GoodeJuice.com Juices

2012-02-16T08:18:00.000-08:00

Well, I decided that since I'm already half way though my bottle of Red Bully e-juice from Goodejuice.com I'd go ahead and put up my thoughts on it-
GoodeJuice is a fitting name, but it should be more like bestejuiceiveeverhadandineedgallonsofit.com or omfgicoulddrinkitifitdidntkillme.com. They're GOOD.

Basically- I love it. It has a great consistency, not too thin that it floods everything quick, and the tastes are great. Like I said, I'm 1/2 way though Red Bully already, I cannot get enough of it. It's like I'm sitting here drinking Red Bull, only it's vapor, and I'm not drinking, I'm inhaling.
Vita Bella is pretty awesome also. At first I wasn't sure what it was. It tasted sweet, but like a cigarette. Turns out, its made from actual tobacco. Its a really unique flavor, and it sort of blew me away. It just has this flavor... I can't really put words to it, but it's sweet and delicious and refreshing in a way. What's really cool though, as I'm sure you know, is that it's made from natural tobacco, so it really has a genuine flavor.
GJ4 is there play on RY4, and again, is made with natural tbacco. I've never had an RY4, but I know they're immensely popular with the e-cig community. I can see why, especially if they tried this one first. It's a touch sweet, kind of mellow notes, with a genuine cigarette taste. It's awesome!
But the one I really love is Apple Cured Tobacco. Again, made with natural tobacco. It has a nice smooth apple flavor, and is just.... decadent I guess is a good word. So I'm kind of hoarding it and treating it like a box of good Cuban cigars.

So while you wait for the video to come out, head over to Goodejuice.com and try them out for yourself!

Karma E-Cigs

2012-02-11T13:15:00.000-08:00

This is the Karma Premium kit from KarmaClassics.com (also can be found at karma-e-cigs.com, as there is a bit of confusion in the video as you will see.) This is a cute little kit with great vapor production. Read more to hear what I have to say!

So, the Karma. It's your average sized e-cigarette and light enough to hold like a real cigarette. The throat hit is a little lacking, but honestly, with the large cut off and great vapor production, you won't really miss it after a few puffs. The flavors are pretty true to taste, and they even offer a flavor called "Sun Burst" that has Vit. C added in. Sun Burst has a slight orange flavor to it, and its unique to find a juice with vitamins added. I have actually read up on such things, and doctors/pharmacists are actually looking at personal vaporizers (e-cigs) to administer medication because inhalation is one of the quickest ways to get medicine in your body. But anyway!
I really love the entire look and feel of the Karma, and the PCC itself. The PCC is a soft velvety heavy plastic case that you know wont break in a day, and the cigarette comes in white or black, packed in an elegant looking red and black box. The PCC is the coolest part of this kit though. Charge this baby up, and it should keep your e-cigs charged for a week. And, the coolest of the coolest, is the battery bar in the front of the box to let you know your current battery level.
All in all, the Karma is a terrific starter cigarette. It's a two piece which is easier to use, and throat hit can often be "too much" for newbies until they get used to the feeling of vapor v. smoke.
Don't forget to check out KarmaClassics.com on your way out!

Vapor Alley Q2v3 Copper Mod

2012-02-09T12:46:00.000-08:00

Well, here she is.... My very first mod, courtesy of VaporAlley.com . This is the Q2v3 copper mod. Take a look under the jump for some specs.

The Q is a pretty big step up from your average e-cig unit. At first glance I'm sure you're thinking it's got to be god awful heavy. But honestly, it isn't. It's about 4oz, and considering it's look and size, that's pretty light. When you're vaping it though, you really won't even be thinking about the weight (which by the way, I actually like about it). This baby can put out some power. Inside I've got 2 3.0v protected batteries for some pretty awesome vaping power that's compatible with all 510 atomizers (which is awesome). Here's a shot of my full set up currently;

ETA: Straight from the man himself, this is what he has to say about the battery power (because I just haven't grasped that concept yet);

"It also accepts a 17670 battery (3.7 volts) So...
Use a LR atty with the 3.7 volt battery it becomes around 4 - 4.5 volts, or so.
Use the 2 X 3.0 volt batteries with a High Resistance atomizer it lowers the voltage to around 5 volts.
But personally I use what you have there: 6 volts and dual coil cartomizers."

