so...i just think i may have gotten suckered in. mig cigs...

[jdm1982]

so like i said in a previous thread in this forum, i bought a couple ego twists with mini pro tanks and was thrilled with how i dropped the analogs immediately. overjoyed is an understatement.

so i was watching a bunch of vapourizers and e - cig reviews on you tube. love the ego c-twists, but wouldn't mind a spare smaller one for just being on the go etc. so i came across these mig cigs. there was a few reviews i watched, and they were all pretty positive. i noticed these had small tanks instead of the cartridges, and they kept saying the 4.2 volts helps with a bigger cloud then most cigalkes there size(although these are longer)

bought a kit, 100 bucks shipped to canada. i just read in a thread on here(which i shoulda done first, lesson learned) that this company pays people to give rave reviews on this.

did i just get suckered in to buying junk?

the migcigs put out a "regulated 4.2" volts... this alone means pretty much nothing.
the Watt is a unit of power. Volts x Amps = Watts. they claim this regulated 4.2 volts means its "more powerful" than other comparable batteries on the market. Volts is only half of the equation. we need to know the amp limit.

regulated voltage means the voltage out put to the atomizer is allways the same until the battery dies
non-regulated means it will drop lower and lower each time you use it until it reaches it lowest limit and then die.

It's true that you can't be sure that it is more powerful from knowing only the volts, but I'm not sure I agree that it means nothing. Most cig-a-likes aren't regulated, and the voltage drop off is quick and steep leaving a pretty anemic vape.
It sounds like the cartos are 2.5 ohms. This means 7 watts or so, which is pretty good for a cig-a-like.
I can't speak for the company itself as I have no experience with them, hopefully someone will chime in with some firsthand knowledge.

When it comes to the assertions about their uber 4.2 volt miracle cigalike batteries, I would like to throw one of those on my ECD Meter and see what's really going on there. (Beyond that, I can't get past the really cheesy web site...)

lol awe well, looks like it'll be twists and these will join the v2's in the bottom of the drawer lol.

live and learn.

I think what you bought is a step backwards from the ego twists.

 

[jdm1982]

but when i get em ill give em a shot and let you guys know what i think of em. either way, 3 days ago it was 25 analogs, i cant say im mad.

yeah, thats the impression im getting to. just figured it was half as good as the reviews i watched, it be good for something abit smaller to have around.

We all buy some things that we don't care for...and occasionally we're surprised by how good something is.

Hey, I'm 18 months in and use either a Spinner (like your Twist) or just a regulated 3.6 V sealed 1,300 mAh battery. For me, simplicity works best.

Yea, can't hurt for trying. If they do put out a constant 4.2v, it may mean the life doesn't last as long as well. Personally, I don't mind carrying an EGO battery for to go's, but am looking for something very small and compact enough to fit in jeans pocket on a roller coaster. I might end up getting a cigalike. Other option is to put my EGO on a lanyard, but that might hurt too.

that was kinda my thinking. i get some weird looks driving around hitting the 1000 mah twist with the protank. haha vaping is pretty new / rare around here.i know 2 people, thats it.

Exactly...and won't leak or break in that jeans pocket. Would love to find that too.

Even if you don't like them, you can always pass them on to someone else trying to quit or save them for a day when all your batteries are dead and you're in panic mode. It prolly WILL happen =))

^^ good point. i could always do that true.
