Mini Ecig Bashing?

DJ — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 02:21:55 +0000

Wow, a lot of posts here bashing the mini ecigs. I have been vaping for little over a year and have tried many different ecigs out there, trying to find the best. There really isn’t a best one. People like different models for different reasons. In actuality all ecigs can do a decent job at keeping you off cigarettes if you really want them to. Then it comes down to preferrence. All of the mini ecig bashing I have read are true and valid, but that doesn’t make them bad. Yes mini ecigs don’t last, yes the vapor is not as good as larger ecigs, but that just might be good enough for some people. However, Majority of the people want something with a lot of Vapor and really don’t want to fuss with parts. I have used both large size and mini size ecigs and I personally don’t really like the mini ecigs because they are too small, little vapor, and battery dies fast. That is a fact and can’t change. So ALL mini ecigs will have these attributes. It doesn’t matter the brand. Majority of the brands have the same ecig anyway. Size does matter here. But it all depends on the user. Some people don’t need a lot of vapor. Some people don’t need batteries that last long. Some people are happy with their mini ecigs like Blucig or Green smoke, but that is probably because they haven’t tried a better one. Ignorance is bliss sometimes. But the important thing here is that they are cutting back tobacco smoking. What ever it takes right… So, would I recommend a mini ecig like a Volcano or Sovereign, probably not because I know the hassles of them and would rather have something larger like a Pen Style or a Vapor Tokers Fatty, just because I know the vapor is better and the batteries last longer. If you are new, then maybe you should try both types, so you understand these concepts. Until you go through constant battery changes and dead atomizers, you will not understand. Everyone is different and like different models for different reasons. The fact is a larger ecig will out perform a mini ecig any day, but maybe you are satisfied with a lesser performing ecig (mini). Just something to think about.

Volcano ECig Sucker! ugh

I can’t believe I wasted my money. You know, I read all these posts about the Volcano and people complaining and yet I still bought one. I actually got a Fatty from Vapor Tokers and I really like it, but I thought that the little charging pack was kind of cool and wanted to try something different. I was SO disappointed in it. I was used to the Fatty, the vapor and the battery life, I guess I was spoiled since it was my first ecig. I got so frustrated with my volcano because the battery would only last like 1 hour, when I was used to my Fatty lasting me all day. I would burn out the spare battery before the pack would finish charging the first one. I went back to my trusty old Fatty by the third day. Wow, what a world of difference. If you already have the Fatty, then don’t bother with anything else, you will only be disappointed! Really! Anyways, just wanted to share my experience…Shoots!

My Volcano ecig keeps dying!

Kat — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 23:56:25 +0000

I spent about $200 on the Volcano Magma. I have two PCCs and 5 batteries that I use to keep me through the day. I had two of my atomizers go out in the two weeks. Yesterday I was sitting with my friend and my battery died before she smoked 3 cigarettes. I was kind of embarrassed that my electric cigarette died after she only smoked three cigarettes. This is getting very irritating, and I can’t keep buying more and more batteries to carry. I planning on getting that Fatty that I’m reading about because the battery is supposed to last long. I like vaping, but this battery changing and atomizer replacing is getting out of hand. If you want to know how good the charging pack ecigs perform, well, you will kill the battery before the pack can recharge it, so spend more money and get extra batteries. Anyone else have this problem? Any recommendations? I already ordered the Fatty, I’ll let you know how it is when I get it.

Green Smoke Ecigs are Rubbish

Travis — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 19:36:11 +0000

Anyone who has used these probably can concur with me on this one. I though I was upgrading when I got rid of my NPro. I still wanted the cigarette look, but looks and size makes a difference with ecigs i guess. Not much better in performance and the batteries suck ass! I am really tired of these mini ecigs. I guess I have to get one of those larger ones. I sampled my friends Volcano Magma, and not much to say about those either. I just don’t want to be carrying 4 batteries with me to use all day. The Fatty sounds intriging. Maybe I’ll try that, but just some advice. If you smoke a lot, then don’t buy a mini. Unless you don’t mind the hassle. Plus if you think about it, if you are trying to quit cigarettes, then why use something that resembles one…hmmm good question!

