Best Vendor for a Newb

[nightshark]

Hi All!

I have been smoke free for two weeks today! Bought the kgo kit from Hoosierecig and some cartos. A few days later I order a sampler from Johnson's creek. I'm not in love with their juices and would like some advice. Which vendor would you consider the best in terms of juice and equiptment, and accessories? I would like to be able to purchase everything at once and not get ripped off. There are so many vendors!

vape Dudes.com is a good site to check out. they give a great one time discount on juices, which opens the door for a lot of ones to just try out. I'm a newbie, so I felt they were pretty fair and have good recomendations from folks here.

It's hard to pick one vendor to purchase everything, to be honest. Some vendors specialize in juice, some specialize in carts, mods and atomizers. That's really a hard and very good question. I've vaped over a year and I still can't purchase everything I love from one vendor. I guess if you wanted to make yourself do it and not be fully satisfied, you could. I purchase most of my atomizers from either Avid Vaper or Ikenvape. I purchase my juice from Clouds of Vapor, and I purchase my DIY stuff mostly from My Freedom Smokes and The Perfumers Apprentice. Now if one vendor sold all that stuff, it would be heaven. hehe...

The secret is after awhile is to learn to buy several of what you want and budget accordingly for it, therefore the shipping isn't bad.

Great thread

Honestly you won't find everything in one site. HHV for juices. I get my tanks, cartos, RA's, atomizers, all over the place.

As far as recommending devices, it all depends upon your personal preferences. Some vendors specialize in beginner or cigarette look-alikes like Smokeless Image (Volt). I sort of skipped the mid-level Ego type batteries because Smokeless Image had the bigger X2 batteries that are comparable to the Ego. I went with AltSmoke for my first big battery mods because the vendor had the quality hardware, customer service, and delivery I was used to from Smokeless Image.

As far as juice goes, my recommendations would be to read the juice forums here (there are two) to get ideas of juices and vendors to try. You may eventually find your niche of flavors within the numerous categories...mine happen to be the coffee flavors; and you may find your tastes run similar to certain particular posters that you can share flavor reviews with.

My experience has taught me to save money by ordering sample packs or smaller trial size bottles initially until I decide I like a juice or not. Since I don't drip, I test my small samples of juice in the new small capacity CE3's. They are easy to fill and empty, you can see the juice, no polyfill to alter flavor, economical, disposable yet reusable. Therefore I'm not wasting an entire carto or tank on a juice I may not like or use again.

Where do you buy the CE3's from?

Another vendor I like for inexpensive good tasting American juice is MadVapes. They also have allot of cool stuff at great prices. They are kind of the big boys on the block!

I'm new to this but I got my first from e-cig . com The e-juice is pretty cheap... My boyfriend bought me the Ego CE4 as a 2 year anniversary gift. I quit smoking 2 years ago but we found out that nicotine is one of the first treatments for ADD which I have. (I refuse to take narcotic medications so I am untreated.... Here's the link: e-cig . com

madvapes is another of my favorite, fast and cheap!

You can purchase them in the 501 threading your KGo has from Got Vapes. I use these as well and highly recommend them. Once you get the hang of it they are easy to fill and extremely easy to clean. Just by running some water through them you can get the taste of your last juice out and put a new one in.

I have been vaping for three years and I give another thumbs up for Madvapes. They have always been great and I think their juice is the most under rated around. It can be a tad inconsistent. It's always been good just not always exactly the same. however their prices are great.
