Oh no!!
Just had a clients computer go down.... NOOOO!!
Going to be away for at least an hour.
better take the experimental kit.....
Carto on SID..... hell, I hope nobody sees me.
lol i sometimes use carts on my TECs....that's the benefit of having the 510 connections so that if you don't want to "hassle", which btw really isn't a hassle, you can buy carts from any store and use the better batteries to vape them on
WOW! Thanks everybody for your replies . . . . it will take me some time (tomorrow now) to digest everything that's been posted.
I was almost sure that I'd try Green Smoke as a Starter Kit . . . but now I'm not so sure!!
As I'm very new to this (and my reasons for attempting the switch will be like everybody else's I expect), so what I feel I want initially is:
1. A cigarette 'look-alike' with a similar 'draw'
2. Something that will effectively give me the same hit of nicotine per e-cig as I currently get from a JPS Black (0.9 mg per cig)
3. A simple, hassle free way of using the e-cig, both at home, in my car (maybe) or when I'm out and about on walks. Part of me feels that having to do refills myself is going to add more time and hassle?? Equally, I want to save as much money as possible by swapping to an e-cig.
The replies have given me food for thought . . . . I guess I could always try Green Smoke as a starter, but then I again, I'd be concerned that if I felt it wasn't good enough, then it might put me off trying another type!
Sorry people . . . I'm rambling . . . I will be making a decision hopefully tomorrow, so if anyone has any further comments or support, they'd be most welcome
as far as greensmoke goes, I do have one of the kits that I linked to (and for the price you can't really say no to try it out) as far as a cigarette-look-a-like it is one of the better batteries I have tried and I really like their clove carts but yes the price of their carts are outrageous
but that's why you get the e9 to 510 adapter and you can then buy any 510 cart to use or even use a tank and fill it with your own juice.
cigarette-look-a-likes are nice to have as an emergency back up...and for new vapors it is hard sometimes to move away at first from the whole it has to look like a cigarette and I understand that. However keep in mind these are the entry level to vaping....
think of it like this
cigarette-look-a-likes (usually battery life is a few hours at best and carts a day or two or less depending on use) = the most undesirable, cheapest of the cheap, generic cigarette brand (sure you're smoking, but what are you smoking)
ego style pv's (usually battery life is 4+ hours depending on mAh and carts same as above or tanks can last half a day to a week depending on size and use of tank) are more of your name brand cigarettes...good quality and more options
vv/vw mods = imported cigs/cigars...better quality, more enjoyable "smoke" and the batteries can last anywhere from half a day to a couple of days before needing recharged depending on your use, or you can get into advanced mods that use actual batteries and you can use one while the other battery charges and never worry about waiting on the device to recharge to use it
I really highly suggest stepping out of your comfort zone and getting a variable voltage ego twist, a glass protank style tank and a metal vivi nova tank and then some juice to fill with, you won't be let down...
however as you stated you want the cig-a-likes here are a few links to some trials to save you money and let you at least try different things, I have personally tried these
as already posted
Free Greensmoke Starter Kit, while supplies last for new users only
and then the cheapest e9 to 510 adapter I've found (and use)
E9 to 510 adapter
So for like $5 to $10 you can't beat a complete kit
one battery, one usb charger and some cartomizers and then the adapter to be able to use any 510 cartomizers or 510 tanks
these 2 are for disposables to try out
Free NJoy Use coupon code Tryking (may have to pay for shipping)
and then
RealFeel not free, you pay $5.00 "for shipping" and get 3 of them.
[edit]not sure why the link is being changed and results in page not found but here's the url
realfeelecig.com/free-trial.html[/edit]
of course there's
blu....they are ok, more widely known, hit and miss on quality
clayton i really like the taste of their carts but the battery is less than desirable, just not powerful enough and have to really take a hard draw to get it to work
greensmoke, best battery I've found so far but it is not a 510 device so you need an adapter to use other carts with it, carts are expensive
MarkTen is a new cig-a-like out on the market and so far it is by far my favorite but there again it is not a true 510 device so you can't use other carts with it and it's still so new there's no adapters yet and only comes in flavorless or menthol carts but so far the best battery life and draw for a cig-a-like i've found
NJoy, i have only ever tried their disposables but to me tastes more cigarette like
Mystic is another new one that is supposedly an up and coming I have yet to try them
lmfao I work in a gas station/convenience store so I've taken it upon myself to try what we sell so I can give honest views to people that come into the store
[edit] saving money in the long run you will be best to move onto a variable voltage mod with a tank and ejuice....it's hassle free...fill tank with your favorite ejuice and vape away
much cheaper than cig-a-likes and more rewarding/satisfying and lasts a lot longer
as for about the same nic level I'd say like others that somewhere around 12 - 18 mg nic would probably be about the same.
and then later on once you are comfy
to really cut costs you can start to diy ejuice
then the real fun begins lmfao
