Which to choose?

[softpiano]

Hello. I'm thinking to choose between Blu, VaporNine and GreenSmoke. I'm actually thinking about Blu. Maybe somebody could advice me which is the best. I like blu, because of its pack, wchich charges cigarette when it's in there. This is the main reason why i'm thinking about it.
Actually, what i'm looking for, so is an e cigarette which would be most simillar to normal cigarette by it's feeling in throat. I don't have where to try any of these, so people with experience, help me!

If I were you I'd get a eGo kit. I bought a Blu and I thought it was terrible. Then I got a 510 and loved it but the battery life sucks on it. The eGo from what I've heard is like a 510 with a longer lasting battery. Don't be fooled by the blu pcc. You can actually find a lot of sales on eGo kits right now. As well as Rivas which are the same thing. Best thing about using them is that most e-cig stores carry parts and such for them. With the Blu your stuck to only ordering from them.

Hey, i still can't get what eGo kit are You talking about? JOYE 510 eGO kit? Or JANTY EGO electronic cigarette? Ar are they the same? Maybe You could give me a link?

 

[son et lumiere]

I'd get an ego/tonado or a 510 I have both in the classifieds for cheap. Good luck.

Same device made by the same company - Joye.... originally designed by Janty. Best sale on them for the 4th of July:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...brate-4th-w-dual-ego-kit-57-23-delivered.html

You have to use the coupon code to get that price. Suggest getting some liquid and a couple of Low Resistance atomizers too - they'd be extra but always a good idea to have extra atomizers and these will give you even more vapor.

Nicotine Nirvana - E-Liquid Hand-Made in the USA at the lowest prices & always free shipping!

Nicotine Nirvana - Joye 510 Atomizers, Batteries & Accessories. Lowest Prices & Always Free Shipping!

If that's too big a bite, get the ejuice and wait on the LR atomizers.

 

[Youthful313]

yeah they are the same. They just have different names.

[Distorted.Clarity]

you cant go wrong with the ego or tornado.
totally wicked ecigs sells the tornado. a friend has it and that thing is a beast!

 

[Jackal3]

I'm considering the eGo as a second set to use while I'm camping, but I'll miss the July 4th sale... payday is next week.

 

[the86d]

I'd start with a mod if you have the up-front money.

$60ish for a mod in the classifieds, initial batteries and a charger (2 sets of batteries) run you about $40 (less in the classifieds). Batteries can be replaced (most state 1000 charges), not like an eGo they are battery units and set you back $20 per battery (or as low as $15) and they are only good for 300 charges-ish. (Most mods can go 3.7-6volts, and I will never leave 6volts myself)

I would start with cartos, because once you don't have to drip and refill every so many puffs you will see why they are worth it. New atty every cart, and they can be refilled a few times, and you won't be ...... you lost an atty when they are <$1.75 each and they are 2 piece so you can carry MANY around. Quick flavor swaps, different nic strength for your desire and mood, etc. Don't drip and drive... hehee

A set of LiFePo4s are only like $6, @ 1000 charges!

That is just my opinion. I wish I knew then... but you probably heard that before. (I have 2 Prodigy V2s and a Chuck, I won't look back to changing batteries every few hours.)

Ok two more questions
1: Why does everybody recomend to buy an extra automizer?
2: What's the difference between auto and manual e-cig? Is it only a button, or a difference between feeling?

 

[Jonmo1]

1. Because atomizers are "consumables"...They go bad. And they are Expected to go bad. Some last a few months, some a week or so, some are DOA. You never know when one will go bad, you can't plan ahead and say, OK, this atomizer will die on such and such a date, so I should order a new one a few days before that. Your atomizer could die right in the middle of a drag.
Always better to have several on hand, and then order more when you get down to 2 or 3 left.
Nothing worse than having all this juice laying around, but no functioning Atomizer.
Same for batteries and especially Juice.
Always have MORE on hand than you actually need.

Better to have and not need, then to need and not have.

2. The only nice thing about an Auto battery is that it functions like a real cigarette by just sucking on it. A manual, you push a button to activate it. It seems like a hassle, but it's really not. It becomes second nature in less than a day really. And it gives you more control. The atomizer doesn't start producing good vapor untill it reaches a certain temperature. so with an Auto, you have to suck a few times before it get's hot. With Manual, you just hold the button for a second, and then suck on it and then you've got good vapor. Also, Auto batteries are notorious for activating by wind and noise. so they go off when you're not actually using them. This is VERY annoying.


Hope that helps..

Thank You for the very nice answer.. And the last question I wanna make sure if i understand about liquid everything correctly: if i have few cartridges in complect, and one bottle of liquid. So it means that, cartridge is filled with the liquid and when a cartridge run out of it, i refill it with the liquid to the empty cartrige right? Or am i missing something I only wanna be sure about what i think.. It's cheeper than buying new cartridges right?

 

[Jonmo1]

Yep, you got it. And yes, it's definately cheaper. Plus you have a MUCH wider variety of flavors to choose from if you buy juice seperately and refill carts.

Keep in mind, the filler material that comes in a standard cart will only last for a while.
You may want to look into other material to put in the carts. Stuff you can get locally.
Check the modders forum for cartridge mods and how to refill.
Lots of information there.

Personally, I prefer the PTB (pyramid tea bag) mod. Works great.

Thanks again for everybody, now i think that i have many information about what i need. You all people rock! Thanks for helping!

If you want it to hit like a cigarette then go with a manual either a joye510 or an eGo(everyone here says those have much longer battery life) I had a Blu, and for me it didn't deliver consistantly and made it difficult to be off analogs..It's all about personal preference because some people LOVE their Blu, and it does come with a pretty nice starter kit but a) their carts aren't really refillable, so it's a real pain to use liquid to refill them. b) other manufacturers make products you can interchange with different models whereas the blu only works with their products I'm pretty sure.

Anyways, I got my Blu for the exact reason you're thinking of going with it. And I still smoked a ton of analogs..now that I have a 510..the difference is night and day

If you haven't read this yet, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read it before you buy.

It breaks down the best ecigs for new users in easy to understand words without throwing out a lot of unrecognizable terms and model numbers. It should be every newbie's first read.

Good answers by jonmo... I'll add my 2cents. One thing on atomizers is that at some point you may go to battery mods where you get non proprietary batts but you won't find any (now or in the immediate future) non-proprietary atomizers. They're crucial so it goes you can have 'too much RAM, be 'too thin' or have too many attys ;-)

Here's an early one on manual and auto that still holds up:

You'll get what you pay for,so be weary of anything that looks real nice but has a cheap price.You've gotten all kinds of good info already.If you do go to totally wicked to look at a tornado,you should for sure check out the screwdriver MKII.I harp on and on about it,but everyone I've talked into getting one here at work quit analogs that day.One of them is going to put his on the classifieds on ecf to get rid of it.He's done all together.Not quite sure why he wouldn't want to hold on to it in case of a analog relapse,but he says he doesn't need it anymore and his wife isn't interested in it for some reason.There are all kinds of great devices out there so I know you'll find one that fits your needs.Good luck!!

 

[the86d]

One other thing about standard attys and carts. Standard atty draw from one side unless modded. So I only really got about 1/2 to 3/4 of a cart drained (without modding) before a top-off dripping on the polly filler. Cartos draw from the center of the (pseudo-?)poly, and thus you get 1/2-1/4 more before you have to top off. This was the changing point when I hit the cartomizers, and I will never look back!
