I typed that last response with my iphone... Seems the word "snus" was changed to "anus", Complete accident. No disrespect intended. I think ill try this ego thing... Seems better than the rest. So, I guess my only other question is.... How do you get it to most mimic a real cig? Thats my concern. This other crap I bought doesnt come close. I just dont wanna spend another $100 to keep smokin cigs.

Again... I have a gamucci and a smoke 51. They taste bad. Im using the gamucci filterless "comparison" and the 51 "14's". The hit is varies. I never know what im gonna get. On top of that the taste is awful... Great in the bathroom at work, when I cant do anything else...Knocks the edge off. But, I have been smoking Pall Mall full flavors since I got off... Maybe vaping isnt for me? I really wish I could make it work. The two products ive bought so far though..... Suck, for lack of a better word. Taste, consistency, vapor, throat and lung hit

You don't know if e-cigs are for you. You haven't had a real one yet!

Really, if you want easy-to-use, good taste, consistent, and throat hit, buy a Kr808D-1 (also sold as "Vapor King" and "Nebula" on some sites).

And if you want great vapor, buy some e-juice with a bit of VG in it (10-20%).

You can buy a Kr808D-1 kit for $35, and you can buy 30ml of juice for as little as $10.

Don't give up!

I recently found out about ecigs when the gas station I frequent started selling gamucci products. I purchased the mini starter kit. This isn't gonna work for me. It tastes awful!! A few weeks later I ran into a kiosk in the mall selling fifty one... It's just as bad. Light smoke and bad taste. Nothing like a cigarette. Anyone have any experience with these products as compared to the others I've been reading about? I'm considering ordering a joye 510 or a vapor king.... Any advice?


Well my advice would be an ego battery and the ego cartomizers which are about to be available in the US any minute now.

For the juice, I have had the best vapor performance to this day using the new 'WOW' liquid line from vapor4life.

The only thing is that these cartomizers are very new, and so I have not tried them yet. I think they will be really great.

so, buy the ego starter and some wow liquid and that is like smoking a real cig? Im so confused at this point.. Im sure you understand. I really wanna quit cigs(for me and my family). I am a very heavy smoker.. 2+ packs a day. Nicorettte doesnt work.. But this vaping may. If you can tell me what to do... I am willing to try. No matter the cost. I dont know all the shortcuts or terms yet. I am very new. really frustrated... Wanna try something.. Just dont wanna waste any more money.

The ego starter kit plus a lr atomizer or the cartomizers v1 John linked to a few posts up (cartomizers don't require a separate atomizer, they are built in).
As for flavors they are a personal thing, your best bet is to try a few until you find the 1 or 2 that you really like. Probably not what you want to hear but what 1 person likes you may hate.

Your right... I was looking for a definite "stop smokin kit"... It probobly isnt in this forum but within myself... I think this ego thing with the right juice will work though. Ive been between here and you tube all night. My brain is fried. When I started, I had two choices... The same two keep popping up... Joye 501 and theVK.... I think by what ive seen the EGO is a better choice for me. We shall see... I will update this thread... Any advice is appreciated. Please dont throw another unit my way though. Im torn as it is.... Good juice would be much appreciated though. I want the cig taste...... Any ideas?

For tons of posts about the Wow juice, it's good to be in the vapor4life forum here at ECF. Wowbacco to me is really nice and much like a Marbolo light. I also like menthol, but it's not available in Wow, at least not now. They also sell prefilled cartomizers (vk or k808 type), but I presently just fill my own. Many people do like to buy them prefilled tho. The VK/K808 cartomizers can also run on egos and the Hello016, which are 510 thread types. Order you some adaptors to and from 510 also.

For nicotine strength, if you are a serious smoker, it may take 24mg and 36mg at times. Some people get a high strength and a bottle of 0 or low strength, and then combine the two as needed.

It may be necessary to order from more than 1 or two suppliers, to ultimately build your own kit customized to what you need, and to find all the things you need in stock, but the Wow juice I really recommend because of it's highly realistic smoke appearance. On a scale of 1 to 10 for vapor quality and production, I rate it a 10.1


Flavors are a different subject, and lots of suppliers have great flavors. I just happened to have reached a point when I was not very satisfied with poor vapor production, but vapor4life's Wow line too care of that.

But anyway, good luck, and welcome to ECF, it's a really big super forum and hopefully it will help a lot.

so, buy the ego starter ... .. Just dont wanna waste any more money.

Maybe not even a 'pre-arranged' starter kit, but at least a battery with its few-dollar charger,

Or a Hello016 battery with its charger (this is also a 510thread type like the ego but lasts even longer with its 1.3Ah capacity),

And a k808 (or VK) manual battery with its few-dollar charger


[And adaptors and cartomizers, and juice]

I'm a waiter so I don't have a lot of time to mess around tinkering. Either I take anus to work or these crappy ecigs I bought. The ecigs hold the withdrawals off. I just want a cigarette as soon as I walk out because of the taste I assume. After researching it seems the 510 takes a LOT of tinkering.. Really, I just want the closest tasting, and feeling thing to a cigarette I can get with the least trouble... Haven't read much on this ego thing.. Guess I will. Oh yeah, I would like to be able to blow smoke rings too.... Thanks for all the advice! I've smoked cigarettes so long they really hurt my lungs... I've gotta figure out something..

No wonder you feel like smoking, anything to get rid of the taste hey?
