Where to Get 1-piece E-cig?

[Fareez]

I have been using rechargeable e-cig for 6 months now, and maintaining them seems to be a pain and much of a hassle...

do you guys have any suggestion on which brand is less of a hassle to maintain?

and heard stories of a very affordable 1 piece disposable any idea where to find them?

 

[AngusATAT]

One piece? Can't say that I have ever heard of one. Hopefully someone else has more info.

 

[Hoosier]

Never heard of such a thing.

So, recharging batteries is the big part of the hassle? Why not go with a larger battery that needs charged less often?

Chucking the battery, cart, and atomizer after each use sounds too expensive for my wallet.

Volcano has 10 dollar disposables that I have never used but I hear they last a couple of days (have no idea the vape usage on that)

Have you thought of perhaps a mod?

 

[Fareez]

Im obviously still new at this... but what does mod stands for?

I'm currently using a 510 model...but the atomizer keeps breaking down, if not the battery will breakdown...

Have u ever used a disposable? if you have, how is it quality wise?

No such beast as a one-piece, sorry. Even if there were, you'd still have to refill it and charge it somehow. And if one thing broke down, you'd have to throw out the whole unit rather than just replacing that part.

Disposables are typically cig-sized, cheaply made, with tiny carts. For a moderate vapor (someone replacing a pack-a-day habit with a similar level of vaping), you'd be lucky to get a couple hours out of them. And you're stuck with whatever juice they have in the cart.

It's an extremely expensive way to vape (so expensive that it makes smoking look cheap), and probably not a very pleasurable one.

A mod is an e-cig that takes external batteries. You can get mods that take batteries that will keep going for a couple days before they need recharging. Or you can get a smaller mod that uses a battery that lasts 8 hours or so. Up to you.

And the external batteries are cheap - a few bucks, as opposed to $10 for a 510 battery.

As far as atties... are you cleaning them? I have great luck making atties last. Others don't. Unfortunately it's just "one of those things" about vaping.

A 510? I use a 510 atty with a mod. The mod takes the place of the battery. Mine is The Precious and holds a 18650 Li-Ion battery so it lasts the whole day for a heavy vapot like me. (2400 mAh compared to the standard 510's 180 mAh battery)

I've popped 6 attys in one week. When I was just beginning it was very common. Now a Joye510 LR atty is lasting me an average of 5 weeks. I am very hard on attys. I have friends and family that are still using their original attys that are many months old and going strong.

Attys are the disposable element in the 510 setup. If you take long draws, over 10 seconds, and/or run them dry, they go quickly.

So maybe a big battery mod and better regulation of your vape style would help?

I've only tried the 510 type disposables and the draw was harder and it was a 3 piece unit. So no help there. Its battery is a rechargable too.

Hello fellow Malaysian,

Disposables would probably not be worth the money in long term. Please understand that atties will not last long, regardless of model. Batteries will last longer but these are electronics and daily abuse will and can take its toll.

I order my supplies from China when i want them delivered to Malaysia. I usually buy in bulk as it is much more worthwhile. Since you have been vaping for 6 months, i gather that you are pretty much a confirmed vaper.

Thats where i get the majority of my supplies. You can also find 510 type atties there too. I also have other chinese vendors now that i use. Let me know if you need any heads up.

Maybe you could look at the KR808 models.They are very easy to use.

I'm almost ready to take the 18650/PV plunge. But for the life of me can't figure out WHY every 3.7v-6v PV user such as the Precise - Omega - Silver Bullet, etc use the tiny 510 cart or drip. If you using a long lasting battery, wouldn't you want a longer lasting juice reserve like the Mega att/cart combo? These PV's mentioned above can't take the Mega's because of there recessed thread design. An extension adapter such as the eGo battery adapter would do if it was cut shorter (for aesthetics). Don't want a Wet-box (ugly).

The only true "one piece" I know of were the Ruyan Vegas (cigar) and Ruyan Jazz (massive looking "cigarette"). I'm not sure if the Jazz is still available but there are sellers of the cigar still. There were also some other brands who made similar disposables but can't think who off the top of my head.

FWIW I agree with pretty much everyone else here that this type will be far more expensive to run in the long term. A mod and/or a passthrough will help. Atomizers are cheaper to buy in bulk. Cartomizers (available in 510 fitting) might also be worth trying.

Had a chat with my supplier today, he said that he heard rumors that some dude bringing in a one-piece model, its gonna be cheap approximately USD35 for 5 sticks, but he said in terms of puffs per stic still unknown...
im still looking into it...
but ill keep you guys updated...

thx alot for the tips, very helpful... no wonder my atomizer spoils really quickly...

For my PCC right, does it use a standard 9V battery, any idea how to change the battery D-I-Y style if battery is not working properly any more?

 

[Fareez]

I tried using Cartomizer, but taste wise is not as satisfactory, apparently because of the vaporizing mechanism design, it makes it dry up faster, and u get somewhat of a burnt metal taste... which is awfully disgusting...

Is anyone else facing the same problem is i am?

 

[Automaton]

Seem like an odd idea.

Even if they're one-piece, you still need to refill and charge them. And if something goes wrong, you lose the entire unit, rather than just one piece. Seems like it wouldn't be any less hassle, and would be much more expensive, since you have to combine all the risks of failures into one unit, which is also impossible to maintain since it's all one piece.

Not sure about how to jimmy together a make-shift charger. Although if the battery isn't working with a charger, I'm not sure why that would help. What's wrong with the battery?

 

[Hoosier]

Same boat, kinda', on cartos. They are too air-y for me and don't give me what I want in my vape.

Your PCC should have a lithium type battery either film or ion. Nothing like a 9v. Usually when a PCC isn't working right it is the contacts where the battery sits. Some rubbing alcohol and a Qtip gets it back pretty quickly. Just be careful to not leave any fibers behind and let the alcohol evaporate out completely before use.

 

[Fareez]

yeah that kindda made sense, maybe its just another one-piece disposable... but disposable doesn't save you that much pretty much breaks even with a real cigs, but you dont have to maintain it right

how much does a pack of 20 sticks cost over there, here it approximately $5...

nah i was thinking it would be cheaper if i can change the PCC battery when it runs out of recharge capacity.

 

[Fareez]

tried doing what you recommended, works like brand new now.... thx

That's the cool part of this site. Someone has probably had your problem before and either has a fix, or can compare war stories of what they went through.
