Newbie help please

[Meltz]

Ok so i am dieing to buy an e cig but just dont know which one to get. I like the idea of the ones where you just screw in the cart and its ready to go, instead of having to use liquid and such.

I think that Green Smoke looks good, abit pricy i think but it does say that you get the biggest hits and vapor from them which i want out of my e cig. I bought some crappy one at the mall the other day, was almost impossible to take a hit from, sucked on it so hard and barly any vapor came out.

So can anyone point me in the right direction? Should i go with Green Smoke?

This will get you started:

510 eGo Kit

You are talking about Kr808's with cartomizers.
Thats a good e-cig to start with.
I personally would stay away from Green Smoke, way over priced and NOT better than others.
There are many suppliers here on ECF that carry the model you are looking for, have a look around and compare
One company that I know of the only carries this model is V4L, they are here on the forums.
Good luck and welcome to ECF!

I will second what BadThad said, in that the eGo is a very good place to start. For one, the battery will last much longer before needing to be changed to another fully-charged battery. And that becomes important when you find yourself changing batteries every hour or so, sometimes less, depending on your vaping patterns. The only thing that I would add to this is, you're probably going to find out at some point fairly early on, that you will be running through pre-filled cartridges quite rapidly. Which means that if you don't plan ahead for that, you will have no more carts before you know it, and then what? Back to analogs? I think you can see where I'm going with this. Either you need to purchase a very significant number of carts, OR (better IMHO and cheaper) purchase some juice in bottles so that you can refill your carts when they do run dry. It's really not as troublesome or complicated as it may first appear to be.

Ok so ill go with the juice then. Now im abit confused. Im gonna buy that 510 eGo Kit but does that come with carts that i can refill with juice? If so is it hard to refill? Also the last e cig i tried i would get some liquid in my mouth when i would take a pull from it. Does that happen with these?

Welcome, Meltz! Trust me on this, DO NOT buy the GreenSmokes. I tried them and just sent them back for a refund the other day. They were way overpriced and awful! You'll want to look at the KR808, the Joye 510, or the Joye eGo. The eGo looks more like a cigar than a cigarette, but it's going to give you tons a vapor and a battery can last 6-8 hours, maybe more depending on how much you vape. Some people like the cartomizers, some people prefer the cartridges. You can refill both, which is cheaper. You're looking at spending $25 - $70 for a starter kit, depending on where you get it and what you get.

Gosh, this long and thorough response I just typed did not get entered for some reason, so here is the brief version:

I love my Smoke Tip:
2 piece design, full unconditional lifetime warranty, no shipping on any orders (no minimum required), very fast shipping (2-3 days max), unbeatable customer service (they will send you a new part before waiting to receive your old/malfunctioning part should anything go wrong), the cartomizers mean there is a fresh atomizer every time you put a new cart on (although I plan to refill the cartomizers with my own liquid to save money and recycle), good and consistent vapor and throat hit, reasonable price ($59.95- includes 2 batteries, 5 cartomizers, wall charger, and USB). The batteries charge quickly and the regular tobacco flavor is very pleasing to me.

Good luck and keep us updated!

Go to MadVapes. They have an eGo kit for $48.00. It'll come with 10 prefilled cartridges. I didn't like the tobacco flavor that was in them, but you can wash them out and refill them with your own juice. Buy two or three spare atomizers, maybe a 5 pack of extra empty cartridges, some juice, and you should be set.

Cartridges aren't hard to refill and the only time I've had juice get in my mouth is when I didn't put the fill back in the cartridge right.

I agree with getting the eGo based SOLELY on the long battery life (about 8 hours per charge).

But if you really want the smaller size then you would be happy with the KR808D-1 and a PCC (if you smoke roughly a pack a day or more) for it since the batteries last about 4 hours per charge OR get the XL batteries since they are supposed to last even longer. The KR808D-1 is a two piece system (that's what you are wanting I believe) and is really easy to use. The cartomizers are easy to refill.

I'd probably go with this kit and get some juice for re-filling:
Vapor4Life- Electronic Cigarette: Vapor King Ultimate XL Starter Kit

Here's how to refill them:

cartridges aren't really hard to refill but IMO, a heavy vaper will have to refill them so often (not to mention all the constant topping off) that if ease of use is going to be an issue I'd just as soon go with cartomizers instead. (or dripping) jUst one person's opinion.

 

[WomanOfHeart]

I find the cartridges are easier and quicker to refill. I'm using Highping's filler mod, so I don't usually have to top off or refill as often. I've been thinking about trying cartomizers just to compare. I definitely need to check out Mega attys and carts!

So can anyone point me in the right direction? Should i go with Green Smoke?

In a word. . .NO!

Go with almost anyone but them.

One more thing (and I don't want to be throwing too much info at you all at once; it's confusing enough as it is....but) you may want to consider another thing if you go the Joye eGo route. They do make what is called a Mega atomizer and Mega cartridge (either cone-shaped, or cylinder-shaped), that will hold a LOT more juice than the standard 510 eGo setup. This just means that you will be refilling the cartridges with juice much less often. Sorry if I am "piling on", but I just wanted to mention that. When I purchased my first eGo, I immediately went for a kit that included the Mega setup as I knew I would become frustrated with refilling cartridges every 20 minutes or so.

 

[WomanOfHeart]

For the regular cartridges you can try this: My Simple Cart Mod. It really is that simple. I can get about 18-20 drops in a cart and vape for an hour or more, depending on whether I chain vape or not.
