I am fully enjoying my vaping experience with one exception. I currently have a black 901, it was my entrance into the e-smoking world about 3 months ago and it has served me well. The most important thing that I do not enjoy about it is the flat-tipped mouthpiece on the 901. I am considering going to another e-cig that will have a round mouthpiece. I feel that a round shape will emulate "smoking" better for me. Now, now boys...no wise cracks about how you'll let me suck on your round thing please... :evil:

For the most part, I enjoy the 901 - it's a real workhorse, reliable and easy to maintain. I don't like the flat tip, and that it's so long and off balance the way the battery end is so heavy. I think I'd really enjoy something shorter (more cigarette sized) and with a circular mouth piece. I know I will give up battery life and cartridge capacity with a smaller e-cig, but that's okay with me. I'm willing to sacrifice those two things in order to have a more realistic smoking experience. I'd like it to look more like a cigarette too. White where the paper would be, orange/tan where the filter would be. Obviously, based on what I like, models like the SD are clearly a poor idea for me at this juncture. And the pink 901 is cute as a novelty, but a foofy pink e-cig just isn't for me.

Based on what I am looking for, what models (from what suppliers) would you recommend? I'd prefer to order from within the States, and of course lately everything seems out of stock everywhere.

I'm looking forward to hearing some recommendations from more experienced vapers! Thanks guys! :)

It seems to me that i have seen round cartridges for the 901... but I think they are available only in brown. You may want to try those first before investing in something new and finding out you may not like it.

I have the njoy Ncig pen style and I have the Npro analog style. I really prefer the penstyle because of the flat tipped mouthpiece, the hard round mouthpiece of the Npro hurts my lips because it doesn't kind of squish down like the old analogs and I felt I wasn't getting a good enough seal to take a drag so I was working harder. With the flat tipped style I don't have that problem.

Okay, there was my 2 cents...

Thanks, RatPack - I PM'ed him this past week but haven't heard back from him yet. I'll try emailing him off of his site. Good idea! :)
I also love my EVO. As far as I'm concerned it's the best out there. I do order from the U.K. site but shipping does take awhile.
The second best e-cigarette I've had is the Vapor King from Vape4life. It has a disposable atomizer/cartridge but I am refilling mine. Right now their website isn't up but you can still order thru Paypal and make the payments to bichonf@aol.com. Vapor King - our flagship product for all disposable atomizer/ cartridge (LoongTotem v9 style) lovers! Disposable atomizer and cart means no dripping, no topping off, no liquids, no hassle. You get a fresh new atomizer with every cart!

Starter kit comes with 2 full sized batteries which last anywhere from 5 to 12 hours each, depending upon how heavily it is used, 5 hours being almost constant use, 12 hours being about 15 puffs (1 analog) per hour. Battery colors are available in silver, black, or 1 silver and 1 black (white coming soon as well).

Kit also includes USB charger, AC charger with USB connector and 7 cartridges. Additional cartridges $12.50 per 5 pack.

Oh, Mama WANT an EVO *SOOOOOO BAD*!!!!

Cannot find one in stock in the US from a reputable supplier to save my life. It's all I can do to resist ordering from Intellicig's UK site.

I think you just sealed the deal for me - must. have. EVO!

Yep, the only supplier with stock was intellicigUSA but those prices are outrageous IMO so I just have to deal with the shipping from UK. :\ But oh well, I'm sure it's well worth it.

Have you considered the Pee Wee (at Puresmoker) or the Super (at Totally Wicked)? They are the same thing BTW...

I have it and love it! I have a titan knock-off or clone but also have a "real" one on the way so I can't really vouch for it either way until I find out if the clone I have is the real deal...

However, the pee wee/super is great!

I'm with Rita. These are the closest size to a real cigarette that you can get, and my only complaint about it is that you go through the cartridges really fast, as kender said about the Npro. However it produces a lot of vapor for it's size though after the atomoizer is worn in. The best way to go with this model if you're just sitting around is to drip. You get massive vapor and a throat hit and don't have to worry about refilling carts.

The Liberation Jr. at smokeliberation.com is an RN4081 as well. Smoking Everywhere Gold is also one of these, and would be the best choice out of all the RN4081 brands in my opinion - but if you can get it for under $100 (It's normally $150). I'm reccomending this one only because there is a 1 year warranty, so whenever an atomizer burns out or a battery goes dead, you get a replacement part for free. And they on't need a reciept so you could really have this warranty for as long as they sell it. I got mine on Ebay for $75 I think, although ebay has banned themi, and ebid.net only has one for some reason. It's $90 but you get the SE carrying case for free, and that normally goes for $20. The guy I bought mine from had his own website too, I'll search through my emails and se if I can get a link.

If you want to go a littler bigger, the EVO or the Pilot are great choices from what I've seen.

If you can get past the looks the pilot hybrid with the shorter battery is really light, i can hold it between my lips like an analog. If you look up my other posts you will see I went backwards, I bought a 901 first and like it and and 801 the best, I have a screwdriver and love it, but yes its shape is a little funky. Good luck!
