It's windy, USA
"Good" and "cheap" never go together.

The gyro I'm eating begs to differ.

Also, everyone means well, but something like this when it's back in stock for $24 can do fine. You can even start learning how to rebuild on them, and you have redundancy depending on what you already have:

https://www.myfreedomsmokes.com/starter-kits/standard-voltage/evod/kanger-evod-bcc-starter-kit.html

If you don't want the redundancy, you can put together a VV 1300mAh and a cheap smok EBC tank for less than $18, and fasttech can get you RY4 at 30ml for $4. But by the time you get coils... either way, all easily rebuildable to save cash. While people are right that you might get a more satisfying or more X vape, there's a lot to be said for a budget.

Kanger EMOW maybe or a BDC or BVC tank on an ego.

An EMOW is going to be more than $25. $35-$40 at the cheapest...even so, that would be an online price before shipping. :2cool:

Perhaps you can get an EVOD or something along those lines at that price. :glare:

Wow, everyone seems to be trying to up sell you don't they?

Really, I have no idea of your situation, if you are a smoker trying to quit or what. There are some things to consider.

1. I don't think that kit comes with a charger.
2. One battery is not enough. You need a spare.

If you are just starting and need something cheap, I would suggest a couple of their blister packs. They won't be anything special, but that would get you 2 batteries, chargers and a couple of toppers. It would also leave some $$ for juice.

That's my 2 cents...but I'm a cheap guy.

Well the good news is we have 3 chargers so no issue there and I have my cheap EVOD I'm using and the small 650mah my wife is using until I get her a new one we'll have back up :)

    Telling a starter to get a rebuildable atomizer is not only unnecessary, it's just wrong. The regular Aspire stuff kicks out some vapor. I have some rebuildable stuff now and so far it doesn't blow out the water the MFS $8 VV EVOD starter kit ... actually possibly the most awesome compact battery you can get. I don't think you'd be wasting money on any of it, as long as it works properly and isn't overpriced.

    P.S. MFS takes about 4 days to arrive, China takes about 3 weeks.

    if you already have evod and ego battery, why do you need another? it wont be an upgrade with 25$ and you already have two batteries? i dont get why you need another :confused: might as well save for something better. You wont get much of an 'upgrade' in your current setup with 25$, it will just be more of the same thing that you are experiencing now mostly. just set the 25$ aside for your MvP+Nautilus upgrade, you will need a bit more money if you are looking for a noticeably better vape than what you currently have.

    if you are new, maybe there is some confusion.

    say the 25$ and below budget for batteries, mostly only include ego-type batteries with not variability and power to them. anything in that budget will likely just be a generic version relabled of the same type of batteries you are already using.

    Could stick with the evod 650mah for a while. I use mine all the time. Haven't upgraded to an mvp yet will some day. But been spending more money on juices to find some good ones. With the 650 I have one close by and either one on a charger or charged and ready to go.

    Have you tried Vista Vapors for e juice I bought some speamint mixed at 70/30 with a 30% flav boost and feel in love taste just like gum. You can also mix flav

    They reason is my wife had the same battery as I it lasted 3 months mine I've had it for 2 months and if it follows suit then I got a month? She's using our back up a 3 inch little 650 that came with a CE4 tank for $10 bucks me buying is more for her if I don't buy and mine dies then we're down to one. I'd love to be able to spend $35-40 on a new battery or have 4k worth of stuff with more coming but when you have a wife semi disabled a 3 year old son who's Autistic and I'm the only one working trying to make ends meet its hard to get the set up we want. Besides the health risk of smoking we quit because vaping is cheaper and we save money in the long run. Right now I am just looking for a decent setup that will hold us over til we can get something better

    OK so I was thinking of buying this kit that comes with a iJoy 1300mah VV with a Aspire ET S tank for $23.00 from My Freedom Smokes, but before I do since I'm still kinda new to the vaping world and I trust all you veterans options I'd like to see if there is a better setup out there, please remember while a MVP 20w with a Nautilus tank is in the future I only have a budget of $25.

    Look for Innokin VV /v3's......since the new ones have come out they were around for 25$ or so.....If you can find one