Man she's pretty.... Anyway! Here is the Q (which I've named Queeny and I love her) which has a 510 thread, fitted with a 510 SmokeTech XXL Dual Coil Cartomizer. But more on that later. The Q has got some power behind her, and quite the life span. Although I've yet to kill the battery myself, you know it's going to last a long time with all the power it's got inside it. The Q has a nice texture to it so it's comfortable to hold. It fits perfectly in your hand, and as you can see, it's really easy to use. Screw in your cartomizer or atomizer of choice, and you're good to go. To operate the unit, pull the cartomizer down with your fingers to turn the cigarette on, and inhale though the mouth piece. The XXL cart is also impressive. It puts out some great power, and claims to be better and stronger because there are two coils to absorb the power. Plus, the huge capacity means more time spent vaping and less time dripping.

All together this is one legit unit. If you're like me, and you want something that will last you all day because you can't be bothered with charging and refilling constantly, get a Q. This is a perfect starter mod; not too big, but still big enough to really give you some good "oomph!" when you vape it.

On to the vapor it's got in it, I've got her loaded up with some Vapor Alley chocolate. Now usually, I don't get chocolate, but I happened to be vaping an old and was supposed to be empty chocolate cart I had laying around and thought, yeah, why not. So I got it onto the Q and ...mmmmmm.... Chocolate. Great smoke production, great full chocolate flavor. Definitely the perfect match for the Q.
(And it sounds like a great V-day present for your lady, too... I'm just saying!)

So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen- The Q2v3!

Happy Vaping!

Titan Vapors

2012-02-08T14:08:00.000-08:00

Titan Vapors

I just got in some juice from Titan Vapors, and let me tell you... I was blown away! When I first got them, I of course immediately opened the package in the car. I opened up each flavor and I already knew just by smelling them- These are gonna be good. Don't forget to go to TitanVapors.com to get your own!

So, here's what I've gotten:

American Hand Rolled Tobacco (100%VG, 16mg)- It promises to taste like the real thing. And really, it kind of does. Maybe a nice higher end cigarette, definitely no Camel or anything, but it does taste like a real cigarette.

Newport Beach (60pg/40vg, 16mg)- I got this only for all of those who ask me for a menthol cigarette. A lot of e-juices taste really super menthol-y. Like eating a mint. And that's not what anyone's looking for. Well, search no more! This is seriously a real tasting menthol cigarette.

Gummy Worms (100% VG, 16mg)- GUMMY WORMS. It is spot on. It literally tastes like you're eating a bag of gummy worms. It makes my mouth water its so good. It's my new favorite and I cannot put it down.

Cinnamon Rolls (60/40, 16mg)- This one I'm kind of on the fence about. It tastes really good and sweet, but I don't taste any cinnamon. But, I am going to wait until I get a new atty/cart/cartomizer/etc to give a full opinion.

Red Titan Energy (60/40, 16mg)- Of course I had to try their Red Bull flavor. It just wouldn't be the same if I didn't. As soon as you open the bottle, you know it's Red Bull. Me and Matt actually stopped to get Red Bull after just smelling it because it smelled so good. Taste wise- It is the best Red Bull liquid I've tried thus far. This IS Red Bull. This is what a Red Bull juice should taste like. Now only if we could find a way to make it cold.... ;)

So basically; These juices are true to flavor. If you want that real cigarette taste, I will pretty much always point you to Titan Vapors from now on. I personally don't care for "real" cigarette flavors, but these are super good and spot on in flavor!

Stay tuned in the next couple of days for a full VIDEO review on the Titan Vapors listed above, as well as a few new units that will be in any day.

Happy Vaping!

