Hmm it seems like having a VW isn't a necessity for me as a beginner, though it seems for super advanced vapers, they can't live without it. I guess VW wasn't as important as I thought, though VV is important to me because I like to vary how hard the vape will hit.

Anyone have any "beginner VV" batteries, as the only ones I'm familiar with are the ego twist and VAMO.

You really can't go wrong with an eGo Twist. They are inexpensive compared to larger mods and they get the job done. A VAMO is VV & VW, by the way. VV vs VW is a popular debate at the moment.

People seem to like the Ego C Twists with variable volts, alot of people that have Mods actually use these as well and seem to enjoy them a Vamo is a Mod that happens to be very low cost so I wouldnt link those 2 together since it is a variable watt and varialbe volt its their size difference I think people like.

The Spinner seems to be as good, if not better than the Twist. I don't have a Spinner, but many do, and like them. I do have a Twist, and like it, but I have to have a magnifying glass to see the settings on it. The Spinner is easier to read. Can't tell you about the Vamo. Many like those, too. I guess a good thing about the Vamo is the changeable batteries where the Twist and the Spinner IS the battery.

I started off with an Ego Twist and now have a spinner, 1 month later. I am looking for something like a Provari or eVic but I am in no rush bc I am still trying to figure out if I want to spend the coin for it, the only thing that I really like about the is the ability to test my coils since I make them myself now. But being able to hit the voltage I need is good enough for the moment, I think sitting on here makes me want a supreme setup but like I said no rush

I absolutely endorse picking up an advanced mod and set up as your first device. I don't personally feel that there is that much of a difference in the learning curve between cartos and carts, or atties and all that between the beginner packages and advanced packages. I always encourage my real life friends who I get into vaping to start with a Saber Touch mod (which is my personal favorite) and it's very "advanced".

Personally? I never would have quit smoking on an ego alone and I know that. As long as you're willing to put the effort in, go for it =)

I agree with this, I quit smoking because of my Mod you can read my story here:

If you are feeling adventurous, want something really easy to see the voltage settings (and a full range from 3v to 6v in .01 increments...which the Twist and Spinner do NOT have) but with a slightly unconventional look...check out the VV Gripper, or the Ovale V8. They are "box" mods...but not really because they are rounded. Just "boxy" and not a tube. They both have ohm checkers and battery level readouts. Very nice devices, low cost. Yes...they are not metal but plastic, but with reasonable care they are sturdy enough and they do work very very well.

Other options would be the Smoktech Groove or the iTaste MVP. Also "box" mods and also with VV. The Groove also sports VW. They do NOT have replaceable batteries, but both have really really long battery life (high mAh). Not terribly expensive. The MVP is metal, and the Groove is a hard plastic like the V8.

I personally like the "box" or hand friendly shaped APVs because they are generally easier to hold. The ones I"ve mentioned all are easy to navigate, set and use, and all are reasonably economical while you are getting your feet wet. Heck...even if you've been at it awhile! My VV Gripper and Ovale V8s are about all I'm using now, and I've been around the block a few times in the past 16+ months of vaping!

Another vote for starting with an eGo/Twist. It's a perfectly good and you can vape while reading the threads and configuring your dream set-up. If I had started out with an advanced mod I don't think I would have appreciated the benefits since I had nothing to compare to.

I recently put together an à la carte kit that is actually a little overkill, but it has lots of things to play with: One Joytech 1000mAh Twist $22.00; one Joyetech 650mAh Twist $19.00; one USB charger $4.50; one Vision vivi mini nova kit (comes with 2 extra heads) $9.50; one Kanger T3 $6.50; one Kanger replacement head for T3 $2.50; CE XL clearos (pack of 5) $8.50; three 6ml bottles of juice @ $3.00 each: $9.00; less 5% coupon. Total: $77.50 + shipping.

Not all of the delivery systems are necessary or others may be selected, this is just an example of what can be put together instead of getting a starter kit.

You should try to find a Spinner, it lasts longer
