I used to use the encore ecig, but at 5 carts for $25.00 (U.S dollars)that is a bit steep, as most here would agree. However I have two friends who use the revolver ecig, and unfortunately I do not see them ceasing in the use of real tobacco which I am wanting to do. I know people are not cookie cutters and how well someone does product to product may vary. On the other hand there is the Volcano ecig, slightly pricer but they do not have as many flavors as revolver and the bottles of juice with revolver are apron 5ml smaller. Most Volcano sizes I seen are about 15ml. The set ups are virtually the same for the most part as what is in the box and such. So anyone who has used these two brands any input as I need a cheeper alternative.

My best tip for you if you're looking to save money is to shop at the mom & pop vendors rather than the big guys like Volcano, Apollo, GreenSmoke, etc. You'll save a ton of money and get more personalized customer service. Discount Vapors has really cheap cartos. Tons of sites carry eGo kits, which is what I would recommend to you. Check out the Suppliers forum, there is an abundance of awesome mom and pop/smalltime operations.
Hello, I quit smoking using Mistic E cigs sold at Wal Mart. This is a good plan given that you know you wont be left high and dry, just go to Wal Mart. The initial kit costs $30 and you will get two batteries, charger, and 3 pre-filled carts. I vape traditional tobacco, and theirs isnt too bad. You can also buy refill carts 5 for $15. Once you have this set up, all you need to do now is buy liquid to refill the carts. The carts are quite resilient. I still have mine (13 of them), and every one of them still works. You can boil them to clean out strong residue, and they are almost good as new. The only draw back is that they are an odd thread, and will not be useful on other devices when you move on. 510 batteries are best in the long run, as most devices are intended for 510 threads. You can buy batteries from LittleShopof Vapors for as low as $6. Get LR Boge carts, and throw together your own kit.
As for juices, I would recommend KVS's OMFG or Mad Hatter Smooth. Most everyone that was a major smoker likes any 555, or RY$ as well. My favorite liquids are from Alien Vision E-juice, Bobas Bounty, and Gorilla juice, but these are 100% VG (THICK), and are not ideal for cartomizers. They do work if you have the patience to fill them slowly, and are willing to gunk up your carts. These days I use ego batteries with tanks, or clearomizers. Recently Ego introduced the "Twist which is a variable voltage battery (3.7-4.8), for approx. $25. This is a must have in your next step to vaping.

Are you against filling your own carto's? Sounds like you are buying them full. You can find good carto's for under a dollar apiece and fill them for a few cents.

I would go volcano lavatube if ya really want to get into vaping its an awesome device for the price its vari volt and you can get 2000mah batteries for it. it is also a 510 thread so anything that you get will fit the majority of name brand gear. The e-go twist is also a great option at 1100mah and vari volt in a smaller package. Also you don't have to use the same juice as the company ya get your e-cig from there are many vendors of good U.S. made juice I am partial to vapedudes. I fill all my own stuff but I have had a vendetta against the the carto since i started to vape. Flavor drops quick, they don't have good vapor output, and they are a pain to fill. I go with graduated CE4s, CE9 tanks, or large clearos for when i am out and about great vapor and they hold a good deal of juice with the benefit of always seeing how much you have left. Then when I am relaxing I drip on a 306 atty, its vape nirvana. But spend a little more upfront on a well known name brand because then you will have easy customer service and if something needs to be warrantied its not a problem. Face it its an electronic that's getting worked pretty hard day to day something is bound to give out, and the good companies will usually switch them no questions asked and with volcano they are very common and most shops that carry vape stuff carry them and will swap out bad batteries right there. Good luck on the upgrade, and vape on.
Hi, It sounds like you are looking for something better. I will recommend the KGO and I know LOTS of other people here will as well. It has a 510 connection and can use a huge variety of juice delivery systems. Also it can support low res cartos or attys. It can even use tanks. At 44.00 the Kgo is a steal. The battery will last most of a day. It is about the size of a sharpie marker. Also you can buy Boge cartomizers in regular or low res and fill them yourself from most any vendor for the KGO. There are a ton of videos on youtube on how to refill them at home. It's really easy. If you want a cig look alike then go with the Volt from Smokless Image. These are hands down the two best options without going to something bigger. Good luck.

If you can find a better deal than the Vtube variable voltage e-cig at $50 for the full kit I'd like to hear about it. Add a spare 1600mah battery and you have a permanent, full featured VV with twice the run time of the largest Twist for about the same money as the two twists you'd have to buy in order to be able to vape while you're charging a battery. Plus, you get up to 6V, a digital display you can actually see, a year warranty and you don't have to throw it away when the battery wears out. The 30% discount code Vtube30 is also good at Apollos' UK site. Apollo VTube Kit
Here's the Stainless Model that goes for $73 shipped. Chrome is $60 and Aluminum is $52
I'd also add that the chrome model is the exact same PV that you can see on Volcano's site for $99

If you are interested in the lava tube Apollo has the same thing cheaper and a better warranty, a full kit costing less than $70 with the promo code vtube30 I think it is.
I can also tell you not all walmarts carry the Mistic, the one here where I live carry the n-joy, which I wasn't happy with.

+1 on the V Tube. I just was not sure if you sounded like you wanted to go that much bigger but if you are willing it would be the best option. If not then the KGO is a great (and smaller) option for you.
