Nubcakes needs help!

[Jellyy]

Hi All!

I am new here and very happy I found this forum. I am hoping you can help me in choosing the right product. I am trying to quit smoking and have been smoke free for a week and am dying for a cig atm. So I started looking online for an e- cig.

I have tried years ago green smoke and that at the time did not do the trick.

From the looks of it there has been a lot of progress in this area. I am so confused about all the different products available out there. When I used to buy green smoke, they only had kits and cartridges. Now there are atomizers, flavor drops. etc...very confusing.

What I am looking for is a simple, but good system that I can stick to. Nothing crazy, but good quality and reliable. Price is not an issue. Also would really like it to taste and feel like a real cig.

If anyone could possibly make a recommendation of a brand, I would much appreciate it.

Thanks,

J-

Im new also but after a day or two of reading it starts to make sense. although I dont know of a good cigarette sized device. I think the smaller devices don't have a great rep. I just got a ego system they are small and a good device.

Nothing is going to be just like a cigarette. That being said the higher the voltage the warmer the vape, similar to the warmth from a cigarette. just a place to start.

 

[Jixchel]

Do you want a device that looks like/is similar is size of a cigarette?
Do you want to be able to use it all day long on a single battery or does switching out batteries not bother you?

For a cigarette size, the Volt is most often reccomended Smokeless Image | Only The Best Electronic Cigarette | Volt - Premium Starter Kit - Starter Kits
For something slightly larger there is the kgo KGO kit1100mAh by SLB

I've been thinking about getting an actual cig sized pv for when I'm out and about. The only one I've heard mentioned in a positive light so far is Volt, which is made by smokeless image. Battery life is an issue with these small personal vapers as I understand, which is why I started off with a KGO.

Edit: Jixchel beat me to it twice!

Maker, thanks for the reply. What brand and model do you recommend?

Most new vapers want to something that looks like a cigarette. I did. The problem is that the batteries in those devices won't last you. I ended up with a couple of ego batteries. They are a little bigger than a cigarette (about the size of a small cigar). They come in 650, 900, & 1000 mAh sizes. A 900 may last you the day. I would also use cartomisers to start with. They are inexpensive and easily refillable. Is there a brick & mortar vape shop near you?

I would like it not to look to cheesy, but at this point I am desperate...so whatever resembles the real thing best.

As far as battery life. Battery life is always great, but I don't mind investing into several batteries, so I always have some ready to go.

Thanks Jix

The Volt that Jixchel mentioned is the best of the cig look-alikes. It will be much more satisfying than the Green Smoke ecig. Volt also offers the same thing in a bigger battery (longer time between charges) in their X2. I have one of their 900 mah X2's for out ant about and it works very well.

Kgo from KGO kit1100mAh by SLB is also an excellent choice as it is based on the 510 thread system opening up a world of juice delivery systems without adapters.

E Power is another great choice as it is similar to Kgo but uses a replaceable battery and is the best long term investment - Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - EGO E-Power

Finding a juice that tastes like your old cigarettes is probably not going to happen, and in the long term you'll be glad about that. Ecig juices actually taste good compared to tobacco smoke. I advise you to look beyond duplicating the cigarette taste and find a juice flavor your enjoy. Start with some sample kits of very small bottle. Get a dripping atomizer for what ever ecig you choose so that you can easily taste test different juices.

Wishing you the best.

Not bad for a noobs first posts hey. lols

One more post and I'm free to the "grown ups" forums.

Do yourself and your wallet a favor by starting with nothing less than a 3.7V eGo batt (I recommend the eGo VV Twist) and your choice of atty/carto/clearo/tank!

Yeh I agree, the Ego twist is a great starting point, but I was under the impression they wanted a analogue look alike.

I went from an Ego starters kit over to an Ego twist with Stardust clearomiser within a week. The original kit system was messy setup. I only ever use the bat charger that came with it.

 

[MMA1985]

Yes I too desired a cig look alike. I got the volt and it was a big mistake. You should get yourself a kgo. I heard the ego twist is nice but the 650 mah i heard is as big as the kgo 1100 mah so just forget it for now. The kgo is great with LR cartomizers and atomizers. I use 1.5 ohm atomizers on it for dripping and get nice warm clouds of vapor.

 

[Mroutlaw]

The volt is a great place to start. The small batteries last about 3-4 hours and they have larger batteries that last as long as 14 hours. They are continually expanding their product line and their cartos last a long time. To top it off, their customer servie is second to none.

Here is a video demonstrating their product

I would recommend the kgo kit from from hoosier ecigs for your first setup. It has 2 batteries charger etc to get u started and is very reasonably priced. It is 1100mah will last all day and holds 3.7 volts and is 510 threading which allows you to use so much more equip than the 808 threading. It is a little bigger than the mini cigs but will serve u well. Also get a vivi nova and use the 1.8 ohm heads with it. Simple and easy to use and comes highly recommended from most here. I wish I had gotten this at first and would have saved a ton of money on those little batts. This will be a good backup for when u go onto bigger and better things in the future. I love mine and Hoosier ships fast.

 

[Jyuz]

i was also thinking of getting a volt. but have been convinced into get an ego-c set instead due to the volt's short battery life. maybe i'll get the ego twist battery as well.

 

[Kia82]

If you want an e-cig/tank to try there is one on vaporkings.com because after hundreds of dollars I have realized I want a tank I don't like cartridges that go with most e-cigs this way you get to best of both worlds if that is what you looking for. Hope this helps )

 

[VapingRulz]

If you really want a cig-sized model, the Volt is not the only good one out there. Vapor4Life's XL manual ecigs are terrific. I quit smoking using them and still use them occasionally when I want to remain unobtrusive.

 

[comeonhitme]

go with the volt. I second MR outlaw

You are absolutely correct, however smokeless image has much better prices. A v4l battery is $25 compared to a 78mm volt which is $14. Their cartos are $2 more
