What Model Should I Buy?

[DrMorphine]

Hi, I'm brand new to e cigs. I was just surfing the web and came across an ad for blu e cigs. I hit the ad , checked out their website , and I gotta tell you these things sound really friggin cool.

I'm here to ask what model of e cig you would reccomend. I really don't know the difference between any of them , so i need some help hehe.

Thanks

510 yeti/titan/and so forth with manual switch is really popular and much better than the Blu's. Get extra carts/atomizers/usb passthrough/juices and your set. Browse around and get some more info on the different types.

Eventually you may move to a Screwdriver/Prodigy/GG/Jantystick type for better battery life.

How often do you have to buy new atomizers and batteries?

And whats the manual switch?

There have been many post on here stating that blu cigs have issues. One poster stated the battery lasted one hour and the throat hit was mild at best.

A manual switch PV is one that has a button you push that allows you to heat the atomizer longer, better vapor and better throat hit. The 510/Janty Dura-C is a popular model and well supported. It gets about 2-3 hours between batteries. The DSE901 which is a popular auto switch PV is coming out next week with a manual battery and will be available from most suppliers.

The bigger battery manual switch PV's have batteries that last 6-8 hours between charges and cost about $2 to replace. Here are some web sites:

Rather than suggesting a *single* supplier like some do...here's a list of 510 suppliers, so you can make up your own mind, in the event you decide on a 510:

Any 801 penstyle would be great too!I think they're just underrated...
Have a great day!

I was too looking at Blu a week or so ago.. but they are like backordered or something.. so if you don't want to wait I would suggest finding something else. I got a 901 from e-smokeytreats and I loveeeee it .

m401? eh? eh?

I say hands down in my humblest opinion "The Janty Stick" its small,has a built in passthrough,accepts different atomizers, offers either auto or manual switches, and sealed batteries at 70$ . Hopefully my Prodigy will arrive by Saturday so i will have a new favorite. I say spare the newbies the 501,510,801, and 901 headaches.

For someone just starting out, I really think the 901 is a good choice. It's not the *best* e-cig in the world, but it's simple, readily available from many suppliers so you can shop around, and reliable. It's also roughly the same size and shape as a regular cigarette, something that's often important to people just starting out. It's easier to refill than some other models I've tried, and once you get into using juice (and you probably will!) it's easy to drip on the atomizer.

I have 3 different models now after a month of vaping, and I still return to my 901 when I just want a consistent smoke.

Just make sure you stock up on spare parts.

Good luck!

I have 2 right now but would like either a screwdriver or janty stick for my "daily driver". HA...maybe I should get a screwdriver just so I can call it that. Aaanyway, it seems that everyone who owns these are partial but I'd like to hear from someone who has both what they think.

The BEST e-cig for a new vaper is one that's inexpensive, reliable, has spare parts/carts/etc...readily available and is well reviewed and common.

That's my opinion.

I agree - I'd say go for a 901. If you want a "mod style" device later, you'll have lots of 901 atomisers to use with it as well!

Simpler is better. Go with a non-manual 901 or 801. The parts are plentiful, as are the starter kits. Learn how to use it, what the pros and cons are, and move on to a more complicated device -- or not. There are plenty of folks for whom the old standbys are satisfactory.
