Hello all,
Been reading this forum for a few days, lots of usefull info here and looks like I'm about to purchase my first e-cig.

Been smoking for 25 years, but for about 6 months now, cut down to only few smokes a day. Now i'm ready to take the next step and stop the regular smokes altogether.

In any case, i'm pretty much mailnly confused about one thing. Where's the good place to buy supplies from in the US? There are so many places! But i'm not sure which one is reputable, or which one is in US, as i don't want to wait for weeks by ordering from overseas.

If you guys don't mind posting a few links to a good, reputable sites with fast shipping in the US, i'd appreciate it.

If posting links is not allowed by the forum rules, my appologies. Please email me at .

Thanks,

Alex

I doubt its a common issue, i dont blame the supplier i got them from
i had 40% of my prefilled 808 cartos be empty now im rushing around for a local juice hook-up.

So Buy a couple 10ml or maybe even a 30 or two from the get-go

get 2x the amount you would think you need. then a few days after your sure this is the path for you, order more. don't repeat my mistake, because trust me a normal cig tastes VILE after only 4-5 days vaping.

Some of the best low-price hardware vendors (not the best juice vendors - the best juice vendors sell mostly juices)

Cignot.com
LiteCigUSA.net
Liberty-Flights.com

Where you do not want to buy an ecig is at and fancy "name" site where you don't even know what model it really is, whether it's a good model, who else sells parts for it, what should it cost. And especially stay away from anyplace that does not sell blank carts and juices and/or charges more than $19 for a slim battery. There are sure huge ripoffs out there and also a whole lot of fancy sites with "testimonials" and fake "reviews" and lies on their sites selling crappy or incompatible models.

Some of the name sites are fine, like Vapor4Life (that is a KR808D-1)

And I recommend you get manual batteries and buy a model you can get parts for at one or more of the shops I listed above.

I got an eGo starter kit from AltSmoke.com for my first kit. Easy kit to get started with. Great service. Ordered (from PA) on a Friday and recieved (in ID) on Monday.

They have everything you need. If you want I can give you a list of everything I ordered with my first purchase. About 100 bucks including juices and some extra parts.

I know what you mean dormhouse, i almost ordered from greensmoke (after someone let me try one from there) and now glad i did not. Not saying that greensmoke was bad, actually i thought it was pretty awesome, but after finding this forum i can see that there are so many other (and possibly) better options. That is why i will start with something simple like Kr808d1.

Some of my favorite vendors here in the good ol' USA... never had a bad experience from any of them. Of course, there are other good vendors out there too, these are just my favorites:

Tastyvapor.us (US made liquids)
Madvapes (hardware, especially spare parts and mod parts, US and Chinese made liquids)
Vapor4life (KR8 cartos)
Puresmoker (some interesting mods, KR8 kits, US made liquids)

Disclaimer to the previous post of mine....

I have been using the eGo for two weeks. Without it, I don't think I would have quit analogs..... But I am already looking for the mods that allow extended vaping (bottom feeder box mods). I know that you can get the Mega carts, and the tank version of the eGo, but I think that I will be vaping for some time and think it would be better money spent if I go with a higher end proven mod like the Ali'i or Reo. There are others as well and for cheaper.

No matter the choice you make the eGo or similar product is a great introduction to vaping. Comes with everything you need to get going without getting bombarded with the "rest" of the things you can get into with vaping. If you only use it for two weeks to a month you haven't spent much different then still on analogs.

Just remember this is an investment in your health first. A side effect is saving money when you find the best product for you.:2cool:
