As soon as I find one I like then I read another review on the forum that has too many negative things that turn me off from one.Blu got me into the idea but glad I looked up reviews first before ordering one. I was just going to order a joyetech 510 but read too many post on leaking. I just want something that I can enjoy different flavors, isn't too expensive and I'm not going to have a lot of issues with. I work from home and if I do go out then its not for more than 5 hours so the charge isn't a huge thing to me. I smoke about 10-12 cigarettes a day.

I was looking at this. http://www.vaporbeast.com/product_p/sk43.htm
Probably going to order flavors at vapedudes.com

I just want the ordering and unit be able to put together and use. I really don't want to deal with liquid. Do you think 6 mg of nicotine is good since I am mainly trying this for the flavor? or should I try 11.

You say you don't want to deal with e-liquid, it really isn't that bad. plus you will save more $ dealing with liquid and better flavor

This is a good choice for a beginner and this vendor has excellent customer service as well. You are always going to get bad reviews about everything you get any where. Just make sure the good out weigh the bad.

My I suggest some kind of eGo starter kit, they will give you much better performance. You will not be disappointed

Hope this helps T41CK

I would highly recommend the eGo style batter and smoktech cartomizers. It's 2 piece assembly, sleek look, and you will probably only need to refill your carto 1-2 times a day if you smoke that much. Your battery is basically what holds the charge to heat up your juice and then the cartomizer serves as the cartridge to hold your juice as well as the atomizer, which heats up your juice. Here are some links to the info, of course feel free to order from wherever you would like, there could be better deals elsewhere. This is just easy and convenient and good flavor for the most part

Joyetech eGo-C Upgrade, 1000mah USB passthrough Battery (Black)
Shorty eGo Dual Coil Cartomizer 1.5ohm (Black)

Also, tastyvapor.us has really good juices
Welcome to Tasty Vapor

This is what I started on, still use it, hope this helps!

just another suggestion/option. might take a look at Vapow.com. in the starter kit section they have a kit called the V-unit for $46.00. it whats called a variable voltage device. lets you can the volts to either increase vapor or improve flavor. its what the majority of vapers are going to. some will say you should start with something simplier but the only real difference is you push a button to change the volts. comes with instruction manual plus there's a ton of people here more than willing to help. like i said just another option. what T41CK said is all true too. good luck

I'll agree with those saying go with an ego. I would highly recommend an Ego Twist and the kanger T3 combo. E-juice is really not hard to deal with and let me tell you the flavors will blow you away compared to any pre-filled carts your going to get. I am vaping some banana nut bread juice right now and it is out of this world good.

If your really turned off by using E-juice I still recommend the Ego Twist as it has a standard 510 connector so you can also use any pre-filled cartomizers with it. plus with the twist you can adjust the voltage for whatever carts your using.

Also, I would go with at least 11mg if your going to be quitting analogs, I started with 18. If you start too low there is a good chance of going back to cigarettes.

Also, if you want something to resemble your analog cigarette a lot, I might check out the eRoll from Joyetech. I'm interested to check this out as well, can't let you know how it is though as I have no experience with it

Joyetech eRoll Starter Kits

I ordered one of these a couple of days ago, it's suppose to be delivered tomorrow. This looks as close to an actual cigarette as I could find. I started with a Halo G6 and tried the Ego-C Twist with a Kanger T3, I think the little eRoll might be the best of both worlds. Hated filling the halo cartomizers and not being able to tell when they're close to empty. Really loved the Kanger T3 ease of filling and being able to see the juice level, but the twist is a bit big and bulky. The eRoll is small like a cigarette, but uses a ego-c atomizer and small tank. I've watched a half dozen or so You Tube reviews, so far everyone that tries it seems to really, really like it. If it shows up tomorrow I'll give it a try and post a follow up message saying how it went.

I started with 24 MG nicotine juice and I think that was a good place to start because it totally curbed my craving and then some, might be a bit high but it will definitely fulfill the craving

For CK they use the ego-c style atomizers, which I've had some trouble with them(mainly just priming but I'm new to cart/attys anyway so I'm probably just newb). Might need to adjust/clean the wick to get it to vape properly but don't give up on them and if you find something that works let me know.

Not saying they'll give you trouble but out of the 2 I tried I was having difficulty. I also tried a new juice on one of them and it was 100% VG which has more trouble wicking than normal. I'm excited to see what you have to say about it though!

Your order looks good, I have the same exact set up, very easy to use. I also got an extra set, and the replacement heads for the T3. If you have more than one flavor you can switch between them. Not sure what brand you smoked, while you didn't smoke a lot, your taste buds still might need to repair. If that is the case, you will find that the flavor change helps the experience. I would also suggest a few cartomizers from Boge at LR 510 threaded. Really not difficult to do. Sample juice before committing to the T3.

+1 on Ego, especially C-Twist. Vapow.com has em for like $26. 1000mah will last all/most of the day. You could just get an eGo upgrade/passthrough that will let you vape while charging.

I've been happy with Kangers, but I prefer the T2 - seems to draw better and vape better. For T2, it's better to tilt upward and keep your wick sopping wet while vaping so you don't burn the wick, but it vapes very well that way. Don't go over about 3.6 volts or the wick will burn.

+1 on getting replacement coils also. You'll need a few.

I got great prices on Kangers at Surevapes.com.
