So I was very disappointed with the Green Smoke, however I was lucky enough to get a full refund. I'd like to still switch to an e cigarette but one thats nothing like the Green Smoke and something that feels just like a normal cigarette. I want something with cartridges I can refill, I've seen some couples sets that something like that would be ideal. I'm prepared to spend what I spent on my Green Smoke witch was $140, I'm sure I can get a lot more then two ....ty batteries and 5 cartridges for that.

Hi, Germcage! Not sure I can point you towards an ecig that "feels just like a normal cigarette". Besides, you'll find that the smaller the battery the more you have to fool with recharging it... which can be frustrating.

Maybe a couple of questions to determine what would work better for you. What disappointed you most about the Green Smoke? Were you a light or heavy smoker?

The fact of the matter is that Greensmoke is not inherently bad. They are KR808D-2.

The "normal" 2 piece systems are KR808D-1, and are MUCH less expensive. There are regularly registered suppliers here selling them for around $40.00 (2 batt, charger and 5 cartos)

The third thing I would like to point out is that the Greensmoke cartomizers are indeed easily refillable, and it is quite easy to do.

That said, I personally believe you should try to get away from something that is "just like" smoking a cigarette, and get a device like the eGo, RIVA, or Hello-016. These are all large battery mods with widespread availability, and accessories.

No reason to start on a "small cigarette like" device that will outgrow it's usefulness in a few weeks to months.

Again, this is just my opinion.

Well I hated that it was hard to draw from, the cartridges i had (Malboro highs) left my throat feeling raw battery life was terrible.
I was looking threw a few guides on the site. I'm considering a bigger one for home, and a mini to take out, possibly...

I was also wondering if there is a good reliable site to just browse different vaporizers and e-juice (i think thats what you refill your cartridges with rite?)

I'd recommend an eGo.... roughly 8 to 10 hours battery life for a fairly heavy vaper, stylish looks, and it's fairly small.... battery is about the size of a AA. The whole thing, cart and all, is about the size of a small petit corona cigar. It's small enough that it works well for out and about without sacrificing battery life IMHO. Many suppliers sale them, so shop around for price / warranty.

The raw throat issue could be either too high nicotine content or PG only juice. I was a heavy smoker (2+ pks/day) and vape 24mg, which would send some people into raw throated coughing spasms. :) Nic juice comes in a variety of flavors. Taste being highly subjective, you'll probably end up trying a few before you find flavors you really enjoy. A PG/VG mix will lower the throat hit. Remember to drink plenty of water!

ANY of the registered suppliers here would be a good place to start "looking" at PV's. I prefer litecig for hardware, and VaporStation for juice. I know for fact that most here will not disagree with ordering from these two.

The fact is that everyone had there preferences, and if you like cartomizers (the all in one capsules like the greencig) getting a cpl standard KR808D-1 for out and about, and an elegant from cigeasy would be a good go, as they use the same cartomizers, just the elegant is much bigger and last for hours.

Going the atomizers route, a 510 kit and an eGo or RIVA would work, as they use the same atomizers.

The other option if it has to stay small would be to get a 510 or KR808 kit, and get a USB passthrough, which replaces the battery completely while at home, or a PCC for charging on the go.

VaporStation has a great 510 starter kit, that comes with a PCC, batteries, and a passthrough. for $59.99, and you can get some juice from them while you are at it to try out.

ive personally fallen in love with the eGo. i use the 3 piece system and just replaced the filler and it hits like a champ. the battery lasts ALL day recharge via usb over night. i smoke constantly and have a spare cartridge. just like a stog huh... idk about all that but i can advocate getting the eGo. i suggest playing around with one for now till you become a champ at it then figure out how to get more vapor/flavor
