Well, to be honest, much like many other newbivapers, I was immediately attracted to the two-piece, auto-batt concept as well as those models which are similar in size and shape to analogs. I don't want some monstrosity the length of a Virginia Slims 140 stickin' out of my pie-hole. I don't know if I've ever heard of a 5v or 6v battery that's the size of a V4L shorty batt (or even a standard 510 batt), but if you know of one, tell me about it and maybe it'll become order number seven!

I suppose that, with my latest order being a "classic" 510 kit from vaporLITES, I'll get a chance to try out the world of the three-piece. I only really started considering the 510 once I'd heard about the 510 cartomizer, but, since my vaporLITES kit comes with two atties and 10 prefilled RY4 carts, I might as well take advantage of the opportunity to de-noobify myself even further.

I did the same thing as you pretty much.

When I started vaping I was attracted to the idea of having a PV that looked, felt, and "smoked" like an analog... but after a while I said screw it, and favored performance over appearance.

I ordered a 510 kit from a Chinese supplier... then when I realized that it would probably take a month for it to arrive I got antsy and ordered a 901 from another chinese supplier, except with 7-10 day delivery.

Then before I even got the 510 or 901 I decided to buy a KR808 kit.

I think you'll like the KR808, if I had to go with any "standard" e-cig I'd go with that one. Good luck though and I hope you stick with vaping.

Second what someone else said... When you first start, you want something that mimics your analogs. As you get going, it will be less and less important. You're going to use your PV hundreds of times a day, and reliability and convenience start to become a much bigger factor. You'll believe me when you start getting tired of changing batteries 5 times a day. :)

Can I recommend getting a bunch of adapters? You'll want to try different attys, and adapters are alot cheaper than having a bunch of different batteries around. They'll still come in handy when you break down and buy a big battery mod too. You have a lot of KR808D stuff, some 801 -> 901, 510, 401 would be a good start and you can use your batteries with any atty.

Welcome to vaping.

You certainly can not be accused of hesitating once you decide on a course of action.

I will look for the clouds of vapor rising over an undisclosed location in Mexico in --- oh say --- 1-5 days? :cool:

Great selection. E-juice is also key in continued enjoyment of vaping because you can fill those carts forever with whatever flavors you end up liking the best.

I see unflavored nic juice combined with your PG/VG, and Perfumers Apprentice flavors for DIY and the handy FREE juice calculator spreadsheet for your "recipes" in your future (say 5-10 working days?).

Hasta la vista.

Vape On!!!!!

I went a bit hog wild when I started vaping.

My GF had about 4 starter kit's from our local supplier, I tried her 510 and 901 and decided I loved the 901, so I immediately ordered 2 chrome DSE 901 starter kits, after using them for about 3 days I tried her 510 again and decided that I loved the manual function on them, so I ordered 2 510 starter kits, and 4 mega batteries for each one, after using those for about a week decided that I had to find the cream of the crop and hit youtube, discovered the Kissbox, so I got 2 extended set's with 2 extra attys each, and then the eGo hit, watched a few reviews and decided that since I loved my 510's so much I should give them a shot... so I got 2 eGo kit's with a extra battery and 4 extra attys...

All of that in the span of about a month and a half... and I have been mostly happy with all of them ever since.

I use the 901 & 510 kit's to lure analog users to the Vape side... and it has worked, since I started vaping and pushing it to all my friends/co-workers/ and associations I have produced about 23 new vapers, and growing.

It sounds like with the supply that you have on hand you could become the official Mexico PV supplier ;)

Not too bad of a idea I would say, then you could get a villa :D

You can try 5v vaping on a 510 power PT for 15.95 at myvaporstore.com. It plugs into your computer or into a wall usb adapter. You use a regular 510 atty. I love mine. You can also plug into a usb car lighter adapter. It gives a excellent throat hit and flavor. This will get you into the 5v world without the big dollars. I think they tested at just under 5v but most advertise them a 5v. Not really sure as I haven't tested the v myself. Anyway, its close enough.

Excellent work! Strength in numbers, baby; strength in numbers!! I definitely plan on becoming a walking advertisement for PVs -- but I don't think I'll become a supplier because I think that's against the law.

I don't know... the whole idea of a passthrough has never appealed to me. Plus I get the feeling that I would end up vaping too much if I had a PT hooked up to my laptop.

After a while, you may get tired of recharging batteries every 2-3 hours (I did) and decide to get a passthrough or something small like a Janty EGO or Totally Wicked Tornado. I have the Tornado and I have yet to use the battery up (before needing charging) in less than 10 hours. Keep us posted.
