I have my last pack of analogs but the good thing is that I'm not going to smoke it (no joke)

Here's the deal, I'm looking to spend less then $100 I only smoke menthol..

What do I get?!! by the way I do want it to last for sometime I don't wanna keep having to order all the time... (my 1st e-cig was a greennicotine.com this was last year)


Thank you..

Most reccommended first step up ecigs for price, durability, compatability and ease of use:

Ego- Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - Joye eGo
Riva- Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - Riva 510

(click the discount code banner on the top for 20% off)

Superking size ecig:

Volt- Smokeless Image | Only The Best Electronic Cigarette | Starter Kits

Use code heatwave for 23% off.

Greennicotine is a cartomiser based unit by the look of it. Either use the volt with 808 cartos or get an ego or riva which will last you 10 times longer than even the volt in battery life and use 510 cartos.

You have so many more options with an ego or riva later down the line. Many would reccommend the same units but the choise is yours.

Edit** COUGH those greennicotine cigs are overpriced for their size, very very overpriced, I just had a look. You're in the right place now for good advice so you don't pay this much for ecigs and ecig gear again.

Not to be funny but if you have that sort of $ to throw around you might want to wait up for some veterans to reccommend you some higher priced mods that will blow the greennicotine out of the water so hard it'll be in oz sometime next week.

I thought my Riva 510 was a perfect starter kit and would highly recommend it. For juice I don't like Menthol so you will probably have to do some research google Menthol e liquid and read reviews. Search here and do the same. Once you find a couple vendors order a couple small bottles to test. Once you find one you like get a larger bottle. The atomizers that come with the kit will last a couple weeks or more or you can order some cartomizers. Again searching the board and google can give you advice however which is best is always up for debate as they both have their strengths and weaknesses.

Hope this helps.

Thank you both, man this is a headache!

Cartomizers verses atomizers what will last longer?

I am so lost!

is there a way where I can just e juice and refill so I don't have to buy cartomizers or atomizers because I just went looking and a pack of atomizers isn't cheap same goes for cartomizers I can buy two packs for analogs! I'm not a really big smoker I just wanna save money in the long run not waste..

thanks!!

Tank systems in my opinion best... i had a headache buying new tips for my first ecig all the time. i heard great things about the Ego-T with a LR (low resistance) atty. the T stands for Tank (i think). all u have to do is fill it up and plug it in, very easy.

i looked around for a long time when i decided to give e-cigs another shot, cuz the first one was a failure. i ended up getting a silver bullet from altsmoke.com and a liquinator from vaporescence.com. cuz the silverbullet uses a real battery, so you can buy a couple batteries and keep them rotating on a charger, and these batteries also last a LONG time so u will definitly go all day on just one. the tank system is great because u never have to refill during the day, infact my 5.5ml liquinator lasts for days on end, if u have a select flavor of e juice, u can fill it to the top and not worry bout it for a long long time.

but i have to say, the ego-t looks sleeker and is a bit smaller. if your device is a 3.7 volts device i highly reccomend you use a LR (low resistance) atty. 2.0ohm is very nice with my silver bullet, i get as much vapor from my 2.0ohm liquinator on silverbullet as i get on my 2.4ohm MAP tank on my 5v passthrough

    Atomizers will last longer. But cartridges are a pain. You may like dripping. You would need a drip tip for your atomizer. Drip 3 drops at a time, then repeat when the flavor starts to change.

    You might still like cartomizers, though. You can refill them a few times before they start to taste bad.

    I'm not a really big smoker

    Atomisers definately last longer but are somewhat less portable than other options.

    The egoT (tank) is an atomiser with a larger capacity for liquid without filling and could work for you as a more casual smoker.

    How many cigs a day are we talking here? The volt could be the way to go if you're just after a cig looking thing you don't need to use too often if you're ok to use cartomisers (volt cartos I think are one of the best and cheap).

    However if you want an atomiser type unit, a joye 510 will be about the same size and you can use a 510 tank atomiser or a normal atomiser. I would probably reccommend a 510T atomiser kit based off your needs when I wouldn't normally. An Ego kit could be too big for you. Just depends on how many you go through a day or not.

    With the ego or riva you have the choice: you can use cartos or atomisers so it's the cheapest thing to buy once you have the kit, just an atomiser or pack of reuseable cartomisers every now and then and some eliquid to put in them. Couldn't be easier or cheaper if you want something that'll last a while with low maintenance.

    The joye 510 is simply a smaller version of the ego or riva. You have a choice stil: atomisers or cartomisers or a tank system. So if you want smaller size and don't mind a smaller battery life it could be for you. Very cheap.

    I'm sure the american guys could point you in the right direction for vendors. I'm sure you could get a single 510 atomiser from somewhere really cheap. They can last a few months with heavy use where cartos are a few weeks.

    For the battery itself, it can last 2 years, maybe longer even. If you get the ego battery you'll need the ego t atomiser. I think a 510T atomiser will fit it too but they're essentially the same except the ego t atomiser will look better and hold more liquid in it.

    I still have, after 6 months, my first two original ego 650mAh batteries and 1 of the 2 original egoT atomisers (I broke the other one myself by accident pushing the parts on it trying to take it apart doh).

    Using it less frenquently that I do, and I used mine a LOT then you shouldn't need to replace anything for 3 months as a minimum if nothing goes wrong with it which can happen sometimes but likely shouldn't.

    I haven't used the 510T myself but I heard it's a quite good tank atomiser, comparable to the egoT, just smaller. So I'd expect a few months out of it really.

    Shop around for a single 510 atomier or ego atomiser to add to your egoT kit if you get one. It shouldnt cost a lot and you'll find it's a really different experience between atomisers and tank atomiers.

    No matter what happens, if you have a set of ego batteries it's going to be reasonably cheap just to get a new atomiser/tank part for it a few months down the line. Atomiers tend to be pretty robust. I have my original atomiser I started with when I first got into vaping 8 months ago or more and it still works perfectly well... I just don't use them much anymore lol

    I'm in agreement with aj up there too, the LR (low resistance) egoT atomiers seem to work a lot better than normal resistance egoT atomisers. Wouldn't hurt to add a single one to your order.

    Use the discount code for 20% off that too if you click the banner for the code on libertyflights, or is that the discounted price?

    For sure, atomisers tend to be really robust. A lot of vendors have a warranty period for them because they're expected not to break that quickly.

    I think you'd do alright with the egoT system. Even if the tank atomisers aren't for you, you have awesome batteries that can house a ton of stuff so just come back and ask again for help with your tanks or what else you can try. I hope you'll be happier than with the greennicotine stuff with these. Cheaper and should last much longer. Good luck my man with your ventures!

    Haha sorry, eliquid for the usa is out of my league but I'm sure others will tell about the awesome juice vendors there. Jealous!
