I got a cheap ego kit when I started and got 8 different 5ml bottles of juice from my local B&M. Picked up a passthrough joye upgrade as my first foray into VV. And bought an eVic last week. Im about $200 in but i think that will last me for a while other than juice. As much as I like my evic though, I see some 1300mah vision spinners in my future as my out and about carries.
