recommend me.....

[tomlondon1978]

so I have dabbled in C-cigs now and then but havent had one for about a year and I am guessing things have moved in, now living in Amsterdam so want to buy a new one, Ill only be using it when out and about in bars so something cigarette shapped and easy to take around with me would be great.

any recommendations?

Since this is something only for out to bars, and you want a cigarette shape, I would recommend the venerable KR808d-1. Lots and lots of vendors listed here sell kits for ~$30. It uses cartomizers, which you can fill before going out, and they last a long time. Another good model, which lots sell here for about the same price, is the Joye 510. I would also recommend cartomizers for it too, and Boge 510 cartos are excellent. For a longer evening at the bar, I would recommend getting extra batteries and charging them up before hand, or get a PCC (Personal Charging Case), and depending on how often you hit, they might last as little as 30 minutes each. A bit longer for the KR808d-1, but about that.

If you don't mind a bit of a thicker model, the eGo will last longer. Again, very common model that lots of vendors carry. You could probably get a whole evening on one charge, but generally we carry backups with us.

Many other options exist now, so...

Internal... Don, this is your queue to link your WWV pieces!

The specific Kr8 that I now recommend is the VOLT from Smokeless Image. It is virtually identical to the Bloog MaxX Fusion (about which I raved last February in this review), but less expensive. [I see that Smokeless Image "does ship world wide."] Their 65mm batteries will provide you with a 103mm e-cig: just about the same size as a 100s analog cigarette. It is 220 mAh (which means it will last longer than most small e-cigs, but only about 1/3 as long as that 650 mAh eGo that Kurt mentioned).

The $45 two-battery "Standard Starter Kit" would provide all you would need for a night on the town. [If you won't be vaping very much in the evening, you might be able to get by with their $30 one-battery "Basic Starter Kit."] You'll probably also want to order one or more additional five-packs of cartomizers and/or e-liquid, with which to refill the cartomizers. [FYI: There are many other great suppliers of delicious e-liquid.]

I talk more about the pros and cons of the Kr8 and eGo* in this article (written before the emergence of the VOLT).

* "eGo" actually is JoyeTech's name for the very first "fat batt." They deserve top honors for originating it, but some very worthy successors have followed, including the Riva-510, the lowest cost supplier for which is Liberty-Flights (which I see does ship worldwide).​

NOTE: If you can identify a Netherlands-based supplier for any of these models, the total cost to you (including shipping) may very well be less than the US-based suppliers I have mentioned.
