NEWBY that's tried 3 brands

[sheriffntx]

Hi all! Love the information found so far in the forum. Been "vaping" for about a month and have only smoked a pack a half of the real deal. Anyway I've bought 3 different brands of e-cigs. Have paid for none of them BTW. Mom said she'd hook me up. My girlfriend said she'd do the same, as well as my dad. None of them smoke and I've tried patches, pills, gum but nothing worked as well as the e-smokes. I started with Greensmoke.com. Good product with good customer support and fast shipping but it's pretty pricey. So then I bought from Volcano. Got their "Magma" starter kit. Plenty of vapor and good flavor but their cartridges are a bit of a mess if you get the liquid on you. Last, and so far my favorite has been Smoketip.com. Great price, excellent vapor and the best customer service yet. I had a battery fall to pieces on me a couple days ago and sent the company an email explaining what happened and they sent out a replacement right away without even waiting for the malfunctioning battery to be returned. That's what I'm taking about! So I'm always looking for good, better and different brands out there so I'll be the guinea pig

​

for anyone wanting a tester. Thanks for reading!

First off, welcome to the forums and sounds as if you have a good support system in place.

I'd suggest getting a Janty or Joye eGo and use that support for attys or cartos and e-juice! I think you would get much better bang for the buck that way.

welcome to the club.
i have a joye 510 and love it. its got great vapor and great delivery.
i juice my own carts and have tried a number of different flavors liking them all. the best ejuice i've gotten so far is from Mrs. T's. i do have to say it taste much better the day after delivery instead of opening pkg and vaping right away.
if your on the puter much, (like i am) then the usb passthru is a def "gotta have". saves my batteries for when i'm away from home.

good luck

I often wonder why everyone has these same PV's, the same brands I hear over and over from "new" people, I had NEVER heard of ANY of them before I came here.

I assume people see them on the PAID "review sites" or on PAID "youtube reviews"

Welcome to the forum! Sounds like you're about ready to start your collection of big-battery mods.

I agree. The eGo with a cartomizer would be a good way to go. They're cheap and easy to refill.

Ego with a cartomizer rocks, big time.

 

[Datacrypt]

The eGo has been great for me, I highly recommend it. I put together a little kit that I take everywhere. It contains: 2x Cartomizers, 6x Carts, 5x Attys, 2x eGo spare eGo batts, 2x 6ml bottles of juice. The case is smaller than my Native sunglasses case. This kit will carry me for 2-3 days if necessary, just throw in the charger to go longer.

I can't post pictures yet... I'll try to remember to add the picture when I hit 15 posts.

Hey Todd, welcome to ECF. Once you get an eGO with a 510 atomizer (atty) your search may be over I'm afraid. Seeing your mom is footing the bill you may want to try a KR808 or a DSE901 as others have said they give more flavor.

Good luck!

 

[qwertylesh]

apart from the eGo, what PV would be recommended for a fairly heavy vaper to get a good days worth of battery life from? Whats a good quality overall big battery PV?

 

[quasimod]

The Silver Bullet (altsmoke.com) is a tank. Mine is about 8 months old, and looks like I've been dragging it behind my truck most of that time. It still works like the day I got it. It uses an 18650 3.7 Volt battery that will last the heaviest of vapers all day, and some light vapers get 4 days out of them. It can also accept 2 smaller 3 Volt batteries so you can vape at 6 Volts (not recommended, safety concerns, blah blah, whatever).

The GGTS (vaporkings.com) is pricey, but it can use just about any battery size you want to throw at it. It also has a connector that accepts several different types of atomizer without an adapter.

I own both of these, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend either one to anybody.

There are so many it is awfully hard to say. I have a BB from Altsmoke, and it is very good. Take a look at this thread for photos of mods in a single collection.

thanks for the advice guys, I will check them all out and find an all day ecig better suited for me from it!

@op; sorry to thread hijack.

 

[quasimod]

[...] @op; sorry to thread hijack.

Haha, no sweat. I think it was more or less on topic, anyway. Besides, I'm probably one of the worst thread-jackers at ECF. By page 2 or 3, all bets are off around here.

 

[qwertylesh]

Lol, its happened to my threads already, ecig turned into beer discussion!
I dont mind at al though, but not sure others may mind, hence the sorry

 

[quasimod]

Well, let's be fair about it: beer is always on topic.

I would say that, and good SEO, is exactly why. It's all branding and marketing.

I ended up with a Green Smoke (a way overpriced, poor performing KR8 or possibly M variant) and it was a youtube video that sold me on it. I don't think it was paid, but the guy who made it was an affiliate. Thankfully, I found ECF a day or so after I it arrived in the mail and got myself straightened out. I returned the Green Smoke, got an eGo and have a Chuck on the way.

sheriffntx, I'm glad you're happy with the brands you've tried, but after trying an eGo, I can say without a doubt that the Green Smoke is an inferior vaporizer. It got me off analogs, and for that I'm grateful, but I highly doubt I would have stuck with vaping had I not gotten an eGo.

 

[quasimod]

Yeah, my first 3 kits were the ones that NJoy sells in the Pilot truck stops. I spend a lot of time on the Internet, and it still took me almost 3 weeks to Google up some real info. I wasn't happy with the gear and the juice was awful (not to mention overpriced, pre-filled carts the only option). I could see the potential, though. I'm glad I bought them, because those kits are what got me going.

 

[bamdet]

I also have to go with the eGo. Been smoking 33 years and I haven't smoked an analog since I got it.
