Which e-cig

[Dexter87]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this vaping business. I have been looking at which e-cig to buy, and after looking at a few reviews on youtube, I think Totally Wicked look like they offer good, solid, well built products. I think I've narrowwed it down to either the Tornado eGo-C or Tornado tank. What are the pros and cons of each model? The main things I'm looking for are a strong hit on the back of my throat when I take a drag, lots of vapor and no leaking.
Cheers

Dex

Hello & welcome Dexter

For no leaking you would be best to go for cartomisers IMHO. A Riva is very similar to a Tornado (TW Tornado's are just rebranded ego's). A ggod price for a Riva from a very good UK seller (use discount code ECF10 for 10% off) is vape escape. ask at check pout for the atties & carts to be replaced with cartomisers (I believe you will get 10 crtos by doing so) -

The Riva 1100 Deluxe Kit £34.95 - Deluxe Vaping Kits - Riva 1100 Kit Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid

You will need some e-liquid as well & the above sellers Grizwald juices are excellent. But here is a list of other good UK sellers you can check out -

Hello and welcome to the ecf forum.

a strong hit on the back of my throat

You must be partial to igetcha69's reviews

I wanted to say welcome to the ECF, and happy vapes!

Is this your very first setup? How much do you smoke on the average?

Anyway, I know I'm going to get jumped on by a lot of people here for saying this, but if you're looking for good throat hit and a no leaking, ever, then those two should not be your top choices...

I agree that, if after doing your research, you are opting for something like that, then an Ego-style is indeed one of the best possible options. However, the atty-tank system, while very satisfying for many, it is a pain in the behind for just as many, and my humble opinion is that it's a risky first try at vaping.

I'd go with an Ego-style - look into something like KGO and E-Power for a better throat hit and performance. And I'd get a couple of boxes of low resistance (2.0 Ohm) cartomizers. A cartomizer is probably the best compromise between ease of use and satisfying vape, and the Boge 2.0 Ohm ones are probably the most popular cartos out there for a reason. They are consistent and reliable.

If you know throat hit is extremely important for you (have you ever vaped at all, on anything?) then you might want to take a deep breath and read around about higher voltage / variable voltage vaping. But if you don't really know, then I think a true 3.7V with a low resistance carto is the way to go for starters.

Take a look at the stickies around, and feel free to ask whatever you want. Others will come with other opinions, and some of them will probably make a lot of sense as well. Expect to need a little patience, and keep asking if there is anything that you don't really grasp - it can become really confusing really fast in the beginning.

ETA: if you get any Ego-style, including KGO or E-Power, you can then chose to try tank-atty at any time afterwards, either the "C" or any other.

Welcome to ECF!
Sounds like you are getting good advice right off the bat, any of the Ego type systems allows a lot of flexability.
Good luck to you!

Seeing that you are in the UK, I'd suggest looking at Liberty-Flights.

I started with the Ego C but found that the leaking tanks were a mighty pain in the ..... I've since gone with a solidly built Lava tube VV mod. (knight Rider) here in Canada. That with a Smoktech 4ml Tank V2 Dual Coil Cartomizer, pic here so you can see what that heck that is. Smoktech 4ml Tank V2 Dual Coil Cartomizer Clear With Drip Tip $7.95 I've found this set up to be perfect for me anyway.
