Well, I'm sure this is the first question every newb on the boards asks, however I'm not a newb.
I started vaping back at the beginning of last year, and started with the original DSE901b's. I figured it was better than smoking, but it was highly impractical, the atomizers were slightly high-maintenance, and the batteries basically SUCKED.
It was so impractical that I quit and went back to smoking real cigarettes.
Well, things have changed now, and with a child on the way, I want to get off cigarettes for good. I've been doing a lot of reading, and a lot of research on these boards...for hours a day, for the last week.
From what I've collected, there's TOO many products out there now, with too many different types of parts and exchangeable components to know exactly what is the BEST.
This is what it comes down to. I smoke almost 2 packs a day, and I've been smoking Camel Crush mostly. I realize there's all these modded e-cigs, and switch enabled batteries and a damn SCREWDRIVER you can smoke out of, but I have to ask...
What's the best kit to start with, for a smoker like me? First and foremost, what matters to me is the battery life. I don't want to have to charge up every few hours, and I also don't want to have to carry around 5 batteries with me. I was hoping to find something with reasonable battery life, and USB Pass-through would be great, cuz I spend a good deal of my smoking time in my car, or at the office, in front of my PC. But when I'm away from the car/office, I'm usually out of reach of a wall socket for 5-7 hours. I need something that can last that type of action.
The next most important thing to me is the density/amount/throat hit of the vapor. I need that there. As a smoker, my fixation is more on the oral/filling your mouth with smoke aspect than the nicotine addiction. I can go without the nicotine, I just can't go without having the smokey goodness fill me up from the inside.
Finally, when it comes to juice, I've read so many reviews that my mind is basically fried. The bottom line for me is that I don't particularly care what it tastes like. I like Menthol, and anything sweet (RY3 or RY4??), and I was hoping to vape with low nicotine liquids. And...no, I am not allergic to PG.
I saw a review for one penstyle called the PILOT, and I also remember the initial Janty Dura reviews being great, especially with that little portable charging pack thing it comes with. Now, it seems, there is the Dura-C, as well as the KissBox with all the bells and whistles. And I also saw a really great review on the 801 with USB Pass Through.
I don't really mind much when it comes to the shape/size/form factor the product, but I digg the feedback that has been given to the Dura and the 801 with the pass through. It also seems like the PILOT has been getting rave reviewss. I also really like all the stuff that is included in the pack for the KissBOX Classic on Janty's site.
It comes down to this: of these four that I'm considering, are there any that I have left out of comparable quality/performance, and if not...then which of these four would suit my needs best?
The Pilot, the 801, the Dura-C, or the KissBox?
And as a side note, which juice(s) is/are good?
I know this is totally newb-ish sounding, and a bit demanding, but I would really appreciate everybody's help/input on this.
Thanks and happy vaping!
