Noob needs help choosing one

[polaroid]

Hey,

First, I'd like to say how awesome this website is.

Second, I would like to know which e-cig do you guys recommend.

I have been a smoker for 5 years now, and I want an alternative to reduce the amount of regular cigarettes I smoke in a regular basis and plus the benefit of smoking indoors.

Also, I would not like to pay more than $80 (if possible).

Any suggestion?

Thank you

What do you smoke?
What are you looking for?....size , color, battery time?

 

[polaroid]

I have switched between several brands, but I usually smoke Marlboro Lights. I smoke only 10 cigarettes a day.

I'm looking for something compact but that the size does not interfere in the performance.
Also, since it is my first purchase, I would like something relatively cheap and easy to use/buy cartridges without worrying about refilling them (hopefully I will learn to do that in a near future). I've seem a lot of people talking about the "901 model", how you can refill the cartridges and so forth. However, I don't think I'm prepared to that yet, I would like something simpler.

My major concern is the quality of the product, since I don't want to inhale something that might be bad for (except for analog cigarettes lol).

Thanks again

Sorry, I forgot to answer 2 of your questions.
So the color doesn't really matter to me, though I've seem some neat stainless e-cigs.
I have no idea about the battery life.

Thanks

I might suggest going with the Pilot (from puresmoker) or the DSE901
DSE901 last longer (cartridges) and battery and are not as large as the penstyles.

I prefer the penstyle myself but alot here use the DSE901.
Topping off and refilling will be no problem after the first few days.

Thanks!

Do recommend any that I can buy the cartridges ready to go instead of buying the liquid and refilling?

polaroid are you in the US .

All the ones above come with pre-filled cartridges, and you can also order more in the same flavor and strength....or in different flavors.
They usually come in boxes of 5.

Good to know! Thank you.

And yes, I'm in Houston, TX.

Originally from Houston also (spring to be exact).
Good luck with whatever one you decide with.

Try and get at least one bottle of juice, you won't regret it.

These things are great when they work but a % of them are prone to be substandard.

You want someone who can replace parts quickly if you get a duff one.

Try look for a supplier with a reasonable warentee, 28 - 30 days on faulty bits for the basic ones is fair.

If you want a long warentee you tend to pay more for the hardware.

Liquid does work out much cheaper than pre-filled carts & you can top up the ones that come with the kit.
You also get a lot more choice of flavours and suppliers without worrying about compatable carts being in stock.
You may want to take a look at the Janty liquid as their low is 6mg strength.

For something simpler you might consider the Vapor King... check that supplier section of the forum.

start off with a 901, satisfactory guranteed. Move on from there

 

[polaroid]

Thank you all!

One last question, in case I opt for cartridges, where is the best place to buy them for the 901?

 

[Exylis]

You can get cartridges reasonably priced from
dietsmokes.com and puresmoker.com

 

[jamie]

The best place these days is whoever has them in stock. Check the supplier sections of the forum.

NJOY has a ONE YEAR WARRANTY on all parts, IF YOU REGISTER. You can get the NJOY starter kit for 80 bucks. I would order the classic (penstyle)
