very true elfstone. As of now, I have decided to go with 2 volt x2 1300s with the clearomizers as that seems to be the best combination of battery life, ease of use, and price of all the suggestions. If I can show myself that I can get off of the $70 cartons of analogs, that opens up my budget to a ridiculous amount and I can stock up on some variable voltage batteries with Vivi Nova V2.

I will sleep on it and read any additional posts you all may have by tomorrow.

Thanks again all for all your time and help.

OK, here's my opinion, which is probably not worth a whole lot,,,,

NO MATTER WHAT YOU GET, you will most likely end up upgrading sometime within the next year. You will change SOMETHING, you will add SOMETHING,,,,,,,I'd get something affordable now, get acquainted with vaping, spend a bit on some juices,,,,,,,,,talk, read, etc,,,,

in 3 or 6 or 9 months you will have a MUCH better idea of what you want, what works and what doesn't for you.

You don't have to have the best, the biggest, the most amazing NOW,,,,,,there's something to be said for keeping it simple while learning,,,,,,,,and then happily, with more knowledge than you have now, going out and buying something "better".

It's not a loss,,,,,,,some people loan out their starters to friends or family,,,,,,some pay it forward to someone,,,,,,and some keep them for back ups.

and that's my 2 cents.

OH, and don't forget to find meets in your area,,,,,I think they'd be a great way for you to see how the mods work, have people show you first hand, etc,,,,,,,,you'll learn a ton.

It's kind of like buying your first house,,,,,,,,,it's an investment,,,,,,,but it's not usually your dream house. And you learn a heck of a lot when you buy your first house. What you learn,,,,,,,,you will use when you DO buy your dream house,,,,,,,,er,,,,or your dream vape.

fear of a clearomizer leaking in my pocket and the resounding support for the Vivi Nova has me quite sold on that. I also like the Vtube. My only remaining concern is something about the vivi nova not sealing properly on a vtube?? can someone confirm or deny this? And where to I get the 510 to 510 extension that was recommended? I'm so close to making a confident purchase :D

Just got my rocket (1100mah batt,2 tanks,10 spare atties).

That thing is the current best kept secret on ECF I tell ya.

Even though the ce2s provided with them are a bit high on the ohms side (measured mine at 3.0) that thing seems perfect for Vmax and Provaris (eGo adapter required)...but they seem to be sensible at the junction,i screwed mine a bit tightish and it started to leak a lil bit...put it back on its native batt and all is well.

Granted,cant tell everybody to rush and buy it,I just been vaping it for 5-6 hrs :)

I think stalking the mailman is part of the fun of vaping. ENJOY!!!

Yea...my mailman was REALLY surprised when I opened the door just as he got to it. I use the EARLY JACK RUSSELL TERRIER WARNING SYSTEM(EJRTWS). EJRTWS kicks in when he's still 3 doors down.

Funny part is he hands me a letter and I'm like "Does someone else deliver the priority packages later?" ... *Fishes around in bag* "Oh here it is, thanks for reminding me"

Little does he know he will be stalked tomorrow for tanks and saturday for juices. EJRTWS will be in full effect. Dogs will be fed extra as they remain vigilant.

I think in the beginning the hardest part is finding a juice that you like and keeps you away from analogs. Your taste buds are damaged from smoking so you want something strong, at least that was the case with me. I too started with a blu and was seriously disappointed in it. I quickly ordered a vv mod that uses the 18650 batteries which last a long time. Now only 2 weeks vaping Im still trying new juices and have found a couple favorites already. Not saving any money but thats a small price to pay to not be a slave to tobacco/ analogs. Still lots to learn and not sure I can help with the overwhelming amount of responses you already have. One thing I can say is to give vaping a honest try, this is the only thing that has worked for me. I have tried most of the other drugs, patches, gum nothing worked nearly as well.

Done! Orders are placed.

Joye eGo-C Twist Variable Voltage 1000mAh Battery from myvaporstore.com with charger for $62 (including shipping)(code:5ecf)

Viva Nova 2.5 from gotvapes.com for less than $15

and now... we wait...

Did you get a wall adapter? If you didn't, you can pick one up just about anywhere. Or you can use a USB hub. Whatever you do, avoid charging via the USB ports on a computer. Although it is rare, there have been instances in the past when an eGo being charged from a computer's USB port has blown its top.

I think you'll be pleased with that rig, Kranecu. Exactly what I'm using as a noob and I'm vaping my face off. My sweet spot seems to be 4.2-4.4 volts withe the 2.4 Nova head. Voluminous clouds of sweet Copper Creek Cheesecake (awesome by the way) dancing around my head. Vape on my friend!

Edit: Oops...seems 4 volts is the spot. I just checked my Twist.

I switch between vivi nova and ego t. I know people ..... about the ego t. You have to learn them like all others.
Ego t is my wife, and about 6 of my friends fave.

Have you tried the ego t? ive had flooding problems ONCE in 2 months with ego t ... twice in 2 days with vivi nova lol

I don't know if Strigoi has tried it or not, I do have an ego-T and while I do know others it has worked for and they are happy with it, it gave me nothing but problems and I hated it.

Wow thats a really high price for a pack of cigarettes! I can't really think of any pre-filled (regular) cartomizer that would allow you to chain vape all day without popping a new one on. I used blu for a while and found myself refilling cartos often but I would fill 5 at night and smoke all day so that really wasn't an issue for me. The only thing that I have been able to vape like crazy all day off of was an Ego with a tank. As a matter of face the Ego and tank situation has been completely amazing for me over all. I'm sorry if this wasn't a whole lot of help but its just my experience and advice.
