The eRoll is a very good device, other than very limited battery life and such a tiny tank -- but they've just come out with a new model, and a new PCC (portable charging case) to go with it, which will charge and store 3 eRolls, and also store 3 extra tanks -- a much-needed innovation!

They have? OMG I'm off to find that. Thanks a LOT Andria. Ya know, I'm trying to NOT spend more on vaping stuff & you did not help with that (lol).

edit: do you have a link for this? I've been trying to find it & can't seem to. ty

Most of us have been in your shoes. I went with a simple vv 1100mah winder and evod to get started. My wife went with a cigalike to get started. She was very hesitant to get something bigger than a cigalike. She made it work for a couple months but the tradeoffs made it hard on her (constant charging and refilling). The vapor production wasn't bad though. She quickly stepped up to a simple 650 mah spinner and evod and that was the game changer. Now she uses itaste 3.0s and protank 3 minis exclusively and may never change that.

I rec'ed the eroll because it's about the best cigalike out there that gives you the convenience of a tank and still small form factor but lack of variable voltage and short battery life are still going to cause more fiddling than you might think. They are good devices from everything I've seen but they still fall a good bit short of just the next step up. Unfortunately to take the step you have to trade size. No two ways around it.

If you get the eroll or similar and feel that you would prefer longer battery life with variable voltage then Vision has a 400mah spinner battery (smallest vv stick on the market as far as I know) and a protank 3 mini would fit very nicely on it (same diameter as the battery). This would be about the same size as a small cigar. 400mah would give you 3-4 hours of use unless you chain vape and you can adjust your vape as you see fit with the variable voltage.

Variable voltage seemed complicated to me when I first bought mine but after about 30 minutes it was stupid simple. It's just like a volume button on a stereo. If I wanted more vapor I just turned the little dial up a bit and vice versa. Very simple but ability to tune in my preferred vape made it quite easy to never smoke again.

You can get (2) 400mah batteries, (2) protank3 minis, and 2 packs of replacement coils for less than $80. I'm not trying to steer you away from cigalikes. If they work for you then I couldn't be happier. If they don't then my rec above would be the next closest thing in form that would really negate some of the shortcomings.

They look nice, although they're not automatic. But, I do know that anything that says "Joyetech" on it is going to be fairly costly. From the size of it, as apparent in the pic, the ARO Winder 900mAh is roughly that slender, and the Mini Protank II is exactly the same width -- you could probably buy two complete sets of those two items for less than you could buy one Joyetech 510cc. And the Mini Protank II is a VERY good-vaping tank, for being that small.

I have one of those ARO Winder 900mAh batteries, and though I was a bit concerned at first about the low-ish mAh rating, it actually compares very favorably in charge-time to other batteries of that size. I like the 900 mAh version better than the other Winder versions, because it doesn't have that "collar" where the button is -- there is no collar, the button is right on the body of the battery, like the 510cc.

ook, mini protank ill check that out. i used to have a ton of stardust clearomisers and they leaked and burn horribly so that was also a factor that made me quit.
i have a ego twist battery so i may try those Andria. thanks for the recommendation :)

There's a thread here, "the eRoll-C is coming" -- there's some info in there about it; apparently it's now available at the Joyetech site? I don't know for sure, but that's what I hear.

I know the feeling though; in the vv3 thread last week i said "I won't be buying anymore mods for awhile"... and just the other day was sweating out a stainless Vamo V2 for a great price, since I'm enjoying my black chrome V2 so much. :D