Back from Hiatus!

2012-02-03T12:06:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone, well, here I am again! At least in blog form for now. I am coming out of my hiatus, and back to the wold of e-cigarettes (right where I belong!). I've really missed the great community that comes with vaping, and I'm excited to be back. Look for videos in the coming weeks, as well as blog posts soon to come.

If you have any questions, requests, comments, etc, please send me an e-mail and I'll see what we can do :)

Long Time No See!

2011-10-10T13:40:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone! So it's been quite awhile since I've posted or even made a video. I want to apologize for being absent, but life gets in the way sometimes, and you can't blame anyone for that. I can't say I'm back for real, but i did just want to update everyone on life and give you a peek into my e-cigarette collection since you've all been waiting so patiently for it. Oh and in the GIF of me I'm using a Colibri.

If you want to know what anything is specifically, please leave a comment below.

this is all the stuff I keep in my pink tackle box. Tons of carts, a few batteries, dead attys, etc.

This isn't everything but it's about as complete as it'll get! I have others floating around else where (for example, my father has been borrowing my Miami E-Cig, and my mother has been using my other blue 808 with the PCC)

I figured that since I was cleaning it all anyway (wiping things down and reorganizing, etc) I'd snap some pictures for you guys.

Keep vaping!

So Much Going On!

2011-06-26T16:26:00.000-07:00

I have posted quite a few videos, and have recorded videos waiting to be posted...You guys will not believe the amount of stuff going on lately! I will be posting a video just about every day for the next few days to space it out so you aren't too overwhelmed. I honestly love every single unit that I have reviewed for you guys, and you know that if I didn't, I wouldn't post it! I am always 100% honest in all of my videos, and this is something I really want everyone to understand.
If I were sent a model that I did not like, or that did not perform to my standards, I wouldn't even make a video of it. Although the majority of e-cigarettes that I review are sent to me for consideration by companies, I would never waste anyone's time with a model that I didn't think met a high standard. Any models I do have problems with, I talk to the supplier and usually things get sorted out. Normally it's something silly like I happened to get the one bum atomizer or something like that. But I have turned down offers and models because I didn't think they would be anything worth getting you guys into.
But I know that with SO many videos being posted, I will get a message or two about sincerity. I use every single e-cigarette that I review. And I don't just use them to review them, I use them because I enjoy them! So please, in watching these videos, you are not only seeing an HONEST review, but you're seeing pieces that I am proud to own and am happy to show off an use. I try my hardest to not sound like a commercial because I know how annoying it can be, but I do want to show you how well they work and what I love about them. I truly love to vape, and I love what I do, and all I want is to help everyone else in the quest for the perfect e-cigarette (whatever perfect may mean to you!)

I love each unit I have reviewed for you guys for what they are and I intend to continue bringing everyone HONEST reviews. Not every e-cigarette is alike, and I want to bring you guys a large diverse set of units that you can compare side by side and get the e-cig YOU want!

I also want to say THANK YOU to all of my viewers and readers, I appreciate all of your thoughts and your viewership! If you have any ideas, questions, requests, etc, please feel free to leave a message in the comments below!

ePuffer Colibri

2011-06-23T15:48:00.000-07:00

Check out this little unit! I cannot get over this thing. I think I tell my boyfriend every time I use it that I'm astounded how much it feels like I am opening up a real pack of cigarettes and having a real one! It's incredible! It's a great little unit with a perfectly sized travel pack (I love that it carries so many extras!). This is a must get for any newbie or seasoned vaper!

Viewer Question:

2011-06-09T18:24:00.000-07:00

Question from: fragzem@**********

Liz, I see you constantly using inferior e-cigs. (except for the eGo)
Are you a member at vapersforum.com, e-cigarette-forum.com, or any other vape related forum? You should be using a Provari by now or a GG Slim, not stuck on the eGo in 2011. :)

my favorite vendor, www.cloudsofvapor.com - bruce will hook you up everytime, and he's right in NJ, should get to you quick upstate

Sorry but I'm watching your vids and slapping my forehead going "Why is she using this archaic device?"

A: That's mainly because right now I am only reviewing on terms of a trade in product. Companies contact me regularly, and I contact a select few on the rare occasion, and they send me a product to review. I would love love love to have a Provari or something equally as awesome, but the opprotunity has never come up. Besides I really love two pieces like I have currently been using. I will say the eGo is not my favorite, but one I have been wanting for a long time. I appreciate all models for what they are, and I enjoy reviewing the products that I do. While I try and review only the best, I can only work with what I've got, and I've been so lucky as to be able to review the best of the "older generation". I do have some newer new models coming in though :)

E-Liquid; Nicotine Levels VS Real Cigarette Nicotine Levels, and about Nicotine!

2011-06-08T16:41:00.000-07:00

I have different levels of nic, but am very soon going down to 0g and try to get off nicotine and just vape for fun, but, I recently had a viewer ask what level I vape on, and what she should start at coming off of a Marb Light. I have been getting a lot of questions about e-liquids lately, so, I figured I would start posting more on them. I'm going to get a little complicated for a second, so bare with me...

E-Liquid and Cigarettes:
A regular cigarette has about 7-15mg of nicotine in it, however due to burn off you only absorb about 1mg of nicotine from it (but varies depending on brand. You can find your brand's levels on its respective website).A standard cart usually holds 1ml of liquid. Smaller units like a 901 holds about .5mg of liquid, and larger ones can be up to 3+. Taking the 901 as an example, if you were to get a bottle of 6mg liquid, you'd be smoking at about 3mg of nicotine per .5ml cartridge which should last at least 2 vape sessions, generally. This would be most equivalent to a normal cigarette. Some people like having more because they vape half as long. However, some people use a higher nic, and vape very often because of it. It depends on what you feel comfortable doing. If you feel like you need more, go up a step and try to get an 8 or 10.

Nicotine:
Nicotine is classified as a stimulant drug and must be used with caution. A person should never start smoking e-cigarettes with nicotine if they are not a current smoker. Nicotine is addictive, but they do sell 0mg e-liquids! However, if you are a current smoker, and are afraid to leave nicotine just yet, don't fret! Numerous products include nicotine that are approved by the FDA (usually for the use of quitting smoking). But remember, it is still a drug, and if ingested could be deadly. Being a stimulant, over use of nicotine can cause heart palpitations, sweating, dizziness, and the jitters. These aren't cause for alarm, just set down the e-cig and take a break. And remember, I am not a doctor! These facts are however pulled from various government and .org sites for validation.

E-Liquid

2011-05-28T08:23:00.000-07:00

Cherry e-liquid from MystMasters. Hear about it here.

E-Liquid isn't a very new thing, but to those new to the e-cig world, it can seem almost foreign. I'm going to try my best to explain e-liquid, how to use it, why use it, and everything in between. Not everyone likes to drip, but for some they couldn't live without it.

Click the cut to learn all about E-liq!

What is E-Liquid?

Wiki says this;

Liquid solution consists of flavoring and/or nicotine dissolved in one or several hygroscopic components, which turns the water in the solution into the smoke-like vapour when heated. The most commonly used hygroscopic components are propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin or polyethylene glycol 400, usually referred to as PG, VG and PEG 400 respectively. All three are common food additives and used in a variety of pharmaceutical formulations. Since concerns have been raised by various opponent groups regarding the safety of inhaling these substances, it has been pointed out by proponents that PG has been used as an additive in asthma inhalers and nebulizers since the 1950s, with no serious adverse side effects, and because of its water-retaining properties, is the compound of choice for delivering atomized medication. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) includes propylene glycol on its list of substances Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS), and it meets the requirements of acceptable compounds within Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

Or, in simpler terms, liquid nicotine, water, and something found in toothpaste. When it gets hot it turns into vapor, creating the smoke-like effect.

