I am new. I appologize if there is already a thread like this. I am not sure if this thread will "make it" or not. I thought it would be helpful to have one thread that listed multiple PVs all together with Pros and Cons of each so that new folks can have a one stop shop to begin learning about different e-cigs. I only own 3 models, so I've started the thread with these. I was hopeful others might describe their own kit in this thread as well - as it grows, it might help people choose.
Feel free to take this down if it is not appropriate, or add to it if you think this is a good idea. Anyway.....
Joye eGo
Description: 3 piece system (battery, atomizer, cartridge) plus a cone. 510 threading. Compatible with other 510 threaded accessories. PCC, passthrough, and low resistance atomizers are all available as accessories. Manual batteries available. Multiple color options. Rebranded under numerous names (by TotallyWicked, Volcano, Etc). "Generic" (less expensive) models available (Riva). Manual batteries support dripping.
Pros: Long battery life. Versatile 510 threading makes it compatible with lots of accessories. Currently very popular, so there are a lot of accessories. Has enough mah to use with Low Resistance atomizers. There are also a lot of propriatary accessories that will only work with the eGo - cylender atomizers, maga cartridges, PCC, etc.
Cons: Larger than a cigarette, and doesn't really look like a cigarette. Cartridges take some experience to get working correctly and they may leak until you get used to them. Some propriatary accessories will only work with the eGo if you later decide on something else with 510 threading.

Description: 3 piece system (battery, atomizer, cartridge). 510 threading. Compatible with other 510 threaded accessories. PCC and passthrough are available as accessories. Not recommended for use with Low Resistance atomizers. Manual and automatic batteries are available. Manual batteries support dripping. Rebranded under numerous names (by TotallyWicked, Volcano, Etc).
Pros: About the size and shape of a long cigarette. Versatile 510 threading makes it compatible with lots of accessories. Currently very popular, so there are a lot of accessories. Fantastic vapor production for a small e-cig.

Njoy Npro (RN4081)
Description: 2 piece system (battery, cartomizer). RN4081 threading. Compatible with other RN4801 threaded accessories. PCC available as an accessory. Not recommended for use with Low Resistance atomizers. Manual and automatic batteries are available. RN4081 is sold/rebranded under many different names.
Pros: About the size and shape of a long cigarette. Available at 7-11 in many states, making them easy to purchase. Also makes replacement cartomizers easy to purchase. Basic kit is very cheap ($20). Pretty good throat hit for a small cigarette using a cartomizer.
Cons: Poor battery life. You will need to have multiple batteries. You will need to charge often. Cartomizer replacements are expensive ($20 for 5), and will not last very long. Automatic battery is very sensitive - they will go off if there is noise or vibration, so you cannot use this in the car or in a noisy environment. Only 2 flavors to choose from (tobacco or menthol). Fairly poor vapor production.
