Any good ones? I researched a year or so ago and all the brands seemed a little bit..sketchy.

eGo-T is amazingly close to actual smoking. Get a tank upgrade like the Vivi-Nova and boom, you get a hit so strong you might cough at first.

  For non-smokers, less is more... nicotine is a pretty powerful stimulant, you don't necessarily want strong hits. My 2¢. (I am a non-smoker; have tried 2mg and 4mg gum, and find 4mg similar in some ways to having a 'bad trip'. (Light-headedness, freaking out, nausea, time-dilation.))

    I also gave lozenges a try after reading an article here, and found 2mg to be too much, at first. You get used to it, though.

    true, as a smoker trying to ween myself to something a bit safer that lack of hit is what annoyed me with other e-cig solutions I tried. The nova tank though is a very tolerable substitute to actual smoking. If I was a non-smoker though I would not start a nicotine habit at all. I wish I had never started smoking, it's a very difficult habit to reverse.

      Anecdotal, but as a non-smoker, I don't find any withdrawal or cravings symptoms at all when I stop consuming nicotine. It's milder than stopping caffeine.

I have an EVO-D battery with a vivi nova atomizer tank. This works pretty well for me. You can switch out the vaporizer coils to make sure you get a nice fresh one, and the replacement coils are really cheap. You're going to want 2 batteries so that you can charge one while using the other. They charge with USB.

Running an Ego C Twist + Vivi Nova right now. Two batteries, a charger, and the vivi nova came about to about $40. Plus some juice, ended up at about $60 ( I got a lot of juice though). /r/electronic_cigarettes has a pretty good FAQ on these types of things, ignore their ridiculous $200 setups though, a bit overkill IMO.
