VOLCANO Express Starter Kits?

[zonezilla]

hi im new to vapeing and i currently own a mistic ecig and i was wondering if the volcano express kit would be a good upgrade and if the standard volcano cartomizers will work with it thanks

That really wouldnt be an upgrade at all. Personally I think that's a total ripoff bc it's basically a disposable kit that for some reason costs almost $25. Is there a particular reason that your interested in that?
Bc $25 for only one crappy battery, 2 basic prefilled cartos, and a charger is way too much for what it is.
The regular volcano cartos would work on it, but honestly I wouldnt buy anything from Volcano bc everything they sell is just rebranded and can be bought elsewhere cheaper.

Are you stuck on only wanting an ecig that looks like a real cig? Bc even the best slim ecigs have very small batteries that need to be recharged frequently, and your limited to only using standard resistance attys and cartos with them.

If you don't care, you can get a much better kit that will have a LOT better battery life, and you'd have the option to use low resistance or standard resistance attys and cartos. A bigger battery PV would perform a lot better than your mistic or other slim ecig, and ironically bigger battery PVs like the Epower, kGo, Riva, and eGo are actually cheaper than what many companies sell crappy slim ecigs for.
If your trying to really not spend a lot, you can get a Riva kit for $30 from libertyFlights with the 20% discount. That would be MUCH MUCH better than the Volcano express kit that costs almost just as much. The batteries would last a LOT longer, you'd get 2 batteries instead of only 1, and it would give a much better vape

Or if your willing to spend alittle more, you could get an Epower or kGo kit for $40-45. Both give an awesome vape and have really good battery life that lasts most people a full day on one battery. I use an Epower and love it. It uses removable non-proprietary batteries that cost 1/4 as much as eGo/kGo/riva batteries do. The batteries are 1050mah and I get on avg a day to a day and a half on one battery. The kGo is also a nice PV, but it uses proprietary batteries. The batteries are 1100mah so they last a long time as well.
Both are very nice PVs that give a great vape, and are only $20 more than that express kit, but 1000x better

The express kits are made to work with the cartos just fine. The ecig you get in the express kit, is the very same battery you'd get with the bigger Volcano kit, you just get less stuff. Honestly though, I wouldn't buy it. The battery life is pretty short. It works well enough for a small battery, but the life is very short, maybe 20 minutes of constant vaping?

Now I like the Volcano brand a lot. The Magma kit would be a step up. Though a lot more expensive, in my experience, the set up works pretty well. With the charging pack, you vape on while you charge one, and it keeps up pretty well. I'd say this battery lasts about 45 minutes maybe. If Volcano is what you're going to go with (good brand IMO, my favorite personally, but certainly not the only good brand out there), you either want the Mega Magma battery, or the Inferno kit. The battery life is much more impressive with these. My Mega Magma lasts about half to 3/4 of the day.

You could piece together a basic kit with 2 Mega Magma batteries, a usb charger, a pack of Mega Clearos or Cartos, and a bottle of juice for about $65. About $10 less than the Inferno kit itself. I've never used an Inferno, but I hear really good things in their forum and chat. So I guess the question would be what do you want? Does your ecig need to look and feel more traditional? Or is a mod style okay? And for the record, there are other good brands too. You're not limited to Volcano.

I would suggest Vapor4life.com for e-cigs that look like cigarettes, are a good price and will last you a whole lot longer.

But that's just my

Welcome by the way! (And sad to say I started with Mistic as well, ugh... lol)

Agreed. A lot of companies out of there want to try and get you onto their products and then charge you for something that is almost identical in all sense of the word.

If you don't care about having that simulated cigarette experience, I agree with mynameisrob. I would upgrade to an eGo style battery kit.

If you do care, unfortunately it looks like mystic is a KR808, but the thread are longer than normal KR808 so you won't be able to use it with any other standard KR808 stuff. I'd look at Bloog or Volt for a good slim KR808 kit.

Volcano is a great brand. I went with them because they are located in Hawaii, where I live. Easy to drive to their vapor cafe and shop for what I want. I am very impressed with their customer service and product knowledge. Their online community is also fantastic.


Mail order is fine but I wanted to learn what I liked before ordering in bulk online. Volcano is the only shop in town. Lucky for me, they are great.



I agree with others though, a Volcano starter kit is not an upgrade. The Magma and Inferno are the best ways to go since they provide the best options and battery life, while remaining easy to use and easy to look at...

My red Inferno will never be mistaken for a cigarette, it is heavier than a cigar, but it feels great in my hand and makes great vape.
