The recommendation of the 510 is a good one. But don't get too hung up on whether or not it looks like an analog. I think you'll find that to be one of the least important factors if you find you enjoy vaping. In fact, if you end up like most of us, you will probably start thinking about one of the mod units pretty quickly because of extended battery life. And none of the mods looks like your Marlboro or Camel analogs.

In fact, I'll go a step further and say that once you get going, you won't even care if you get a cigarette taste when you vape. If you're getting your nicotine, you'll enjoy a variety of flavors that are available. And even better, you won't make up in the morning with your mouth tasting like a herd of camels hiked through your overnight.

Good luck with making the switch. Odds are, you will find this is a much better option than analogs.

Has anyone out there tried vapor king or Vapor4Life products? I recently purchased some cartomizers and after getting a itchy throat we took apart the cartomizer and found it had fiberglass as the material holding the liquid in place!! Scary to say the least....So I did some research and found out that the guy Steve Milin is a reseller of some bad chinese product having batteries/boxes etc.. made with their label/ Logo and running his business out of a UPS store in Wilmete IL. There are so many crooks out there!!! Everyone looking to make a quick buck at our exspense health & financial its so poor that I can't find any integrity in this industry. I've looked into Smoking Anywhere from Ft. Lauderdale they buy that chinese antifreeze ethyl-G and resell at crazy prices! Smoke 51 same thing. Njoy guages!! and they're the ones who caused the initial problem with the FDA with their bad product!! Does anyone Know where to get some quality cartomizers and cheap batteries??? And please don't tell me "Wicked Liquid" as I recently was told by one of there former employees from the Tampa area that they purchase the chinese liquid, repackage it there north of naples then resell it as quality juice. LOL I haven't had any luck!!!!!

I'm not an engineer, nor an expert on batteries and atomizers, but here is my theory:

The e-cig is essentially three parts: battery, atomizer and cartridge. While different makes may use the same atomizer, that is 1/3 of the story. The cartridge is not going to be much of a factor, other than the wicking quality of the fill. If the user direct drips, it's not going to matter at all. That leaves the battery. At the same voltage, there will still be performance differences. Not all batteries of the same voltage maintain a consistent flow of power throughout the duration of the charge. For instance, I noticed immediately that the 510 mega battery seems to perform consistently from start to end of the charge. While the regular battery seems to fall off quite a bit as the charge falls, in terms of vapor production.

My observations on the 510 are purely anecdotal, and may be my own perception. But from other applications, such as flashlights, I know there is a huge difference in performance from brand to brand, even when the same basic characteristics of the battery remains the same.

How about V-Pete? Or there's always "Big Johnson"...

Angel, this is not on topic with your original post, but I need to say something. Your posts are extremely difficult to read because you don't use punctuation...or seldom use punctuation. It makes everything in your posts run together, and it's hard to follow your line of thought. You have some interesting things to say, but some are going to miss out because they won't want to wade through the post trying to follow what you are saying.
