I know that sherid, I do. I have been here for going on 5 years, this is my 2nd account and I lurked for a while as well. I know you. And I trus you for the most part. You were always on the front lines and I respect your opinions. But the $300 kit just seems like a blatant hose job to me. I'm sure these batteries MUST be made to be superior to other 808 kits if you believe they are, because I know you've tried many brands.. But the $300 kit stabs my side.

you say that you like the small e cigs. So do i. After a collection of e cigs over the last 4 years that could earn me a spot on hoarders, i have found my favorites. My first and most used is the cirrus 2 from Best Quality Electronic Cigarette | E Cig Sale | Buy E Cigarette which sells for 59.99. With this coupon code wckit30, the price drops to 41. It is wonderful because it vapes like a big guy, the batteries last a long time, the cartomizers are amazing and long lasting, and it looks like a regular cigarette. I like that. If you are looking for a small guy, this is the best i have found. Ps i have egos, and multitudes of other big battery e cigs. I still choose this as my regular vape.

you shop at this dump?

I don't know if you looked at the choices but clearly you did not see that the kit I have was 41 with the coupon, not 300. Look over the page to see. I have never spent more than $75 on any kit and have no intention of ever doing that. Best Value E Cig Kit for sale | Warranty, Cartridges, Charger are included | E Cigs by White Cloud
In the 3 months since I started using them, I have never had to replace batteries. Can't say that about any of the popular models everyone jumps in to recommend.

I can't BELIEVE how expensive the kits are on that website "whitecloudelectroniccigarettes.com" holy SMOKES?? There is no doubt in my mind that the e-cigarettes they are selling for those ridiculous prices are the exact same e-cigarettes everyone else is selling for MUCH lower prices. The only difference is they have branded them with their logo. HOLE-EY-SHNIKEYS. $299.99 for 3 batteries, a charger, and a pack of cartomizers? YOUR GETTING HOSED. HOSED. HOSED. I can tell by the inside of the charger that they are just 808 or 901 batteries... Which can be purchased else-ware for $8-10 a piece?

What a total and complete rip off in my opinion. And whoever owns that site is laughing all the way to the bank because they know all they need to do is sell 2 kits to 2 uneducated noobs and they've got $400-600 in their pockets when the kit cost them $10-20 bucks. Awesome. WhiteCloud is the worst rip-off site I've seen yet. Thats my opinion.

ECF should ban their website even being spoken of here as a suggestion to new vapers. Unbelievable. It is obvious to me that they are just playing with the new vaper's mind. "The new Cirrus 2 kit is smaller than the original Cirrus kit but allows you to vape twice as long" 1st of all, I don't believe that. 2nd of all, the Cirrus 1 kit probably has 3.7v regulated batteries and the Cirrus 2 kit probably has unregulated batteries that will last longer but lose voltage. WOW WHAT A VALUE.

The $300 kit is three 75mm 808 batteries regulated at 3.7v i'm sure... And then a charger. Then they throw in complete gimmicks, like the flashy lock box, the "NEW BLACKOUT ASH STEALTH PLUGS!" lmao.. Stealth plugs? Come on... And Get this: "StealthDraw Cartridges. By adjusting the liquid formulation, a low vapor, high nicotine solution with quick dissipation was created. The Phantom leaves no trace behind." LMFAO. You packed cartos with 100% PG juice and call it a revolution in vaping?

I'm about ready to blacklist and boycott this business. VERY shady.
LOL Go ahead and blacklist if you wish. I've been ripped off a number of times, and I am still trying to figure out what I missed with the four EGO kits I bought based on its continuous recommendation here. I've seen lots of devices that look like (OTHER ITEMS) going for hundreds. That is a rip off in my opinion. Cannot even imagine using them.

How much did you pay for the Lava tube and the Bolt. Recommending big battery e cigs to a first time user is not always the best advice. Most people who are just starting to vape are turned off by their appearance and will be less likely to be successful. They may graduate to those devices within a few months, but getting started is the key. If big battery e cigs were all that were available, I would be chain smoking Marlboros. Not everyone has the same taste.

