Hey everyone, I am an average smoker, smoke about 2 packs a week or so. 6 months ago I tried switching to ecigs and quitting real cigarettes. I ended up going with the Pure ecig starter pack and was pretty disappointed. Firstly one of the two batteries that came with it doesnt work at all. The LED lights up but no smoke is emitted. I have submitted a support ticket 5 times now and each time someone responds with "loosen the cartridge"(which I have tried) and then they close the ticket.

Also, they said that a single cartridge should last the equivalent of at least an entire pack of cigarettes, but in my case it barely even lasts the equivalent of 3 cigarettes and it ends up being even MORE expensive than smoking real cigarettes..... Also, hardly any vapor smoke is emitted so it definitely doesn't feel like smoking a real cigarette.

I am hoping someone could reccomend a really good ecig for me that feels more like smoking the real thing and lasts longer and most of all is affordable.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

the bloog maxx fusion was my first,and it is pretty close to an analog.you just need a few batteries if you are a heavy smoker.

Hey everyone, just checking in once again, I received my e-juice in the mail today(they sent me 3 bottles to make up for the mixup)! Everything is going great, but I do have one question.

The cartridges that came with are very small(maybe a half an inch). Because of this it is very hard to fill them(I tried with and without a syringe). I have to put just a few drops in at a time or it overflows very quickly.

Can anyone recommend a better replacement for these cartridges? I've been seeing some online that are clear so that it's easier to fill and you can see how much juice you have left. I'm basically looking for some cartridges that have a larger capacity and are easier to fill.

If anyone could recommend a good one it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for everything!

Oh another thing is that after about 5 minutes the button started blinking rapidly, on my Pure Cig that meant that the battery was dead, but this was after a full charge(the light on the charger turned green). So how could this be?

that is a built safety shutoff feature,,keeps you from burning up the battery from long hits...some are set at 5sec and others 7secs

its a good thing

Okay, I've been there!

So, I went to Halo.com and got:
Model: Element
Battery Type: Manual
Battery Color: Black
Battery Thread: Silver
Battery LED Color: Blue
Battery Logo: Halo Flame
Battery Cut-Off Time: No Cut-Off
Battery Lifespan: 300 cycles
Battery Actual Voltage: 3.3 - 4.2 volts // Battery Rated Voltage: 3.7 volts // Battery Capacity: 280 mAh (85mm)
Battery Width: 9.2mm. And, of course, I bought battery charger!

I ALSO BOUGHT: a Pass Through battery.
These run off of a battery that is constantly being charged while in use. You will need an AC/USB adapter for a Pass Through, but they are available and inexpensive. I do not recommend you use the USB port on your computer (unless you like a fried mother-board) and absolutely do not use it on your lap top!
Also, I like the cartomizers, which are refillable. I get them blank and fill them with my favorite flavors. I like to have atomizers with drip-tips as well, for at home and to switch flavors. (I rinse them out with Hot water, let dry, and use for another flavor more easily than switching flavors on cartomizers, though it is do-able!)
If you want a good tobacco flavor, Halo has Tribeca and Prime, both are tasty.

Viking Vapors is another great place to get your E-juice. They will help you with the mix (flavor, throat hit & nicotine mg#). Their flavors (+100 choices) are very good, they will custom mix your E-juice to your specifications, and they are reasonably priced!
Eventually, you will learn what you like. Until then, buy small bottles to sample the flavors!!!!

Happy Vaping! :vapor:
