Choice between a Volcano and a Sidesho ?

[macscac]

Hello! first post here but i have been reading and reading and reading for a couple weeks.

I would probably be considered a 'casual' smoker.
I smoke aprox 4-7 real cigarettes a day.
Marlboro menthol 72's (the shorties)

I am looking to kick the 'analog's' as you call them and move to the ecig.
What i am after is an ecig that is the same size as what i really smoke.
The longer ecigs do not appeal to me at all.
I believe i am after a volcano or a sidesho.
What i cannot tell is if they are the same thing or not.

I know that the volcano uses carts. and that i can refill them. which im sure that i will do.
does the sidesho?

folks reviews say that the sidesho has an easier drag and bigger vapor production than the blu. so im assuming its a better unit than the volcano.
but im just not sure.

I would love any input that you guys can give a newbie.

and please, no "give up the mini's and get a 510" or whatever comments.
I really would like to stick with the smaller ecigs for now.
thanks!

You may want to try a super-mini. I have the RN4082. It is about the length of a 100 analog. You can hold it easily between two fingers like a cig. If you use your teeth a bit you can hang it out of your mouth and vape. Just don't get it from Smoking Everywhere like I did (those kiosks at the mall). You can find the same thing online for half the price and get two e-cigs and more accessories.

Best of luck to you!!

i have done some more reading and am going to order up the sidesho.
appears i will be happier with it.
here is what im thinking shall be my first order.

Sidesho black starter kit.
vanilla 18mg carts 5.99
tobacco 18mg carts 5.99
18mg menthol bottle 9.99
18mg b&h bottle 9.99

is there really anything else i need?
i think i can use the bottles of juice to refill the prefilled carts.
im not a heavy smoker so im thinking that this should set me up for aprox 24packs worth of smoking?

any particular reason that you wanna mess with a 3 piece instead of a simple 2 piece KR808 ? they make shorty batterys too so they're not long.

 

[macscac]

im sorry.. who makes the KR808 ?

I think the sidesho would be a good starter. It looks like a 4081 to me and I think they are pretty good. They can be somewhat of a hassle when refilling, but every e-cig has some drawback.

i actually talked to tony at modervapor on the phone tonite...
i did place my above mentioned order.
very excited to try my first "vape"

 

[nightwalker83]

sorry bout the late reply, the KR808D-1 is typically know as the Vapor King and a bunch of other names, i love not having to mess with atomizers i just screw on the cart and smoke it, but it's cool if you don't mind maintaining that stuff.

Anyways good luck with your first vaping machine, and don't overdo it the first day you get it or you'll end up with the runs lol

No runs, but I did smoke the hell out of the carts I got with my Volcano.

17 carts in 3 days. 8-o

Yikes!!!! The runs??

received my sidesho today!
first impression is that i LOVE it!!
the menthol (mint) is a great flavor. i dont much care for the vanilla or the bh tobacco.
those are light.. but the menthol has a nice full flavor and its rather similar to a regular smoke.
it is very odd smoking with others and not having any ashes!!
thanks tony!
