Hey all... I just became aware of the existence of e-cigs only a few days ago when I came across a "Smoking Everywhere" kiosk at a local mall... I wasn't too impressed with their product (and it was CRAZY expensive!) but it sparked my interest enough to do some internet research... I'm keenly interested in trading in my 25 year smoking habit for vaping, but I'm afraid I've gotten a bit of data over-load... (or analysis paralysis, as it were.)
I had no idea there were so many models, brands, and dealers out there... Every time I think I've made a decision on which one looks right for me, I read some review of another model that makes me question my previous resolve... My criteria is probably not very different from most... I'm looking for something that most closely replicates the physical experience of analogs (vapor volume, throat hit, pull, etc.) without being excessively large, or very expensive... I realize that nothing out there will come close enough to smoking tobacco, that I would confuse it with the real thing... I just want to feel like I'm smoking something, instead of sucking air through a straw.
I'd also like it to be as close to the size of an analog as possible, so I'm not too interested in the pen-style puffers, and since I plan to get a PCC, battery life isn't so much an issue to me...
I've narrowed it down to the VX2, 510 and 402... I'm leaning toward the VX2 from Litecig, but I'm not crazy about the whistle style mouthpiece... I've read that the 510 produces more vapor, and gives a better throat hit with the manual switch, but it looks kinda big.. And can be kinda expensive.. I've heard good things about the 402, but I haven't seen one that has a PCC available, and the one that litecig offers looks a little too feminine for me... (I also don't want anything that looks like a filtered cigarette, either) But it is cheap...
The BluCig also looks good to me, due to its size, cost, PCC, and over-all sleek looks, but I get conflicting reviews about its hit, and vapor producing capabilities...
I've been searching and reading this forum (and other sites) extensively, but there's nothing that can replace personal exchange of information/recommendation... So, if anyone would care to offer their opinion, I'd greatly appreciate it... Maybe my head will stop spinning!
Thanks,
Moss