Are 901s Good?

Joanne — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 23:22:29 +0000

Hi,

I got a 901 for my birthday. It is ok, but I’m trying to find a better ecig. Is this as good as it gets? or is there something better? I want to quit, but it is pretty hard. I am looking to see if anyone knows about a better ecig. There are so many damn ecigs now. I want one with a longer lasting battery, not too big, and a little more vapor would be nice. Thank you for your help!
How are the 510s?

Got Taken at the Swap Meet, should have known

Fran — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 08:08:26 +0000

Crap man, I should have done some research first. I picked up a kit at the swamp meet from ecig hawaii. I though I was getting all the fixings. It comes in a red box, that kind of reminds me of elementary school and my pencil case. I’m not saying it was bad, but I wish I got a better one, I still paid around $90 in items. I didn’t know there was better ones. They were nice people and all, but we all would rather have the best stuff. Anyways, I feel so much more enlightened after reading the posts. Thanks guys!

I got Green Smoke, should I change?

Sarah — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 07:51:30 +0000

Hi, I have been using Green Smoke for a couple weeks. It seems to be ok, but I have been reading things in different forums about them being bad. I seems to work ok. Sometimes it acts up, but I just bang it and shake it till it works again…lol I kind of want a better one, I was thinking about getting the volcano. Their site looks nice and I saw some videos. But I don’t want to get another ecig that is going to be similar to the one I already have. What is the point in changing, if it ends up being the same thing with the same problems. I wish the battery would last longer, even with the charging pack, it really doesn’t help. I don’t even use the pack to charge the ecig anymore because it takes too long and I get a better charge off the wall. I’ll do more research, but I always love suggestions. Thanks everyone!

Wow! Fatty – See ya 510!

Alex — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 02:49:00 +0000

Hey, Alex back with an update. I got my Fatty today and I want to cry, this thing is so good. The Vapor is killer and the battery is going strong. I’ll update you when it dies, but I use it about every 5 minutes and it has been a champ for the last 5 hours. Very nice look. Small. My 510 atomizers fit it, but the atomizer it comes with is way better and the cart holds more juice. This thing makes some dense vapor, OMG! I got 510 parts for sale. Reply if you want them. This is all I need now. No more carrying them extra batteries, just as advertised, it is simply amazing. Of course I’ll update you in a few days, things are always good at first. But this thing seems pretty solid. Definately a smart purchase.

Happy Happy Vaping!
Alex

My 510 is great, but looking to upgrade

Alex — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 20:48:36 +0000

Been vaping the 510 for a while now. It was pretty good. Definately, helped me quit. I was a half pack type of person a day. I personally like the Manual version better than the automatic. I had a lot of battery problems with the automatic version, the juice would get in it and kill the battery. I saw some posts about Sovereign and Volcano 510 models. A friend of mine used a Volcano Magma (510), I compared the parts to my 510 and the atomizer looked different. Mine seemed to generate a little more vapor, I think the ring in the Magma or Sovereign atomizer is the problem, but what do I know. That seemed to be the major difference. But now I’m actually over the 510 because the battery life is just crap. It was good while it lasted. Sorry 510, time for your retirement. lol Now there are better ecigs out there with longer lasting batteries. I’m here in Hawaii for the summer and just ordered a Fatty. Can’t wait, the Fatty reviews are great…I’ve been waiting for an ecig like this. Long lasting battery, and still a mini! I’ll updat you when I get it!

Help! I want to get parts for my Volcano

Lacy — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 01:38:09 +0000

Does anyone know how to get a hold of Sovereign esmokes? I wanted to upgrade my atomizer but their site is not up right now. I know they have the same ecig and the parts are cheaper, but I can’t get online. Do they have a support email? My magma pack doesn’t work anymore and I need a replacement, but I am not going to buy another kit from them. They will not change my pack, bastards! Any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
