Trying to decide on first E Cig

[osnarf]

Hi everyone, i'm new to this whole thing and i'm trying to pick an e-cig. Here is some info to help you help me:

-I am a hookah smoker, not a cig smoker, so the realistic look doesn't matter to me. I could see benefits to a small or larger model (small would be nice for using in public but large is more what i'm used to holding - like a hookah hose).
-I don't smoke every day, or even every 3 days, but when I do it is for 3-8 hours of almost non-stop drawing while i study or watch movies (so battery life is a plus - or something i can be charging a second set of batteries so i can swap them out, i usually smoke at home)
-The main reason I smoke is to play with the smoke (ie: smoke rings), so dense smoke is my #1 want.
-Not sure if they all do, but if not, something with rechargeable batteries would be nice.
-It would be nice to be able to mix my own solution to save money. I probably won't even put nicotine in there. As i understand it if you make your own you can put more glycerine in and get more of a dense fog.

Think i covered all bases there. I appreciate the help!

I'm not a hooka user, but as a former cigar smoker I can make a couple of suggestions which may work well for you.

1. Joye eGo with an eGo Mega Cylynder atomizer- or Joye eGo Mega Cartomizers.

2. For really heavy vapor... go with something that is 100% VG. Many juice vendors sell 100% VG juice. Cignot (Ecopure Juice) and Freedom Smoke USA are two of many options.

You might also consider a high voltage mod like the GLV 2 from Great Lakes Vapor. This is also one of many options.

Just a few ideas for you. Others may give you other good ideas.

If you need long battery life and don't care if it looks like a cig-go for an ego..........for those requirements it fits.

The vg kit at onestopdiyshop.com would do you great. Or even just vg and flavoring.......add pg as well for some throat hit and you have that covered too.

Hi and welcome to ECF. Here's what I'd suggest since you wouldn't be using it a lot Joye eGo Passthru. You don't need anything else but juice and an atomizer with drip tip, or cartomizers. You could get the whole setup for right around $35 shipping included. I would suggest going with the 1000mah battery though since it's only $4 more. You can find it on the drop down menu.
As far as juice, you can find Humco brand VG, USP grade at Walmart for around $3 for a 6 oz bottle. Lorann's flavorings can be purchased at Hobby Lobby for about $2.50.

I'd reccomend the Ego from jantyworld.com it's a great performer and comes with the best warranty.

I second the Ego with passthrough. The only thing I would add to CSKent's advice above would be add the AC adapter so you can plug it into the electrical outlet rather than the laptop. With the 1,000 mAh battery, this setup would definitely carry you through movies and studying.

Thanks everyone, for all the responses.

I looked at the eGo, and the price was awesome definately, but i read some things I didn't like about it, and i'm not crazy about the style.

Cozzicon, I went with the GLV 2 6v. That was exactly what I was looking for, thanks! I really like the way that you hold it, too. I ordered that, some PG, some VG, and about 20-25 different flavorings from that DIY website, LOL. Will be having a ton of fun when it comes in, I am sure.

Appreciate the help guys, will let you know how it goes.

Good luck with your choice. And the GLV 2 is an excellent PV.

Also consider using a cartomizer, very convenient, good performance and long runs on a fill.

Thank you. You just talked me into getting an eGo instead of a 501. I actually managed to get a few puffs off one of those at the local smoke hole and it gives nice hits.
