Hi all
I've been into vaping since October when a friend lent me his Joyetech ecig for a week. I've not had a cigarette since and am hoping I never will!
However, I have had problems venturing into this field. I made the rookie mistake of purchasing non-branded batteries from local shops that looked like my mate's Joyetech battery as well as order from fast tech which took a month to arrive and lasted a few days before stopping working altogether.
So I've come onto the forum to ask, based on my requirements what the best starter kit for me is. I have a budget of around £30 for the kit.
I am big into sheesha. One of the benefits of vaping is that I am saving money on Sheesha cafes which were costing me £20/week on top of my cig habit (one 10-pack daily). Hence my starter kit must produce a nice fog of smoke. My current battery does so (it says eGo-T on the bottom but I suspect another cheap clone) but it only does the first time and then it either gurgles or produces no smoke at all. I have to wait a few minutes to try again.
I like the throat hit too. I was on ML and I purchase a medium-nicotine bottle which serves it's purpose but it is only satisying when I can feel the hit at the back of the throat. It was for this reason I purchased a cheap variable-voltage kit from overseas but it wasn't very durable as it only lasted a week (as well as being the size of a flute!)
That last point leads me onto the next must-have. I would like to be able to carry it about without looking like the pied piper! I bought a VV one from overseas and the battery alone was 13.5cm which made the full device the size of my forearm almost!
Looked a bit ridiculous when out and about.
Lastly, all the devices I have had so far seem to have a life-span of a week or so. I need something that will last me at least 12 months with some sort of guarantee of durability. Is that asking for too much? Not sure. I'd be interested in hearing what you guys think.
Also, I have tried the tank system that my mate's Joyetech device had and I have also had clearomizers since and I prefer the latter because as a newbie I am still toking on it around 100-150 puffs a day. I know that is likely to fall over time but for now I am wishing to have a device that can hold that amount of usage without a refill throughout the day. The clearomizer did the job whereas the tank required a refill once in the day.
I look forward to your advice. The better half is requesting ideas for my birthday pressie on 5th Jan so I look forward to suggestions from you guys soon!
Cheers