Why E-Liquid?
A few reasons.
Number one, it is more cost efficient. Dripping your own can make your cartridges last longer (they're also cheaper when bought empty), and its overall cheaper to buy liquid than prefilled carts. Plus it puts all your one-time-only carts to good use.
And two, there's more flavors. There's tons of flavors out there only available in liquid form. Even kinds like roast beef, and bacon. You can get almost any flavor you could imagine, and you are able to mix the flavors together. Hey, you can even make your own e-liquid if you really wanted to. E-liquid is more convenient for some people, cheaper, and better quality than prefilled cartridges.

How do I choose a flavor?
It's hard at first, really. You have to remember that the e-cigarette is cleaner than an analog cigarette. When you purchase a tobacco flavor, it will taste more "pure" and "cleaner", something as a smoker you are not going to be used to. Every first timer will probably cough, but you get used to it after the first or second inhale. Some people may not even taste too much at first. And if you don't get a good liquid, you won't taste much at all. Get a sampler pack if you can, or get a few of the smallest size they have of different flavors. That way you can try different ones, and if you don't like one, you're not wasting a lot, nor are you out a flavor until you get a new one.
Try a few "normal" flavors, like tobacco and menthol, then maybe something like cherry or apple, and maybe a "specialty" like coffee, or maybe waffles, or bourbon. Anything you think you'd like, give it a try.

Where should I buy E-Liquid?
Well, if you're buying your first kit, get liquid from your supplier, it's just easier that way to test it out. Then branch out from there. I haven't tried many brands at all, and it's not like e-cigarettes themselves where I can just say how it works universally, most e-liquids are made by the supplier. So you're going to have to shop around. Right now, I use the e-liquid from MystMasters which is so far the best e-liquid out of 4 brands that I have tried. People also really seem to like Totally Wicked E Liquid and they have a big reputation around the e-cig world.

Now that you know about e-liquid, it's all about how. And it's simple. All you do is remove the cartridge from your e-cigarette, and drip liquid into the fiber material inside. Don't overflow it! But if you do, just take a tissue and absorb the extra off. You'll know you need to refill when you're getting less vapor, and the vapor you do get tastes dirty, burned, or just plain not good.
To refill a cartomizer, drip it into the tiny hole on the bottom/battery side. Let each drop absorb in before you place another. clean up all the edges afterwards. Shake the cartomizer a little bit to try and get all the juice flowing throughout the fibers. Attach it to your battery, and you're good to go!

I hope that this was helpful to you, and if there are any other e-liquid questions let me know in the comments!

Wish List!

2011-05-27T09:50:00.000-07:00

Vaping and blogging with my eGo. And since this is also a beauty blog, check the new nail color.
Wet 'n Wild Fast Dry "The Wonder Years" two coats and BAM. Sunshiney yellow.

This was a favorite post of mine as well as many other people's. This is a list where I keep all the e-cigs, parts, and accessories I really would love to have. This list serves two purposes; One, so everyone can see what I'm into and get some ideas themselves, and Two, so I can keep a list of links and descriptions for personal use later! To see any of these products mentioned, simply click on their name and it will take you directly to the page! This list is ever changing, I'll usually let you know when I post a new one, but in case I don't, remember to check back often! If I ever get any of these, I will be sure to link the video here as well!

So here it goes, in absolutely no order other than the order I find them in;
My Wish List under the cut!

