New user! Recommendations needed!

[firststep]

Hello folks! I guess it's time for me to use e-cigs! I normally just smoke 1-2 sticks a day (sometimes none) up to 8 sticks a night at work (depending who I work with). Still, I want to stop and my girlfriend is nagging me! I need recommendations for which ecig or vaporizer to get. I'm looking for something similar to a real cigarette by heat/taste/vapor/throat and lung feel.

I've looked into these ones but they have different models and I don't know which one to get and WHICH vendor. I would also like to know which flavors come close to "marlboro lights" as well as other good flavored ones!

joyetech - eGo, eGO-T, eGo-C. Which one will suit my taste?

Thank you!

Hi and welcome to ECF.

I normally just smoke 1-2 sticks a day (sometimes none) up to 8 sticks a night at work (depending who I work with)

You are a light smoker so a cig like PV would prolly be best.

I'm looking for something similar to a real cigarette by heat/taste/vapor/throat and lung feel.

Some of this does have to do with the PV but mostly with the juice.

Juice Components
Flavoring usually about 15%- could be higher or lower depending on the flavor used.
PG enhances flavor, TH and lung hit- water like
VG= vapor and can mute flavor- thick
Nicotine- TH (throat hit), lung hit and our need for nicotine. The MOST important ingredient in regards to TH and lung hit.
Standards in the industry are 80/ 20 or 70/ 30 PG/ VG.

Joyetech - eGo, eGO-T, eGo-C. Which one will suit my taste?

These are slightly larger than a cig sized PV. I would recommend the Volt from Smokeless Image as you are a light smoker. They are ECF listed/ verified ( they must abide by a code of ethics to remain listed here) have a HUGE and loyal following and prolly the best CS in the industry.

Hi and welcome. An eGo, eGo-T and eGo-C are all the same battery; the "T" and "C" refer to the delivery system (what holds the liquid and gets it to the heating element) that comes with the kit.

Just get a genuine joyetech ego with variable voltage. Great ecig.

Hi firstep,
I'll second the recommendation for Smokeless Image - I have some myself and found them very good. I used to smoke 45 cigs a day so I think they would suit you fine as a light smoker wanting to swap to vaping.

You need two batteries, one to charge while you use the other one. There are automatics and manuals - the manuals have alittle push button, and give you more control. Some people prefer the autos - just draw on it.

Here's a link to their starter kits:

The Standard kit would probably suit your needs. I'd recommend getting the 78mm batteries - still ciggish size but more battery life. They last about 2.5 hours of actual use.

If you want an ego size battery they have those as well - including a variable voltage spinner:
Smokeless Image | Only The Best Electronic Cigarette | Volt Spinners - Variable Voltage Battery

So you can upgrade to a bigger size battery and it will be compatible with your Smokeless Image attachments.

I'd recommend starting with some regular size cartomizers:
Smokeless Image | The Best Electronic Cigarette

Those are blank ones you can fill with your own juice - you can also buy them prefilled to try out flavors, or get a sample pack.

Here's a pic showing you the sizes next to a cigarette, click on the pic for a bigger view:



If you buy blank cartomizers you can use juice from any vendor. Buy small bottles, 5-15 ml and try out different flavors.
There are coupon codes also -
10VOLTECF for 10% off entire purchase
CompareOur808d for 15% off cartomizers only

I don't have any affiliation with Smokeless Image, but have used their ecigs and they kept me off cigarettes. All the best!

Thanks guys! But I found myself building my own! I bought all genuine eGo T with 1000mah battery, and a set of empty cartridges and atomizers. Of course charger and flavoring as well. I was wondering if cartomizers are better than atomizers + cartridges?

 

[kiwivap]

Well done. Get some cartomizers. For an Ego 2.0 ohm single coil cartomizers are good. Atomizers + cartridges is old tech. Atomizers by themselves are useful for flavor testing, but cartomizers are better for vaping.

Another thing i forgot to ask. Are atomizers/cartidges disposable? How about cartomizers?

-thanks

I have a DCT tank setup that uses cartomizers. (Mine are called boges and are Standard resistance) i usually get a week or so out of a cartomizer before the flavor goes bad, and i throw them away.. I understand there are ways to clean them, but honestly, they are only 2-3$ and well worth it in my opinion.

They come in punched and un punched style the punched is for a tank setup like mine.

 

[swillpup]

welcome. I have heard that Redds is a very good kit.

Just stay away from Blu. All three of my batteries died in the first week. Total waste of money. I have a Joye vision 2.0 clearomizer and an ego-t upgrade batt now and i'm really happy with it. The clearomizer is great because it's rebuildable, you can get new heads that just screw on inside the 'mizer for like $5 for 2 of them, or you can rebuild the heads with nichrome/silica.

I'll third the recommendation for Smokeless Image! I'm thrilled with what I have received from them so far!
