New to E-cigs, need help.

[NoobPatrol]

I am looking at a particular model i have seen and heard of people i know using, what i am wondering is i see this information about the area where the liquid goes needing replacing after time (what is this called?) I want to buy one that has a system that is not disposable but is washable, and has a good battery life and so on. Would someone mind checking this out and letting me know if it is a good move?

Also if you dont mind, on canvape.com letting me know what would be my best options for long battery life, good batter use, etc.

Here it is
901(808d) 1100mAh Black Starter Kit

Driven by a 3.7 volt 1100mAh rechargeable manual battery. With the rapid USB charger, 1.5-2 hours is enough to get the battery fully charged. A 100% fully charged battery can support a heavy user to vape for many many hours without worry! The 901(808d) starter kit is the best choice for users that want to hammer their 808d kanger carto's with a thread that naturally fits. The 901 atomizers provides mild and smooth taste with enhanced throat hit. 2 - 901 atomizers 2 - 3.7V 1100mAh rechargeable batteries in Black 1 - atomizer/carto cone 1 - USB wall adapter 1 - USB 901 rapid battery charger 10 - Black flat tip cartridges

That is probably the best starter kit they have on their site. You will get batteries with long life between charges. I would suggest some cartomizers with your order so that you have an option to attys. Also get some samples of juice.

Welcome to ECF, and ask about any questions you have.

I am not sure what you are asking? Which particular model?

 

[cosmic charlie]

It looks like an ego 510 threading. 901 has male or exposed threads on the battery and the attys look like EM 510 attys. Not that any of that is bad but I might look for a supplier that either knows what they are actually selling or can get pictures of their actual product right.

 

[araczynski]

i think most people would recommend a 510 threaded device over a 901, at least here in the states. many more atomizing devices use the 510 thread, i.e you'd have more options to work with.

there are some rebuildable atomizers out there, but they haven't been all that popular for some reason, probably more hassle then they're worth. especially considering the super cheap prices of cartomizers and that they can last quite a long time. i've been using five 1.5ohm dual coil cartomizers (use each one each day, different flavors) for well over a month and they're all still working, they cost me $5 total.

why would i waste money buying rebuilding supplies and my time rebuilding them?

I don't know much about the 901's honestly, but this
eGo LCD-Tank Kit 1100mAh Black or Stainless V2
for 49.95 is a good price and what seems to me you are talking about getting rid of cartriges and going for the tank system that can be washed.

 

[cosmic charlie]

And I didn't look at the second picture the manual in the second picture says EM Riva. 510 pic 901 listing? The riva does come in a 901 configuration I believe so who really knows should be a good battery all attys and cartos are disposiable and will wear out, try both and order extra!

I was thinking this as well. Didn't look like a 901 connection, but I could be very wrong. As to some of your questions, lets see what I can help you with. The area where the e-juice (liquid) is generally a cartomizer or atomizer. Personally, being fairly new to this as well, the cartomizers work much better for me as the atomizers seem to have a higher learning curve to their usage, however they do seem to provide a much purer flavor IMO. As to being able to get a set-up that is washable and not disposable, I haven't seen anything that works in that manner. Replacing cartos and attys are just part of e-cigs. There are some threads that talk about washing out your cartos and attys with a number of different methods, but these parts have a life span. Hope this helps some.

I'm not familiar with that kit so I won't attempt to speak on it, however, the battery size is nice for nearly an all-day charge and the fact that the kit comes with 2 batteries is a good thing.

For "washable" you'll need to look for the word "tank" and even those will need replacing eventually. Cartridges and cartomizers are also washable in a manner of speaking, but I'm thinking you truly mean rinse it out and fill it up and that would be the simplicity of a tank. Just keep in mind, that tanks can be frustrating due to possible leaking and if your battery is not sealed, leaking can ruin it.

Welcome to ECF and congratulations on making the choice to vape!! Keep reading the forum threads and you'll learn so very much that will guide you through and don't hesitate to ask questions!!

Being that you are in Canada you might want to get your post count up and head over to the canadian area seeing as customs is as they are they will probably be more help to you over there.

 

[NoobPatrol]

thanks for the help, my next question would be about the batteries, is 1100 mha one of the best? what is the difference with that and a 280 for example, or other battery sizes? can someone please compare them all for usage, charge lasting, etc?

Thanks for all the help!

 

[Trucapri]

Its approximately 1 hour of use per mah, so 1100 would keep you vaping without a recharge for about 10 to 11 hours. As with any other battery, eventually it'll will start getting weak and won't hold a full charge or produce good power. That's why it is recommended to always have a back-up for your back-up. While one is in use, one is charging, and one in the drawer. Then when its time to toss one, you order a replacement and never have to go without while waiting on the mailman.

 

[NoobPatrol]

awesome!!!

thank you!!

 

[NoobPatrol]

How long do you need to cape to get the effect of a cigarette?

 

[Paradox28]

Vaping amount varies...you'll usually ending up vaping a little more than you would smoke but if you want to be strict about a limit...6-10 draws should give you a good cigarette fix.

 

[Trucapri]

Your nic level will determine how much vaping it will take to get that smoking satisfaction, at least as far as the actual cravings go. The rest is based off of your flavor choices and the feel of your vape. Just be prepared to play around with all the variables in the beginning, and going forward, to keep you vaping experience up to par. I find that when straight vaping isn't cutting it for me, I hold the vapor longer in my mouth and exhale through my nose to intensify the nic absorbtion.

Keep reading and asking questions and you'll find the way that works for you!

So i have heard from a couple today that the e-cigs didnt help them quit smoking, kind of a downer, but i didnt ask if they just bought cheap dollar store models or what, i am dedicated to making this work! I am hoping to have my unit tomorrow morning! I am pumped!

Any recommendations what to do when i first recieve the unit (besides read the instructions)

 

[zubomb]

I`m guessing that if you are in Canada then the couple you overheard tried to quit with a non-niq. That may not be the case but it`s very likely given the retail ban here.

charge the batteries

i've had no problem quitting smoking as soon as i started vaping, but not everyone's the same of course. as long as the nic is there, i don't think your body really cares where its coming from, might even be helpful if it tastes (the vapor) like something you like, so even if the nic transplant doesn't take immediately, the flavor(s) will get their hooks into you and keep you coming back until the transplant does take.

of course flavor might not be what you're actually tasting for the first few days while your taste buds regenerate...

also, you might find yourself vaping much more often than you ever smoked, don't equate the two. nic intake happens differently, not as quickly, and not in the same amounts as smoking.

i started at 24mg nic level, and while i got a nice throat hit out of it, it didn't take long for me to start getting headaches/etc from vaping too much, so dropped it to 18 for about 5 months, now i'm going to drop it to 12, since i vape even more now

The 901 is a good atomizer but as mentioned above, there are fewer options with the 901. However, even with a 901 connection, all you need is a 901 to 510 adapter which costs $3.00 and you can still use any 510 carto or atty.

Being new, I would not suggest getting a "tank" system. Just way too many issues reported from people using the tanks.
