What would you recommend?

[Marine_Sniper]

I started with Blu, not bad for the first ever, then soon moved on to the Revolver Ion. It was OK but it seemed the battery life was not what it should be. Unfortunately, I went back to analogs but I still wanting to find a good alternative. I am not looking for all the mods, just something out of the box for the most part that is effective and reliable. I have read many reviews and it seems depending on the site, will determine the review. The top three I have come across regardless of site is South Beach, V2 Cigs, and Green Smoke. From your experience, what would you suggest? Even if it isn't one of those is there better? Thanks for any and all input!!

I just ordered another 1000 mah steel Riva 510 lite bundle. $30 plus shipping. You'll also need some juice. Don't forget to click the 20% off box at the top left of the page. http://www.liberty-flights.com/product.asp?id=55
Welcome to ECF and good luck.

God bless all the troops - especially the snipers.

I haven't tried many HALF of what's out there. But, I am in love with my Lavatube. I have the extended batteries, so they last quite a bit longer than the traditional e-cigs that I used. Again! I have not tried many devices. And I do get funny looks when I use it in public. I don't know how it compares, but that's my 2 cents.

None you listed. I would look at the kGo kits, hoosiersupply.com has a nice one. Get some cartomizers, say 1.7-2.5 ohms and fill with your choice of smoke juice. Enjoy!
Btw, the ones you listed have smaller batteries and cost more for their specific products. This way is more economical and low maintenance.

Welcome Marine_Sniper, I've only purchased 1 PV. I'm a little biased.
If you haven't already, and have some time, check out this thread.....

And congrats on getting back to e-cigs.

Cheers Hitme

Thanks for the input and the shout out to the Military base234. It is always nice hear positive thoughts of the men and women protecting this country... That is where I find this to be troubling LeDean, there are so many out there it makes it difficult to sort out the B.S.

If you're going to stick with the small, cigarette style e-cigs, I would recommend the Volt from Smokeless Image. Smokeless Image | Only The Best Electronic Cigarette | Volt - Standard Starter Kit - Starter Kits. It is what I have been using for 2 weeks now. I have no complaints, and I like it. A lot of people recommended it, they actually have quite a following here, their cartomizers get good reviews and arent' super expensive, the flavors of cartridges were pretty meh, but get some blank ones and buy some liquids from some other sites.

Now, this is if you HAVE TO stick with the small, cigarette style ones. If your more open, I would listen to ckone180 and pick up a kGo kit. It isn't that much bigger and people really seem to love it. Good luck out there!

I wouldn't recommend any of the ones you listed. They are all mini's similar to what you already tried.

Here are three of the best beginner models and all three have better batteries than the much over-hyped eGo. They are in the same category and size as the ego and will provide you around 5 - 6 hours on a charge: E-Power 510, Kgo and Riva:

Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - EGO E-Power

KGO kit 1100mAh by SLB

Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - Riva 510

The Volt is probably the best of the mini's but the battery life sucks!!

Yeah, there is a variety, but it's good to have those options. I was reading about the original electronic cigarette models.....terrible. LoL

 

[Stosh]

wv2win listed some very good options, any of which provide a good vape.

One + for the volt, is they are small enough to fit in your sock top, and still vape decent,
we don't want to get you gigged on inspection...

 

[Retriever]

Smokelessimage carries the Volt, and Vapor 4 Life has some good kits as well. They are both a little larger than a traditional cig, and you would have to swap out batteries every few hours. But many people have had good luck with them if you are looking for an alternative that is similar to the size of a real cig. If you want battery life and want to carry a fair amount of juice with you, a REO would be a good choice. They should have some in stock soon I think.

dm1 kr-808.nice price.a lil fruity looking but great bang for the buck

 

[spaceballsrules]

I'll put in my votes for either the Volt kits from SmokelessImage or the Riva 510 or 901 from Liberty Flights. (The 901 threads fit most KR808D-1 cartos)

The three links are what I am seriously concidering. Of the three, is one better than the other? Or are they all the same with different names? Thanks again for all the input...

 

[Stosh]

All 3 links are good quality 3.7v batteries, slightly different shapes, styles. Like the difference
between car batteries for a Ford, Chevy and Dodge......

 

[base234]

Yep, all three are fine. I'm just partial to the Riva since I started with one and always have had one around. Very simple to use and I have wall chargers and USB chargers that came with the kits as well as a car charger.

 

[meds081603]

Bloog. 2 batteries, usb charger, couple packs of carts. Very cheap and sounds perfect for ya!

 

[Marine_Sniper]

ok, I think I am going to give the KGo a try. But I do have one more question, regarding the the carts. What is the difference in the ohm's? what is the benifit or drawback between 1.7, 2.0, or 3.0.

 

[ckone180]

KGO all the way!!!

 

[bp400]

The 3.0 ohm is a bad choice for that device but the other two are fine. With the 3 ohm you will have to take really long drags to be satisfied and will still lack throat hit. 2 ohm will be a good vape. 1.7 will be good too and a little hotter. Someone else will explain why. Excellent choice btw. I feel bad for people who choose ego still
