I had my xhaleo2 for one month then it just stop working? so i switched it for a new one and now after two weeks its dead again. I contacted xhale02.com and they send me two free "new" models to try...they come working for one day only? so wierd...

dont know if its me or is the product just bad? wondering whats a good inexpensive kit like that to start with and why im having bad luck with these

OK
I would review the information on this site and elect a different model.

Keep in mind that almost all mass marketed ecigs are brands - not models. I would look into what model you have and provide input but it is a bit late.

Until then you may want to read my review from when i was pretty new at all this as i bought a mall type of ecig initially as well...

OK
seems like good reviews on the EGO but I kinda want to find something that looks like a analog cig

Ok, I understand as I also agree that issue can be important. Everything is a tradeoff with ecigs. The EGO is essentially a 510 with a fat battery.

You can get one similar in size to an analog - however - the trade off is very short battery life and less consistent hits because of this. I am not really sure what the "best" mini is. Considering that they all have relatively short battery life - it mostly boils down to preferred taste - as long as you get a quality model.

510 - good vapor. 4081 - a bit stronger th, less vapor than a 510. KR808, I don't like, some do. Regardless of what model you choose for a mini, the battery life is likely 1.5 hours with decent use - at best.

I have never used a SmokeStik Hendu (4081) - but there are people on here that are vets that like them, so they must be fairly decent. Again - tradeoff - they are a bit pricey. My personal view is that the SS is likely a better choice for a mini than V4L (KR808). Just my opinion...

You can drip, you can use a cart and atty, or you can just use a cartomizer I prefer carto's myself.

the cart or cartomizer is already ready for drip or do i have to modify it like i have to do if i used a xhale02 catridge where i have to do modifications? i might invest into a ego if its all ready for drip? so all i do is get a cart with atty or cartomizer and just drip?

whats battery life on ego compared to a 510? 1.5 hours of continuos use right? normally each time of use is a few minutes anyways?

Everyone is really fond of the ego models under all the different names (which is a good testament to the device). I have not ordered one of these yet but i'm going to purchase the hello 016 model soon. This is a device that looks similar to an ego for all practical purposes but the battery is 1300 mah. Meaning pretty much the same size with 10x the life of a penstyle bat. I have looked through a bunch of different sites and they are the same price range as well. As far as reviews, almost every review i've seen really likes them. I do want to stress I haven't purchased one yet so all of this is second hand but it is a good option to look at as well.

when ordering liquid, 5ml and 15ml, how many cartridges does that fill?

I go through 3-5 mil a day. I do vape quite a bit tho. I have a driptip on my cartos and tend to keep them very wet. So I can't really say they are ever actually empty. When my vape production feels like its dropping somewhat I just drop a few more drops right in the driptip. If your new to this and not really sure about juice I would advise finding a site that offers samples Freedomsmokeusa is a pretty good one that lets u buy 3 mil bottles for 2.25. That way you can find something you really like before ordering large quantities.

The Ego lets you have the option of their cartos or atomizers as well as taking any 510 model atty or cart. So You are able to order 510 cartos that don't require the use of a syringe to fill. This is one of the reasons that people like these models so much, they are very versatile. Whichever way you go tho if your trying to get off analogs just make sure you have plenty of juice when the device comes in. I would suggest 30 mil so you arent going to run out and jump right back on the analogs. Most people find that the prefilled carts taste like stale donkey .... too just an fyi... :)

so the prefilled carts with the EGo, are those thrown away away use or can i use those same ones to refill? or do I have to order 510 carts to refill without a syringe?

You would have to order some some softip 510 cartomizers to refill without a syringe. You can also drip with an atomizer on an ego as well. Many people swear by cartomizers and many love atomizers. Alot of this stuff is a matter of preference that you will find after exploring a bit. I use 510 manual bats with softip cartomizers for when im out of the house. While at home I use a 5volt passthrough and drip with a 2.5 ohm atomizer. I have this on order RoughStack should be here today or tomorrow. I will be starting with a low resistance 510 atty and see how that goes. If its not quite right ill try some other atty/carto options until I hit the right mix :)
