Hi all!
i've spent the last week on this site reading everything i can. MANY THANK YOUS to all of you who post honest reviews and share their experiences. in today's world of shady marketing, we consumers have to stick together to find quality merchandise, and identify the vendors who do provide quality service.
I NEED HELP. i've read enough here to make me dizzy like i stuck a whole pack of Lucky Strikes in my mouth and lit the end. after days of reading, i've learned a lot, but i'm still no closer to choosing my first PV.
HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME: you can skip it if you bore easily.
i've never smoked regular cigarettes. they taste and smell nasty to me. but once upon a time i started smoking cloves. Sampoerna Classics, Djarum Blacks, Djarum Special Lites, Bali Hais, etc. I drink Guinness and I want a clove in my hand when I do so. For a while I got up to smoking 1/2 pack a day, but I started hacking up red goo, so I decided to quit. That lasted about 2 yrs before I bummed a Black one day, and then I was smoking about a pack a week. Not bad. THEN OBAMA BANNED THEM. thanx, Prez. if you're going to ban flavored cigs, you should have banned menthol too, ya hypocrite. sorry, i digress.
So, the ban forced me to quit again. I tried the replacement "clove cigars"...THEY SUCK. the only thing similar is the packaging. booooo.
ok, so now that I know that e-cigs are a healthy alt to smoking, and i can get clove flavor, i want one. I'VE ALREADY FOUND A WELL-RECOMMENDED HOME BREW RECIPE HERE, so i'm looking forward to getting to mix up my own. i'm ready to commit to a PV.
WHICH ONE?
i've read that the 510, and the 4081, and the KR808d, are all favored models. but, a lot of the information here is quickly becoming obsolete because the technology is evolving so quickly. with this in mind, i want to try to find a quality SUPER MINI OR MICRO.
i REALLY want a PV that is as close to cig size as possible. i'd prefer 7mm diameter, but 8mm will do for now. i don't want anything fatter than 8mm.
DOES ANYONE USE A NEW STYLE SUPER MINI/MICRO that works really well? please reply with the model name, and if possible, a link to your review. anyone have a mini E-8? or similar?
ideally, i'd like to be able to set up 3 whole units and rotate them. if one dies, either juice or power, i'll just grab another unit. like you grab another cigarette. i'll maintenance them at the end of the day. or week if they last that long.
i want to be able to vape the equivalent of smoking 5 cigs a day. 5, 5 minute vape breaks. make sense?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ALL REPLIES. really. i appreciate any info you have to offer, and will reply to each comment for more info. i like this PV idea, i just need to find the equipment and routine to duplicate the experience i remember.

p.s. ugh, sorry for the epic novel.
