Hi guys,

I am 21 years old and have been smoking since college freshmen year.
Now that I am a senior and will graduate this year, I want to kick the habit of smoking before I move onto to the next stage in my life.
But the thing is, I love smoking and I know for certain that I won't be able to drop cold turkey.
So I decided to purchase an e-cig but I do not know where to begin and was wondering if you experts could lend me a hand with these questions:

1. Which MODEL is the best? (I would like to purchase an e-cig that delivers a lot of smoke and DURABLE. And it seems that there is a lot of talk about DSE901)

2. Which VENDOR can I trust?

3. What is the right PRICE range? (Obviously, I don't want to be ripped off but I have no idea of the price range)

4. What are the basic/necessary ACCESSORIES that I should purchase along with the e-cig?

Please please take some time to answer these four questions!
It will be a great help to me!

Thank you.

There are many options available to you so it just depends on what type you are looking for. I personally prefer the minis over the pen styles since the look like a regular cig. the ones i carr are a pretty good model that some of the bigger names in ecigs carry its in the KR series. If the pen style is more for you the dse901 is not too bad you can find plenty of accesories and parts for them when you need them


1. Which MODEL is the best? (I would like to purchase an e-cig that delivers a lot of smoke and DURABLE. And it seems that there is a lot of talk about DSE901)
that would depend on your preference if there is a place around you that sells locally see if they will let you try theres.
2. Which VENDOR can I trust?
You should use a vendor who answers all of your questions and addresses your concerns about your purchase along with instructing you on how to properly use, clean, and maintain your product.
3. What is the right PRICE range? (Obviously, I don't want to be ripped off but I have no idea of the price range)
prices on e cigarettes can vary greatly i would find the model/type you like and try to find the cheapest vendor you feel comfortable with and if there product is really cheap you will get what you paid for. so make sure they have some sort of return or exchange policy. i wouldnt buy it for more than $80 or less than $50
4. What are the basic/necessary ACCESSORIES that I should purchase along with the e-cig?
car charger if your on the road a lot, usb pass throughs if you spend a lot of tiome in front of a computer , a metal case to protect it depending on who you get it from you can get a case that will recharge your batteries and enough cartriges to get used to your new ecig most places give you 5 with there basic starter kit this is not enough try around 20-30 and ween yourself away from tobacco by the time you run out you will know whether or not it is something you want to stick with

I hope this helps

Nice Post Justin except ... 

"3. What is the right PRICE range? (Obviously, I don't want to be ripped off but I have no idea of the price range)

The best suppliers I've found are less than $50 dollars...  There are kits that cost more but they usually have 4 atomizers, carrying cases, come with juices and so forth.

Rockymountainvapor.com....  J510's for $46.  DSE901's for $42          Free Shipping!
http://www.widowsbeadwork.com/Ecig.html   510 kits for $50.... DSE901's for $44.  Free Shipping!
Vaporcountry.com   DSE901 starter sets for $39.99  He even has Manual batteries for the 901.

Many many more... 510 is hands down one of the best minicigs on the market right now.  Now, if you want better performance you will start looking at the Janty Stick, Prodigy, GG, ScrewDriver, GLV, Nicostick.   Those are the main players to the serious vapor enthusiast .

I recently purchased the fifty one brand cig. One reason is that it's an American company and I also did some research in this product. With most e cigs you re use the atmoizer over and over and some brands are hard to clean and there are even some you can't clean. With the fifty one e cig everytime you put on a new filter you get a new atomnizer so it always has a nice clean drag. And after watching you tube it produces the same if not more vapor than most brands that I have seen. Then recently I bought some e juice from Johnson creek but have not recived it yet to try to refill my cartriges so I took one of my used ones apart and there is a cloth like material inside  so it will be refillable and most other e cigs can only hold one to two drops but the fifty one brand can hold 5-10 drops I read that off of a fourm and the guy said that it produces twice the vapor then before and is stronger so I'm super exicted to revive my smoke juice to try it our. But those are some points to defiatly to consider when buying these products just remeber you get what you pay for so don't go to cheap or I think you will be dissatisfied

I'll respond to the VENDOR question from my own experience.  DO NOT support eCigSupply.com!!! It has been 3 weeks and my replacement has not arrived AFTER I sent the defective one back.  I also called, emailed almost daily to either replace the one eCig or refund my money (credit card).  All I have is promises!  I will NEVER BUY from eCigSupply.com.......EVER!!!

NOW...For the GOOD NEWS!!!  I ABSOLUTELY LOVE VAPOR KING  http://www.vaporkings.com.  Rob is the very BEST {yes, I'm on a first-name basis with this vendor}.  I have 8 eCigs, different colors, 3 or 4 chargers, vehicle charger, USB battery eliminator, carrying cases, etc etc.  VAPOR KING, you'll love it.

Altho Rob is the best vendor, his selection of liquids is limited so I use FREEDOM SMOKES http://www.myfreedomsmokes.com.  They have one of the best if not THE best and largest selections of liquids we've found.  You can custom make a 6-bottle 6mg sample pack and custom choose a variety of nicotine levels for each bottle.  Hope this helps!!   Smiley

As far as finding a vendor you can trust, go with White Cloud e-cigs. They are responsive. Other companies often aren't.

I've been vaping for several months and if you are interested in getting an e-cig I would recommend the Joye 510. I would also recommend getting e-juice of which ever flavor and nic level you might like. The e-cig comes with 5 cartridges usually filled with regular tobacco flavor but you will need more within the week if you vape alot. All of the places below are domestic US so there is no issue with customs. I have ordered from the top 2 listed and will be placing an order with the last one at the end of the week. It has good reviews on the forum and the best price on hardware. I'm getting another starter kit.
My personal recommendation (this guy has really fast shipping, good high flavor aka High Voltage e-juice) - nhaler.com
A good alternative for e-juice or do it yourself juice making and free shipping over $14 - diyflavorshack.com
Best priced hardware on e-cigs if you don't mind it not coming in a box and shipping is only $5  - cignot.com

I just got my first e-cig last week (Smoking Everywhere - GoldOne) and it looks like Ill have to take it back.  Im doing everything in the instructions and havent dropped it but its just not working, just my experience with the first one. New Technology maybe.

Hi everyone,

Well I went and exchanged my 'Smoking Everywhere GoldOne' yesterday and this one isnt much better, big disappointment.



I like using it when it works but the problem that Ive faced with it is that the cartridges only last for about "one cigarettes worth of smoke" , if that, and then the thing dies.

Each cartridge is supposed to be "two packs worth" of smoke. Or at least thats what the salesman said.



I realize that this is all relatively new technology and that the e-cig will only get better over time but its very frustrating, but then again, perhaps Im doing something wrong with the product, although I read the manual cover to cover.



Not trying to discredit the Smoking Everywhere Company either, just relaying my experience so far and am open to any suggestions.
