My aunt's complaint about e-cigs is that she has to take her hands off her work and press a button. I am assuming she wants one she can hang out of her mouth and drag as she wants. The only thing I can come up with are things like the rechargable njoy, which I have, but the cartomizers? for that are expensive. That's another one of her complaints. What can I buy her that she can vape on without having to press a button and has refillable cartomizers? I have searched for 810's but I am not sure that is exactly the right thing. I want to get her a battery with the highest mah that I can find. Any suggestions?

I am not sure if this belongs in this forum so feel free to move it to where it belongs. Thanks.

Joyetech eRoll, maybe? Not the greatest battery life in terms of mAh, but it looks like what you might want. I can't tell if the eCom is automatic or manual, but it has a much better battery (as well as being vv/vw), but it has a proprietary thread so you wouldn't be able to use it with anything else. The Joyetech 510-T has an automatic battery too.

I am on the 1.5 year search for one as well that I can hang from my mouth. Man I miss that. Unfortunately all I have been able to find are the disposables. All the other types are too heavy that I have tried. Basically have to grip it with your teeth. Have dropped a few in the pool while cleaning it.


White Cloud then Njoy are my favorites for that type of thing. Njoy has a better feel. White Cloud better flavors.

You are talking about an "automatic" vs a "manual" battery. A manual battery you have to press the button to get it to fire. An automatic the battery will fire when you draw (make a sucking action). Most of the automatic's are disposable or cig-a-likes. Although you may find some ego automatic ones although not as popular.

Not recomending this one because never used and looks over priced but it was first on google for "automatic ecig" Dial-A-Volt Automatic Battery Electronic Cigarette | Vapor4Life E-Cigarette $50

This ECF thread may also help http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/requests-opinions-reviews/71483-automatic-ego-batteries.html

Smokeless Image Volts are cigarette-size 808-threaded which you can get either automatic or manual. Electronic Cigarettes | Smokeless E-Cigs | Smokeless Image Available in 65mm and 78mm length.

They have pre-filled cartridges with a limited selection of flavors. They also sell blank cartos that you can add your own e-liquid from bottles. Two lines of e-liquid carriers on site.

Reputable company that's highly recommended if you choose to go with a cigalike.

V2, the products I use daily, has auto batts. I only use manual, but started off using auto batts. V2 comes with lifetime replacement warranty. Batts there come in 3 different sizes, and I'd think the shortest ones would be ideal for hanging from your mouth. I wouldn't know exactly as I've only used the longest batt that they sell. But if what I'm saying here appeals to OP (or anyone), feel free to PM me as I'm sure I can find out from other V2 users what their experience has been with shorty autos.

Just double checked price at V2 on shorty batts and they are $15.

i started off on v2 back when i first began.
i ended up preferring Bloog and i just checked their site (which was a nice blast from the past lol). $3.99 for an auto 808!

I've tried Bloog and liked using their batts. I just stick with V2 cause of lifetime warranty and cause they work very well for me.

Anyone looking will easily find better price than what V2 offers, but when considering warranty, then the value comparison changes, I think. I've had no issues exercising replacement warranty, and haven't really had to replace all that many, like 6 in 2 years.

I don't think you will find anything light enough that you can just hold in your mouth and drag on at will. That used to be my style of smoking. When I went to the auto ecig, just too darn heavy!

Didn't catch that part of the OP's post...yeah automatic ego you're not going to be able to do that with. Small cig-a-like is your best bet. I only own the eblu and you'd have to use teeth to do that. The other one I've tried that might work is the fling from white cloud (Buy Electronic Cigarettes | Disposable & Rechargeable | White Cloud) They have a somewhat soft tip for teeth and are the smaller version that you could probably hold in lips. Bit expensive and battery doesn't last as long as I would expect but hey it's an option.

Disposable's are going to be lighter in general but going to cost you more in the long run. The cig-a-likes allow you to refill and buy prefilled cartridges and are going to weigh more but probably cheaper in the long run.

I think part of the issue you might be running into is current battery technology. They just don't make a super light weight rechargeable/nonrechargeable and long lasting battery yet. So you might be in a catch 22 and just need to have her pick what's more important cost, light weight, battery length, recharable/disposable, refillable etc. Probably not the answer you were looking for.

My friend also has a V2 from Electronic Cigarette Starter Kits at V2 Cigs which may work for you although still a little heavy without biting. He got that because it has 2 extensions E-Cig Universal Adapters | V2 Cigs so that you can fit pretty much any proprietary prefilled cartridge.

For example only blu cartridges will fit my blu cig...so I'm stuck buying from them. I think the V2 has a pretty standard connection but if you want to try other propietary vendors the have an adapter that should allow you to do that. Benefit is your not locked in with one company.
