Might cancel Blu order.. help me choose new one :)

[Spokane]

I might cancel my Blu order, you all know what is going on with there deal.. back log and all. I ordered before I looked around on the forums and found out that other ecigs are much better.

All the info I'm looking for is; what e-cig can I get for about $50 with free shipping (yes, im a tight wad.. and i also need to buy juice.) That is sleek like the Blu and gives good vapor and takes less than a week to get here. Hit me up with options!! thank you.

And yes I'm sorry but I don't make my own decisions very well, I have been trying to figer this stuff out for my self by watching reviews and such.. But there are just too many to choose from. lol

I like my Janty Dura C but you should check their site and availability. I also ordered 510 (yeti) parts from Rob at AltSmoke.com - ordered Wed. came Saturday. They have started kits for the 510.

The 510 model with a manual switch is a very very good choice.

Reliable, durable, good vapor and throat hit. It does what an e-cig is suppose to do.

The 510 is also known as the Dura-C, Yeti, Joye 510, and simply 510. It doesn't matter what they're called - they're all the same model.

Look in the Joye 510 sub-forum for a list of reliable suppliers.

Thank you for the help, IDK about the 510 though because i definitely don't want to push a button lol. I want it to be as close to an analog as possible because I feel it will help me with the switch. So im looking for something about the same size as an analog and I want it in black. I have been thinking about the m401.. what do you all have to say about that?

I own a 401 and I really enjoy it. I also LOVE my new VX2, which i received this week. The VX can go longer not just on battery life, but on cart life too. In other words, it doesnt need to be refilled as often as my 401 does. I use the 401 at home mostly, and the VX when im ut for the day/evening. The VX also comes with a PCC which I just ADORE. and the PCC is the EXACT one as the Blu, just has a different design on the outside. If I were going to get just ONE e-cigg....right now Id have to pick the VX2. Hope this helps! Good Luck

imo the 401 is not a very good beginner model. it has good battery life but the cartridges have to be replaced often. you risk getting liquid in your mouth if you overfill. you have to learn to do the primer puff. the draw is harder than other models. you have to take real good care of the atomizers. the vapor is not the best if you care about that.

the main reason why I had a hard time with the 401 was that there is just too much resistance in the atomizer. it didn't feel like a real draw.

I posted a comment earlier on this. Full disclosure - I've only been at it for 4 days but, I had an auto 'Black Super' first and then received the Dura C (510). I find the 510 with the manual more like analog because of the draw. With the autos you have to have a priming drag first to activate, whereas with the manual you hit the button first, and the vapor is right there to inhale. I was also drawing some juice on the auto from that first drag, but I figured it out. Still there's that first 'prime' drag that isn't like an analog. More vapor with the 510 as well.

ok, im going to look into the VX2. ill post what i think about it in a few minutes.

I have to respectfully disagree with all of that. My 401 is my favorite model, even above the 510. I don't use carts too often since I just drip, but when I do they last me a good half hour of consistent vaping (when I use Fluval). I never get the liquid in my mouth...but learning to not overfill is a pretty easy and quick process. I have also never ever done a primer puff on this model. It heats up adequately without that. The draw is the same as everything I've tried except the 510 (which is obvious since i thas a manual switch). Also, the vapor is just fine to me. It's not the same as the 510 but it's as much as the Blu. The thing about the 401 is you have to break it in a bit... but once you do it works great.

Also as far as taking care of the atomizer... I am going on a month now with the first atomizer that came with the starter kit. I haven't done anything to it except blow it out every night or two. That's all the care I've put into it and it's worked great. I wonder if you just got a bad apple... my m401 has been awesome!

Did you have an atomizer with 2 holes or 4? I have a 4 hole that I got from libertyecig and never had any problem with the draw. I haven't tried the VX2 yet but of all the small e-cigs I've tried I like the 401 best. It gives the most vapor and the warmest vapor of all my little e-cigs.

Mate i got got my m401 a week ago and its sweet. Nice battery life (much better than the 510 as what i understand) Good flavour, plenty of vapor. People like to whinge about the carts but they arent really that much of an issue.

 

[Spokane]

I think im going to go with a m401.. unless i find something smaller real quick here..
where is a good place to get an m401? i see diet has them for $49

 

[Montana Brat]

I almost ALWAYS use Shawn at LITECIG USA . His customer service and shipping times are just amazing. There IS a thread on here about which vendors to avoid and why...Id take a look at that is you arnt sure where to go.

It sounds like you've decided on the 401, and I think that would be a solid choice. Many people are completely satisfied with that model. I bought my first e-cig, the 401, over a week ago. I'm happy with it, but I almost wish I had gone ahead and bought a 510.

The reason I didn't buy the 510 is same as yours -- didn't want to press a button. But once I got my e-cig, I realized that I don't hold it the same as an analogue anyway. It is heavier, and there is no burning tip, so you end up holding it differently -- at least I did. And it didn't take me long to start thinking that pressing a button would be no big deal -- especially if it means more vapor and bigger throat hit.

Having said that, in the short time I've had my 401, I haven't had any problems with the atomizers or carts. I dip most of the time, so how long the carts last isn't really an issue for me.

Good luck to you, I hope you find a model that works for you.

I got my m401 from vaporstix.com. Travis over there takes GREAT care of his customers. I love him to death. My first order from him I got in 3 days, the second in 4 (because of USPS delays). He sends stuff out the day you order it. I had one issue with something I ordered from him (not his fault, manufacturers error) and he resolved it very very quickly.

You can get one cheaper at Ruyan direct (AkA Heaven Gifts) but you will have to pay quite a bit more for shipping. It takes longer, and has to go through customs. All in all, it turns out to be about the same price either way...except Travis will get it to you much sooner.

Make sure you order some juice with it... travis and ruyan both have plenty and most people, including me, are disappointed with the prefilled cart juice that comes with a starter kit.

I think once you break your 401 in you will love it. Good luck man, best wishes for you! If you order from Travis over at vaporstix tell him I sent you. Maybe if I send him enough people he'll give me a discount on my juice!!

Thanks guys.. I ended up getting the m401 bumble bee from parked at diet for not too bad of a deal.. i ordered at about 3:00am last night and it has already shipped by noon today.. I'm going to get atomizers in different colors and have a bumble bee, scorpion, white tie and maybe get some black, gold and silver from another site too.

Along with the m401 bumble bee, I ordered 11ml of camel juice and 4 empty carts.. I'm assuming you can reuse carts when refilling? lol lmk

Also, why do I have to re-login to this site every 5 min? lol

 

[enrogae]

Yeah you can reuse carts for a pretty long time, basically until you wear them out.

There should be a "remember me" or "save password" or something at the top to keep you logged in.
