As new as new can get

[vail0512]

First day on this site. Been thinking about e-cig now for about a year but I have always loved the real smoke feeling (15 years now). I have no knowledge, no experience, and this is the beginning for me. Seems like even the NOOBs have a ton of info here. Looking for a starting point and ecf seems to be that place. Any tips or product ideas for a total new guy would be great. Thanks in advance for the advice!

welcome to the forum. First of all, definitely do it. It is so easy to quit smoking regular cigarettes by switching to an e-cig. As far as what to get...there are so many choices. I started with V2cigs. They were a good starting point but for very heavy smokers like myself I found I was killing batteries to quickly and not getting enough flavor or vapor. I recently switched to an ego system which I love so far. Start with something. i think no matter which system you use you will eventually switch to something else anyway. It seems once you get into vaping you get hooked and are always looking to upgrade your system for better performance. Keep in mind no matter what you get it's not exactly like smoking real cigarettes but I think you'll find it's close enough and you will soon learn to enjoy e-cigs more than analogs.

You might want to start with Joyetech. ego Twists or Vision Spinners. Get 2 batteries so one is always charged. Get some 1.8ohm cartomizers and the juice of your choice. This would be an above average starting point.

I can tell you the upfront cost is a little on the expensive side, but once you got your stash of liquids and a few batteries, cartos and clearos you'll be very happy you did this.

This is the best advice. I learned by doing...and I'm still learning.

Wow... Thanks for the advice. I keep hearing the eGo brand so I figure I will check that out first I guess. Thanks again

Watch out for knock offs as sometimes they arent as good..Try to use vendors from this forum just my .

So I went with the Fatty from VaporTokers. I guess its made by Joyetech but with a little bit of their twist. Also, it's local so I can just go in person. So far I like it and like others have said, I am sure the more I learn the more I will change things and find my own twist. Thanks again for the help!
