Hi all,
Just joined up.
I know you get a lot of these posts but can't find one that I'm satisfied with yet.
I'm a full time smoker, about 30 a, day, looking for an ecigarette in an attempt to quit smoking all together. I am looking to buy an e cig (1)which does not require refilling of tanks/cartridges with separate atomisers/atomizers or whatever they are called. I understand there are ones which have the heating element and nicotine reservoir in one unit (in other words the heating element is replaced with the nicotine).
In terms of appearance, (2)I would prefer a black e cig without a light on the end, looking like an analogue cig is not important and to an extent undesirable.
From the infomation provided from this page (3)I think the eGo is my preferred however, when searching for a distributor of the eGo, I find the eGo-C and eGo-T, both of which seem to require refilling tanks/cartridges. Is there another model that I have not yet found with combined heating elements and cartridges? Also which vendor is best to distribute to Perth Western Australia. Price is not a huge concern, getting the product that will best help me quit is.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Generally speaking, e-Cigs those which resemble an "actual cigarette" is the preferred choice with most smokers trying to quit. Basically due to its familiarity and ease of use. The fact remains that most, present day, veteran vapers had begun that way too. And if u chose the right "Cig-a-Like" e-Cig u could definitely QUIT. I did, in one go.
(1) Everything e-Cig would require "refilling" something. And that shouldn't deter us from tossing our cancer-stix off immediately. The e-Cig technology, currently, is divided between
3-piece devices and
2-piece devices:
Essentially, all e-Cigs must have those three parts viz. the Battery
(powering unit), an Atomizer
(vaporizing unit) and the Cartridge
(juice/nicotine holding unit). Some kept it that way, while few bolted the last two (Atomizer & Cartridge) together into
one unit and called that a "Cartomizer". I'm sure u r aware of all that by now.
Thus, what u were trying to refer in ur post was to get an e-Cig with a "cartomizer" scenario (two-piece system), rather than the ones which has separate 'atomizer' and 'cartridges'.
Now each has it's advantages and surely, disadvantages as well. It basically boils down to what's one's personal preference/circumstances. However, the factual position is that the 2-piece devises will
work-out expensive in the long run AND they
do not give a satisfactory vaping experience. U, generally, get less vapour and TH from these systems. While a "tank" system (three-piece device) has a more free-flowing juice delivery in place, which in turn, gives out better vapour & TH and thus a more satisfying vaping experience. I prefer the 3-piece devices.
(2) Yes, black (or any other color than the standard white) do look cool. And both types of devices come in that color as well. Some mimic the 'red tip', while some offer another color (viz. Green, Blue etc.) and some do not have a LED tip at all. But, all Cig-a-Likes will have that 'flash-tip', while the APVs wont. Incidentally, the better Cig-a-Likes, which have good build quality and gives out nice vaping satisfaction, do not [usually] come in a 'red-tip' and chose other colors to give it a different look/experience. Nonetheless, buying one with a 'flash-tip' shouldn't be a deal-breaker for the new vaper. B'coz, going advanced (with Mods) initially might pose further challenges, IMHO. And that might make our 'quitting' outrightly a tad difficult.
(3) EGos r definitely the least cumbersome of e-Cigs out there. And thus a good starting choice for the new vaper. However, they r essentially 3-piece devices. There's a reason to that, as I stated earlier - aka Better vaping experience. And they r 2nd generation e-Cigs - aka "pen style", rather than being Cig-a-Like.
Joyetech is a leader in these systems. And offer various products that could surely keep us off the stinkies.
To make matters simpler,
Joyetech also came out with a "tank-system" Cig-a-Like, the
eRoll, around end-of-2012. Which has "changed" the Cig-a-Like scenario. It has the same form-factor, but vapes exceptionally well... just like a Mod. And that's something which was long awaited in that segment. To further the looks department -- it's "tip" isn't Red, but BLUE. And it isn't a cigarette-like tip, but a Golden one with a Blue Ring... which looks definitely great
! Moreover, to ur liking, this e-Cig also comes in
Black color (which I have) and comes in Brushed Steel (I've ordered one) and off course White.

Whatever u choose, being smoke free must be ur priority one. And do so soon enough... ur health clock is ticking
!
And Welcome to ECF.