Vapor4Life- The Ultimate Starting Ki t- This is the COOLEST starter kit I have ever seen. Number one it's only $69, and for the amount of customization, it's totally worth it. You can pick two batteries (Mine would be a Short Automatic in Metallic Green and a Single Logo Manual in Metallic Purple), a Passthrough(!!! I know right) in either auto or manual (My choice is manual, cut off is longer!), a carrying case (I'll take mine in Lavender please, haha), and then scroll through 6 pages of flavors and pick a box of cartomizers (I'm picking 3...chocolate banana and peanut butter cup and red energy!).
Vapography- EVERYTHING. I don't think you understand, this is the coolest e-cigarette site for girls. Accessories for your accessories, and we all know we love it. Charms, Diamond Wraps (NEED), it's all here. Finally.
My Vapor Store- SparkPlug Starter Kit- HAVE YOU SEEN THIS THING?! And it's only $38.90 so it's not even $40. It's huge and supposed to last a long time and is apart of the "SteamPunk" family (I'll explain in my "Slang" post). And how cool would that be. Honestly.
My Vapor Store- KR808D1- I need these. I honestly feel the need to have these. I want a metallic blue one please. Oh and I would get packs of empty cartomizers and fill them with some 0g liq of something delish. Oh I am just so in love with this thing.
NU Cig USA- Advanced Pro 3 Kit Pink E Cig- It probably won't be the best e-cig in the entire world, but come on. It's cute, pink, has a cigarette case and looks just like a real cigarette (hey they have pink ones in France!).
Electro Vapors- EV Custom 510 Manual Kit- It is. So. Cute. I wanted to branch out from pink but then I saw this and well... it's beautiful. And it sounds like an awesome little unit. Also, they have my favorite case in red (when will someone learn to get pink???), oh and did I mention a solar charger? What was I just saying about "no excuses".....
BoxMods-Little Sister Variable Voltage- It's a box mod, the size of a bic lighter, and comes in pretty colors. I don't even know which one I want :x It doesn't come with anything, so I'd still need to get two high drain batteries with a charger, and an atomizer and some carts (that I'll find matching colors for else where)
NHaler- XS-Haler- WHY MUST YOU MAKE ME CHOOSE?! This is the most beautiful website I've ever laid eyes on. Magnificent. Glorious. I'll take one in black sparkel (24), and hot pink diamond plate (9), and I would kill for the #12 which looks like a glittery pink in the up close photos but it's not on the list (my heart just broke!) but alas....Black sparkles are good enough...sigh.
Spark Plug For Smokers- Though temporarily out of stock...Guys, its a PINK spark plug. Genius!
Ploom- Model 1 and all accessories- This is NOT an e-cig, its a personal VAPORIZER for tobacco.. other than that, I have no idea what it is....but I like it. It's based on the idea of a hookah, and is fueled with butane. And I have no idea what a "pod" is but I want naked and cafe noire.
First Vapor- vGo Battery in Blue- It's just too pretty. And it has a gem button. Uh...hello.
Vapor4Life- Diamond and Stealth Series batteries- Ok, these have got to be the coolest battery designs ever. First off the diamond tipped e-cig we all know I've been pining for, preferably in pink, for course. As for Stealth, I'll take the blue in XL, they don't come with an LED but that's part of the allure.
Modern Vapor- Sidesho Supreme Kit- this is one MASSIVE kit. $130 may seem steep until you see it comes with three complete e cigs in some REALLY cute colors (I think white and pink is my fave but black and pink is good...so is green and black...hmm...) and 10ml of juice, 10 pre filled carts, 5 empty carts, a pass through, a personal charging case, and yeah, there is even more than that. Can you say absolutely NEED?!
eSmoke Club- eLiquid DIY Mixing Kit-Ultimate- Everything you need to start mixing your own liquids and at a super good price.

No Power? No Problem!

enjoying a drag off the SLIM listening to the hum of generators

Due to recent events (read: my power is out and I am leeching my absent neighbor's generator/internet supply) I wanted to write a short blurb about e-cigarettes and power outages!

A lot of people have said to me that the e-cig is cool, but they die. I get the line "I don't have to charge one of these! I just light it and I'm good to go!" while showing me an analog. Then I kindly remind them they need fire so, we're even. But there is NO reason to revert to analogs just because you have no power!
So what if your e-cigarette dies on the run, or worse, a power outage like I'm in! Here are my tips for charging;

Always have a spare. Always have a spare battery that is always charged, or multiple batteries if the case may be. If you're going on a long hike, shopping trip, etc, make sure to carry extras.
If there is a power outage, immediately plug in as many e-cigs as you can to laptops running on battery. As long as the laptop remains on it will continue charging the e-cigs. Disadvantage; your laptop is going to die because it's on and charging things (My ipod as well!). Tip; darken your screen to save life.
Get a car charger!!! These babies are life savers. All you need is a car charger that has a USB port on it. Plug it in on the go (or in an outage) and BAM cigarette is charged. I used to have one charging every day on the way to and from school.
No USB? No problem. Whether you're out a USB cord or a USB port, or even both, here's another solution; If you have a plug that is purely an outlet charger, plug it into the car. Ok, that sounds weird. Get a conversion box, I have a mini one with two outlets and a USB port, and plug it into your car, then plug the wall charger into there! BAM! Works for iPod touches, too, if you happen to have an Apple wall charger adapter!

Still no power source? Either your car is dead also or you're not trying hard enough. Go someplace where they have outlets or computers, or someplace with a generator who will let you use an outlet. Something. Again, there is no reason to go back to old ways. If you honestly cannot charge your e-cigarette...suck it up! Chew some gum, eat some fruit or veggies, suck on a lollipop; whatever. I'm sure its about time to go to bed when all the e-cigs are dead, anyway ;)

Keep these ideas in mind, remember, and e-cig life is ALWAYS possible!!!

Happy Vaping!

E-Cigarette Shopping on a Budget!

2011-05-26T10:44:00.000-07:00

Quitting smoking analog cigarettes and switching to e-cigs will save you money right off the bat. After your first initial purchase, you're probably only spending a few dollars a month instead of hundreds! There are tons of different options out there, and it can get overwhelming, and confusing. But have no fear! I am going to break it down as easily as I can! Is there something you need I haven't covered here? Feel free to let me know in a comment below or an e-mail!

I got a letter from a viewer looking for the cheapest e-cigarette kit you could find, and was most like a cigarette, and I don't do anything on here half-assed! So here are my tips, tricks, and kits that can save you money!

The Cheapest I Can Find, But Don't Recommend:
There are a lot that have the colors of a cigarette, but are often much thicker and heavier than a real cigarette and most e-cigarettes. If you want something the most like a cigarette and is cheap, regardless of quality, the best choice is dealextreme.com (and I have a video on that which I'll link here) but that comes from Hong Kong, so it takes time to get here, and I don't know where to get replacement atomizers other than buying a whole new one.The plus side is they're only $10 or so, and cartridge refills are only $3 for 20, and free shipping...they also have different kinds that look more like an ecig that are the e-health (again I have a video on that one as well, different site though), and can be cheaper or a few dollars more, but again, Hong Kong....I don't know how long it'll last you, I don't often use mine in case it doesn't have a long life. This is not my first choice for an e-cigarette at all. But if you're just testing the waters and don't mind a 4 week wait, then have at it.

Other than that, from America I think the best bet would be a 901. 901s are the size of a pen, lighter weight than other e-cigs, and good for beginners. They are honestly a favorite and I recommend them to anyone starting into the e-cig life. They are cheap but great quality, and parts are sold by everyone so getting replacements is a snap. Start with just the basics;

You can easily go to other sites to find CHEAP replacements that will fit no matter the "brand", parts are universal and often come in the exact same packaging just with a new name. So get the kit that fits what you need and worry about replacements later.
Kits should include: 2 FULL E-cigarettes (2 batteries, 2 atomizers). A pack of cartridges (empty or prefilled) IF YOU PLAN TO DRIP it should come with e-liquid, if you don't this does not matter. And a USB charger. If you have the option, drop any extras to save money. However cheap ones usually only have one atomizer. This is ok, by a spare elsewhere for cheaper if you can.
To save even MORE money, but a single kit. However, you must remember this means you will have only one battery, and one atomizer. While you wait for it to charge, you will not have a spare.
You only need the USB charger. It plugs into any computer. House chargers are a plug (no cords) with a USB port, which a lot of cell phones come with now, so check if you have one. And car chargers are the same thing just a plug with a USB port, and you can always find them extremely cheap all over including in stores.
You don't need a case. Though they can come in handy. If you watch one of my e-cig storage videos, I show you some ways I held mine. I used a case I found for a DOLLAR. No need to pay $10 extra just for a case. Unless you want one specifically for e-cigs, the add on is not necessary.

