So I had finally decided to to order the Volt from Smokeless Image today and then my friend told me about the ecig he just got from Electronic Cigarettes: e cigarette, vapor, electric, e cigs, | V2Cigs It seems to be pretty much the same thing but a little more expensive. Of all the things I have had recommended to me on this site this is one I have never even heard of so im curious if anyone here knows anything about it? I have tried to do some research.50$ more in price but comes with 3 batteries instead of the volts 2 and comes with 25 carts. Does the PCC charge? Thanks for any input

ummmm I will tell you that you made a great choice. The VOLT is a better buy, better product and has better customer service IMO......
FORGOT TO ADD.... V2....why pay that much for a product anyways? I hate to say it but I had to many complaints with V2. Always short ordered or what I didn't order and the cost! Im sorry to sound so harsh but again, thats IMO... I don't think you will have any regrets. Happy vaping:)

With this being your third try why would you get a mini ecig again? I'm not picking on you - really. Just trying to understand the logic. If you're going to pay that much why not go for a bigger battery that will provide more vapor, throat hit and satisfaction for less money? You could get a LF Ego/Riva starter kit for less with much more power and batt life. Please take this in the spirit intended. Hope it works for you. Hang in there :)

Of course, others here have tried several, but my first (and only, thus far) was a V2, mainly because I had seen good reviews, and for the Traveler Starter Pack I wanted, it came with two batteries (that you could mix/match colors and auto/manual), a traveling charger case, a cig that is actually on a USB cord rather than a battery, which I really like when I'm on my computer or in the car (using it now... harder hit than the others, too) and came with 15 cartridges, rather than 5, which I saw a lot. And of course, the wall charger, which is really just the plug-in unit, and all charging attachments are USB, so all are intermixable. Though I haven't tried any others, I'm really happy with my purchase so far. I always have one charging, one charged, and if I'm totally out of luck, one to plug in and vape with.

My one qualm was with ordering on the website - for some reason, after going through all of the steps with address, billing address, shipping preferences, and credit card info, I kept circling back around to the beginning with address, billing, shipping, etc., when I tried to finalize the order. After a few attempts and continued circling, I ended up just calling and placing the order with a representative, who was surprisingly pleasant, and quite nice. Paid for overnight, came as expected.

I hadn't found too many people unhappy with their product, just with timely shipping and issues with products being out of stock and on backorder, which I believe was resolved, and due to moving to a new and bigger warehouse or something, but I never had any issues at all.

I think you already bought your pv, but figured I'd throw my V2 input out there, since I'm quite pleased, and am often disappointed with things I get too excited about before they've arrived at my mailbox. :) (of course, I'm usually pretty impulsive - I WANT IT NOW - and get what's available THEN, AND THERE... almost bought a SmokeAnywhere from a mall kiosk because I didn't want to wait a day or two for shipping. SOOOOO glad I didn't...)

*also surprised: dropped my automatic battery in my watercolor painting water tub, and she's good to go. Whew... got away with that one...

Anyway... I'm sure someday I'll upgrade, but for now, this newbie is pretty stoked.

Volts or Vapor4Life or basic KR8080D-1 manual kit from LiteCigUSA.net

I recommend manual batteries because you will be refilling cartos and if a carto leaks it will leak right above where an auto battery's drag switch can be damaged or killed.

Prefilled cartos - dunno what Volt has but Vapor4Life, Bloogplanet and Smoketip have prefilled KR808D-1 cartos and V2 as well. I use Vapor4Life blanks and I'm going to try the Madvapes blanks which sound hot like the Vapor4Life WOW cartos (I use a plastic drip tip as cool mouthpiece with those)

@boodle... Im just not interested in toting around some huge device that will look like im smoking ......... out of some pipe or screwdriver. Im not knocking them.. I do understand the features and benefits and im sure they work great! I may one day consider getting one for home use but I am district manager and I just cant be seen carrying something like that around and using it at my office without people wondering what the heck im doing

I recommend manual batteries

LiteCigUSA has light up jewel end ones with pushybuttons for only $10. Not many colors, and only the short kind, but if anybody has long ones with both those important features, please tell the link.

This is what I had said in another thread.......

........ My wife and I both have VOLTs and the eGos as well as few big batt mods and we use them all. Really they all perform a little different and we all have our own preference. My wife loves her VOLT cause its so easy to use and she has quite a few PV's but the VOLT is her go to battery, but that's her preference though...... I think the VOLT, ego and all my other PV's are easy to use but my ProVari is my go to batt cause with adapters, I can tune in the right voltage to a carto and flavor and simply enjoy it all day.....again, that's my preference...... Needless to say,..you will probably be an owner of a few different type of batteries and some you may not like now, you might like latter.
Eventually, with each battery you will know what exact carto/atty works best on it that fits and works for you. It's really trial and error......even though someone or many here say get this or get that do this do that...and all are great advice! But it's really just a starting point. So when you hear,...get an eGo a Riva a VOLT a 801 batt a 510 batt or what ever, all I can say is get or start with a product that most suggest. You may not like it but it is a start!
I think that the VOLT is a great product just as much as most of the other venders products both cost and quality. Smokeless Image's VOLT is affordable and the customer service is awesome! Perfect for a beginner or someone that just wants to try another product. I'm not saying it's the best of the best but it is a great product for the price and the user. eGo's, echo's etc,,,, all are good PV's in fact, I know a few that have owned or have used just about all of them but only prefer the eGo batt.....why?.... again it's there preference.
Anyways, hope that gives you some insight and as usual were all here to help Happy Vaping

I totally understand. I was projecting my distaste for the mini ecig on you. I paid $190 for the 51Trio at the mall. Just not enough uph or flavor or anything. Still, it got me on the hunt for something better. Hope yours your new kit works great for you. Many love the slim minis. If you decide on a mod someday SuperT has a beautiful executive-looking one called Precise. Beautiful. They're suppliers here on ECF. Congrats to you. :)

I ordered my V2 in mid-may. I am very happy with it. They have a few pre filled carts flavors that I like and I think the quality of the product is top notch. I think a big problem with them was their shipping and from what I have read they had problems keeping things in stock. I can say now that I have had zero problems with either of those issues in the 3 orders i have placed with them. The shipping time is a tad longer that some others but not bad.

With that being said I can honestly say that if I had found this site prior to ordering the V2- I never would have ordered the V2 lol. For no other reason than that you can get the same quality product in the Volt or Vapor king for less money. I would prob be using a Volt right now. If V2 ever decides to lower their prices a great deal I would sing their praises but as of now you can def save a fair amount of money going elsewhere.

PS. You can really see the price differences when you check out their prices for replacement batts, pcc's, P T's etc.

I cannot thank everyone here enough for their support and feed back. I literally JUST ordered my VOLT from smokeless image and couldn't be more excited. I got the premium starter kit that includes PCC, 2 batteries, usb wall, usb car, passthrough, 10 carts, and an extra 5 pack i added for only 80$ after my promo code and shipping is free?! A customer service rep guaranteed 3 day delivery from USPS too? Not sure about that part but It would certainly be cool. Anyways thanks again to everyone that helped me make a decision im so excited to get off nasty analog cigs.
