    smoke green vs green smoke

    Honestly - probably neither :p

    None of the cig-alikes give half as much satisfaction as something like an EGO battery and a refillable tank, yes its bigger than a regular cigarette, but also got about 3 times the battery life and can burn hotter/longer = more satisfying "smoke"

    On your other question though, SOME carts are interchangeable with some batteries - its hit and miss with cig-alikes even though they are the same screw fitting have different connector heights.

    However pretty much any 510 cartridge or tank will fit on another 510 battery.

    I'm sure one of the guys will chime in with the highly recommend ego started kit around these parts ;)

    Would go for a kit like the below rather than a cigalike. There's really no comparison when it comes to performance and battery life between the two.

    If you have made your mind up to stay with a cigalike then the one below is probably one of the best and handiest and a great price tbh with 80 mls of liquid.

    Also you can chang. Any cartridges that have a 510 connection, however outbid much cheaper and tastier to buy some eliquid and refill the cartridges ( cartomizers ) yourself .

    Better deal - guaranteed genuine Joyetech batteries and what amounts to almost €30 worth of eliquid plus a carry case and choice of clearomizers;

    I tried many of the e cigarettes on my start year ago, tried green smokes as well and I can confirm that using original joytech ecigarretes is the best experience. you have long way to do, order the right ecigarrete, start playing with different kinds of catomizers & the most importent is to finding the good place to get the best liquids.
    Long & fascinating journey :)

    I bought from this site...standard service...you buy they deliver... delivered in 48 hours....

    Didn't really read the crazy claims... but I looked over the site again ... the mom and pop with kid wasn't there when I ordered and does seem a little erm... contentious... to say the least... I think they are clearly trying to wind some folks up...

    But I cant find any crazy claims to be honest... then again I didn't know what you were referring to.

    You'd have to agree with this eGo is the way to go... but folks want an interim and the cigalikes give that... y'know this yourself... you packed in the fags...so did I...and doubtless your first vaping unit was a cigalike too! Its a learning process and I think a good cigalike enables that....

    I know that ... I did start on pre-filled cig-alikes, and spent a bloody fortune on them just to end up giving myself an excuse to go back on the fags in no-time due to them:

    1. Lasting 2 hours between uses.
    2. Filler Burning quickly.
    3. Crappy Taste (off pre-filled carts).
    4. Not enough heat in the vapor & too much at the tip.

    Basically all of the above combined did not satisfy the cravings whatsoever.

    I find the cig-alikes are a bit like eating salads every meal when you are on a diet, but you can only convince yourself for so long that they actually taste good before reverting to a big steak and chips.≈

    Are the cig-alikes a learning process ? perhaps, if the person using them:

    1. Is genuinely 100% wanting off the fags and is willing to get only 50% of the satisfaction of fags.
    2. Is fully aware its literally a short term "get you by" disposable and they WILL be upgrading.

    I've seen more people give up vaping, and will never try again because of bad experience with cig-alikes, and their attitude is basically "I tried them things, never worked".

    I just hate to see someone else throw their money down the drain on a 3 euro cig-alike in a 30 euro package. (yes, you can get them for appx $4 or less boxed with a charger and 5 pre-filled carts from the factory with your own branding over 500 pcs).

    At least with an EGO battery you have the option of:

    1. Bazillion tanks, clears, RBA's.
    2. Decent wattage which means descent heat, and decent vapor
    3. Most of all, you change your smoking habit completely, the hand to mouth action is there, but not exactly the same. My personal feeling on this is that it feels FAR weirder to smoke a cigarette after a short time with an ego (or other mod) and you are less inclined to go back on them.

    We all did... so I suppose you could say e-cigs are a gateway alright...to better ecigs.

    It rately the case that anyone buys an ego or mod as their first step into vaping... and the VIP, Green Smoke and cigalike way is the intro... I'll admit it is not perfect.... and most of those folks have a bad experience... I did that the very reason I packed in the cigalikes for a vamo...

    But for every me or you there are likely 10 that end up back on the fags...

    Personally I think vaping is a lot better than no vaping or no fags... but thats just me.... (ohha and millions like me...and prob you)

    On that, a rather funny story... a friend of mine decided to pay me a visit a while back and as a smoker asked if he could 'have a bash' at the old e-cig malarkey... So there he was sitting in my computer room having a vape, and I sort of forgot about him for a few minutes while I was fraggin a few polygons on the old xbox... and looking about rather worryingly... and then asked if I had an ashtray.... [rolls eyes]

    That was on a standard ego...looks nothing like an cigarette or cigalike...and still he considered somehow he might need a piece of kit we no longer use in our house. Not to mention he still hadn't worked out there was no ash... with the bloody thing sitting in his hand....

    The main thing is to kick the cig's ;) so good stuff.

    You don't have to go further with vaping gear, but I would say, if you plan to keep buying the smoke greens, they're as expensive as other options.

    I started on the smoke greens myself, just over a year ago :) Not one cig smoked in that time. I was on them for about 2 months before I started to really look into other alternatives - I found I was flying though packs of their carts, and at 8.99 a go, and had to buy a few spare batteries on top because they kept dying - it wasn't exactly cheap towards a good ego starting kit, for example.

    Anyways, keep it up, whichever way you choose to go.

    What type of flavours do you like?

    For tobaccos I'd go here. Being natural extractions they're the most authentic, but you have to be using a clearo with replaceable coils/heads or else buying new clearos will get expensive because those juices gunk coils fast.

    Juicy Fruit Stripe from ESI tastes like Juicy Fruit gum.