More Money Saving Tips:

If the kit comes with 2 atomizers, only use one. Store the second atomizer as a spare, and switch the current one between the two batteries. This way they die out one at a time so you have a chance to order more, instead of dying at the same time.
Refill the fiber in your own cartridges. This isn't a favorite of mine at all. I've tried it, and use it when I'm running low and can't afford to get any right that moment. They don't hold as much as factory made, or at least not as well. And it takes a minute to figure out. I prefer to just get them from a shop. If you want to do this, all you need is a little polyfill. Time consuming, but cost effective.
Keep your atomizers clean. Keeping them clean will help them last longer. Though some atomizers were just destined to blow in a few days, most can be kept going for a month or more easily.
Use E-Liquid. It is SO much cheaper to put your own liquid in than it is to buy prefilled cartridges. You can use the same cartridge quite a few times before it gets too worn out to use any more if you fill your own.
Buying separate does NOT make things cheaper. Nor does it make it any easier. If you were to go to every site, and get one piece as cheap as you can find it... You would probably still come out way over budget just with shipping.
Try finding sales and specials. A lot of sites have coupon codes or special deals going on, be sure to use these to your full advantage if you can. Be sure to count the special (ex. 20% off) as the final price. Remember to take into consideration the length of time the sale is as well.

So those are the tips I have for you! Now, to put them to good use. I've compiled a list of websites with different kits, and varying prices, but are as cheap as you're going to find for a GOOD e-cigarette from a trusted company. However, I'm leaving it up to you to compare shipping, sales/specials, and location (I like to order closer to home so it gets here quicker!). I am keeping them all under $40. It may seem like a lot of money, but it is a one time purchase. After this you will be spending possibly $0-$15 a month at most.

Clean Safe Smoke- $27.50; 2 batteries, 1 atomizer, 5 cartridges.
eSmoke Club- $31.99; 2 batteries, 1 atomizer, 5 cartridges. Pick "Warehouse's Choice" for battery color if you don't care what color you get, and save $1!
MyVaporStore- $29; 2 batteries, 1 atomizer, 5 cartridges. (they also have other awesome looking kits, so watch for them in my "Wish List" post!)
E-Smokey Treats-$39.99; 2 batteries, 2 atomizers, 5 various strength cartridges.
Totally Wicked-$29.99; 2 batteries, 1 atomizer, 5 various strength cartridges.

And, there you have it. A modest list, yes, but its a good start. This will at least show you what you're looking for. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Don't go for the gimicky sites, stick with the more "mom and pop" type shops when you can, as well. The people are nicer, the products are usually the best, and you have much less of a chance to get scammed.

If there's anything else that you need to know, don't hesitate to leave a comment and I will do my best!

I wanted to address everyone as a whole so that we are all clear on everything;

I have gotten a few private messages about posts they would like to see. I have replied to each of these and I appreciate the messages! However, I ask for your patience as I lost all of my old articles and am only one person. These articles take a lot of time and research to get you the best information and websites that I can. I appreciate everyone's viewer and readership, and am working my hardest to get articles out as quickly as I can. I also realize that many of you were enjoying and using my past articles and that this has been an inconvenience to you. Again, I apologize, and these things will be replaces as fast as my little fingers can type (and research, and edit, and format.....).

I am currently working on separate posts for the following topics:
e-cigs on a budget, purchasing e-liquids, parts of an e-cigarette, how to care for an e-cigarette, e-cigarette slang, FAQ, my wishlist.

If there is anything you would like to see either within any of the previously mentioned articles or another topic all together, please leave a comment below and I will be happy to see what I can do!
I appreciate all of your messages and subscriptions and hope to see more of you in the future!
