Volcano Magma V.S. Blue Cig

[Ez Wider~Z]

Ive been doing a little research on what brand i would prefer to pick and im kind of stuck between too. Volcano seems to be a top brand ive noticed they make really good vaporizers in general.. But i dont know much about their e-cigs or either company in general. If someone who knows some information in comparison to the two about battery life, flavors, durability,design, etc.. Also another random quick question can you use any juice or cart from basically any website or are they specifically percise design to their brand/model? Thank you once again..

Volcano is still a Joye 510, with the vendors name put on it
Volcano Fine Electronic Cigarette...home of the best eCig


They are a good co base in HI. They also charge a state tax no matter where you live.

lol i feel a stupid a little bit haha thanks for the information definatly useful.. I figured sense they are very popular for making real vaporizers they probably made good e-cigs.. I guess its just a design and brand name on it basically, Thanks again..

Save yourself a ton of frustration and avoid the Blu e-cig. I had their starter kit and continued to pay their high prices for refills for about a year, it was a terrible investment. I continued to smoke with it, as it had a very weak battery and was expensive to maintain(buying replacement batts, atty's, and juice from Blu). I wish I did more research and found the Riva510 and cartomizers earlier. The Blu is great for marketing to people who are completely new to the concept of e-cigs, and that's how they get you to buy their overpriced, lacking devices. If you really want a a plain 510 kit, I'd go with the volcano, but you might find yourself wanting a better performing device in the future.

Thanks for info on the blu cig i have heard mostly bad things about it from basically everyone including you so Im gonna forget about getting that. And yeah im determined to give the e-cig a shot but i figured i might as well get one for more public use at first basically just as an actual "starter" (noob) kit.. I will probably end up investing in a better model/brand to mod but im still new wanna get more advanced first.. once again thanks..

The Blu and the Volcano from Volcano are both L88 models.
The Magma from Volcano, on the other hand, is a 510 model and most feel it is far superior.

And yes, Volcano is a very solid company.

sounds good, I was also wondering if it matters where you buy your e-juice or cartridges? I heard theirs a lot of different sites with variety of different flavors im not sure if one fits all or if its more percise to fit only for specific model? i would like to buy and try other juices and cartridges from other sites than just one..

Any juice will work in any cartridge/cartomizer, it's just a matter of learning how to refill them.

Go for the magma, because it's a 510 device that should fit with 510 cartomizers and accessories. You'll be getting about 3 to 4 hours of battery life with it if you're a moderate vaper. Just my opinion, but once you go with cartomizers, it's hard to go back to atomizers. Better flavor, more value in the long run.

Joye 510 aka Magma MANUAL would be good

BTW - Volcano doesn't "make" anything. All slim ecigs and all of their fat battery version are made in China. Volcano is a rebrander. They have said they use Joye 510 and Ego. It is just their name on it.

Joye 510 manual batteries are totally sealed on the threaded end. SO you can drip with a drip tip or refill cartomizers without endangering your battery if a little bit of juice leaks. Also manuals won't accidentally turn on from wind or vibration. And manual give you better control of your hit.

I recommend dripping and Boge standard resistance cartomizers as things to try on a 510 manual.

Re Blu - if you want a weaker ecig with small prefilled cartos, you could get it then probably get something else in a few weeks.

Re small ecigs in general (both standard 510 and Blu) - if you need one battery to last more than 2 hours, then don't get a small ecig. But I am almost always near charging power, and when I am not I carry a charged PCC (a very nice roomy 510 one from NoSmokeVA) and I even carry a charged Riva 510 battery (750mah vs 510's 180mah) so I won't run out of power even if my schedule unexpectedly changes.
