Egos and vivi novas are a safe bet. The lava tube looks good although I wouldn't go vv for first one. If you buy something more expensive though you will be less likely to slip. At least thats the way I looked at it. (I'd be way more ...... if I went back to tobacco after dropping $150 on a pv.) I went to the top and bought a reo grand. It's the glock of ecigs. Simple and dead nuts reliable. Try to find a bad review on them it's hard. I highly recommend them. Pick up a sample pack of 24 mg juice and get 2-4 cisco 1.8 ohm 510 atomizers. 3 aw 18650 imr 1600mah batteries and a charger. Your good to go once you find what juice you like. juice hunting is as fun as the DMV line though so heads up. I have finally settled on a vendor. Rawr vapor. Check them out. You be all in at probably $250. I took me about $500 to figure it out after experimenting
