started with the riva cig and it was good, just recently upgraded to the provari which is cool. It let's you pick which voltage to vape at. Hundreds and hundreds of different flavors of juice to pick from. Before I owned one I seen them at the mall way overpriced, they were selling for 100.00. You could get the same thing on internet for probably 30 or 40 dollars. Check out ecigaretteforum.com, lots of great info there.
I rather smoke the Real Deal. But when i was at the Airport last month... on my way to Las Vegas ... a guy was smoking one.
We had asked if that's one of those $30-$60 E-Cigs, he said no... he tried them and the One he likes the best came from 7-11, cost around $10 bucks ??
So i guess it depends on what people like. Forgot what he said he didn't like about the others, and Not sure of the Brand that 7-11 carries. But I guess you can go check it out.

FDA Says…
Electronic cigarettes may be dangerous to the health of those who use them. Diethylene glycol is deadly poisonous.
The Truth:
The FDA found one chemical, diethylene glycol, in only 1 of the 18 cartridges that they tested and it was at a concentration of much less than 1%. There is information that leads to proof of false info from the fda. information and testing that debunked the FDA is all over the internet that shows and obvious deception.
Diethylene glycol is used as a humectant in tobacco products such as cigarettes and the less than 1% concentration found in that single cartridge is no more dangerous than a cigarette.
These E-Cig manufacturers are mom and pop shops pretty much run from the garage. If you want to be a distributor you will need a very deep client base, a possible sales rep to go looking for people trying to quit smoking and learn how to mix your own juice.
When I place my reorder for my juice, carts and devices I usually spend around $125 every 3-4 months.

Have The Health Risks of E-cigarettes Been Underestimated? Alarming New Study Results Revealed
<!-- /at-tool -->Tags :electronic cigarettes, carcinogens, MRSA, e-cigarettes
(Photo : Getty Images/Dan Kitwood ) World Health Organisation has called for the regulation of Ecigarettes since studies have proven health risks
Engineers developed electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) several years ago to provide tobacco users a smoke-free source of nicotine. The devices heat up a liquid that a user inhales, or "vapes." Because e-cigarettes burn nothing, they release no smoke, reports ScienceNews.
E-cigarettes, marketed as safer than regular cigarettes, deliver a cocktail of toxic chemicals including carcinogens into the lungs. Using e-cigarettes may even make bacterial infections resistant to antibiotics, according to a new study published in Circulation.

"There's no question that a puff on an e-cigarette is less toxic than a puff on a regular cigarette," says Stanton Glantz, director of the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at the University of California, San Francisco. "But few studies have looked at the toxicity of their vapors."
Glantz and his team pored over emerging data on what vapers are inhaled. They discovered E-cigarettes deliver high levels of nanoparticles which can trigger inflammation and have been linked to asthma, stroke, heart disease, and diabetes. The levels "really raise concerns about heart disease and other chronic conditions where inflammation is involved," he says.
"People may think vaping is safe," said FDA's Priscilla Callahan-Lyon. She reviewed data from 18 studies on e-cigarettes' vapors and found that most contain at least traces of the solvents in which nicotine and flavorings had been dissolved. "Those solvents are known as lung irritants," she reports.
And the solvents can transform into something even more worrisome: carbonyls. This group includes known cancer-causing chemicals, such as formaldehyde, and suspected carcinogens, such as acetaldehyde, said Callahan-Lyon.
In addition to nicotine and solvents, vapors also contain chemical flavorings and food preservatives from the vaping liquid. Although they may be "generally recognized as safe" by FDA, Jonathan Thornburg of RTI International in Research Triangle Park, N.C. says, "the designation is based on tests of the compounds when they are ingested. No one has considered their safety when it comes to inhalation."
And e-cigarette vapors can even make dangerous germs harder to kill, Laura Crotty Alexander, a pulmonary and critical care physician and scientist with the VA San Diego Healthcare System, reported at an American Thoracic Society.
She exposed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, better known as MRSA, to e-cigarette vapors. One day later, mice getting vapor-exposed germs had three times as many bacteria growing in their lungs as did mice that got unexposed germs. The germs exposed to nicotine-rich vapors secreted a thicker biofilm coating that protected them.
"We started these studies so that we could advise our smoking patients on whether they should try switching to e-cigarettes," she says. "My data now indicate they might be the lesser of the two evils. But e-cigarettes are definitely not benign."
