macc Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 hi guys, came across this site from a youtube video,. i got into the e cig about 3 months ago, my wife mentioned it to me and i thought why not try it. i would say i smoke about 20 to 30 a day, i am a tobbacco smoker so roll my own, the e cigg i purchased was the e health ciggerette, it is the bog standard one that looks like a normal cigg,. its ok but battery life is a bit crappy, would say less than 45 mins if used all the time........ i was wandering if you all could give me some advise on what would be the best e cig for me? in the uk as alot of other places the smoking ban is rife.... i use my e cig at work on my break, roughly for about 30 mins and quite alot in that time but my e cig really doesnt last, i do prefer the ones that look like cigs as you feel like you are smoking, but if im hounest i really want one that has good battery life and gives off lots of vapor... with me its all about the hit and feeling it at the back of your throut if you get me... any advise would be good.... many thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper Ron Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 if you look at the starter kits at the stores here you will find a model Joye 510 series which is basicly cig size but if you want long battery life Joye eGo (cigar size) is your best bet and you can also get an 1000 mah battery that fits it.

nana Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 My recommendation is the eGo. It's not much bigger than a cigarette and it has great battery life (typically 8 to 10 hours). There are a lot of different atomizers you can use with it, but I would suggest the LR atomizers to begin with. They put off a lot more vapor than what you're getting with the unit you use right now. I'd also suggest a drip tip in place of the cartridge. With that you drip 3 drops of liquid through the tip and onto the atomizer and vape away. You use up all of the liquid instead of losing some in the cartridges because it doesn't all wick down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjradik Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I too recommend the eGo. But I personally use the eGo-T model. The mouth piece and tank are a single unit. I like it because its easy to refill, and a single 1 ml talk lasts almost all day with out needing to drip all the time, but its personal preference. The one draw back is the tanks are more subject to leaking after being re-used a few times. But I ordered (but not yet received so I haven't tried them out yet) a softer plastic tank, instead of the normal hard tank, which is suposed to be better at preventing leaks because it forms a tighter seal around the wick. The 1000mah battery lasts me two days under normal, non-chain vaping, use. (using a normal atty too. As a LR atty reduces battery life) macc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macc Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 hi again, thankyou so much for all the help and advice given. i looked here and around the net, and decided to order the ego-t, i do like the idea of a drip tip on say the riva, but at work it would be a pain and i do like the idea of the tank. i went for the normal edition rather than the special edition, mainly because i saw a grimm review on it and decided better to save a few quid, i chose to stick with the normal atty for the min, but will deffo get the LR's soon will be intresting to see the diff... i will let you all know what i think of the ego-t when i get my hands on it.... yet again many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjradik Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Congrats on your ego-t. I got my ego-t a week ago. One down side I see to it is that the stock tanks started leaking on me after a couple refills, or thinner juice. Some people have experienced leaking too, while others have not. If you do, I recommend some of the soft bottom tanks. They work awesome with no leaking. Check out the 'Joye ego t leaking issue’ topic under ‘Help it Broke…’ I posted links to a couple of places I bought from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
