!
Thanks yall!

Would he go for one that resembled a cigar? Bigger battery, longer life and still looks somewhat natural. It doesn't sound like anything shaped like an analog is going to last long enough unless he had 3 or 4 of them charging at all times.

Well... a dude like really should be with a mod. Really, really should be. Even if it's a 3.7v.

But, that said... I'd say look at the Kr8 manuals. Two pieces, so less to break. The atomizing coil is so simplistic that it's almost impossible to kill. Best battery life in that size category. Pretty solid PCC.

If he MUST have something that is LITERALLY cig shaped... he's not going to find what he's looking for, quite honestly. I suppose he could try an M401. Maybe if the CE2 M401 cartos get to the point of being reliable, that would make it less of a hassle and less of a liability.

But really... this dude needs a mod.

im not sure these exist. in my experience the ones that look like cigs have too short a battery life and dont provide the hit a long term smoker may need. there is one kind that MAY get you close although i DO NOT have any experience with this model. its the magnum kit from nhaler.com. you may want to check it out and the reviews. hope this helps a little The Magnum Kit.

Definitely an 808 kit if he wants something cig sized, it's the only way to go really battery-life wise.

How about a nice black KR808D-1.Its easy and its not girly.I recomend the XLongs.They last a lot longer.

 

[gashin]

510 or another starter kit is what I recommend because if he's just starting out he shouldn't invest that much until he knows if he enjoys vaping for sure.

forget the KR808d-1... it's just a headache with weak vapor output on anything but higher voltages...

have you shown him or let him try the eGo....really in hand I think it feels more like a stubby cigar...and the cone protects the atty/battery connection...anything smaller and cig size he's going to have battery issues...and probably have to be a dripper

I would go with a Tornado with the mega battery from TW MY wife told me it looks like a cigar.

Black with black cone and black cartomizer black drip tip. I use it all the time while driving and never get looked at twice. You can hole it like a cigar Or any Mega Ego with the same parts. Just my 2c

 

[texastumbleweed]

yup i was vapin on my eGo when he was here. he didnt seem to care for the "look of the eGo. when i showed him my "Sidesho" he seemed to like that better...except for the pink cart lol. i agree, eGo would be the best, or something like it, for the optimal vaping experience.

I'd almost say a 306...but the cart life totally sucks on those...absolute great atty for drippers/dippers though...has replaced the 510 in my vape arsenal..and a bit shorter than the 510...auto batteries too...

 

[trillion411]

Tell him that a dse901 is a lot better than the ones that look like real cigarettes. I don't see why anyone would care if it looks like a cigarette or not after they try it.

I started by wanting one that had a similar size and feel when i was holding it. After many reviews and posts i settled on the KR808d from Cigeasy. I can tell you until just recently it was all I needed, I work in the outdoors, I sweat like a construction worker (lineman for ATT climbing poles). The one thing I realized... I felt less manly the few times i picked up an analog when when I was using the KR.

The ease of use for the KR, the decent battery life, and the nice feel to the size of it made it a great fit for me.
