Was not happy to find one of the batteries didn't work. Replacement is on its way.

Is there something smaller? More realistic?
I know there are others that are more 'cig-a-like' you can try an NJoy king disposable to see if that works, if so then invest in something closer to what you want. You can get those disposables at many convenience stores (i.e. 7-11)

Also, with *any* e-cig, you drag differently, instead of a short hard pull, you do need to go slower with less pull.

I tried NJoy first, it really does have the feel of cig. The problem is short battery life. It lasted me just a couple of hours before the battery died. By the way, when they say "equal to 1 pack", it's not really.

You can find several 'cig-a-likes' out there; NJoy and Green Smoke are the ones I've seen.

My first rechargeable was the Extreme, and I like it. I purposely wanted something that didn't look like a cig though. After I learned to pull slow and not as hard, I got a ton of vapor. I started with tobacco at 0 nicotine, then 6mg to increase the throat hit. I've been pretty happy with it.

I do have small hands and don't hold it the way I do a cigarette. The longer battery life was well worth the trade off for me, my extreme will last 1/2 a day (with the way I vape anyway).

Kobi, if you're really unsatisfied take advantage of the 30day money back guarantee; there's no reason to hold on to it if it's not working for you.
