Hi ernierod
I looked in to SA Vendors when I was back home visiting my brother in Joburg over Christmas (Got him into
vaping and off the analogs too), thought I'd score a good deal based on my Canadian Dollars but was shocked to see the prices for hardware &
juice - you guys are being ripped off big time.
We ordered him the same set-up I'm using (see below) from Canadian/US suppliers online and even with the shipping, it worked out cheaper than buying the equivalent stuff locally, most of the suppliers will ship to SA.
Honestly, the cigarette looking type (Green Smoke etc.) are just ok - I started off on the V2 Cig - identical concept and while they worked ok, they just didn't replace the analog cigs for me - I did smoke less analogs but kept going back for one every now & then. Then I got to using a SmokeTech Dual Coil
tank (1.5 ohm) on an eGo C Twist Variable Voltage (1000 mah) at 4.6 volts and Oh Wow - haven't touched an analog cig in over 5 weeks - the eGo looks nothing like a traditional analog cig but man it is a perfect substitute for me. Good Vapor, Great Flavour & throat hit and best of all, the battery lasts all day on a single charge and the 3 ml tank saves on refilling carto's and lasts me all day as well.

This set-up including the USB Charger & wall charger and including shipping to Joburg cost him R 773.73 (R 426.29 for the hardware & R 347.44 for express shipping).
If you want to go High End, I recommend the ProVari - awsome device but runs about C$ 346.00 all in
Good Luck.
