I was just about to order from v2 and I found this forum and am reading that it may not be the best idea. This will be my first e cig and I am looking to get what I think is an kr808. I want a normal cigarette size realistic looking e cig that is refillable preferably with a red led. Also I would like it to be automatic if available. I also looked at the vapornine but couldnt find much info how is there e cig. Does anyone have alternatives or suggestions of something better and cheaper that fits what I am looking for? I thought v2 was a good choice because of all the great reviews and lifetime warranty but if there is a better option I will gladly go for it. Thanks.
Congratulations on skipping the V2. 99% of those reviews are put up by people who are making commissions from their referrals. Notice those discount codes? They're affiliate codes. V2 is the Amway of the ecig world. One person recruiting another to recruit another, etc, etc, etc. The lifetime warranty is 100% marketing gimmick and a way to keep you hooked on buying their cartomizers and their juice. Read the terms and you'l see why. Actually, don't bother. Plus, no battery can, or should, last forever. Like 95% of us, you'll move on past it long before any lifetime warrany makes sense.
But, you're making all the typical newbie mistakes that nearly all of us made, and that 95% of us wish we hadn't. We ALL have a cigarette look-alike with a LED at the tip sitting around getting no use. Unless, of course, we've given it away or trashcanned it by now. Here's your chance to be in that lucky minority that didn't waste our time and money trying to look like we're smoking when we were trying to quit smoking. You won't be a smoker anymore. Why do you want to look like one?
Yes, there are FAR better options and FAR FAR FAR FAR better values out there than the V2, or any cig. look-alike for that matter. I always try to warn people and steer them here when I see those stupid V2 commercials disguised as reviews on Youtube, Vapor Academy being the prime offender and the biggest liar of the bunch.
Do yourself a favor. Do some reseach here. Shed your feeling that you need an automatic battery. Unless you spend all day rock climbing and smoking at the same time, you don't.
Look at the eGo, the Riva, the E-Power or something similar. They're barely larger than a small cigar and will give you the power and reliability that NO cigarette look-alike can match. This alone can mean the difference between sticking with vaping or going back to analogs. If you want a light, some of them have a light that is a battery level indicator. At least get a light that performs a function. All of the eGo, kGo, Riva, Firefly, E-Power type ecigs can be had in a complete starter kit for less than 1/2 of what a V2 starter kit will set you back.
Hear me now. Believe me later. Shed your desire for something that looks like an analog and save tons of money, time and, possibly, your health.
