Rocketman is messing with you dood !

Not really.

My 2 pigcigs (one black and one chrome0 are doing fine. I normally vape a flashlight mod with an 18650 but thought I would help Mike at LeCig and order one of each for my wife. We have several eGos, some superlong 808D-1, and more flashlight mods than you can shake a stick at. The pigcigs will hold there own with any we have. Don't last as long as the 18650 mods, duh, but work just fine. We use 808D-1 cartos, short and long, and the CE2 XL cartos (in the 2.8 to 3.2 ohm ranges). The short cartos don't stick up out of the cone muchand you can lip lock them and stop the air flow (not good). THe longer cartos might work better.
For those that might be wondering a DSE-901 atty will also work.

The comment about listening to your pigcig is real. It is not a straight through DC voltage device. The output is a chopped DC voltage. Hooked up to a 4 to 8 ohm (or above) speaker if will hum (loudly) :).
Of course you could hook it up to an oscilloscope and watch it also.

If you aren't comfortable hooking up wires to electrical devices, don't bother.

For those who are using the PigCig. How long are getting between charges? Mine arrived Monday, and I really like it, but it's only lasting me about 40 to 50 minutes between charges. It's on the charger longer than in my hand. My eGo's (with 510-808 adapters) last me between 5-6 hours. Does my PigCig have the swine flu? :(

Oh, I know ... I was just trying to make sense feel better because you were going way beyond his level :)
The dood was hitting the the button with no atty thinking it was draining the battery ... DOH!
Somehow I get the feeling he doesn't have a Tek TDS310 o'scope lying around :)
Or any Oscilloscope for that matter.
As far as headphones and "singing" it may be cool, but thats about it.

So You may not have been messing with him but you certainly were being unrealistic.

i just got mine today, it's pretty sweet. i need some mega cartos though because my regular size ones look a little odd in it. i'm struck by how small it is, it's like the size of a philly blunt or something. i'm not complaining, i just got the impression that it was a tad bigger. the recessed button is a very nice touch.

If you're an 808 cartomizer user then this is definitely a good eGo style mod to get, granted you only get one battery, but the performance really is like an 808 battery it doesn't drop low like an eGo, i don't need a meter to know it, i can tell by the way it vapes. Same thing with the Hello016, it also performs the same as the PigCig but with twice the battery life.

Call Mike or Justin at LeCig

I've had mine 3 weeks now. I went from a mini-auto kr808d-1 to this and WOW!!!

I get about 8-9hrs use and 1 to 1 1/2 charging time.

I charge it once late in the afternoon and put it on the charger when I go to bed.


I really have nothing to compare the pigcig too. I am to new to vaping. But I do know, if I had just stayed with the mini I would have gone back to smoking!!!

The difference between my mini and the pigcig is like comparing a glass of water to the ocean.


What's a DSE-901 atty? Thanks.

thanks for your post isbnbook, just ordered mine. I had been planning on getting an Ego but was sold on the pig cig because I could use my cartomizers. I too have only ever used the KR808D-1, I can't wait to get it!! I must say they are fast on shipping, I just ordered and within an hour got a shipping notice!

That just means they clicked 'shipped' on their system to complete your order, doesn't mean it's even packed or anything yet.

You made a better move buying one of these rather than an eGo, although the battery life isn't even as good as 2 x XL's but it's cheap so it's worth it.

Well, I puff on the pigcig on continuous a bases throughout the day.

I was a 2-3 pack a day smoker and I am vaping 36mg liquid right now.
I start vaping at 7:30 to 8am after charging it at night.
And the pigcig dies out between 4pm to 6pm depending on how heavy I am vaping that day.
I go to bed around 12-2am and it's usually still got a charge when I put it on the charger.

I ordered more cartos on Tues. I expect them today but Friday would be fine too.

Car died on Wednesday and had to use the pigcig to jump it. Worked like a charm. :laugh:
