Any help on a first setup

Status
Not open for further replies.
Im looking to buy my first vape system but there is so much information to sift through. Im looking for something with a refillable tank (i feel like id blow through cartridges) and possibly replaceable wicks but my price range is probably 35-55 dollars to start. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction or provide a recommendation?

Depends on a few variables, type of juice, how much you vape.

In the beginning, probably 1 week, maybe two. ( a month punkkin? With cleaning a few times right?)

If you get a tank with replaceable atomizers, sometimes those can be cleaned and reused a few times.

My suggestion, get atleast a few extra atomizers when you first start. Those are the part you tend to replace often, and will be purchasing from now on, besides juice.

Whatever tank you get, evod, ce4..... Go to YouTube and search cleaning. It will help get you going.

Looking like i have some pretty good info to go off of. Around how long will a coil head last me?

I really think that's going to depend on what you vape and how often. Most of my stuff is either 100% or Mostly VG and I go for 2-3 days before I clean my EVOD's and then they get rebuilt generally every 2 weeks or so. Please keep in mind that that is for me and my habits and your mileage may vary wildly. Also know that eventually you are going to get a bad tank/carto/whatever so make sure and have backups.
2 is 1 and 1 is none and all that....

Correct, I clean them whenever I change flavors.
 
Im thinking im going to go with the kanger evod, its well within my price range and has good reviews so it seems. No point in me waiting a couple weeks ill spend more than i save on cigarettes in those 2 weeks of waiting anyways. I appreciate all your help. Ill probably be starting off with some 18-24 mg liquids, any recommendations on preferred brands/websites. I live in fort bragg, nc and from my research the closests vape shops are at least an hour away

You should be happy, remember there is a learning curve. It sounds dumb but there is.

Inhale/ draw technique is key.

Juice is very subjective, tastes vary. But I will toss out my current list. I have been vaping for about 3 months. I have tried probably 7 juice makers, found a few from each I like. Get a few to start, your tongue will get used to a flavor and it won't taste as good so the recommendation is to have a rotation. I vape one juice during the day, and two at night. Change em up every few days. Quitting smoking will play some games with taste too, couple weeks in you will taste better.

I have 25liquids in my cabinet now
Halo - mocha, belgan cocoa, TriBeCa, Turkish
( TriBeCa, Turkish I wasn't a fan of )
Vapure - German chocolate coffee, ry80
( ry80 is tobacco with Carmel and chocolate )
Zikwid - honey blonde, zanilla, zy4
( honey blonde is tobacco with honey, my daily choice, zy4 is tobacco and Carmel )
Alien visions ( ave) - bobas bounty, gorilla juice, English toffee, pg chia
( bobas is a well talked about flavor on the forums, I like it. Tobacco with graham cracker and a bit of raisin. Gorilla juice, bobas flavor add banana. It's good. Pg chia is very chia like, was for the girl. English toffee I just received and it's good, but long term unknown )

Ecigsupply.com is where I get zikwid, and halo
Vapure.com
Avejuice.com for alien visions

Also read up on steeping, I just started doing that with the alien visions juice and it is apparent the change in flavor. For the better, but some juices are steeped before they sell them, halo for one. Local shops sometimes mix their own, I only have one shop here and he strictly only sells his own juice. Not good, his flavors are weak. Make sure to check out a few makers, not all juice is made equally.
