Narrowed it down to 2

[youneek28]

I have done a lot of research and think I have found the 2 that you be the best for me to try. Im thinking of the 901 and the 510. I would like one with a automatic battery but since this will be my first e cig, I guess I don't know any better. Cost is an issue as I don't want to to get too deep into this thing and not like it.

I was a smoker of about a pack to pack and a half and quit cold turkey in March. After not smoking for months I now smoke a little when I drink which is a couple of times a week. Well i'm scared I might fall off that wagon when football seasons start, and I think the best thing is to get an e cig.

Any opinions would be great.

Thanks

901 better flavor good throat hit.

510 harder throat hit and less flavor.

Manual batts a must. You won't be a beginner after the first week and wished you had them.

Agree with jeffakamax manual battery`s are s**t ha-ha! But either are a great first step into the ecig world

Both are reasonably cheap so it really a matter of personal choice? There are a few reviews in the video review section to give you a better idea?

Definitely.....

Now, I love the flavor of my 510, what makes the 901 better? (If you care to elaborate).

The 901's tend to run just a bit cooler than the 510's.
Anyone who has played with 5-6 volts knows first hand that the flavor leaves as the heat increases.

Otherwise both are excellent work horses and it's just a matter of preference. You cannot go wrong with either.

Myself, I am a die-hard 901 fan run at 4.0 to 4.2 volts off the 18650 tanker. 2 full days (min) of vaping pleasure. You can push them to 4-5 days, but the voltage drops, and you get less vapor accordingly.

So hotter is better? Which flavors do you all prefer and where is the best place to get a few cheap bottles or e juice so I can try a few?

Everyone has different tastes, so asking people their preferred flavors is not really all that effective.

But I think it might be fair to say that RY4 is the most popular flavor.
Of course, you may not like it at all.


As for a few cheap bottles of juice, you are wanting a sampler pack.
Not sure who is currently offering good samplers, because the offers change.

I've had good luck with myfreedomsmokes and ecigsmokestore though.


As far as hotter being better, I guess that depends on what you want.
I think, but can not say for sure, that hotter generally equals more vapor and better throat hit.
But I think it might also equal less flavor.

Thanks I was looking for a standby for my 510 just in case. I really want to try another device simply because 'If this is this good, can't imagine something better';

For samples, ruyan direct just came out with their 10 ml samples for 3.50. Very good price and a good way to try out all the flavors or a handful if you prefer. I ordered 8 just to see if I could tell the differences and which suited me best.

Ruyan doesn;t have the fruity flavors (Cherry tastes very cherry but tobacco-like too) that you may find at other places and surprisingly for me I found I liked the really strong tobacco tastes. Turkish, Flue Cured, Hilton, RY4.. lol being a girl I thought the candy flavors that I had ordered from other places would appeal more....lol.

You will regret it if you get an auto switch battery instead of manual batteries. The 901 now has a manual switch battery option.

I agree that Ruyan Direct is one of the best options for reliability, service and good price. I think their KENT flavor is the smoothest, best tobacco flavor I have tried out of the 6 I have used. And as mentioned before, RY4. I would also suggest getting a little higher mg such as 24 because you can always make it weaker, but you can't make it stronger.

I have been vaping for 1 year. I have 510 manual and auto batts. Call me crazy but I love auto batts. Just be careful not to flood the auto batt with juice. I even have an auto pass through (M401) and I love it. I am just to dang lazy to push the button.

Well if they both have manual and auto batteries for them I could see which one like best. I will probably try the 510 first and see what it is like. The cheapest I have found them were at Healthcabin the only thing is I can't seem to find it in black.

actually on the manual vs auto subject

when im at work or on the pc gaming i need automatic because you must have a free hand to activate your manual... however when i can my 510 is so much better with the manual so I like to have both...

I have never used my 901 with manual, however my 118/vx2 is comparable and I really dont like its manual battery. not sure but i think it gets to hot too fast because the hit softens and i taste the filler. the autos dont do this to me...

i do like the 901 a hair better than the 118 tho... def more flavor

also surprisingly my M801 hits flavor and hit very well, and the auto battery on it hits just as long as i can drag it...

hope this helped, just my opinion

Glad to see I'm not the only one who likes auto batts.

I'm an auto battery fan too. I've been watching as more models have introduced manuals and what I see are complaints about them not lasting as long and quicker dropoffs, so I'm still wary.

Also my [multiple] manual passthroughs have proved dangerous. My auto passthroughs could be frustrating with sticky switches, but at least they never stayed on by themselves and burned anyone.

 

[KreeL]

Some vapers like the autobatts. Can't knock that. I guess that's the reason they continue to make them. Personally, I savvy the consistant performance of the manbatt.

I have the 510 manual batteries and the 801 auto, but the usb passthru is manual, and i have had problems with it sticking on and i have to hurry and unplug it at those times.
the 801 with auto batteries is my favorite out of these two.

 

[youneek28]

I ordered the 510 from rocky mountain yesterday and it came with two manual batteries and will just get a automatic just to see what its like. Now the waiting game.
