Recommendations for cig a like please

[boxoffrogs]

Hi all, I am new to the forum and I would appreciate some suggestions.

I currently use an Ego with a clearomiser whilst at home but I am too self conscious to use this when out and about. Also I am worried about the liquid running out into my handbag.

When out and about I have been using a V2 and refilling the cartomisers but I have been having problems with their new intelligent batteries. I am looking for an alternative cigalike (2 piece) that performs well. It doesn't have to be white, it is the size that matters to me!

So far I have tried the following:

Skycig - wasn't impressed with their battery life and the cartomisers leaked
Jacvapour - the battery didn't seem to have much oomph and (girly comment I know) just looks too functional
Smart Cigs - don't get me started on this one but poor quality and the holes in the battery too small to get a decent drag (bit like trying to drink a McD milkshake when you turn your lungs inside out)

I know that I am sacrificing battery life but that is a compromise I am prepared to make as I am just too shy to draw attention to myself (and yes I also stand outside even though I don't have to).

I would really like a pretty, dainty kit but apart from Vapour Couture (hideously expensive) they don't seem to exist. I can't be the only girl who has got into vaping who wants something like this.

Sorry, I don't know how to use these icons so this is a very plain post.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received as I can't afford to keep buying different kits.

Hi boxoffrogs,

Just to say, decent Clearomisers shouldn't leak, I use ego compatible ones and never had leakage even when storing them in my pocket and they are full.

For cig-a-like ones I used to use a 10 motives rechargable.
It was OK but the battery life was terrible (ok if you have constant access to a USB port like I do but I guess I had to charge it every couple of hours or so.)
They also don't mention the carts are refillable and being a newb I bought a load of replacement prefilled carts rather than a bottle of juice.
They were ok though, good throat hit and a decent amount of vapour, taste was like a tobacco caramel.
Not great but vapeable.

I ordered direct from 10 motives and the cig, spare battery and 5 prefils cost about the same as my 1100mah Riva kit (which kicks the arse out of the 10 motives.)

Aside from any on the list you have tried I would recommend the Innokin AIO. I reviewed this before and I loved the powder pink color. They come in black cigalike or white with the brownish filter. My mum has one I got her ages ago - it still works - the battery is small but the PCC is small and cute too, looks and feels extremely well made and high quality.

I don't sell this product I just reviewed it and it sprung to mind as a good possibility for you - I liked that the pcc looks like a cigarette box but was sleek and a nice finish unlike some other cig a like boxes/pcc's which you can see springs and things in....hope that made sense!

I'm afraid if you want dainty and girly you will never get that oomph you speak of cig a likes are nice but they will never perform like an ego/riva/larger battery. I have thought long and hard about ladies ecigs and tried hundreds at this stage but it is not a good idea to get too hung up on cig a likes and the perfect cig a like for me as they are an intro in my eyes - not a way of life

Couldn't have put it better myself.

I have a couple of these batteries for when I want to blend in. they are 280mAh so slightly better than some cig-a-likes. I can't comment on the full kit, i only bought the batteries to use with cartomisers

oooh good call karma they look nice mini ego batteries too could work if its simply mini size...I hadn't thought of a recommendation past a cig a like, do love my little SD...as long as theres no leaky atomisers involved that sounds like a great alternative

[flimflam]

Well it's not a cigalike, but you won't find much cuter than this:

Hello & welcome Boxoffrogs

I was going to post the same link as Karma to the SD key ring from e-cig wizard. It packs a punch for such a small e-cig & at the sale price, you can't go wrong.

The kanger t-3 bottom fead carto dont leak add a 350mah ego battery to it and its real small and compact, i fit in my money pocket on my jeans when i go down the pub, the battery last a good 3 hours of heavy use.

[giles]

Have you tried a decent (non-tank) carto? Boge SR for instance?

[djs]

I have a pair of Joyetech (VapeEscape) standard SLIM 510 batteries with 280mah.

www.vapeescape.co.uk/search.asp?types=Basic+Vaping+Kits+%3E+Joye+510+Mega+Starter+Kit

t.b.h. I WOULD NOT recommend buying as a kit (sorry VE.. >) but I WOULD recommend buying two batteries and a charger (about £24-ish)....off the accessories "area" of the website and then using standard cartos or mini clearos.


I have a main RIVA kit.
Out and about I have a choice of either these minis or my JacVapour kit. The minis are good and vape just like a Riva/eGo with a carto on. They just don't last very long.
To be honest, although the JacVapours are less powerful, I think I prefer them.

make of all that what you will..... ???

If you are really desperate to try something different that is small and vapes almost as good as a "proper" e-cig, a mini 510 is about as close as you can get.....in fact, a mini 510 with a mini clearo (Kanger M3) is what I'm using right now, writing this post.

Where are you located (generally, not your postcode! ) because I could let you try some of my stuff.

[lunerdog]

Another shout for the Innokin AIO here and you could try an SD Keyring Maxi.

Unfortunately cigalikes and other small battery mods tend to not hit very hard, I get round this by using a higher nic juice.

Just back in from work and amazed at how much advice I have received. Thank you all so much.

I think that I will be going for the Innokin AOI and I may try to customise the batteries to make them a bit prettier. Was thinking I could have a play with some nail art stickers, that would be OK wouldn't it? The outside of the battery does not get warm so I don't think they would do any damage.

[Sandra (aka Chillax)]

The AOI is the best cig a like I have tried, but buy a second battery so that one is always on charge in the box, when I had mine I upped my nic strength for better throat hit.
