Who makes a CONSISTENT ecig?

[nanovapr]

Stick with it, woody1. Sometimes the most consistent delivery method DOES resemble a big cig box with a pipe coming out of it! There are plenty that do not. The more a PV device looks like a cigarette, in general the poorer it's performance.

Once you find a device that works for you, and find a juice that works for you, it doesn't matter what it looks like, if you quit smoking!

Consistency has been becoming much more important to me too. Boge cartos have always been consistent for me, but have consistently tasted like cardboard. Maybe it's because I started dripping (SR510 on an ego) the second day I started vaping, but I've always wondered if votes for Boge was an inside joke when Kanger horizontal coil and IKV cartos taste so much better. Are they better with a tank? Currently I'm interested in finder the strongest (for tobacco flavors), most consistent flavor in an atomizer, carto, or tank. Next on my list to try is dripping with the LR901. But what are everyone's recommendations and best experiences?

The best in consistency in model is the power regulated, variable wattage Darwin. Because it uses "boost circuit" technology, there is no drop off in performance due to battery drain. The last puff before the battery dies is just as good as the first one off the charger. The ultimate in consistency. And the battery lasts 21+ hours on a charge under heavy vaping conditions.

I use mega dual coil cartomizers and BE112 (low bridge 801) atomizers.

My daughter bought a bb made by altsmoke she loves it with a tank from vaporesence. Really nice set up and she is a new vaper also.

IMO Consistent is a manual with a decent size battery and a cartomizer.

The smallest batteries have short voltage plateaus then drop in power too soon because their charge is short. you get a short period of good voltage. A longer or fatter battery has a much longer stretch of good voltage.

A manual let you get the best hit possible every time.

Cartomizers make your ecig like it's brand new every time you start a fresh one and in general provide a more consistent vaping experience.

I agree that the bigger the battery the better due to the battery drain problem and how it diminishes vaping satisfaction. But even the biggest battery will have this problem without a circuit that regulates and/or boosts the battery output and keeps it constant. The models you recommend don't have that ability.

Since I started using cartos with my ego-t mega, it is wonderfully consistent.

I have an ego-t, fiber setup and tank setup. Both of them are garbage if we are looking at consistency, the tank setup leaks something horrendous and yes I have the rubber caps on, not the plastic. Its not consistent, sometimes real raw hits, others pretty smooth. The amount of draw is entirely inconsistent, sometimes very hard other times not so hard, just depends how much leaks into the atty and covered in juice it is. Here is the real question

Who has come up with a consistent delivery method that does NOT resemble a big cig box with a pipe coming out of it.? This industry is lacking something fierce with regards to consistency. Cigarettes are deadly consistent, the more tinkering you have folks do, the more drawn to a cigarette they will be. So who has the good product that is simply not a rebranded, repackaged 510 or ego?

Thanks

I just don't think tanks, even the ego-T's, CE2's, tank mods are a good choice for someone very new to vaping.

They need to be fooled with and modded and if you don't even know how to fill a cartomizer or what a wick is your going to have problems.

You just fill a cartomizer and you're done. Then you can tell if you want a different battery or if you like your basic setup.

The ego-t tanks or CE's aren't consistant. If you don't fool with them every other vape is going to be dry or taste burnt or you'll get a mouth full of juice.

However I find that carto tanks are very consistant, and quite easy to learn how to use.
If punching cartos is to difficult for someone, they can always buy them prepunched.
There is a learning curve to using anything, even a basic prefilled carto.

 

[swedishfish]

I don't think the majority of people think there's a learning curve, or the idea they you have to fool with things really will put them off. They just want to buy a kit and quit smoking. That's why people buy mall pvs, they make it sound really easy. See if you hear them tell someone that's spending $200 on a KR808 that there's a learning curve.

It's hard enough to figure out what to order, what all the numbers mean, then finding a juice that doesn't make you gag. To tell someone they might need to adjust a wick that's about the size of a pin head is expecting a lot.

It's not the OP's fault or anyone's fault that purchases some of this stuff. It's the vendor. They should have something on the site that tells people the equipment may need to be adjusted.

We might help a fraction of the people that buy this equipment. What percentage of people that vape reach the ECF? Most get this stuff, cant use it, get frustrated and smoke. Then they tell others how bad vaping is and people won't try it.

Sorry for the vent but this annoys me.

These are very good: eGo Mega Dual Coil Cartomizer

So are the clear versions, which you can find under the top sellers section on the left of the page. They are Clear Ego Mega MDDCs.

I got no time for dripping honestly, I need simple, like a cigarette, nothing simpler than a real cigarette. Having to play around with what seems like cheap chinese junk is not my idea of fun lol. You must not give a single reason to a new non smoker. Whats the downside here

Dual Coil 510 Tank Cartomizer, 3.5ml

Personal opinion of course, but it's equally a mistake to sell people short. Most that vape have an IQ higher than three.

 

[swedishfish]

I assure you, I have an IQ higher than three and couldn't get the ego-t's to work correctly. I had been vaping for awhile and tried the tank so I knew there was something better out there. If it was my first attempt at vaping, I'd still be buying Newports.

I came to the conclusion that I wasn't alone when vendors started SELLING fixes for it.

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL that's funny.

[tj99959]

Thats funny, my very first e-cig was an eGo-T, and it worked properly from day one ..... I must have been doing something wrong

Oh and there is a huge difference between an eGo-T and the carto tank that I had just suggested.

 

[Aunt Cranky]

*sigh* the eGo tank system was not my friend either. Yes. They leak unless you fiddle with them and sometimes they still leak.

These days my setup is super simple, and I'm very happy with it. A rotation of eGo batteries (I have a lovely eGo variable voltage pass-thru that I'm absolutely glued to). I've purchased batteries from GotVapes, Cignot, and MadVapes. All have worked great - no complaints.

For attys/cartos, my personal sweet spot is with the "Fluxomizer" CE2s from GotVapes, as well that their bulkier "Visions" clearomizer. No batting to get burnt or clogged up, and the maintenance / rinse of these are so easy even a lazy aunt cranky like me can deal with it. Really.. I HATE maintenance.

In a pinch, I also keep some dual coil cartomizers on hand - they work fine on the XL 510 batteries and look a bit more analog-like.

Because I primarily vape juice that's anywhere from 60% - 100% VG, I tend to burn through attys and other cartos quickly (gummy yuck) but the current setup I've got is pretty reliable.

I'm with you 100%, swedishfish. For every person who buys a mall model or a Blu and then does the research to find this site and find a good model to start with, there are easily 50 or more who conclude that vaping is a scam and go back to smoking. The big companies that put 90% of their money in marketing, never upgrade their equipment or offer a better product, actually hurt the vaping community than help it IMO.

+1. I have actually run into people at the nightclub I frequent, who were blown away by my simple ego battery screwed onto an xl ce2 - Then I got to explain to them that if they want to get into vaping they should research a bit and decide on something that has good reviews and customer support. But yeah, I think the "1st step" for someone getting into vaping is what I dub the "mall scam experience", unfortunately.
