Need clarification...

[blackjackel]

Saw in another thread this:

Try an eGo / Tornado + LR.

Are they seperate kits? or is he recommending multiple parts of different kits to construct some sort of franken-e-cig?

Is he recommending this for the eGo?
eGo cylinder mega atomizer ?

That's the eGo part, I'm pretty sure... What does he mean by tornado? is it this?
http://www.totallywicked-eliquid.co...-tornado-e-nic-compact-starter-2-product.html



Basically, I just want to replicate the hookah experience, maximum vapor, minimum harshness on the throat. And I don't want to spend more than roughly 50 bucks.

Hi Blackjackel

I'll try to interpret the acronyms, but don't know the context of the other post, so neither agree or disagree with the advice.

ego/tornado - tornado is a branded ego kit so I think he means any of the ego or ego clones that are available.

LR - low resistance, referring to either attys or cartos.

If you are looking for max vapor, low resistance will give you more than standard resistance, but it will also increase throat hit.
You could help counter that and get minimum harshness by increasing the VG content of your juice and lowering the nic content.

Thanks for being helpful

here's the post that I was referring to:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ask-veterans/134575-i-need-recomendation-please.html

ok, I've looked around and I Want to get a starter kit, found this:
Electronic Cigarette Kits Including the Joye Ego Kit | Joye Ego Starter Kit | Joyetech Ego Products from LiteCigUSA!

Will this provide me maximum vapor while minimizing resistance? I'll figure out the VG thing later (though I must admit that I didn't know harshness was due to nicotine),

right now I just need the hardware... and I think this might be a pretty good kit to buy, but I need someone to give me the "ok"

I believe he is saying try the eGo or the Tornado, and use a Low resistance atomizer. As I have never used a hookah, I can not say what would be best. There are different batteries (maH ratings) that offer different life spans for the battery...at least with the eGo style. The higher the maH rating, the more expensive it gets. I don't know anything about the Tornado....but it appears to be the similar to the eGo. I use low resistance atomizers on my daily vape partly because of the heavy vapor I get. But I'm not using the eGos anymore. I think you can't go wrong with an eGo type kit to start with. As a word of caution, I would avoid getting the ones that the cone and the atomizer are all one piece. We haven't had good luck with those. Just my opinion. I bought mine last spring from Modern Vapor, but it seems like almost everyone is selling an eGo kit of some kind. I hear folks raving about VaporKing as well as Vape 4 Life or V4L, PureSmoker, well...there's too many to list. I wish you well in your journey...and hope I have helped at least a little. Welcome to the ECF.

For the money, this will suffice....It is the one I got earlier in the year and it out performed everything else I had purchased up til that point. Nicotine is not the only factor in throat hit, but it is a big one. Battery power can play a part along with other flavors like menthol and cinnamon type flavors can be a bit much on the throat.

LR addy on a eGo type device will lower the life expectancy of your eGo battery the LR is pulling 3 times what that battery can give so it will die an early death. I had a friend loose 2 bats this way this week.Not that you can't do this if you choose but you shouldn't.That being said the eGo is a great choice for a new vaper I love mine have 10 of them now.

 

[WomanOfHeart]

Just my opinion, but I get plenty of vapor with my eGo, a regular Mega atomizer and a 60PG/40VG mix. I also go for juices with a 50/50 mix, which produces more vapor. More VG = more vapor. More PG = stronger throat hit. Nicotine levels can add to the throat hit, but you have to keep in mind that not everyone can handle high nic levels.

 

[Icoth]

I'd start with the regular resistance. You can always try LR later on if you want. Atty's don't last forever. I'm not sure who has the best deal on ego/ego clones but I've seen Liberty Flights mentioned. If their 20% off sale is still going on they sell the Riva for about $30. That's a good deal. I don't think you'll go wrong as long as you order from a forum supplier, so shop around.

Don't neglect the e-lquid. It's just as important as the hardware. It's also more subjective. What I love you may hate. The best advice I can think of is order small amounts in different flavors. Also try different vendors. I prefer US juice, but others like the Chinese liquid. Until you try it, you won't really know.

 

[blackjackel]

Thanks for the advice guys, I think I'ma go with the basic Joyce EGO kit, I found it via a recommendation here:

ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE - STARTER KITS - JOYE EGO
Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - Joye eGo

(out of stock

So pretty much thanks to recommendations I know which kit I want to get, now I just need to know the best deal on said kits....

Any other recommendations for websites that sell cheap?

What can i get that HAS the battery that would allow me to use a LR vap (look at me, already using lingo) and still be able to handle the draw and not die out on me?

If you're going to stick to a $50 max budget the ego and it's clones are about as much as you'll get. You could get a battery mod for less than $50, but you still need atties or cartos and juice. Most mods don't come with batteries or chargers. If you're handy, check out the subforums and build your own. You might be able to come in under $50.

*Joye eGo Pouch 1 pc
*Manual 1 pc
*Standard cartridges (Marl Flavor) 5 pc



Should i pull the trigger on this?

 

[WomanOfHeart]

It looks good, but just be aware that shipping will cost around $22 because it's coming from China. If you do pull the trigger on this, choose EMS as your shipping option.

Make sure that you order juice from somewhere, too. Prefilled carts can taste awful and they won't last long. It would also be wise to buy a couple of extra attys.

 

[Drozd]

do you have any soldering skill?

if soI'd say that your best bet for maximum vapor at the cheapest route that won't bun out the battery would be a box mod...running an AW 14500 IMR high drain battery.... with a cisco LR 306 atty or possiby a semi LR 801 atty...and drip tips

 

[Icoth]

Looks kind of pricy. The site looked like it was in China. If you order from overseas make sure to add in the shipping, it's pretty high from some vendors.

 

[B-Rad_The_Mad_Vapr]

The 900mAh batteries for EGO will handle a LR atty/carto just fine.

not really....
I suggest you read this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/madvapes/127262-about-low-resistance-specific-batteries.html to fully grasp what's going on with LR atties and eGo type batteries

 

[HawtAngel]

How about something like this The "Tilt"
if you do the full kit comes with bats, lr addy, and drip tip.All you would need then is the charger.These batteries are much cheaper to replace when they go.You would then have a 3.7 unit that could handle a lr fine.Use code Bigbuyer for 10%off. His shipping is super quick much faster than china and a lot cheaper.In the end you would pay less I think and have a unit meant to be used with an lr.This would have you vaping in a few days not weeks.Think of the packs of cigs you would buy until that ego comes from China.

except I wouldn't use the BDL high drain batteries... get the AW ones..there's a 2A difference in what they're capable of providing...
the fact that they choose to sell the BDL batteries is actually the lynchpin for me as to why I WONT buy batteries there or any mod that comes with them...

 

[blackjackel]

Ok based on the thread I was asked to look at (and others), it looks like you guys were right, I'm not going to come in at under 50 bucks on a "safe" LR vape setup, plus i might end up spending more money on batteries...

I've decided that for now I'll stick with my myststik till the vap or battery craps out on me then I'll buy the ego kit listed above.

But for now, the E-liquid I'm using definately needs replacement, I've read that VG juice helps with the reduction of the throat harshness, which is what I'm most worried about...

I looked at a few e-liquid providers from the forum post and not many of them (i looked at 3) provided information on if they use VG or not, where do you guys recommend i go so I can know EXACTLY Whats in my e-liquid? I wanna be able to be precise in my purchase so I know what to expect when I buy the next time around... I prefer cheap but quality is also important, and by quality i mean no bad chemicals that might kill me, I'm not too partial to taste or whatever. Basically max "Smoke" minimum throat harshness.
