From time to time I will hear someone giving a review of a less than high quality device, and say, "I recommend this for a beginner, or as a good starter e cig." That's crazy.
I don't care if you've been vaping for years, or just thinking about getting started, this advice holds true.
Like many others, I fell for the hype of the Blu Cig. 3 days later I was buying a pack of Marlboro Lights. Like others, I guess I thought I would want to feel like I was still using an actual cigarette. Nothing could be further from the truth.
When choosing an e cig, go for performance, period. I highly recommend a bigger battery mod, be it 3.7 Volt (with LR atty for sure), or a 6 Volt vaping beast. The performance and reliability far, far outweighs having something smaller by a few millimeters.
Now I can say this because I own both. I have a Janty Dura C XL, and a PureSmoker Icon. Both of these devices are 3.7 Volt, but since getting the Icon, I have lost pretty much all interest in the smaller, cigarette shaped Janty. Don't get me wrong, there are quite a few really great smaller devices, and the Janty Dura C XL is certainly one of them, but first spend 100 bucks and get an awesome performer, and then if you decide it is too much (which you won't), switch to a smaller one. For this you just have to overcome the feeling that you will be carrying around a device the size of a pipe bomb in your pocket. That's what I thought, and its not like that.
There is a reason everyone who starts with a small device opts for a larger, better performing one in only a short time. I actually work with a guy who bought an e cig from a gas station. Guess what. The next day he was smoking cigs, which is understandable, because e cigs from a gas station or mall kiosk will certainly suck, and be a waist of money.
I'd like to post more, but don't wanna be one of those guys who has a 10 page post. If you guys have any questions, just post or PM me. I'd be more than happy to help.
Kinda funny, wile I'm typing this post, there is an ad for Blu Cig. Total crap.
