I have an 1100 mAh ego right now, a green smoke set up and a V2 kit (large battery 380 mAh). I want something I can get a better vapor from then the V2 and Green Smoke without loosing portability and not as big as my 1100 mAh ego. I posted a thread and I got a little overwhelmed, I'm sure it's because I was dead set on getting another 'cig-a-like' style, but after a little more research (and honestly, some tears) I found three kits that look rather promising to me and wanted to get as many opinions as I can get!

In order of favorite to least favorite (only by looks, I don't know much, if anything, about them):

http://www.litecigusa.net/Kangertech_Esmart_Kit_Pink_p/esmart-kit-pink.htm - Love the way this looks, the price seems good and I had someone mention it in my other thread.
Ego Mini Starter Set - 2 Complete E Cigs - Only $35.00!! - I also love the way this one looks and again, the price seems good BUT I do have questions about this one, with it only being 350 mAh, is it going to be LESS powerful then my V2 (which has 380 mAh)? Also, will the tanks I'm using on my 1100 mAh ego be interchangeable with the mini?
eGo-C w/ AnyVape Mini Viva BCC Starter Kit - MyFreedomSmokes.com - My issue with this one is 1) The price, although it does come with A LOT! 2) I can't see the other colors, only the steel one. 3) I'm already confused about the different ohm levels!
https://www.cignot.com/product_p/kit-ego-all.htm - I just flat out don't know here! I've heard SEVERAL people recommend these, but also a lot who say they're no good! EDIT: I was thinking of the eROLL, not ego! lol

There's also the Tornado ego-c Twist, ego Slim and Titan 2 from Totally Wicked, but someone told me to avoid them and I'm not sure if it was the company or the e-cig itself!

Any advise, ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I'm not into mods and stuff, I'm still really new to all of this. If you know anything about these in particular, or if you know of another SMALLER SIZED set to get, please let me know.

the ego-c twist is a great option. you can adjust the volts to the tank you have on and get the most out of your vaping experiance. rather than be stuck with a set voltage. every tank is going to have it's own resistance or it's own certain taste with a different voltage. that would be my way to go. as long as they are ego or 510 threaded you'll be fine with the tanks

An Ego-C Twist is great for a starter. I started out with a kit from Vapor Beast and learned how to use it straight out of the box. It's also pretty easy to charge and use for a beginner - you learn when to adjust the volts by experimentation, and that in and of itself is pretty easy.

Here's a mini Vision Spinner! Small and you still have the advantage of variable voltage. Pair this with a Mini Protank 2, or an iClear 16, and you'll be good to go. Whatever direction you go in, be sure to get at least 2 batteries and 2 clearomizers (tanks). Cheers!

ALSO: The first kit that you liked is pretty good, but the tanks are disposable and don't have replaceable heads. Out of the kits that you posted about, I'd go for the second one (the Ego Mini Starter Set), as it comes with 2 reliable batteries, and two good iClear 16 tanks with replaceable heads. If you go with that kit, you might want to get a pack of replacement heads (1.5 Ohm if you can) to go along with your purchase so you can replace those heads when they are at the end of their life.

I agree with Ianreign, a variable volt, such as an ego twist or a vision spinner, would be a good place to start. If you want to stay small, they make 650 mAh twists that will give you variable voltage and a small footprint. Not as small as your sticks, but not as big as others. I, too, started with stick batteries, auto at that. I also got a variable voltage ego kit. I found over time I liked the manual switch egos better; the auto sticks were too picky in that if you got any juice leaked in there, kiss it good bye. Another option if you want to stay really small is to look for ego minis. I have 6 :blush:, 2 400 mAh, 4 450 mAh. They are not variable voltage, but being only about 2+ inches long, even with a clearomizer or tank they still fit in my hand, and shove nicely in a pocket. They have both 510 and ego threading so everything fits. I got my first ego minis from Stormy's Vapor Cellar, but I believe Hooligan and others carry them too. Battery with clearomizer and charger was only about $15. GET 2!!! You don't need 2 kits, just 2 batteries. You need one to use while the other charges (they charge fast too). And they last me several hours on one charge. My main batteries are larger egos, Itaste VV3s, an MVP on the way, and a Zmax for home use, but for on the go I always have a mini or two with me. The 450s I got from companies in China, Fasttech and Chinabuye. Only about $5-6 each, less than I paid for a pack of stinkies. Hope this helps. Keep us posted and if you have more questions, ASK!!!!

EDIT, I guess you found a mini kit. Didn't follow all your links. Good advice given by others here!

Y'all are AWESOME! I saw the Spinner one too but wasn't sure if it was like the one everyone's talking about lol. The only thing with the ego mini is like I said, the mAh because it's actually lower then my V2 (@ 380 mAh) but since it's a different type all together, I didn't know if it was not as good (as the V2), I imagine it's BETTER, but I just don't know. I'd like to find that one in a 400 mAh, but that spinner is a 400 so I may go that route, though I want a KIT with at least 2 batteries, 2 tanks and replacement heads. Can anyone answer if the 350 mAh battery on the ego mini will be better then the 380 mAh battery on the V2?

Lol, I know they're disposable, I actually kind of like them (crazy I know lol), I like cartos AND tanks, I don't discriminate hehe. I've been cleaning my cartos with a turkey injector so it'll be nice when the cleaning kit comes in.

How will I know if it's an actual ego?

$5.91 Authentic Innokin Coil Heads for iClear16 Clearomizer (5-Pack) 5-pack - 1.8ohm / dual heating coil at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping - Is this a good price? And company?

Hi guys!

Just ordered my starter kit today :2cool:


  • 2 x e-cig black battery 1300 mAh
  • 2 x EVOD black e-liquid container
  • 1 USB charger
  • 1 wall adapter
  • 1 case for storing the kit

it came already with some 10ml eliquid and I ordered some mix of 5x10ml of fruits/mints/tobacco/etc from Dekang brand and RY6 MG HangSen Premium.

I got also 2 different atomizers of 1.5 Ohm and 2.5 Ohm for trying out a bit for myself.

Besides it I also got a Boge Ultra Light Single Kit that resembles a normal cigarette, mainly for its portability (smoking in bars/clubs/etc) might come in handy I guessed.

Would love to hear your feedback.
Any tips, advices or recommendations would be appreciated!

Many folks here on ECF order from Fasttech, but the waiting times for your package to actually arrive can be anywhere from 3 weeks, to 2 months. Just be aware of that. Fasttech is usually Slowtech. I'd stick with the kit that I recommended earlier from your list, and get it from an American vendor so you will have a much faster shipping time, especially if you are ready for your new gear now.

And generally, you won't notice much difference in vape time between a 340 mAh battery and 380mAh battery. If you are running a lower Ohm atomizer (tank or carto) than your vape time will go down a little bit as those a drawing more power from your battery. All things to consider.

Thank you for that information Ruby!

Electronic Cigarettes | Mig Cigs | e-cigs - I am SERIOUSLY considering the 'mig cig' now, I know that wasn't in any of my posts, but I found out about it yesterday and have been doing not stop research since and so far, I haven't found not ONE bad review on it! I'm pretty impressed with what I've seen.

Anyone have any thoughts on that?

Excuse me, but have you totally lost your mind? The fact that there are no bad reviews is typical of that sort of product.
Please, please, I beg you, please... do not buy that.
