new and would like some tips :)

[Scamz]

Hi i am completely new to this whole e cig thing and wish to get some opinions and tips. i have done my research and the two cigs that have caught my eye is the janty stick and the Janty Dura/yeti 510,titan etc... i hear these produce vary nice thick vapor. My question is which one do you think i should get, which produces more vapor. i don't really care on battery life as i would buy spare batteries or a PCC.

or maybe there is a better performer?

please bare in mind i live in the uk so some retailers will be impossible or hard to buy from.

thanks

Often biggest vapour is from bigger battery mods like these:-

There are no problems buying from the UK - between e-cigs.co.uk, Totally Wicked UK and Janty (JantyShop) you can buy just about any the the major models - 510/Titan/Dura, Stick, Screwdriver, Prodigy, Evo/401, 901 etc etc

Have you read up on auto vs manual batteries/models? Some people have found the auto 510 etc batteries unreliable (I understand the manual ones are fine). If you want an auto device I'd recommend a 401 or a 901.

If you don't mind having a device which looks nothing like a cigarette (and which is manual) - I'd go for a Stick, Screwdriver or Prodigy

(I have a 901 and a Screwdriver - both which do it for me in their own ways, but others models are good too)

The Janty Stick seems to outperform the Dura-C but not by a whole lot. That is not to say the Janty Stick is bad, it is saying that the Dura-C is that good.

You really can not go wrong with either one.

If you want a really good place to buy your stuff from I would suggest iVapour | Electronic Cigarettes | Janty Stick ? Janty Kissbox ? Janty Dura-C ? Janty Mini Fogger ? Janty E-Liquid & Cartridges

Several have said the 510 produces a 'denser' vapor. I don't have a JS to compare to, but have found this generally true for the 510 compared to other e-cigs I own.

Me personally, I love my manual 510 that I got from eastmall (China). I had no problems ordering from them and because of there unbelievable customer service, they now have a life long customer!! I have ordered from a lot of the suppliers listed here and while most have good customer service, eastmall just blew me away with theirs!!

I much prefer the manual vs. the automatic. It takes a little getting used to at first, but then it's second nature. I had problems with automatic batteries going bad from the liquid getting into them (my own fault). I also had problems with automatic batteries going off by themselves, so it just depends really. It also depends on what you will like yourself. Everyone is different from style, size and vapor performance from e-cigs to the flavor of liquids.

I agree 93.47%....... (It is DW after all)

If you must have a "cig looking" unit, then the 510 (Dura/Yeti) is the way to go.

If lots of vapor is your main concern, anything with a manual switch should do well. I think the particular atomizer you use has more to do with the amount of vapor than the particular model. I don't have a 510, but I have 801s, 901s and 401s and I have used certain atomizers with each that have produced huge clouds of vapor. I also have atomizers (even new ones) for each model that produce wimpy vapor. Sometimes they get better after a break in period, sometimes they don't. Since you're in the UK, why not go with a screwdriver? They run higher voltage and should give you much vapor.

I believe batteries have as much to do with vapor as all the other factors combined.

If you're looking for lots of vapor and a good quality and consistent throat hit, like a lot of us, the e-cig models that have a manual switch are a good choice.

The importance of the manual switch is that it heats the atomizer portion of the e-cig to a higher temp which gives you warmer vapor, lots of vapor, and a good quality throat hit. Another important feature of the manual switch is that it does not have a short cut off or time out to the drag.

For someone new to e-cigs, I would recommend the 510 e-cig model. It's a manual switch e-cig that is reliable, durable, and does what an e-cig is suppose to do.

510 model e-cigs
USA Suppliers
Joye 510 ( e-Smokey Treats - Electronic Cigarette's, The healthy alternative to traditional tobacco cigarette's )
Dura-C ( Janty USA )
Yeti ( AltSmoke - Electronic Cigarettes, DSE901, The Yeti & More. )

UK Supplier
Dura-C ( iVapour | Electronic Cigarettes | Janty Stick ? Janty Kissbox ? Janty Dura-C ? Janty Mini Fogger ? Janty E-Liquid & Cartridges )

China Supplier
Eastmall 510 ( 510 Manual Switch Starter Kit - Black - e-Cigs Manual Switch 510 - Eastmall International Co.,Ltd )

You may also want to include a 510 passthrough with your order. The passthrough is identical to a standard 510 rechargeable battery except that the end portion is wired to a standard USB connector. You simply plug the USB connector into a USB port or portable power pack and can vape all day long without having to change or charge batteries.

The e-liquid you buy will also play an important part in satisfying your nicotine cravings and also in providing a good throat hit. The higher you go in nicotine strength, the better the throat hit. 36 mg nicotine (the highest strength right now) does give a nice throat hit but made me sick and gave me headaches. I smoked 2-3 packs of ciggies per day for several years - so just because you smoked a lot doesn't mean that the higher nicotine is right for you.

For the first 2 months of vaping I used 18 mg (high) nicotine strength and was quite happy with that. I am currently now using 12 mg (medium) nicotine strength and still feel satisfied.

For a first purchase of e-liquid, I would recommend you buy the flavor or flavors you think will best suit your needs. You'll find the right strength for you. There are a lot of suppliers that have good liquid so the field is open there. Wherever you place your e-cig order you will also be able to buy e-liquid.

Finding the right e-cig model and the e-liquid flavor and nic strength that suits you is what is going to make you a successful e-smoker.

Hope this helps - Good Luck

I agree. Apply enough power and even a wimpy atomizer will put out more vapor. Standard kit batteries only supply about 3.6-3.7 volts, which is sometimes not enough I think. For that very reason I have a 5v Prodigy on pre-order with Puresmoker. Hopefully it will ship next week.

I am looking to buy another model of e-cigg. I would like one that has a PCC available for it....any suggestions? I prefer the smaller models. I know the YETI has one available how about the 901? 401?

 

[KreeL]

Well, heck. I guess I can tell you what to do as well.

Buy a 510-C. Why? Less initial cost. Great performer, and doesn't take half a bottle of juice to crank it up ala SD and Stick.

I tried the 801 Magnum mod for three days -compliments of breakfastchef. I loved it. Juice comsumption brought me back down to earth. I get all the throat hit I want, and all the flavor and vapor I want, from the JOYEous little 510. Just MHO.

The screwdriver, like most standard e-cigs, uses a 3.7v rated battery. Fully charged it puts out 4.2v but under load it it drops around 3.7v. The advantage the screwdriver offers is the manual switch and longer battery life. The batteries used in the screwdriver are rated at 1000 mAh and standard e-cig batteries are usually around 150 mAh. The disadvantage of the screwdriver is that it uses an unprotected battery with no PCB where standard e-cigs use a PCB that prevents over discharge of the battery.

The Prodigy uses a resistor that reduces the voltage to something a bit over 5v. The reason the voltage is regulated to over 5v is so that when it is placed under load the voltage is exactly 5v. The prodigy also has a PCB to protect from over discharge, or rather I should say it is my understanding that the prodigy has a PCB.
