Like many others on here i have been swindled into the smokingeverywhere scam and was boned out of 150 bucks. I hate the damn thing. the carts last me about 20 minutes...thats not even 2 cigarettes.

Ive been reading a lot about the vapor king 510 and it sounds like a really awesome ecig. I was wondering if there were any problems or issues i needed to be aware of with it, before i purchase.

The smokingeverywhere gold that i have is terrible and it doesnt deliver a good throat hit. I wanna feel like i am smoking a Camel filter, which i know i could get with a better ecig that produces a larger amount of vapor as well as a throat hit.

I really like the look of the black with blue LED and the manual button of the vapor king. So any advice or suggestion would be very much appreciated.

Oh and I got my money back from SE. Raising cain at there kiosk is the best way to get results.

I also saw a stainless steel pen style that i dont know what it was but it was 29.99 so that might be awesome as well.

Thanks.

Buy a Joye 510 from Cignot your Midwest Electronic Cigarette store. when they're back in stock. 35 bucks. Free shipping. I live in Seattle and I get stuff from them in 2-3 days. The 510 is what the majority of folks here use, and they seem to be one of the best. There's lots others, but this is a good (great) one to start with.
 
I just got my 801s today (Rocky Mountain Vapor) and I'm thrilled with the penstyle already. I've tried out some different styles before deciding on the 801.

If you want a big throat hit (like a Camel), the 510 or 801 are your best bets. Of course, you might want to get some 24mg juice to match the buzz. Good luck man!

I got my Vapor King from Vapor 4 Life, on the recommendation of a friend who'd been through a couple of disappointing brands before V4L.

I LOVE the whole system (Ultimate Ultimatum kit). It covers all bases.

Great quality, fast service. I couldn't be more pleased.

Good luck! There's a ton of information and support here.

Happy vaping!

Is the Vapor King really a 510? I thought it was an 808D or something like that.

Anyway, I *love* my Vapor King. No problems and it delivers a great throat hit and flavor - plus long life on the batteries. I would highly recommend it. I bought the Ultimate Ultimatum kit and I love it.

I second the vapor king motion. After extensive reading on forums, I found there were a lot of people that spent a lot of money on different models and still weren't happy until they got the VK. Yep, there are a lot of cheaper models out there, but I decided to get the Vapor King as my first e-cig and I am a HAPPY VAPER! You can not beat the quality and exceptional customer service provided by vapor4life. Steve, Mark and Leaford will do whatever it takes to make sure you are SMILIN! They want to see you give up those nasty analogs and be happy. Take a browse through the vapor4life subforum in the suppliers section and judge for yourself. I have been vaping for 25 days now with my VK and have been analog free for 9 days. (from 40-50 analogs a day!)

Here is what i recommend:

Electronic Cigarette | Electronic Cigarettes | E-Cigarettes | E-Cigs from Smoore -

1 x M401/2 starter kit
1 x USB Passthrough
10 x Atomisers
100ml to 260ml of E-Liquid (recommended flavor: Marlboro)
10-20 blank carts
2 -4 Manual Batts (either M401 or M402 size)

You should be ok for a while. When you are at a place with loud noises, change to your manual batts. The USB Passthrough is a great piece so don't forget this in your order no matter what. Atomisers are only $6 a piece when ordering 10pcs. The liquid amount you wish to order is your choice. 260ml is currently going for only $66 so you can decide if you wanna stock up.

Hope this helps. :)

Before you take notice of any of the "the e-cig I use is the best" posts, think about what you want form an e-cig. Some factors to consider are:

Looks
Flavour
Throat hit
Vapour production
Battery life
Cost
Reliability
Availability
Is the company you're buying from reputable / well established



I think I just ticked all the boxes with my EVO

the most common complaint I've read about the 510 is, the battery life sucks eggs and the atomizers have about a month lifespan.

I'd recommend a M401 or Intellicig EVOlution for your basic go-to - never had a melting cart or scorched filling with one - cartridges last 2-3 cigarettes worth, no vapor? pop on a new cart. Battery life several hours before recharge. Pre-filled cartridges are about $5 a 5pk and can be refilled indefinitely. Atomizers are steam machines and run around $7-9. Starter kits around $40. In my opinion, the M401/EVO are the ole' reliable beemers of the e-cig world.

Try a KR808d-1 for when you are out and about. (large capacity disposable cart with it's atomizer built inside it) KR's are very convenient, but they have a nasty habit of scorching the filling due to poor internal design/inconsistencies in factory fill level. Battery life several hours. Can use dedicated KR batteries or a 901 battery with an adapter. Batteries under $20, cartomizers will run you from $8-12 a 5-pk, but can be refilled a few times if you're careful and don't burn the things up. Starter kits around $40.

Get yourself some 0mg liquid along with some 11mg or 18mg. At first you may want to reach for the ecig pretty often to satisfy the hand-to-mouth thing. That's where the 0mg will come in. Hit the nicotine for cravings and keep going back to the 0mg as much as you can. You can always bump up 0mg with unflavored or flavored higher nic liquid or vice versa.

There is 'camel' eliquid available. No eliquid will give you the same sensation as a real cigarette and no eliquid will give you exactly the same taste. Your nicotine high will be delayed 20 minutes more or less, not the instant feeling you get with a cigarette. You may find a mix of several tobacco flavors is what is best for you. Or you may go nuts for Marguerita cartomizers or Peach eliquid. Many vendors have sample packs or sizes. Spend a few days price/reputation-shopping around, it will be worth the time and effort. Most eliquid is from DeKang/Boge - some is from Kanger - two US manufacturers are Johnson's Creek and Vermont Vapor. Read the eliquid reviews - the Chinese have a very different palate when it comes to flavors. There's not much basic stuff the Chinese websites sell that you can't get for about the same price from a stateside vendor. Spend some time reading in the buying and selling subforum, sellers forum, to see what deals are going on currently. Check out the vendors specific subforums to see what their customers are saying about them. A basic kit and two or three bottles of e-liquid should be more than enough for you to determine whether e-cigarettes are for you or not.

Good luck.

I would have to agree & I've had a 510 to compare them to.

UPDATE!

I received my Vapor King Ultimate starter kit yesterday!

I must say I am now ready to quit those nasty analogs and move onto vaping pleasure. The vapor king is a beast when it comes to vapor, throat hit, and flavor.

I am 100% satisfied with how it turned out for me after my bad experience with smoking everywhere. To top it off V4L sent me an extra pack of cartomizers in doc pepper flavor and an extra long battery!

I already placed another order with them and i plan to keep doing so until i am all kinds of stocked up on flavors!

The vapor king is everything i expected from an e-cig and more. The battery life is outstanding as well as the life of the cartomizers. Ive been puffing away on the same cart for a total of 6 hours between yesterday and this morning and I see no signs of the cart slowing down anytime soon.

Thank you to Vapor4Life and to the people on here for such awesome reviews of so many different kinds of ecig. You all are going to help me quit analogs and this is just step one for me!

Thanks again and happy vaping!!!!

*takes a huge cloud of Cola*
