What2Buy Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I've been researching ecigs and have not came to a decision of what to purchase. My budget is about 75$. I read about blu cigs - I dont like that there is not a button to push as it may run down the battery quicker Apollo ecig's seem nice for the standard starting kit. I've watched like 20 youtube videos .. AND Apparently bigger models last longer, and produce more vapor, as smaller models like the blue cig or apollo run down the battery quicker and produce less vapor. Any suggestions on trusted selling websites that sell the big e cigs? Im a noob and would so very much appreciate any guidance, or if the apollo e cig would fit my style My style: I like menthols, and smoke cloves as well but I like to have a pack of marlboro reds, menthols, and black cloves because I switch it up alot. I smoke about half a pack a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Welcome to Vapor Talk! You are correct, the larger batteries do last longer... quite a few hours longer. I would recommend an eGo or eGo-T (tank). Having a button will not run out the battery faster. Most prefer the button because the auto batteries can get juice in them and get ruined. Manual batteries are sealed and juice cannot get in them. You'll get use to the button in no time. Check out the supporting suppliers of the forum: Supporting Suppliers I've ordered from most of them and they all provide excellent service.

mcquinn Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I would recomend an Ego or Joye 510 or even a KR808 .Lots of options and vendors to choose from.Stay away from any brand that you cannot find on several different vendor sites.$75.00 is the most you should pay for a big battery outfit anf $40.00 for a regular kit.Don't make it harder on yourself than it has to be .Just pick one and enjoy it.They all will deliver the goods ,no matter what you buy someone will tell you you should have gotten something else.

JonHitThingWithRock Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 i got my eGo kit from puresmoker.com, it was only $50, and is the genuine article, they also have menthol and clove flavors of e-juice, most people here will recommend the eGo, and with good reason. apollo, blucigs, greensmoke, smoketip, v2, and all the rest tend to be underpowered, overpriced, bad battery life, limited on flavors, low vapor, and you have to get the prefilled cartomizers/cartridges from the same company. with something like the eGo or 510, you've got all kinds of options, and thousands of flavors to choose from with all the different vendors selling e-juice.

kitsune Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 The Ego or Ego tank system is really is a great place to start. The Vendors on the suppliers list are great to work with. You can also look at the Riva from Liberty-Flights--a bit cheaper and from what I have heard, reliable. Great Vendor. The Joye egos have a better warranty and are very reliable. The egos are a bit fatter than the 510's, but the battery life is much, much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snubber Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Have to agree with them...the Ego with its larger battery is a much better choice. The Riva is a good second choice, but not sure about the warrenty. As long as you get one with a 510 connection you will have lots of choices for atty's, cartos, tanks etc. Let us know what you deceide. Good luck and happy vaping.

fran1959 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Welcome to VT, you have already gotten great advice, so I just wanted to say hi to another Floridian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SABOTEUR Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) I know this is probably redundant, but I recommend the Joye eGo too. Recently switched to the eGo after struggling with small battery devices for 2 years. I was astonished at how well the eGo performed. Reliable...stylish...low maintenance...couldn't be more satisfied. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk Edited May 9, 2011 by SABOTEUR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAYVAPE Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) Or skip em all and go with the tried and true 'Silver Bullet' from Altsmoke... a great device even at 3.7 volts! The battery life is outstanding to say the least! Edited May 9, 2011 by DAYVAPE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hi and welcome to VT, everyone has given you excellent advice. My 2cents, don't put too much pressure on yourself and enjoy the journey. kitsune 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMorgan Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I've tried a few brands and settled on Greensmoke and Blu. Greensmokes are heavier, the charge lasts longer and the starter kits cost more, but you get what you pay for. Blus are lighter and need to be charged more often, but also have a cool pack-like portable charger and cost a bit less ($70 for starter kit). I've noticed that more men like the Greensmokes, and women often like Blu because they weight less and are smaller. Greensmoke details at www.greensmoke.com/morgs and Blu at http://goo.gl/xpfmk.

kitsune Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I Think you will love it. I promise it won't be the last device you decide to get--so many cool toys. If budget allows--order an Lr atomizer and/or some cartomizers. gives you some extra bits to play with as you begin this wonderful new hobby. P.S.--don't forget extra liquid !!

What2Buy Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Extra liquid seems to be a MUST from all the replys and threads I've received wonderful comments on. I think it comes with 2 automizers but whats the cartomizer do? It comes with one or the other but Im not sure about the difference and I only have 100$ and need like 10-20 to go out to eat on friday so im cutting it close! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes with one or the other but Im not sure about the difference and I only have 100$ and need like 10-20 to go out to eat on friday so im cutting it close! lol The kit comes with 7 cartridges, not cartomizers, 2 of them don't have any filler and are attatched to the end of your 2 atomizers, 5 of them will be individually wrapped in plastic, and do have filler, the idea of cartridges is that you fill them up with juice and they last a while, not nearly as long as cartomizers or tank cartridges, though, when i first got my eGo kit, i used to cartridges with no filler for direct dripping before i got drip tips. if you're getting the ego-t, it comes with 5 tank cartridges which are totally different, the idea of those is also that you fill them up with liquid, but there's no filler, and they last a lot longer. if you're getting your kit from puresmoker, they send a free bottle of liquid, but yes, do get a couple extra bottles. you may also want to get a couple of cartomizers, the boge 510's will work, i'd recommend getting the LR ones.
