Best E-cig Manufacturer?

[lickwid]

We're planning to stock hardware to sell alongside with our e-liquids and we'd really appreciate your opinions on which of the following hardware brands are the best.

We're likely to stock different models for whatever brands we end up going with to fit different user's needs; basic eGo style e-cigs, right up to the more advanced models, as well as spares and upgrades, so if you'd like to comment on any specific models please post below.

We're looking into the 5 manufacturers listed, but if there's anything you think we've left off the poll please let us know!


Many Thanks

Aspire nautilus tanks

It really depends on what you are looking at - different brands have different strengths and weaknesses in different aspects of hardware.

Of those that you've mentioned - Kanger probably make the best tanks (although I too am very sold on the new Aspire Mini Nautilus), Innokin the best range of VV/VW mods (rubbish tanks though, unless you like top coils of course, in which case the make the best!), Joyetech along with Vision probably do the best ego style batteries but the rest of their hardware is pretty mediocre. Smok - actually I'd skip Smok, can't think of anything they excel at. I do like the Anyvape Davide range of tanks but can't think of much else they do well.

I wouldn't just commit to one brand if I were you

Can I be honest? (Yes, djs)

I can't honestly say that anything I have bought from Joyetech was worth the extra money. Their top end stuff is cheap tat which breaks far too quick and the vendors that then "get it in the neck" from the customers are not supported by Joyetech - presumably because Joyetech like to pretend there are only about 4 genuine vendors in the UK. Joyetech UK, TW, TECC are more or less all the same mafia.

Kanger are great, it seems to me, but the big stuff (mods) is all new and we don't know much yet.
Innokin are excellent i.m.o.
Smok are fine too, but half their clearomiser range is a disaster.

You haven't mentioned Vision. I have lots of Vision stuff (not mods) and have no complaints.

If you go on forums like I do you'll find the double evod kit is the go-to choice for recommendations to newbies. Not stocking that would be a disaster.

So, I'd go

Kanger ego/evod kits. Innokin mods. A couple of 18650 tube mods...and the best of the current clearos.

Thank you, that helps a lot. Will definitely give that some thought.

No problem. Given I've been vaping your "Prime Lime" in a mini Nautilus today (on an 18650 SID tube), got to recommend that sort of kit.

Aspire nautilus tanks

I agree with igual, if you can stock nautilus tanks at a relatively cheap price, especially mini tanks or even just the new coils, I'm sure they'd sell like hotcakes!

Hi @djs, how is the prime lime? Its the only one I haven't tried, but my Dad said he didn't like it. However, he also said that he didn't like lickwid peppermint candy, and that's my ADV, so I'll be sure to put a few bottles of prime lime in with my next purchase either way

[tracerace1]

innokin all the way for me guys

I especially like the itaste vv3 and iclear 16's. which are a nice size for us ladies
but joytech a very close second for quality stuff that lasts! my bro still got his original ego c kit [joytech genuine] from 2 yrs ago and still it carries on charging!
so although it seems a lot of money.......its out lasted many cheaper versions, by far

[blakey]

Innokin are soon to be using genuine evolv dna boards in their mods so one to be on board with plus they are inventive
Kanger make good tanks that are very popular
anyvape (aspire) make excellent and very popular tanks
Vision make good VV batteries IE the spinner
At the moment smok are lagging somewhat but are developing so you can't rule them out.
Joyetech make popular batteries, twist ect

That's awesome, thank you I've had my eye on the SMOK SID so it'll probably be making the shortlist

Really good analysis of the choices given, thanks. I've copied all that down

[thatguy]

If you're going for one manufacturer of tanks, I'd have to say Kanger. They are great bits of kit and cover the whole spectrum of users, from low cost evods to midrange protanks and higher end aerotanks. The airflow controllers are also great for the protanks. The fact they are easy to recoil will also make them popular.

As for mods, I'd have to say a single manufacturer could be a mistake. Seems like MVPs and vamos will always be good sellers at the lower end. Too many mod makers dont have a wide enough range to cover what all users require.

[igual]

The innokin MVP v2 is a great bit of kit.
The innokin 30s 30 b are OK but not the best.
Smoke magneto mech mod is a good piece of kit nice weight to it and well made.
Manger/jioytecc I have never used
