Best way to sample flavors?

[aushizz]

Im researching all the different ways to get started with vaping and begin trying to quit smoking cigs(again). There are
so many options and sites to purchase juices and equipment.
Was leaning towards something like this to start:

Is that a decent start?
Also wondering what is the best method to sample all the different juices and flavors once I buy a device?
Thanks for any ideas and advice.

Hi aushizz and welcome to ECF.

Yes, it's a decent kit, but for 10 bucks more you can get a much better one, IMO.

http://www.myvaporstore.com/Vision_Spinner_Joye_Ego_C_Twist_Combo_p/vvs-c.htm

It's fully customizable--you have a choice between an eGo-C twist and a Spinner, and the Kanger clearomizers are much better than the C4s--they are bottom changeable coil heads, which makes them not only better performers but they are also much cheaper to run.

I recommend getting one (or two) Spinners, a T3 and an eVod--and some extra atomizer coils; they don't come with the kit and have to be purchased separately.

The best way to sample flavors is to direct drip on an dripping atty, but I'm too lazy to do that; I just use my baby T3 tanks to sample new flavors.

Good luck!

I second everything Katya said, saves me from having to type!

Also don't forget to order juice! That's the most important part

Thanks for Your information.

I picked up a setup of 2 Ego-T 1100mah batteries, 2 CE4s, USB charger, wall adapter and case for $39 with free shipping on Ebay 3 weeks ago. Paid $25 for my first Ego-T 650mah at local cig shop. Ordered a Vamo V2 yesterday. Like the Egos as I had backups and if I break one or lose it I won't be out much. Will be using the Vamo at home and the Ego's when I'm out running around.

Exactly what I do....I just can't see lugging a mod around, too heavy (especially the Vamo Brick)

Katya's link and suggestions are good. The Kangers are easy to clean, and with their smallish wicks, most of the previous flavor can be rinsed out to get ready for the new flavor. Or change to a new head for a new flavor.

I like to use the Vivi Nano for new flavors. They're sort of like a tiny bottom coil carto tank, good flavor, easy to fill, clear tube so you can see how much juice is in.

AltSmoke.com | Nano Clearomizer - 510 Thread | Electronic Cigarette | Ecigs | has the lowest prices on them that I've come across.

I can't count how many juices I've bought that I hated. Sample packs and dripping as was suggested is the way to go. Check for a brick and mortar vape shop, u can then usually vape their flavors and pic fr that. In fact that is how I recently found my daily juice. It's tough with juice, what one vaper loves another vomits.... Happy hunting!

Second what Katya said, the Vision Spinner 1300Mah is the best entry-level value on the market IMHO. I'd pair it up with evods, t2's, protanks, or Vivi Novas/mini novas. (not that they offer all those in that kit, but those are all amazing options). 510 drip atty's are great for testing flavors, even some cheap RDA rebuildable dripping atomizers work well too. For example, my favorite way to test flavors now since i got it is the cheapie dripper atty from sun-vapers.com. They have a lot of great products on there (it's tough to go wrong with pretty much anything on there, although i'm not the biggest fan of the T3 due to leaking issues that mine had) and those dripper attys are like $5, high quality, and once you get the hang of it, rebuildable.

+1 for what Katya said, with an addition. Get some cartomizers to go along with your kit. My personal recommendation would be Smok Tech cartos, though Boge and Kanger are also widely available. Learning to use the cartos will keep you from going back to smoking when the frustration occurs that often accompanies clearos.

Don't get me wrong clearos are great when they work properly, and terribly frustrating when they don't. Clearos, depending on a lot of factors can, and frequently do, leak, gurgle and give dry hits. When they don't work properly they can try the patience of experienced vapors. Cartos, if properly filled, and that is easy to learn, never leak leak, gurgle, or give dry hits. Cartos are so much more consistent and predictable and I think that is an important factor for new vapers.

My two cents, YMMV.

Hello,

For tasting I ended up getting one of the smoktech rebuildable atomizers
New to this and fairly easy to rebuild and test using multimeter...

I buy sample packs, 6 ml or less per sample. It can end up costing more in the long run, but I am not stuck with a bunch of 10ml or more bottles of juice I don't care for. And I can always buy a bigger bottle of juice I really like. Then there is the question of what flavors are you interested in? tobacco? fruit? dessert? bakery? exotic? Taste is so subjective, and your taste will change over time as you give up the nasties and really enjoy vaping. Lots of good threads here on juice and juice vendor reviews. As for hardware, there are several good suggestions here, I don't think you would go wrong with any of the recommendations.

I would have to agree with Katya on this one, that kit she suggested is A+ in my opinion! Welcome to the forum and congrats

Seams ok, better than what I started with! E lites!!!! Rubbish, over priced Blaa Blaa.... With the ego type thing evod for me is best for when you've found juices you like. To try different juices, maybe boge 510 pack of 5, as quite cheap and you can load your juice samplers in them. Load of how to vids on YouTube, but as far as juice, taste is subjective, so you just have suck it and see! Good luck. Btw ce4 clearomizer not great.

 

[petyweestraw]

Hmmmm how bout somewhere to buy really small bottles of juice to sample. What you try at the shop is fine. But if found th juice I have seemed to have changed.

 

[dtucker78]

How can I find if there is a vape shop near me? Would tobacco shops possibly carry vape supplies?

thanks Katya! I will go with your suggestion and try the tasting methods suggested by others as well.

Yeah... but they are not trouble free... they burn!

So yes, get a box of cartos, single-coil Boge or Smoktech, but make sure you fill them properly and top off early and top off often--or else.
