first off i wanna say great site, everyone seems very nice and helpful to everyone. since i found this site 2 days ago, i have been on here about 5-8 hours just reading and trying to gather info... WOW sooo much i didnt know, i know this is the number one nub question, but i need some help bad. I thought i knew what i wanted till i came here lol ... now im more confused then before... i feel like my brain turned to mush, there is sooo much info to process. sooooo what would be the best e-cig for me???
I am a heavy smoker, 2 packs a day for about 3-5 yrs, have been smoking all togther about 12 yrs. I smoke marlboro mediums. So i guess im looking for a e-cig that has very good vaper, and feels like real smoke in my lungs/mouth lol. I dont want a pen looking thing, and im not sure if i would really like the metal , machine looking type or not (im in the air with this type)
i found out about e-cigs only a cpl weeks ago from smoke51, but since have learned from on here that they are not a good choice.
price really isnt to much of an issue... put i dont wanna really go over $150 and at that price it better be AWESOME Really i dont care what it looks like (i do care, but i have to get over the wanting of a "analog look alike" because from what i read on here, the "really good ones" look nuthin like a analog.



I have a few other nub questions as well if you dont mind.....

1. dipping or dripping? which is better and why, also when you do either of these, do you have a regular cartridge full of nicotine as well ?

2. Is it better to get the atomizers in the filter ? or to have the 3 peice where you have to clean it and have to change it out?

3. lets say i go with a 2 peice can you buy "juice" for any cartridge/e-cig?
what is the benefit for getting juice or not?

4. Is this juice just as good, as far as taste and vapor and all that as the stock cart?

5. i hear these numbers thrown around alot for example... 510 801 901 etc... are these diff. types of e-cigs? or?

any and all help and answers will be very much appreciated by this noob.
thanks again for answering the 1 millionth repeating question lol.

I know that you've been reading mucho but I highly recommend you read: The Wonderful World of Vaping: An Illustrated Guide to E-cigs (Parts 1 through 5 of 6) PLEASE DO NOT POST IN HERE!!! THANK YOU it describes all of the types of e-cigs w/pictures and explains a LOT. After reading this you may want to amend your questions a little.

1. dipping or dripping? which is better and why, also when you do either of these, do you have a regular cartridge full of nicotine as well ?

They both accomplish the same thing - getting the atty soaked in eLiquid. Which is better would depend. Some atomizers have their wicks exposed and these can be either dripped or dipped. Others have the wicks inside a casing and these can only be dripped on. Caution should be used when dripping while using an automatic battery for risk of getting eLiquid in to the battery and damaging it.


2. Is it better to get the atomizers in the filter ? or to have the 3 peice where you have to clean it and have to change it out?

Depends on personal preference, having a 2-piece can be more convenient. But going with either choice, cleaning isn't a bad thing. Its an eventuality that an atomizer will die.


3. lets say i go with a 2 peice can you buy "juice" for any cartridge/e-cig?
what is the benefit for getting juice or not?

Yes, any eLiquid from any distributor can be used for any type of eCig. Prefilled carts are more expensive. Getting eJiuce and refilling your own saves you a lot. you can also make/create your own and that saves you even more.

4. Is this juice just as good, as far as taste and vapor and all that as the stock cart?

Yes, just as good and most of the time even better.

5. i hear these numbers thrown around alot for example... 510 801 901 etc... are these diff. types of e-cigs? or?

Those are eCig model numbers. some models are compatible and parts can be interchanged. some are not. Below is a link for a compatibility chart

Hope that helps

m1273c thanks for that link ... i didnt see it since i was blindsided with info so quickly.
archer74 thanks for answering those questions for me bud !!

now for a few more that wernt in the link or i missed, and i think i have mad a choice, but would like your info on it.

first in a video by scotte his 5 favorite... he talked about 510,400's etc like those numbers ment the different types of atomizers?
so what would be the best type of atomizer then? lol

also i think for my first PV, im leaning twords the Joye510
questions:
is this a good choice? why or why not?
if you own one please tell me how is the throat hit and taste?? strong taste or not much taste?
what website or place is the best to purchase one of these baby's, best prices and customer service wise.??
i looked at a website cigtechs . com they offer what looks like 2 different 510's ?? blackhawk510 kit and the Joye510 kit .... whats the diff? what ones better?

again thank you for putting up with me and i do appreciate any info.

The 510 is a good choice. I own that model too. Very good vapor production, good throat hit(too much sometimes), and decent flavor. Someone else have said that some flavors benefit from being vaped through a hot atomizer and the 510 gets hot very quick.

I've experienced leakage from this model. most of the time due to my own fault(overfilling, dripping, vaping too much). Liquid does condense in the mouthpiece and can leak out from the junction between the atomizer and the cart. i'd suggest getting extra manual batteries, a USB passthrough, and a PCC is a good idea.

the Joye510 and the blackhawk510 are the same model. One is generic and the other is branded. like buying a bottle of acetaminophen and buying a bottle of Tylenol.

you can get the 510 from $35 barebones to $65 with extras here

Cignot your Midwest Electronic Cigarette store.
