What kind of e-cig for a noob???

[BOOMH]

Okay, so I am trying to find a e-cig that best fits me.

I smoke camal menthol silvers ( more minty/stronger menthol taste then marlboro men. Lights), a pack of cigs usually last me 2-3 days.
I want a e cig that is black,or red,or silver, reliable, last me as long as possible, no led light if possible at the buttom. Indicates when battery is low, won't break, fry, etc.. easy. Interchangable, mods etc..

From my couple days of researching a little, I am considering an eGo. But not sure which one or of any other types/brands etc..

Any help will be great! Pictures, website etc..



THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

The eGo is very popular here. I use an Elite 808, simple two piece design, 7-8 hours on a charge, extra large carto's that will last all day, and it has a 3 click shut off so it doesn't fire off in your pocket. It's black, the cartos are black to match and the battery indicator on the end is 3 little blue LED lights,, when only one little LED lights, it's time to charge. Check out CigEasy and watch the videos... I don't know how complicated you want to get, for me the simpler the better and this one fits the bill beautifully, AND at a great price. Good luck!

eGo style are probably the way to go..some people don't like the size of them but if it doesn't bother you that's the best way to start out. I get all my stuff from MadVapes because of overall price,good customer service and shipping..I've been buying from them since last June...

Some people like the 808 I've read but the 510 is the connector with the most options (more stuff available for 510) and it's the standard for eGo's...

Hey Boom, another Spokanite!! Egos are good, my daughter is using my egos and loves them. I would get something with a 510 connection so that you can have a good choice of interchangeable parts (different atties, cartos, clearos, etc.) and I would get a manual battery that you have to push to vape because they are sealed so if you leak juice, it wont fry the battery. Actually, i think a Lavatube might fit your bill. It is a relatively cheap mod at Volcanoecigs.com The LAVATUBE

It looks like right now they only have the device itself and not the kit, not sure why. This is a variable voltage mod so you can go from 3 volts to 6. it comes in black, red and silver. There is no light that lights up. You can click the button 7 times to tell you where you are on your battery usage. I do charge my batteries every night so im not sure how long one would last if i didnt, but i suspect a good day and a half at least. If you are looking for something tiny, this may not be for you, its bigger than the ego but I dont have any problems with mine and i love it!

Good luck in your search!

Yes i would also say Ego . The ego -c came out late last year its a new type of atty that comes in a 5 pack .
Many have started with the ego and its my wifes only device since May 2011 with exception she now uses the c type atty's with her ego battery.

Matter of fact she still has same 3 batteries the 1100mah one's since then also she uses them in a rotation thru the charger.

An eGo won't indicate when the battery is low, but does fit the rest of your criteria. Personally, I think a good mod is the way to go since they are well made, last for years and batteries are cheap. The Elite 808, Provari, Darwin and Lavatube are the only ones I know of that indicate battery charge.

I usually can tell by the vapor production when it's getting low..anyways when I'm going to be away from a charger I try to be sure to have at least one fully charged battery. I'm surprised there are no eGo's with a charge indicator..there is no physical reason for it but it probably would cost a little more and make it bigger.

I agree that an Ego style is the way to go. I prefer the KGO, Ego-compatible with slightly higher voltage and long battery life. Throw on some Boge 510 LR cartomizers and a juice bottle and you're ready.

The ego is the way i started and im still on it. Again like others are saying the only thing missing is the battery indicator. I charge one battery every other night. I vape both through the day because I like different flavors.

I started with this kit (https://www.cignot.com/product_p/kit-ego-all.htm)
I then tried out some carto's
Now I have the ego-C kit listed here (https://www.cignot.com/product_p/egc-str-all.htm)

The original kit can be paired up with many different options.

IDK looking at pics of KGO and eGo's they look to be the same case. Below are pics of the newer style KGO (KGO-T)and eGo..as you can see they are the same switch (there are 2 buttons also plastic and metal..there are eGo's with plastic also) although I just noticed the newer LR one has only 2 "vent cuts" at the top connector instead of 4..the Smok Tech eGo's at MadVapes that is out of stock has the 4 cuts and looks the same as the KGO except it has a black button...the electronics and battery could be different depending of what is ordered I think.

Even the Joye eGo's are the same case..there appears to be 2 different ones..the older model and newer "T" style..but the parts on the outside seem to be made from the same mold's. I didn't compare the older models here because the post would be too big but the older ones are identical. The only differences I have noticed is length depending of the mah of the battery.

Wow! Thanks to all the replies and great information! I will be looking and reading more about everything that was suggested. I hope to get one soon. But before I do find one and purchase what is a good starter kit? Like for example 2 atty, 1 charger, 2 batteries, etc..

Yeah those kits are a good place to start..but cartomizers seem to be the most popular..if you get the atomizer kit a good suggestion is to order a 5 pack of cartomizers they usually run $10 for a pack or just get a cartomizer kit. Right now it might be hard because there might be temporary shortages of some things/kits because of the Chinese New Year.

 

[Sweeney Todd]

I agree, get a starter kit, cartomizers, and some sampler packs of juice.

The atomizers that come in the kit won't be a daily use, but they'll let you "drip" flavors to see if you like them before you fill a carto with them.

As I said above, with an Ego I recommend Boge 510 2.0 ohm LR cartomizers.

 

[BOOMH]

Okay thanks to the both of you!

What's is a good or decent starter kit consist of though?

 

[dotma]

I like Liberty Flights Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - Joye eGo

If you look up at the top left corner, there is a 20% off button there too. You can check out several types of ego and Riva kits there.

 

[r77r7r]

Doesn't the FIREFLY from LIBERTY FLIGHTS have a battery indicator?

 

[donnah]

I agree that an eGo kit from Liberty Flights is a great starter kit. But the eGo is 3.2 to 3.4 voltage.. the kGo kit from Hoosier is a higher voltage and looks like a good starter kit also. No matter what kit you get, pick up a pack of cartomizers.. atomizers are only for dripping or cartridges. Hoosier e-cig supply has a 5 pk of 1.7 smoktech cartos for $7

 

[donnah]

Forgot about this one! Yep.. it has a color changing led that indicates battery life. The Firefly carto deluxe is a good starter kit also. Be sure to click on the 20% off at the top left

 

[BOOMH]

thanks for the info and websites. I'll look into it some more. I want to be sure I purchase the right or a good starter kit for me.

More info, sugguestions, etc.. are welcome
