Noob requesting some help.

HI all, just a quick few questions.

So...I've been reading a lot about these cigarettes and all...

Puresmoke sounds good, but he said his atomizers should only last about 3 - 5 weeks. Any others out there last longer?

14 day warranty seems a bit short as well.

I'm looking for a good quality, mini cig that closely resembles a real regular cigarette (with the little orange led for the cherry), produces as much vapor as possible and will last the longest amount of time.

Price does not concern me. I would rather pay more up front for a good warranty, parts that last months if not years, the knowledge that in case something DOES break I can easily find replacements, doesnt leak, doesnt have warmup issues and can hold a charge, and a device in which the vapor doesnt taste like ****, or a regular cigarette smoke.

SO...with that in mind, please..offer suggestions. AGain, price DOES NOT MATTER.

Thanks.

I wouldn't know what make to go for since I always buy the cheapest , but I would definitely choose a mini over a super-mini.

The super mini looks the most realistic, but neither the batteries nor cartridges last long. The white mini is a decent compromise, still very cigarette-like.

Alas, it often doesn't come with round mouth parts. I get my cartridges from this guy:

Hey justanothernoob...

The reason I give a 3-4 week time frame is because its the average I see from beginners to experienced people.

Noobies will undoubtedly go through an atomizer or two within the first week or two. Its part of the learning curve. After 2 weeks, if you are still burning through atomizers, there has got to be a reason why (ie: you are doing something wrong...smoking it to dry, overworking it without giving it a chance for a cool down period, etc...)

Once you understand how an ecig works, you know how to maintain it, clean it, and always keep it wet/fluid filled, atomizer deaths start to come much less frequent.

I am still on the same mini atomizer I was 2+ months ago. Still kicking, with no issues.

Once you get past the "learning curve" and see how these bad boys work, you will understand much more.

Hope this helps!

I will add to this. I'm using two generic pen style atomizers from puresmoker, and I have been using them for almost 2 months. I have boiled then a couple times, but they are still working like new.

(I swear, if they both fail now cause I'm bragging......)

Try the Great White at Flash Intro Page. Cigarette looking, as much vapor as you'll find in a super-mini style, and long lasting batteries. No warranty or spare parts, but it's pretested and fairly inexpensive.

Well dude, i'd go for the mini (901). I don't quite get the "price doesn't matter" with the wanting of a year long atomizer. You pretty much get what you pay for. Buy a warranty get a warranty.
If you're interested I've successfully cleaned out 2 atomizers after 2.5 weeks (but have a spare in-case). I guess what I'm trying to say is if you buy enough spares then you'll have any "warranty" covered.
If you're Brit then i highly recommend E-cigs.co.uk or look up Pillbox38 here or on eBay.
One thing - if you're dedicated to giving up - this is a great tool. Good luck

OOps , I need to correct a couple things I just said; I got Jane's newsletter by coincidence today, and she does have spare parts for sale, you just have to e-mail her. ALso, she does have a 1 year warranty.

I have a great white...I really like it. It is alot better than the super mini...I got mine from Jane. I just ordered parts from her the other day. She does have them in stock. It is well made. Has a hefty atomizer wick and has a "close to real cig" feeling when you hold it. Jane is great and will give you incredible customer service!

Hi Justanothernoob,

If you like warranty (as I do), why not have a look at the Sedansa products ? They're the only e-cig company I know that offers a full 5-year warranty on all their products and I have good experiences with returns as well.

Of all the atomizers I have purchased from Sedansa (about 7 of them, albeit from a Dutch Reseller rather than their own Belgian site), only one died on me and was duly replaced. The first ones I purchased well over 6 months ago and they're still working !

As with all batteries, eventually performance does run down, but I have been able to replace these without problems as well.

Another brand that, IMO, would be worth looking into would be Janty Europe (or Janty USA, depending on where you are), I believe they give a 6 month warranty on their products and I have good experiences with them as well. Janty is a very innovative company and is always looking for ways to improve our e-smoking experience.

Anyway, just my 2 cents/penneth's worth, hope it helps. Good luck getting started with your e-smoking experience, I know I've never looked back !

Cheers,
Silver
