Hello, I am new to e cigarette forum, and right away I would like to ask a couple of questions to not start many new threads.

So a couple of days ago I have received my e cigarette (elgarette), and I must say Im pretty dissapointed. It produces very little vapour and the battery life is very short. The one I ordered before from china for about $10 have produced more vapour.

Now I am looking to buy another e cigarette and would like to ask for recommendations based of few things Id like to point out :)

So I am looking for a cheap (I dont smoke very often) e cigarette, but also should have cheap refills. I was looking at v2 cigs, but then I saw that a pack of 5 refills costs €10 wich is a little too much for what Im looking for.

Based on my experience, I would recommend for all who start into vaping to avoid the analog lookalikes, they are just too expensive and don't last long. The cheapest refill is a tank atty where you just add eliquid, much cheaper than buying packs of cartos on a regular basis. I think an ego twist setup with an evod or aspire tank is great bang for the buck. You can replace the coil when it burns out and just use eliquid and recharge your batteries. The twist allows you to dial in the voltage depending on the mix you vape so you can try different juices. but if an analog lookalike is what you really want look at smoov.

Can you tell us what country you are in? 10 euros (5 refills) seems quite reasonable.
There is a popular e-cig in the UK that charges 25 euros for 5.
They are possibly the most expensive brand in the world......
The British are fools.

I'll agree with the above. The cigarette-sized batteries are just too small to do what we want them to do - mimic smoking a cigarette.

To get this "cigarette experience", you need at minimum an eGo class battery. A Vision Spinner or Joytech Twist are excellent choices. For the juice attachments which go on top of the battery and hold the e-juice, be sure to choose some that have replaceable coil heads. The heads will need to be replaced every 2 - 3 weeks ($2-3 each).

I'd advise you to not baulk from spending a little more money for a quality vaping setup. You're considering doing this to save your life from a lifetime of smoking, right?

How can you put a price on better health? Consider how much you spent a month on cigarettes. Once you have purchased batteries, a charger, and tanks your proceeding monthly expenses will be only for replacement coils ($6) and replacement e-liquid ($40). You'll actually be saving money in the long run.

Don't let the size of these e-cigs keep you from trying them. You're no longer going to be a smoker...you're a vaper. They're different but the same. The larger units will work to get you off of cigarettes, the cigarette-size batteries probably won't. Buy the smaller units and you'll be back here in 2 weeks asking what works better.

If you want the cig-a-like form factor, IMHO, the best one is the Eroll. Other than the Njoy disposable, it comes closest to the smoke's size and weight. That being the case, its small but the PCC its carried in will keep you in a charged battery at all times. Well, untill the PCC itself needs recharging but the way you vape it will last all day for sure. It comes in a kit of two batteries and the PCC. It takes 20 minutes to charge one and a fully charged one lasts 25 minutes. Using the Type A Joye atty which is the same one used in bigger setups it really delivers pretty much the same as any regulated 3.7 volt battery but is regulated meaning the first draw is as strong as the last before it needs recharging. This is a higher voltage than a Joye Ego used regulated which is 3.3 volts. There's a subforum for it here where you can learn more before purchasing if it sounds like something you are interested in.
