Another New Guy

[MajMcMuffins]

Well the title states it all. I recently got introduced to e cigs by a fried who had a blu cig. It wasnt bad but it left me wanting more. So looked on the internet and found a whole bunch of places for information and better PVs. I hope I can gain more information here.

PS: I smoke about a half a pack to full pack a day of analogs.

Welcome to ECF!

If you're smoking half a pack to a full pack every day then you might like the Riva or eGo type batteries. Liberty Flights has them both and if you click on the Discount Code at the top, you'll save another 20% off the price! Shipping is dirt cheap at a flat 2.99.

I started with the Riva and quit smoking even though that wasn't my intention. We have lots of "accidental quitters" here.

Welcome, Maj! There are a jillion different ecigs and mods out there, and this site has so much info it will keep you out of trouble for at least a week. Happy vaping!

 

[MajMcMuffins]

Thanks for the welcome.

I was actually looking at the Riva special edition for the extra half volt, and some E Liquid to get started.

Hey maj - you found a great forum. More info here than you'll ever have time to read....lol

X2 Woman of heart.

You'll have a great chance of quitting the smokes if you get yourself a goodun.

Most popular first ecigs here, from very short battery life to very long

And I am talking about MANUAL batteries for all of these. Most people here use and recommend manual batteries - less easily damaged or killed by juices leaks, will not turn on accidentally from wind or vibration, more control of your hit

100mah is about an hour of moderate vaping

Joye 510 w/ manual batteries (I use w/ blank cartomizers) - 180mah (Cignot.com, PCC at NoSmokeVA.com)

Joye 510 w/ manual mega xl batteries (I also use w/ cartos) - 280mah but long (128mm w/ carto) (FreedomSmokeUSA.com, only a less roomy metal PCC available)

KR808D-1 w/ standard manual batteries (prefilled or blank cartos) - 280mah and 120mm long 2/ carto (LiteCiguSA.net, Vapor4Life.com, PCC is a non-roomy flat metal pack)

Then the fat battery models - very popular

Ego or Riva 510 w/ 650mah-1300mah batteries and can optionally use hotter power-hungry low resistance attys & cartos

I use both 510 manuals and KR808D-1 manual, have full charging setup at work, NoSmokeVA PCC for the 510 and for holding both 510 and KR8 cartomizers. And I carry a charged Riva 510 battery with me.

Re prefilled - only a tiny convenience since EVERYTHING need eliquid (unless you are a millionaire and want to throw away prefilled cartos every day), Prefilled is not even a convenience if you don't like what is in the cart or carto.

In general I recommend
KNOWN POPULAR MODEL NUMBERS
MANUAL BATTERIES

Welcome MajMcMuffins ! (love the name !)

You stumbled into the right place !!

So ....are you wanting to stay with the cigarette style, or are you wanting something different ?

 

[MajMcMuffins]

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

@dormouse
I have slowly started remember all the numbers. The one I know by hart is the 510 since it quite popular.

@classwife
I have been looking at the Riva 510 special edition so I can get an extra half volt and some juice to start off with. I am thinking that the extra battery life will be worth it in the long run so I am not swapping batteries out quite often.

 

[Del Boy]

Great choice maj. You will be well happy with that one.

 

[classwife]

The Riva is a good choice.....

 

[MajMcMuffins]

Is there anything else that I should get with my initial purchase?

 

[Del Boy]

Maybe some empty carts. For filling with your own juice.

 

[classwife]

I would get 2 extra attys.....and liquid....


Are you wanting to use carts or cartomizers ? If cartos...get a few more of them.


I "drip" so...no carts or cartos....

 

[classwife]

Or 2 extra tank attys an a box of tanks if you're going to use them....!

 

[MajMcMuffins]

Ill look for the attys and some more carts. Thanks a bunch for the help.
