7.00 a pack? You must not be in cook county! To buy a single pack, prior to the increase, here in cook county is around 8:50. with the increase it is going to jump up to around 9.50 a pack here!
To the OP. You have received a lot of good suggestions in this thread. Volt, X2, E-Power, KGO are ALL good units with their own pluses and minuses. Here are the important things:
(1) NONE of these is a waste of money. One may have an advantage over another on some things (size, ease of use, etc.), but may have disadvantages in other areas (battery life, cost, etc.). None of them is perfect, and none has an advantage over the others in every area.
(2) NONE of these is likely to be your last PV. WHATEVER you buy now will likely become a backup unit within a few months. If you find that you like vaping, you will probably do like many of us and go on the quest for the "perfect" PV setup (which probably doesn't exist, although the Provari drones are likely already hunting me down for saying that).
(3) ANY of these will allow you to get started vaping and get off cigarettes. That's the ultimate goal here I think.
(4) ANY of these will allow you to experiment and get experience with vaping so you can figure out what you REALLY like and don't like, rather than just your preconceived notions that are not based on experience.
(5) ANY of these options will cost you somewhere around the same as a carton of cigarettes. You spend $60 - $70 on a carton of smokes that you KNOW will be useless in a week (because they're all used up), so why fret so much over spending the same amount on something that experienced users are telling you will work? Don't get paralysis by analysis. To me, it's like fretting for hours or days over whether to buy a carton of Marlboro Lights vs. Camels. It ain't that big a deal. Just buy SOMETHING and get started.
Best of luck to you on this quest.

I use the 1300x2 for about 4-5 hours a night and get 3 days on a charge. I chain vape too. To give you an idea, I go through 3ml of juice in that 4 hours.
The x2 1300 will give you about 13-14 hours of vaping if you take a 3second puff every minute. I would suggest getting 2 x2's if you are going to vape a lot, get a large one and a small one. Then you can use the large one and when it needs to be charged, switch to the small one.. Those 2 batteries will give you about 20 hours of vaping if you don't charge either of them in between. That should be plenty, they are also a passthrough, so you can vape while charging.
The x2 is nothing more that a kgo with 808 threads. A kgo is better than an ego because it is 3.7 regulated. If you have 808 thread cartos already, get an x2

Smoking was a habit Vaping is a lifestyle . It takes time to find what works for you . Currently I have decided to stay with Provari . At the moment I am using the ego-C atomizer body and replaceable heads . I swore off tanks for the longest time because an atomizer that burns out after a couple of uses is expensive . I had tried LR on ego . I liked the type B ego-T for a while but muted flavour and vapor and the need to clean them I decided for a while to go back to cartomizers and at times a cartomizer tank system only to find they work best on something like an ego . As I said I am back to using the ego-C type B tank system which seems to work well on a provari and at first signs of trouble or bad taste , burn coil , low vapor production I can just pop off the changeable head and put in a new one and be back to the taste and performance of a new cartomizer . Tomorrow I may tell you something completely different . Such is the life of a vapourer , somewhat whimsical at time and can never commit to just one way of doing something .
Lots of rain combined with a job that depends on nice weather will always give me time to do fun stuff

1) if you're looking for a cigarette sized batt... sorry to say but I dont think it'll be able to last all day... or even close to it.
2) prefilled are always going to be more expensive. I'd rethink this one and just look around for some juice you like or get a couple 3ml sample packs of flavors that are attractive to you.
3) Most would have that. I suggest LR cartos
4) check
5) lots of varities... id suggest looking into ry4's
6) I'd go with push button personally :3
Sorry to rain on ur parade but if you dont mind the push button and want to go cheap (~50 for a kit)
I'd get the 18650 ego sleeve with a few (2-3) batteries and a regular/pila charger with some boge cartos or maybe phoenix bottom coil (gotvapes) and get a sampler pack from mr t's bakery, KBV, juicy vapes, or something along those lines

"you go beyond K.I.S.S. when you start talking about tank systems and variable voltage"
I would have agreed with that statement before the Ego C Twist and Vision Stardust, Phoenix or Nova were available, but I really think that a newbie vaper could easily use this combo right off the bat, if they were so inclined and didn't mind the size. Of course I would suggest they get some Boges also.
The reason I never considered the e-Power was due to the negative comments I was seeing about threading and button problems. Maybe those have been corrected since I looked into them?
At this point in time, I like to have 4 or 5 batteries going, each with a different flavor. Does it make me "wrong" or less than bright for choosing a Twist over the e-Power as one of my choices? I guess to some people it would.
Bottom line is...I think that we're all very fortunate to have so many good options available to get us off the stinkies.

