Do's and Dont's for First Timers...from a Newbie

[PaporPlas]

I made the mistake of purchasing a kit from a kiosk at a mall as I was desperate to quit analogs...
Miserable stuff! Started doing homework as I should of on here and ordered a great starter kit,
Simple Starter Kit(I am not shilling for this company)
what a world of difference! I have been vaping for a couple of weeks and took the advice from the
folks here and smoked if I felt I needed to. Smoking maybe a couple of analogs a day.
A big Thank You!, to the great and helpful people on this board!

Nice looking starter kit. Especially since it comes with the pass-thru and BOGE cartomizers. Good job!

Here's a great deal for replacing your BOGE cartomizers (includes free shipping).

I just purchase the Volt from Smokeless Image after starting with Zerocig and I have to say definitly don't go cheap to start out like I did . Zerocig was not horrible but after spending a little more for a starter kit at SI all I can say is WOW what a difference

Very nice post and so very true. I found when I first started vaping, that when I ran out of stock I was back to cigarettes before I got my next juice in. Definitely get the best and plenty of it to keep you off cigs.

Dont buy big bottles of liquid when you try them for the first time regardless if you have heard awesome reviews of them. I have tons of liquid i hate from doing just this.

Very good point. I did this with a full order once while I was deployed. Ended up with 5 huge bottles and 15 sampler bottles that I never used.

I definitely took the advice from this post as a newbie, and didn't even read it LOL.

I went with a reo grand, like the look of it, it's not bulky and everyone loves them. Not to mention with a 2400maH battery and a 6ml bottle I can fill it up and it will last for days. That was the main proponent of going this route. It set me back quite a bit, but I don't regret the decision and am happy where I'm at.

The only thing that is and will continue to be a challenge is finding the right juice. I bought about...100ml of liquid from 4 different vendors and have some interesting conclusions:

BWB has good flavor and vapor production, I bought the strawberry from them. It's a bit candy-like but vapable.
Johnsons Creek, I was a little dissapointed with this purchase. I got the chocolate mint and Winter's Chill(?) 100%PG free and the vapor production is god awful. Either I'm doing something wrong or this is just the name of the game. It sucks because I'd heard good things, and there were good reviews on their site..but literally almost 0 vapor on exhale makes vaping any of this stuff unenjoyable. The flavor isn't bad, but eh...not my favorite.
I got some HC-e (double flavor) Mint and Blueberry and so far these are my favorites (unfortunately from china). Both have a very strong taste and great vapor production. Whatever the mixture is it's awesome.
I also got some Dekang Juices after watching some reviews on youtube. Dr. Pepper, Peppermint, Honey and Blueberry. I got 2x blueberry on this order to compare, and I think the HC-e comes out way on top.

I'm using a 510lr 2.0ohm atty from Reo that I ordered with my mod. I ordered 3 and after a week decided to give the first atty a washing (boiling water, rinsed with isopropyl, blown out and set to dry overnight). The 2nd atty I threw on seems to not be hitting as hard. The first night I got the atty's I blew the primer out of them all (3 total) and am curious if I deadened it a bit by doing that and not using it right away..not sure..

Anyhow, I have a friend who swears by vaporbomb, so thats going to be the next purchase I make. I also got 2 18650, 2400mah Trustfire batteries. The first one lasted 5 days of pretty regular vaping and I decided to swap it out since I don't have a voltage reader..

Anyhow, this forum answered a TON of questions but I still have about 100. Gotta get that posting priviledge so I can start asking them all. But this thread is incredibly usefull.
