I've just tried a disposable E cig just to try it out since I'm new to the electronic cigarettes.

It promised me 375+ puffs but the battery died around 80 puffs.
I still have 3 cartridges to go but the silly battery died and it is to be disposed haha.

*What I am looking for is a very good throat hit.
*Good amount of vapor coming out
*Good battery life

Please tell me where and what stuff I need to buy so I won't have to worry about a bad purchase.

I tried four different brands of ecigs and blew a bunch of money and none of them worked right for me. I did some research and VaporKing from Vapor4Life had so many positive reviews I decided to try one more time. The product is great (strong throat hit, lots of vapor) and the customer service is amazing. Just check out the unique warranty and talk to some of the other people who use it to see if you think it might be right for you.

Good luck!

I wish when I started, someone had given me the advice, I am about to give you. Would have saved much money and aggravation. I got many E-Cigs but here are my top 4.
The Titan 510 (many 510's on the market) Thin, the size of a pen, very good vapor, throat hit for this category. With a Pass Through on 5.0 v is fantastic, battery stinks last 1 - 2 hours. Price very reasonable 76 USD with PCC. Complete and ready to go.
( Next 2, takes same batteries and can adapt to 510, 801 and 901)
The Silver Bullet Mod. Very beautufull, runs 3.7 and 6.0 v. 3.7 too weak for me, 6.0 too strong for me, long waiting list to get. Very shiny, gets marked up easy with finger prints and scratches. Great deal for the money, 114 for main case only, have to buy everything else to get started.
The GLV 5.0 V. Heard by many that 5.0 is the perfect vape. Makes sense to me since 3.7 too weak for me and 6.0 too strong for me. Many have said the 5.0 is the Perfect Sweet Spot of Vaping. From experience with my Titan 510 with Pass Through at 5.0 V would tend to agree. Haven't actually got it yet but love my 510 when using with 5.0. Long waiting time to receive. Cost 128 USD. Ready to go.
The GG Transformer, my best and favorite. Also a Mod, runs 3.7 and 6.0 v. Again 3.7 to weak for me, 6.0 too strong for me. Better vapor and throat hit than Silver Bullet. Cost much more also, 170 USD, even longer wait, but well worth it. Has accessory ASF that lets you vape all day without refilling, only E-Cig that does that.

Would like to add, this is stricktly my subjective opinion. I am not affiliated in any way with any E-Cig company.
Also the Silver Bullet has wires and soldering which does something to resistance. The GG has no wires or soldering so has no affect on resistance. Am not an electrician, but have been told that because of the resistance factor, the GG is better than the Silver Bullet. I like the GG better but it also costs more. The Silver Bullet is american made and an excellent value for the price. The GG is hand made.

I've tried 2 models the 510 (Titan) & M401/M401 (EVO, Pilot, EM4 & a generic from Central Trade)

The 510 was ok. The size is a bit larger than a cigarette (width) & a lot longer. The throat hit was good (initially but the atties soon loose power). Battery life was poor the regular batteries lasted me around 1 - 1.5 hours, even the TW Mega Titan battery only lasted 3 hours tops. The carts, although quite big dry out very quickly (it is a thirsty beast) & don't wick very well. Often when taking off a seemingly empty cart, I actually found it was only half used & a lot of liquid had settled at the mouthpiece end of the cart & had no intention of going anywhere near the atty. Flavour, as it burns fairly hot, a fair bit of the flavour is lost.

Also the build quality was poor (the atties look thrown together & the overall appearance was cheap) Aesthetically the proportions of the mouthpiece atty & battery looks all wrong.


My M401s & M402s on the other hand tick all the boxes.

Size wise they are a little longer than a cigarette, but the same width. They give a decent throat hit & the atties are pretty consistant until they give up. The carts although smaller than the Titan last longer (they just don't need as much juice to produce similar (if not quite as much) vapour, they still produce more vapour than a cigarette does smoke). Battery life is superior to the Titan the smaller M402 often lasting 2 - 3 hours & the M401 averaging somewhere between 3 & 5 hours depending on how heavily I vape. On the build quality they are all superior to that of the Titan, although the generics do look a little cheaper. Flavour wise, it burns cooler than the 510 & as a consequence, there is a lot more flavour evident.

Looks in general, the bog standard brown & white cigarette clone coloured ones do indeed (until you look closer) look like a regular cigarette. The black & silver options I have in M402 (black EVO) & M401 (EM4 & Pilot) look very classy, but the icing on the cake is the new silver EVO (M402) the sexiest e-cig I have ever seen (if they ever bring out a matching mouthpiece to the battery & atty, I'll be in love). From an aesthetic point of view the proportions are perfect, the mouthpiece is the same as a cigarette filter. As a consequence regardless of what colour combination you use the proportions look just right.

Unless you are thinking of going for a big battery model, I'd say the M40 series is the perfect e-cig (especially now there are manuals available (the only reason I held onto my Titans for so long was their manual batteries)).

M401/2 all the way.

I'm new here too i received my EVO black (402) yesterday and have to say it's worked a treat for me my only gripe is battery life i'm getting about 2 1/2 hours almost constant vaping (which i guess is pretty good really) just need 2 more batteries to get me through the day:D bear in mind this is the only one i've tried but my criteria was similar to yours and it's ticked all the boxes for me smoking wise i can't believe it's not a real cigarette good throat hit and just the right amount of vapour i've ordered a 510 to try too which should be here tomorrow but up to now it's going to be a tough task to beat this

If your only gripe with the 402 is the battery life, you should've saved your money on the Titan.

I average 2 - 2.5 hours from my M402s, my standard Titans only ever made 1.5 hours tops. Even the Titan Mega battery only made ever made 3 hours (which I often exceed with my 401s).

The Titan also won't give you as much flavour as your EVO. You will however get a good throat hit while the atties are at their peak (around a month or so) & marginally more vapour (again while the atties are at their peak) I have given all my Titan kit away.

I know just wanted a pcc and manual batteries to get me through the day at work (construction lots of power tools)or a night in a club with loud music. If intellicig release these for my EVO i'll buy them (hint hint hint :D) besides the zenith looked so shiny :oops:

I have heard a rumour (don't know how good it is though) that Intellicig may be working on a PCC for the EVO.

There is a PCC for the 40x series from Eastmall, but it's not what anyone was expecting. However, it is only $10. $22, if you buy it as part of a starter kit.

I'm not absolutely sure, but I think there's a minimum purchase amount and a $15 shipping fee. It would have to be a group buy to make it worthwhile.