Hello again. I still have not purchased. After sleeping on it a bit and reading about the Volt X2 clearomizers, I found that they do not travel well as they can leak. That makes me nervous.
Now I am most leaning towards a vivi nova (after watching the video, it's less intimidating) and an apollo Vtube.
This leads me to a much more precise question than my intitial one...
First:
1.8, 2.4, or 2.8 Ohms on the vivi nova? GotVapes does not recommend low resistance. (I have know idea what this is) If it's how hard you have to suck, I think I prefer high resistance (like sucking through a filter rather than a straw)
Second: I'm getting my 808s and 510s mixed up in my head... are these 2 guys going to be compatible?
I await confirmation from you wonderful people before taking that final plunge

Rocket Battery E2 - Rochester Vapor <-- the battery
Rocket Tank E2 - Rochester Vapor <-- the tank
Rocket Atomizer E2 - Rochester Vapor <-- spare atomizers
Easy to use,no fiddling at all,last all day on a full tank...get your juices in 30ml though.
Those kits are available everywhere,cost is cheap,they will satisfy you...say bye-bye to analogs.

Okay first, the leaking comes from the delivery system not the battery. The clearos that you are speaking about that leak are universal with their leaking, it has nothing to do with the x2 battery. They will leak no matter what battery you use.
Second of all, you can vape with the Vivi nova while you lay on your back. I do it all the time.
Third, 808 and 510 are not compatible without an adapter. So if you buy an 808 battery and want to use a 510 delivery system, you need an adapter. Other than the vivi nova, most of the popular delivery systems are available in both threads so you don't need an adapter. The nice thing about gotvapes is that they carry a lot of 808 clearos and cartos. You might want to also take a look At the phoenix from gotvapes as well. They don't leak at all and are great for portability. If you are sure that you want the vivi nova and don't want to use the adapter, get a Kgo. Is the same thing as an x2, but with 510 threads. It is much better than an ego
as for the ohms. It has nothing to do with how tight the draw is. The lower the resistance ( or ohms), the the warmer the vape will be. A lower resistance will also make your battery discharge faster.
So long as you battery is at least 650mah or higher, you can use all three heads. Some juices will taste better with a lower ohm because it is warmer. Personally, I use the 2.4 and 2.8 one. I have only used the 1.8 once
If you watch my videos I show the different products. I try to keep it simple for new people because I remember what I went through

Your head must be spinning. I remember going through much of what you are and being so confused which you probably are as well.
For the record, I found smokeless image by accident and on my own. Right after I found them I discovered ECF.
Sailorman has been instrumental in my vaping so far. He has never steered me in the wrong direction and always made recommendations based on the fact that I have only been vaping for a few months. He is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to most of the devices. It is because of him that I found gotvapes and the various products that they sell.

1. For the VTube, the 2.8ohm head will work better, although I'm vaping the 2.4ohm head at 4.3volts on my VTube and it's great. Just uses more battery power. The 1.8ohm head would be best on a 3.7volt device like a KGO or E-Power. But you get all three heads with a ViviNova, so your question is only relevant to buying replacement heads.
2. 808 and 510 are not compatible without an adapter.
If you go with the VTube, be sure to also buy a 510-to-510 sealed extension. Some of the Vivi Novas won't draw on a VTube (and maybe some other devices such as the Provari) without it. The extension is only $2 or $3, and they are tiny and easy to lose, so get a couple of them.
808 and 510 threads are not compatible without an adapter. I started on 808 threaded equip with a stick battery last year. The threading caused me problems finding new equip to try. It limits you to only certain vendors and I like finding cheaper equip when I can. The 510 is becoming pretty much the standard and is just easier to find when going to bigger/more powerful devices.I found that buying 808 threading caused me more of a hassle in the long run. I followed the advice of sailorman and have not had a problem since.
I'm in the same boat with my 808, already looking at 510's because the options all seem to be there.

The lower the resistance, the warmer the vapor. Resistance applies to the coil that heats up. The less resistance, the hotter the coil is allowed to get. It's like an incandescent light bulb. A 50W bulb(high resistance) will not glow as brightly as a 100W(low resistance) bulb.
Lower resistance uses more power, and most PVs have an amperage limit. To get the full range of voltage settings on the Apollo, or any VV device, it's always better to use somewhat higher resistance. My vote would go for the 2.4 or 2.8 ohm. It's all about Ohm's law. Watts, volts, amps, ohms. Each one of these affects the other.
808 and 510 threaded devices are NOT compatible, but adapters are available that allow to use 510 cartos on an 808 battery, or vice versa - 510 to 901/808-D Adapter AND 901/808D Battery to 510 Atomizer Adapter
