I have decided to kick the habit and start vaping, however the choices are overwhelming.I ve read some reviews but not on ECF,on another site that i found when searching reviews and the site recommends "green smoke" as 1 choice.It sounds like a good choice 4 me as it has what im looking for ,however as i've read on hear(ECF) its not really a favorite,no vapor and its expensive.So if i could get some recommendations I would greatly appreciate it.Here is my list of what i am looking for:

1.Lots of vapor
2.Good throat hit
3.I like simplicity so no juices,want to do cartomizers only.
4.Not looking for flavors would prefer just basic menthols.
5.Simplicity again so a 2 part system..with no buttons to push(if possible).


Would like a good price too but that's pushing it LOL.
Anyway im just pretty busy so just want it simple,with lots of vapor.Maybe once i get a whole system with it ill experiment but 4 now this is what im looking for ..Thanks,Jem

Go for one with the biggest batteries that you can, recharging batteries every couple of hours is a pain, and on top off that ,small batteries only perform well for a very short period and then the vapour/throat hit drop off. Also these batteries can only be recharged about 200 times before they die, so if you've got small batteries that you recharge 2-3 times a day, they'll die alot quicker than a large battery that only needs charging once every 1-2 days.
I would recomend a Riva/Ego type device, they have large batteries ,but can also take smaller batteries aswell if you feel uncomfortable with a large battery in public. You can get them with auto or manual batteries and they take catomizers too.
Oh and don't throw your cato's away when they run dry, one day you will buy some juice and when you do you will be able to refill and use them another 3-5 times before they die.
If you you get one with the choice of big or small batteries, get one or more of each for comparison, you'll be blown away by the difference.

Vapor4life has some great kits to use with kr808 carto's (The best tasting carts for me so far). I have their auto battery model and it has great flavor and a decent amount of vapor. I like it better than my 510 as far as flavor goes. But, again, taste is very subjective to the person. hope this helps a little...

No to Green Smoke - they are a rip-off pricewise and KR808D-2, incompatible its near twin KR808D-1 which is the popular normal-price 2-piece. Vapor4Life is KR808D-1.

I don't recommend automatic batteries but you could try them. Most people here use manuals because it is actually less work, more consistent drags, better sealed against juice leaks (autos have a drag sensor in the end of the battery). Re less work - an ecig isn't just making vapor and waiting for you to suck it out. With an auto your drag is controlling the switch that starts making vapor - that means you may have to take an extra fake drag to warm it up or drag longer to get to the vapor. With manual you can just press the button in 1/2-1 second before you start dragging and let up slightly before your drag ends. To me it is more like smoking.

BTW - a cartomizer (the cart-end of a 2-piece) does not last as long as a pack of cigarettes like the liar rebrander sites claim. That is just bs they use to get people to buy. But cartomizers last longer than carts. You will be adding juice to either and with cartomizers you want to do that while it is still damp and working so you don't singe the stuffing inside.
