The Best Electronic Cigarette for a First-time Vaper

[sanfordf]

There should be 4th of July sales coming up, so I would wait until then, just to see what things will cost then. Some vendors have started a little early, so check around. A good place to start may be the 'Forum Suppliers' link at the top of every page.

People who were leaning toward the Kr8 but were enamored with the 510's eGO (and its cousins) no longer need to be torn. CigEasy has released the Elegant: a 750 mAh eGO-type battery for Kr8 cartomizers ... and the 901 atomizer. And I also use it (with adapter) with my beloved penstyle attys. I reviewed it this weekend here.

Definitely SmokeTip for first timers. It's just easier with cartomizers at first. After a while I encourage them to get a 901 atty to use on the SmokeTip battery. Then they can drip and try out more flavors.

I don't have much experience with different models, but I would definitely recommend an M-40x model to anyone.

I started with a Green Smoke cartomizer unit before I found this forum, and while I liked the idea, that particular model didn't work well for me.

I do love my M4's. Unlike people who talk about attys being disposable, I have only had one atty go bad on me in over a year of part-time vaping. I've bought extras, but mostly for keeping different flavors separate.

I really got excited when I got my M-402 PCC. It will charge a battery, hold 4 carts, and hold an assembled M-402 PV so all you have to do is open the case, grab the PV, and start puffing. Just like taking a cigarette out of a pack.

I can't speak to how my M4 compares to other models in vapor production, etc., (and actually I do want to try something new some day) but I know it works great for me, and I like having the compact cigarette-pack-sized box that contains everything I need for a day or two.

Whoa, this is pretty awesome!

Norby, as I said in the review: There is no one best e-cig for all vapers! The important thing is that you have found a model that you enjoy. Stick with it ... unless and until you get restless.

At that point, you may want to take a second look at the models covered in my review (and their big brothers, eGO and Riva for the 510 and Elegant for the Kr8 and 901) ... and/or the vast world of mods.

Whoa, this is pretty awesome!

I love your enthusiasm, Koman! Unfortunately, I don't know what the referent is for "this." That is, what is pretty awesome?

The whole world of vaping? I couldn't agree with you more!

 

[Norby]

Absolutely. In fact I am in the middle of researching the "bigger" 510 models (eGo/Tornado/TREX/MaXX/etc.) But only since I've finally gotten comfortable with my current model. Now I'm ready for a step up.

I just have to make sure I don't go overboard, or I risk spending all the money I would be saving not buying analogs.

I really do appreciate all the extremely helpful (and entertaining) wealth of information and experience you contribute to this site. Thank you!

I've read some negative things about the T-Rex/MaXX. I am most impressed by the eGO-sized 750mAh Riva and larger 1300mAh Hello 016. They are higher capacity and less expensive than the eGO/Tornado. The H16 (as it is abbreviated) can be had for $35 from DigitalCiggz, i.e., the same as a 510 starter kit from Cignot. It comes with only one battery (and charger) and atty, but what a battery! All you need for a full day and evening of vaping.
