So many questions
I am a long time smoker. I tried vaping a while back. I started with one brand that I thought was fairly good (I forget which brand it was) and eventually bought a Blucig kit that I used for a couple of months. I found them both to be somewhat lacking, and eventually sold them to a friend who still uses them.
I know I have a lot of questions and have included a lot of supposition, bit I really hope you can help me muddle through all of the mess and confusion here. At the end I have two models I am seriously interested in purchasing. Once I get some usefull answers I'll be placing an order for one of them.
There are so many models and choices out there now than there were just a couple of years ago, that I am completely overwhelmed with information overload. Even after going through some of the new users guides here in the forums, I really dont know what I am looking at. I was eventually pointed in so many directions too, that once I found something I liked, something else would pop up and say; Hey, look at me. I am at a complete loss.
I guess I am a typical newbie in a lot of respects. I am confused about what cartomizers are and do. Also, what is the difference between dipping and dripping? That is why I came to the models I am comparing below.
There is someone I work with who uses a Screwdriver by Totally Wicked. She seems to like it a lot. I like the design and it seems to provide a lot of vapor as well. The only drawback to her is in the motion of its use. That would be an area of acceptability to me, but she finds it somewhat odd. Still she uses it regularly. A major drawback is the use of cartridges.
Another model on the Totally Wicked site, the Tornado, looks almost perfect for what I want. There are no cartridges to replace and the tanks are refillable, making this seem like a great choice for controlling cost and ease of use. The kit sells for $76.49 USD, so is very acceptable as far as price. The Tornado seems to be a better solution than the Screwdriver too, simply because of the Screwdrivers need of prefilled (either factory, or self filled) cartridges. I am seriously considering the Tornado as one of my primary choices. There are no cartridges to buy afterwards.
I was also pointed to another E-Cig manufacturer by someone in another forum, Super T Manufacturing. They have a model on their site, called the "Precise 18650" with brass accents. This really interests me in the fact that it can be used with a liquid bottle attached or without and has the ability to use different batteries. I have no idea what the cost would be to get outfitted with what I need to get started though, as they don't show any kind of kit, although I am not too awefully concerned with the initial cost as much as I am with performance and ease of use and cost effectieness after the purchase.
What I want is something that will provide good above average vapor production, good throat hit and last more than the equivalent of a couple of cigarettes. The Super T's Precise 18650 model look like it would do that well. Super T seems to have everything I would need to really get up and running, including adapters and chargers. The bad part about Super T is that as I mentioned above, I don't know what I need to buy to get it up and running, so to speak.
There is also a lot of information on batteries and voltages. Although I am not too concerned with the initial cost, I do want it be fairly cheap to use once I do finally choose a model. I am highly interested in the multi voltage designs though.
I guess what I really want is something that combines the functionality of the Tornado with the look and feel of the Precise.
But in either case, I don't want a high usage cost afterward; purchasing liquid aside.
Does the precise use a somewhat similar concept of using storage tanks built in so there is no need for foam filled cartridges?
After watching Super T's videos, it appears their cartomizers do exactly that; they dont use any kind of foam filler to store the liquid. If that is the case, the Precise is probably exactly what I am looking for, with, or without the feeder attachment. I do like the ability to use the feeder attachment so that I can attach a larger bottle of my favorite juice. In addition, the ability to use multiple voltages is be a major advantage as once I find the liquid/ voltage combination I like best, I won't need to change anything. I will be going to the Super T site to ask a lot of questions too, so hopefully I wont get a canned response with a lot of advertising propaganda.
In the end, I guess thats what I really need to know. Both the Tornado and the Precise offer great almost fantastic vapor production. If the Precise uses the same type of on board storage as the Tornado plus the ability to add bottle feeding without the need to purchase cartridges, then this will definitely be something I want.
And if that really is the case, I'll definitely buy from Super T, provided I don't spend a week's pay.
What are your thoughts?
