Hello everyone. I am very new to this whole e-cig thing. I have been vaping for about 2-3 weeks. The first and only one that I have is the xhale02 from 7 eleven. I was just woundering if anyone else has been using this and what you think of it. And if any atomizer that I buy online is compatable with it. I don't see that many post's on this brand. I would love anyone's feedback on this. Thank you all in advance who respond.:)

The only thing I really liked about the xhale is that it made me want to get something better. I wouldn't have known how great vaping could be, and kick analogs, if my wife hadn't of brought one home for me to try. I ordered a Joye 510 the same night she brought the xhale home, and more units since. I still have two xhales that the wife keeps as backups, but once those carts are gone, so are they.

So would you recommend to buy another e-cig? A better one? It was nice to be able to buy one at a store where it won't cost you about $50-$60 just for a started kit....to try it out. I like that this is the same size as a cigarette. It is kind of wierd that it is cheaper to buy at 7 eleven then it is to buy on their website.

I am going to use the two xhale02 ecigs that I have till I really need to buy a new one, then maybe I'll buy the one you recommended.

i got my first xhale on jan 2nd, and exactly 10 days later the atty crapped out on me, so i had 2 choices, go back to analogs cuz i wasnt near ready to quit yet, or buy a whole nother xhale starter kit for $20+ a 2nd cart refills, $15 each, so total investment $70, then 10 days later my second atty crapped out, left with the same 2 choices, reluctantly i went and bought a third starter kit for $20 and another refill of carts, total investment for january on xhale units and refills, $105... *facepalm*

the same day that i bought my third kit of xhales i went home and purchased a 510 joye starter kit, the same kind that was suggested to you at the beginning of this thread, it just arrived today and ive still got my final xhale unit going strong, im taking advantage of that to take necessary steps to prep my new 510 unit such as charging each of the 2 batts it comes with for 5 hrs passed the point of fully charged to ensure a long batt life, plus i have been reading posts and watching helpful youtube videos about cleaning atty's and overall care of my vaping products, i would HIGHLY suggest you order a new vaping unit starter kit before one if not both of your xhales break down, because the last thing you want is to tear open your new kit once it arrives and blow it out. also you'l need to get yourself a bottle of nic juice, e-juice, to act as your replacement carts, juice is better imo not only because of the range of great flavors, but because its amazingly cheaper when compared to the cart refills at 7-11 for example.. hope all this helps.. theres YT vids which give reviews of the dif types of popular units, one of my fav reviewers is this guy, check out his vids here

Yeah, I hear the xhale 02 is supposed to be pretty good for what it is. Plus, I LOVE that 7-11 is carrying them where all the world can see (I saw them and googled them and ended up here - never would have known about e-cigs without them). Plus-plus, it's great to know that if my house burns down tomorrow I can always go to 7-11 to buy something for cheap that'll get me through.

That all being said, there are e-cigs on the market that are FAR superior to those. The x-hale is like riding around on a scooter and thinking it's a Harley. If it's enough to get you where you need to go then more power to you but it wouldn't be enough for me (I can say this without having used one because the 510 wasn't enough for me and even it is a step up), for maximum vaping pleasure look into getting something with at least 650mah (yes, I'm referring to the oft mentioned eGo models - but if it was me I'd be looking at the eGo TANK).

Good Luck!

I bought one yesterday after trying a friend's Blu e-cig, VERY pleased with it, produces way more vapor than my friend's Blu.

Definitely worth the $20 to anyone curious about PVs/E-cigs, I will most likey be buying a 510 or something in the future, but for now this is a great cheap start.

I'll be posting a guide with pictures on how to refill the carts with your own juice, just gotta get 5 posts first to post it in the mods section 8)

Mine never seemed to work right after the first few puffs. I just took it apart to see what was going on and it looks like the nylon string running through the contact inside the atomizer fried. I don't see why they didn't use wire mesh instead. I think these may work using direct drip onto the atomizer but since the patruding wire mesh needs to be cut out in order to do that carts would no longer work. Basicly these are really crappy and won't last more than a day.

Rheichel, just like Earl Grey, the Xhale helped me stay off analogs a week ago. If I hadn't gotten the Xhale, I would've ended up buying a new pack of analogs. The problems that I've noticed are:

1. You can barely taste the flavor, and there isn't much TH or vapor.
2. The atty has a tendency to overheat, and the hits end up tasting burnt.
3. I went to take a cart off, last night, and ended up removing the atty. I was able to fix it, but now it's puffing worse than it was before.

It's a good "starter" unit to get, if you want to try out e-cigs, but it's not something that I would recommend long-term. For a little more than the cost of refills, you can get something better, that will last a lot longer!

Hi, neighbor. I have a spare 7-11 atty and can give it you. I have 0 nic cartridges also. The battery is dead so I don't use them anyway. Btw . Check craigslist sometimes you could find a good deals on e-cig there.

I didn't even think about Craig's List. OMG!! I found one in my area for only $20. And, I wouldn't have to wait for shipping! I've been doing some research on e-cigs today, looking up all the details about them, for my own sake. I don't know if it's worth continuing to vape, or not. I'm not craving as badly as I was before, for the nic, but still LOVE the inhaling and physical aspect of vaping. I don't know what I'm going to do, yet.

Thanks for the advice! I think the atty on mine is fine, for now. I'll have to see how it does.
