Need some direction

[pekulior]

I'm looking to change over to e-smoking because of a couple of things. First off, obviously, is smoking isn't that good for you apparently. I think I remember hearing it on the news or cracked.com or something. Second, my cigarettes are kind of sucking now because of the whole FSC thing. Bad taste, can't keep the freaking thing lit, etc etc.

I've been looking up information for the last 4 hours or so and it seems like there's still a lot to go for the technology, but it sounds like the manufacturers have gotten a good start. I think this is the way to go. No butts, no ashes, no going outside to smoke when it's cold enough to freeze hell over. I've heard a lot about njoy, Smartfixx, Crown7 and Janty Kissbox being the best ones. I've read that the minis, while making me not feel weird "smoking" them, don't seem to do too well at the moment. I've decided that I would probably be able to get used to the pen devices, but I'm not sure which one is the better way to go. If it's going to be a pen, I want it to be fairly stylish, I suppose. Price isn't really a concern because of the effect and since it's not as bad as puffing on a cancer stick. I would prefer one that is in the US. I've seen that both Smartfixx and Crown7 have great customer service, which is a big seller for me.

Any help would be appreciated!

Well, I can't really reccomend Crown7 anymore. The owner is a great guy, and the customer service is superb, but he just resells E-cig.com products with his own branding, and e-cig.com products are demonstrably bad. And I don't know about SmartFixx. But for about the same price as either of those, you can get an njoy, using the 20% forum discount code "Smokey". Njoy also has fantastic customer service, and has recently made a couple of improvements to their atomizer design so that it's about the second best smoke producer and second easiest draw I've tried. (The first best was a Janty, but they're not in the US ) And they have a Burgundy model which I think is stylish, for what it's worth.

I like both NJOY and Janty. Janty does have a distributor for the United States and will open on July 1.

My next purchase will be Meltrex's e-cig.

Meltrex's e-cig.

Although I can't comment on the products yet but MyEcig.com has great customer service. I actually have my 1st E-cig from him in the mail. He's a forum member and has a wonderful reputation, that's why I went with that brand.

i have seen and witnessed AMAZING customer service at Smart Fixx as well. It seems that the Smart Fixx e-cig is very very similar to the Njoy. Everything seems to be interchangeable. I opted for the Smart Fixx over Njoy personally.

Just my opinion. I would go with some of the more reputable companies ...

Janty
Njoy
SmartFixx
Meltrex

thanks for the help! After looking at some more stuff, I think I have narrowed it down to 2 different e-cigarettes. Either Meltrex's E-cig or a Janty Kissbox Classic (I can wait until July 1 for the US Site). I have a question though. What's the difference between the automatic and manual switch? That one has me confused at the moment.

The automatic switch is just like any other e-cig you activate the atomizer by sucking on the cartridge.

On the manual switch you press a button to activate the atomizer and then suck on the cartridge. The manual switch saves on battery life. The e-cig is only activated by pushing the button.

Besides saving on battery life, using the manual switch gave me more and more reliable vapor. The traditional automatic pressure switch varies the current as the strength of your draw varies. The manual switch is on/off, so you get consistant current and consistant vapor.

i would have to disagree on the variable factor leaford.. some poor ones might seem to work this way but i think they are intended to be simple on off switches..

a good one works will very little suck.. a less than good one dosnt.. it kinda make poor contact without the hard suck and appears to be variable.. they would need some kinda of variable resistor to produce genuinely variable voltage.. what u are seeing is simply poor switch contact from a gentle suck..

a manual simply saves wasted suck.. heated up the liquid then suck.. the auto takes a couple of seconds of wasted sucking while the atomizer heats up..

a manual should be more reliable.. and give more consistent results.. having said that the pressure switches in my e-cig pipes work superbly with the gentlest of sucks.. the pressure switches in my e-cig minis are rubbish and need a hard suck to come on properly.. a gentle suck produce intermittent switch contact.. it aint (clever) variable simply a crap pressure switch..

pressure switches are one of the things that make a break the device.. a simple manual on off switch removes the inconsistency of less than stellar pressure switches..

so it would be better to get one with an automatic or manual switch like the Janty then eh?

 

[trog100]

its swings and roundabouts.. it depends on other variables.. a good light suck pressure switch is nice.. a poor one isnt.. a manual switch should be more reliable but again if its crap switch it wont be..

there is no hard and fast rule.. with a kissbox u do at least get both options,, but then again u pay more for it.. a manual switch can help a wimpish device produce more smoke.. but with a good device and a good pressure switch it shouldnt be needed..