There seem to be some things I disagree with on that site, including the price and some of the descriptions. I'd like to believe what I've read but I cannot fully put my trust in the descriptions because I haven't tried the product. I do trust sherid to an extent. I have seen a few mentions of this site before, negative, positive and neutral. But I wouldn't buy from them simply because I don't like the way they puff and prim their product descriptions, namely the phantom kit's description, which seems a bit over done and manipulative to me. But I cannot comment on the quality because I haven't tried this e-cig. I do know that it looks like a KR808D to me, which, is the name of the e-cigs I've recommended above... Are they different on the inside? perhaps. There are different manufacturers of KR808D batteries and this was made apparent to me many times here. I do support KR808D kits for someone that absolutely refuses to try the eGo or eGo spinner/twist. But I FULLY support eGo and eGo spinner/twist batteries and kits, because I own them and I love them. I also own KR808d batteries, 510 batteries, and mods. I can say that I like 510 batteries and mods as well. But for my recommendation I stick to what I've already given.

We are WAY off topic and I hope we can get back on topic. To be mature is to be able to let go. We all need to take a breather and let go right now, whether or not someone disagrees with us. This particular thread is here because a new member came to us asking for a good starter kit. Hopefully we haven't scared them away with our pushy opinionated comments. I apologize.

OP, please chime in at any time I'd really like to hear what your thinking. No need for anyone to get into a tussle and no need to post more links to the same sites.

Multiple links to the same site were necessary to disprove the lie that the price of the unit I suggested was 300 when the actual cost of that unit was 41. I see the same EGO EGO EGO recommendation when the OP clearly said he wanted something small and simple. An EGO is neither.

sherid, in his original post he stated that one of his requirements for the e-cig being "small" was that it fit in his pocket. This small tidbit leads one to assume that big battery mods are not what he is looking for, since a new vaper might see the big battery mods as not being pocket friendly. This leaves two options, eGo size and cig-alike size, and, since his requirements do not explicitly leave out medium, pocket friendly e-cigarettes, the eGo models would fit the bill in my opinion. This is why I felt secure in recommending eGo batteries to this particular new vaper. I never meant to make it seem like I would be audacious enough to lie about the price of your e-cigarette kit. I never meant to say that I was speaking of the kit you had mentioned. I am/was speaking of the $300 kit that is offered on the website you linked to. I in no way meant to say that the kit you recommended was $300. In closing, I will address your comment, " I see the same EGO EGO EGO recommendation when the OP clearly said he wanted something small and simple. An EGO is neither." I would like to agree to disagree here. I find my 400mah eGo pretty small, with it being the same length of a cig-alike but fatter. I would lump it into the small e-cig category myself. 2ndly, I do not agree that the same eGo eGo eGo recommendation is being brought up.

Post #2 to this thread: eGo starter kit with boge cartomizers.
Post #3 to this thread: eGo TWIST (variable voltage) starter kit w/clearomizers.
Post #5 to this thread: eGo C starter kit. (proprietary atomizer and tank system)
Post #6 to this thread: eGO-T (different proprietary tank system)
Post #7 to this thread: eGo with dual coil cartomizer tank system kit.

As you can see, each and every eGo recommendation with link thus far has been a different type of eGo and/or eGo kit with different type of atomization head configuration.

I never meant to lie. I never meant to recommend something out of OP's requirements. I apologize for putting down the site you linked to, but my humble opinion is that the prices $ descriptions are manipulative. I am sorry if it seems I have attacked you or shown a rude attitude in any way.

No problem. There is, however, a great deal of manipulation going on in this forum. I absolutely hate when someone says they like a product and it is working well for them and then people jump in ridiculing the poster for being stupid for not buying an EGO while trashing the product the poster was clearly satisfied with. Why is that? Just as people do not always like the same foods or the same clothing styles, there are also people who have different needs and tastes in the e cigs they like. If that were not true, we would only have one brand of cigarette to choose from, and clearly there are hundreds of choices. The same is true with vaping. We can say we like a brand and suggest it but there is no need to ridicule someone for what they like and is working for them.
