In your experience whats the best electronic cigarette?
by best I mean most realistic, in size, smoke quantities etc.
and secondly wheres the best place online to order from, I'll be submitting a full order later today.


thanks, and I'm sorry if you've seen this identical thread a million times before.

it does get asked a bunch but the answer is different for every person.

The two most popular starter kits are the 510 and the Kr808. the 510 is a three piece unit meaning it has an atty vs a cartomizer. However, now you can also get cartomizers for the 510.

I don't care much for the Kr808 but that is a long story. Many people love theirs.

Now comes the hard part, how much money do you plan to spend up front and how much do you plan to spend per week after that? Are you really going to need something that looks like a cig? A lot of people do at first but most don't care after a short while. How long are you out and about and how long are you at your computer? Do you go places where you will be away from electricity for long periods of time?

Trust me all these questions have a point, if you're really hoping to get the best advice.

First off congrats on deciding to make the leap. In answer to your question, it all depends on your style. Do you want something small and portable the approx. size of normal cig, or something larger, more robust that you can vape on all day with a single charge? There is also a learning curve, it is better to damage low cost items during you learning stage then to go custom and go through higher price tag items. Also, vaping is not for everyone. Everything is relative.
I'd say set a specific budget, only deal with trusted vendors that can be found here on the forums, and while you're at it buy some e-juice that has good reviews.
My personal choice was to start with a 510 because it was low cost and had good reviews. It came with a Personal Charging Case so battery concerns aren't an issue for me. AGAIN, I need to stress that buying a personal vaporizer is just that, a PERSONAL choice. Stick to a budget and buy the product that best suits your needs in that range.

thanks for the quick responses.

as for size, i would really like something similar size to a cig.
i saw an add the other day for a nicorette smokeless cigarette, just pulling that thing out in public would make me quit smoking..lol

I am usually around electricity, and assumed a 3 piece ecig would be a good choice, (have an extra battery lying around or something)

price isint really a concern, I want to quit smoking... its starting to disgust me, i find myself smoking for no reason. but the habit of smoking is proving hard to ditch.

are there e-juice for purchase with nicotine doses in them? to wean myself back?

You should also order some cartomizer's that way if you dont like the 3 peace setup you can make it a 2 peace..and get a couple extra batterys and some juice for refilling..then you should be good to go.

If it was me, I'd buy the Happy Ego starter kit, the 510 (180mah) batts just don't cut it. Everyone always recommends the 510 (180) as a good first choice but I hated it and thought it was a waste of money after I quickly switced up to the ego. The only difference I can see is the addt'l atomizer but you can always buy extra attys as well. You don't need a PCC with the Ego. Plus you're getting two ego batteries. Good choice with Happyvapor and a Canadian supplier.

Well that's just my 2 cents for ya. Good luck.

happy kit, extra atty, 10 ml juices couple flavors (don't buy big, you might not like it), adapter, cartoz

you'll soon know if you prefer cartoz to cart/atty, then you can buy more of what you like

a clear head, try to keep it under $100

save the pg, vg dropper bottles and all those extras for next time, and believe me, there will be many, many more next times
