A little Lost

[AMP]

So, Im looking through all these Vapor sites and Im getting seriously lost. There are just TONS of sites out there and I cant make a decision on what to bookmark and make "my sites."
I have Modern Vapor and Crystal Clear vaping bookmarked but what Im looking for is a vets recommendation for a "Walmart of vaping" site.
Any suggestions?

LOL. Welcome to ECF and the wonderful world of vaping. There really is no such thing as a "Walmart of Vaping." Several sites will have both equipment and juice, but I've learned that I prefer to get my juice from a site that specializes in juices, and the hardware sites....well, it's really going to depend on the equipment you have or want....they pretty much specialize (within reason) as well. Go to the suppliers forums and read, read, read and watch youtube video reviews, and read, read, read some more. You'll start narrowing down your juice preferences and learn who carries the equipment you need for the best price. Even when you get it narrowed down, it's not done because vendors are having sales all the time and you will probably want to capitalize on those if they have something you need. Hang a little loose and just know that having variety and choices is a GOOD thing. The competition definitely helps keep the prices right. Good luck.

WalMart of vaping huh...there are several, Liberty Flights, MadVapes, GoodProphets and FreedomSmokeUSA are just a few that come to mind for hardware...way too many for juices to list...any listed supplier on the forum is a pretty safe bet.........

Madvapes has some amazing prices. However sometimes their stock is low. So if you see something you like buy it cause it might not be there later.

I wouldn't buy from Modern Vapor - they like to sell custom modified models so you need to get everything from them.

And 95% of the slick ecig sites out there with Testimonials and 24 Hour Live Support and claiming they are #1 or highest rated are BS or ripoff sites. All decent sites supportive of refilling also offer blank carts/cartomizers and juice and manual batteries. And even some that do are ripoffs or incompatible models.

If you are interested in a slim ecig there is nothing good the diameter of a cigarette. You have to go to 9.2mm diameter, a bit thicker than a cig. These two are the most popular and best supported models and I recommend manuals batteries. And most use both with cartomizers for their favorite juices.

The KR808D-1 has plenty of prefilled and blank cartomizers and the Joye 510 has few decent prefilled cartomizers but plenty of blank styles including tan and white ones as well as black Boge 3 ohm at NiteLiteVapor.us. See KR808D-1 at Vapor4Life and another style at SmokelessImage and Bloogplanet. See Joye 510 at Liberty-Fights.com or LiteCigUSA.net or for the long Joye 510 mega xl version see FreedomSmokeUSA.com (both little mouth end parts of a 510 are replaced by one filter-size piece when you use cartomizers).

If you are a heavy smoker or want the best hit or long battery life, you may be best off skipping slim models and going straight to fat battery models (like Ego and Riva 510) and mods. These big models over 450mah can also optionally use the hotter LR (low resistance, low ohms) cartomizers and atomizers.

When you look at ecigs, 100mah of battery charge is about 1 hour of moderate vaping.

AMP, what are you currently using?

 

[Valsacar]

Someone posted up a link to their project... I'll try and find it later, but it's a search engine for e-cigs. They search a bunch of suppliers sites for whatever you want and return the prices for each.

Some HARDWARE Walmarts of vaping (not excel at juice)

Liberty-Flights.com (where the Riva 510 kits are 3.7v)

LiteCigUSA.net (though I would not buy KR808D-1 there - some said they are shipping a different style battery that isn't as good. But I use them a lot for Joye 510 stuff.)

Cignot.com

The above 3 call things by their REAL NAMES so you know what you are buying.

Vaporkings.com is a decent shop too - good selection

But for KR808D-1 most use KR8-specific shops: Vapor4Life, SmokelessImage, Bloogplanet

Biggest juice vendors

FreedomSmokeUSA.com
JuicyVapor.com

but people use LOTS more juice vendors.

AMP, what are you currently using?

I am using a Blu kit right now.

 

[dormouse]

Here is the Blu forum on ECF
Blu Electronic Cigarettes

A similar step up would be Joye 510 MANUAL (not auto) - short charge but I think 2x the charge of Blu. And use Boge cartomizers on it you fill yourself for your favorite juices. Since the manuals are sealed you can also use a drip tip on the atomizer to test juices and vape thicker juices. You could also use Blu cartos on it I think. But never ever charge a 510 in Blu charger or vice versa. Blu is reverse electrical polarity and its charger will fry a 510 and vice versa. A nice PCC for Joye 510 is a NoSmokeVA.com ($30)

Tasty Vapor is my go to for liquid. It's not the cheapest out there, but everything I've gotten from them has been good. I've spent over $500 with them and have been happy.

I also like that they're local to me so I get my stuff super quick one it ships.

 

[jp6608]

things I look for from a vendor..

Do they sell the items I'm shopping for?
Are their prices competitive?
Do they offer any active coupon codes?
What is their customer support like?
Do they have a thread here on ECF? if so, then I go through it.

I've puchased a variety of things from bloog, smokeless image, couds of vapor, good prophets, Steve over at foxy box mods, kick bass vapor and some others and I havne't come across any issues with any of those vendors. Great prices, fast shippment, outstanding customer service seems to be the norm.

I'm sure if you list the item(s) you're looking to purchase, the folks here on ECF will be more then happy to suggest vendors or share their experiences with vendors that you're interested in buying from.

E-Liquid and Electronic Cigarette Shop - Category Listings for ego and riva kits.

Welcome to MadVapes LLC for just about anything else you need.

Juice is something that only YOU can decide on. I don't care of either of the 2 vendor's that I mentioned for juices but you might like them.

Wait, my Blu will fry a 510? I bought a pack of boge 510 cartos.

Dormouse means that the Blu charger will not charge a 510 battery....reverse polarity. Your BOGE 510 cartos should be fine on your Blu....in fact, I'm betting you'll love them. Those are almost my favorite cartos.

 

[AMP]

Oh ok, I almost had a heart attack. I was ready to return my blu and start all over, lol. Thanks for the clarification.

So are you happy with this setup? Are you getting acceptable vape time out of your batteries?

The answers to these questions will help the ECF members narrow down recommendations for you to consider.

Im happy with my Blu, but I feel like I got the most commercialized PV, and there are not many mods for me. I would want something still like a 510, with a pack charger and everything, but I have no idea what to get (Im not shure that I want like the joye 510 manual)

 

[swedishfish]

Use your blu for awhile and see what you like/don't like about it.

The reason some people move from a mini could be for longer battery life, not happy with the vape they get, need more power. If your blu is delivering all that for you, use it for awhile. Like Dormouse said, you can use other cartomizers on it.

Are you still smoking analogs? If not, maybe the Blu is working for you. Not that I'm telling you not to try other pvs, but don't jump into something if your happy. Maybe you'll want to wait and get a mod or something and skip some steps.

LOL, and no offense to the advice above, which I will probably refer back to, but you were confused before...? I was fortunate to inherit a bunch of juices, but I, too, would like a reputable one stop shop.
I somehow ended up with 3 different systems within a few short weeks of switching to steam, tho my favorite by far remains the much maligned and ridiculously expensive GreenSmoke I started with, so I wouldn't worry too much about the BluCig- If it works, have at it-
