What was your first setup.

[djsvapour]

It's almost too embarrassing to say.

Something called E-Lites.

They really are something special (that's sarcasm).
Purported to do 400 puffs so therefore the same as 2 packs of cigarettes.
In reality. 80-120 weak, air-pulls and about 6 cigarettes in nicotine yield.

$5.75 for one cartomizer. $5,200 a year to still be smoking, due to the cravings.

Still on sale today. Same price. Hard to believe those guys made so much money they'll never need to work again.

KangerTech subox Mini. Still have her a she is only 5 months young. Still love her!!!

I did Blu back in 2011, and there was something else that I can't even remember the name of before that. But that first one was stupid and fiddly and turned me off to the whole e-juice thing. Which of course was dumb, but that first kit was just awful, it leaked all the time was all little rubber cartridges and atomizers and crappy batteries. Anyway, still learning my way through these modern contraptions, but the tech has come MILES from there.

Anybody want to tell me what was there first setup they got.

Mine was this thoroughly wretched device:




It's the "Smart" ecig, sold at a flea market near me. No button, miserable vape, gets juice in your mouth all the time, and you could only use it for 2 hours before having to charge it for 3 hours. Nothing Smart about it really, and any product labeled Smart is only smart for the guy selling it, but, it got me started, and I quickly moved on to much better things.

I started out with this and I can still say that it is a great way to get into it!

Triton Tank Kit

Cheap as hell and it worked for over a year for me! I then got an Aspire Atlantis tank and didn't understand the sub ohm thing, looked into it and ended up getting the Aspire Sub Mod and just recently bought the Innokin Cool Fire IV Plus!

 

[GccTxs67]

Joyetech Ego One....Was good for a few weeks, then I found this website and have been buying stuff for the last 8 Months!!!

 

[Lannie]

This! It's still a great starter kit! I still tell my smoker friends to pick one up.

This is what I used, too. It worked great for me for several months and EASILY kept me off cigarettes. I was a hard-core 2-pack-a-day smoker, too, so that's sayin' something. Now I have mods with more power, but there is NOTHING wrong with these EVODs and they work well, in my experience.

^^^ This was actually my very FIRST experience with vaping. One overpriced cigalike that also claimed 400 puffs, tasted like crap, and put out very little vapor, BUT it gave me the inhale/exhale hand to mouth fixation, and for the little while it lasted (I agree, about 6 cigarettes worth), kept me off the cigs. I immediately went shopping and ordered the EVOD kit online. Best decision I ever made.

808d battery and some really awful plastic cartos that ALWAYS leaked.

 

[rgerber]

MVP 2.0. Almost two years ago. Still works but is seldom used anymore. Main device these days is Reo LP Grand.

 

[LilWhiteClouder]

Anybody want to tell me what was there first setup they got.

Kanger Evod w/ Protank 3 if we're not counting cigalikes. This is the setup that truly broke my stinklog 1/2-1 PAD habit. I started with that mid-late December '14 and never looked back. If cigalikes count, a Fifty-One from a kiosk at the mall about 3 years ago. They only had tobacco and menthol flavors. The whole setup was like $175 and it included a rechargeable cigarettelike battery with 10+ packs of replaceable cartridges that were the "butts" of the cigarette. It helped me smoke less.
The Evod setup cost me about $60 + juice. It was wonderful! I couldn't believe I was able to get my nic fix without smelling like a cigarette. I was so happy. I still have everything I started with, even the Fifty-One cigalike, minus a Kanger Genitank mini that I gave to a buddy.
I won't go into what I own today but suffice it to say I have more than 60 devices (mechanical and regulated) and three Vapemail orders on the way. I've lost count of my rdas and tanks.

 

[Dragoncat79]

This is my first setup topbox nano from kangertech.

 

[tmcguffie]

Far left was my first.

Yep, the exact same type that got me off the cigs as well, always have a soft spot for those little guys.

 

[Eekins]

Innokin VV/VW 4 with a Protank Mini 3. Great little device until I dropped the tank and it broke on me. That's when I upgraded to a Nautilus Mini and spiraled down a path towards flavorville.

...me too. (discounting the $800 on cig-a-likes)

I wish I'd bought more VaporFi to be honest.

NOT.

Oh God.

Then I got the nautilus and wanted to upgrade to...
3. Aspire 1600mah with nautilus
Didn't like the aspire. So I traded it in for...
4. Istick 20w
Got sick of the nautilus and it's problems. So I got the...
5. Kanger subtank mini
Used that for a while. After 6 months I decided to upgrade to...
6. Evic vtc mini w/ subtank mini
Started vaping at 0.5ohms and got hooked on flavor/cloud chasing. So I ordered a...
7. Uwell crown
But more than likely I'll be needing something to keep up with it. So I'll probably get the urge to upgrade to...
8. ?????
Not sure yet. Suggestions?

Joye 510

I used cotton, tea bags, foam ... the batteries lasted all of 20 minutes in the early morning when I vaped heavy. I used 24mg niquid and was constantly getting a mouthful.

I'm surprised it worked. But it did. Been vaping for more than 6 years now.

 

[djsvapour]

Joye 510

I had a Joyetech 510 kit, 280mAh (?) manual batteries, 510 atomizer and 'tanks' which were really cartridges.
100% burnt taste for the short while I had them.
I bought 10 boges and gave the whole thing away (less those attys) to a newbie.
Nice little batteries, such a shame about the rest of it.

Yeah, my 510s were manual. I switched to automatic 808s about 6 months later. Then I bought my Chucks. Then I switched to eGos. Now I use RTAs and 100W iSticks.

I thought the 510s would be 'up' from the 808 PCC kit I had. I guess with a cartomizer they were a match.
I bought a complete 808 e-cig today for $1.14. (I bought 2 actually). They need charging (old stock) but they might be usable.
