Hey All (Newbie Here), great site, was looking for help and reviews on google and stumbled here. It's good to see a wealth of information, that is honest and unbiased.

So here's my dilemma....

Obviously I'm new to vapping. I tried a few friends e-cigs and didn't really rate them, but last Friday, I bit the bullet and bought an Intellicig Disposable (supposedly 30 cigs worth). I quite liked the throat hit, but there was no flavour from it. It didn't taste like cigarettes. Used it and I did cut my cigarette intake down. But I just felt a bit non-plussed, although I didn't crave a fag, I didn't get the satisfaction I was expecting from it. I counted 10 puffs (the amount that is supposed to be equivalent to a normal smokey cig), the battery failed at 10 cigs worth (100 puffs, not the 350 puffs advertised). It cost me £9.99 for 10 cigs (soon be saving for that round the world cruise won't I ?!!!). I emailed Intellicig directly and they kindly sent out 3 more replacement disposables, they came yesterday and I've had exactly the same experience with the first one I've used. It seems the battery fails on them, as there is plenty of vap on the first inhale, then the LED flashes and there's nothing coming from it. While waiting for the replacements to arrive, I tried the 10 Motives disposables (from Tesco kiosk at £5.99 each), in both menthol and normal tobacco flavours, they have lasted loads longer.. The menthol one tastes lovely (strange as I hate Menthol Cigarettes), but the normal (tobacco) flavour is sooo sweet, it's hideous, makes me want to yak at the taste. The menthol one lasted me 2 days use (I normally smoke around 15 a day, so this was right). The tobacco flavour one is still going, I've not really used this because of the taste.

Never the less, the Intellicig nightmare has not put me off. What I want to do is go the step up and get the full kit, atomizer, carts, recharger etc. But it's so damned confusing. There's so many companies out there offering "the most realistic" vap. I actually visited an E-Lite stall at my local Westfield, I was semi impressed, but they make you use the hygiene tips, which seem to make it a rather chokey vap. The Rep was a bit pushy, with things like "it's the most consistent, yadah, yadah, yadah. But again, they didn't really give me the satisfaction I want. The E-Lite kind of reminded me of the Nicorette Inhalator things (ya know that powdery feeling on your throat that makes you choke). I then visited the ViP E-Cig kiosk in the same Mall. They was absolute rubbish. I think it was actually fresh air that was coming through, not vapour (and these didn't use hygiene tips, just a dettol wipe between users).

I've watched a lot of videos.. But as I say I'm confused. I want, a nice consistent, tobacco flavoured vap, that's as identical to a normal cigarette as it can be. I don't want to feel choked up with each inhalation. I want a good yield of vap on exhaling. Flavour and quality are key to me. Any recommendations? I've heard the Janty is good, but that was in a Youtube video, by an American, can we get the Janty over here? If so, do any of you use it? Would it fulfill my needs?

Then do I go refillable carts, or just buy the pre-filled carts? What's best? Which is most consistent? I know refilling the liquid is cheaper, but is it as safe?

Apologies for the length, but I am so confused and I really need a helping hand from people who actually use this method. I am not being fussy, but it's a pretty large sum of cash to shell out, so I don't want to have to keep shelling out to find the right atomizer/brand. I so want to give up smoking, but I have tried most variations of quitting, but I feel Vapping is most definitely the way forward for me.

Anyways, thanks for any help in advance. I'd really appreciate it if anyone has any similar stories and found solutions etc. Cheers Guys
