I can't watch videos on my slow internet, but yes, if it's a real Kanger Evod, you will find it much more satifying!
Okay, I got the beginning to load on my computer, that is an excellent kit, and you will be able to customize it to your liking, slowly, without spending a fortune!

COPD,
That Kanger/Evod kit is not a bad choice.
There are 2 basic styles of "simple" heads. The on in the picture is an EVOD-style BCC. You should also try one of the top-coil clearomizers (someone previously posted a link to some that would work with your existing battery). The TCC's are more bullet-shaped, and most have long wicks hanging down.
Some people like the TCC's, some like the BCC's. They give very different experiences. TCC's are easier to fill. I use both, though.
(There are a lot of other kinds of heads, but these 2 types are the most popular, particularly for starters).

My setup came with top coil, but I have been buying bottom coil. The top coils are easier to fill, but I'm a BCC lover! It's nice and inexpensive to try both.
I was a 2+ pad smoker and I went with mainly top coils as I prefer a warmer vape, but I have all different types. I think everyone should try one of each to see which they like best. There are also carto tanks to try.
Don't be afraid to ask even more questions whenever you need to, this is a very friendly and helpful group!
Where is the wick on a BCC? I don't see any cotton-looking stuff in any of the videos, but they talk about wicks.
yes, they have wick, tiny ones you can only see when you disassemble.
barely 1mm each side of the holes.
There are 2 types of clearomizers. With most clearos the head can be washed and dry burned as part of a maintenance program. Heads can also be easily and inexpensively replaced.
Top Coil- Head (wick+ coil) is at top of clearomizer and gives a warmer vape- has long wicks
Bottom Coil- Head is at bottom of clearomizer and gives a cooler vape- has very short wicks
Hi COPD, welcome to ECF.
If you're in town Feb 16th, you could think about coming to the Birmingham vapemeet, 6pm at Avondale Brewery. It'll give you a chance to see some of the options in person and meet some other vapers.

That's not true at all. You can always buy an 808 to 510 adapter. They only cost $3 last time I checked.
Also, in my experience, 510 threaded stuff is far less reliable. There are often problems with the way things fit together, leaking clearos seems to be the norm, and quite frankly 95% of 510 threaded parts are just cheap Chinese made garbage. The truth is, if you're going to stick with high quality parts only, even in 510 you've only got about 5 companies to choose from.
Since he has 808 parts already, IF he wanted to look into upgrades the Halo Triton would be his best offer. Yes, it's 808 which makes it more proprietary, but being more proprietary is actually a GOOD thing. For one, everything he already has would work on a Halo battery (And Halo does have VV batteries as well). Also, Halo parts are made to work as complete systems, not just generic parts which fit other generic parts. Their batteries last longer than Ego with the same mAh ratings, their clearos fit perfectly and NEVER leak a drop, their coil designs are FAR superior to any top coil clearo you're going to find on an Ego, and everything is always made to the highest quality.
510 threading could be described as a Jack of all trades, Master of none. You can be sure that everything will screw together, but have no guarantees on quality, or even if the parts actually work once screwed together.
And then there is the other problem with 510 threading that no one likes to talk about....

I see them now! Thanks...Bottom Coil- Head is at bottom of clearomizer and gives a cooler vape- has very short wicks
Thanks CES
Hopefully I'll be back on the road by then.
Here's a search engine for Vendors. Realize the B&M Shops will be more expensive than online but you get to see (and maybe try) the Ecigs and better yet can sample juices before you buy.

Wishing You the Very Best of Luck.

I just placed a bid on this New Genuine Kangertech Kanger Evod Starter Kit Double Set Stainless Steel | eBay . It would be great if I could win it for less than $32.00, which is the cheapest one I could find everywhere else on the internet. (Money is super tight right now.)
and I ordered
Extreme Ice E Juice Baker Vapor
Nicotine Strength: 0 mg/ml, Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml,
Grape E Juice Baker Vapor
Nicotine Strength: 0 mg/ml, Blend: PG 50% VG 50% , Bottle Size: 15 ml,
Wild Cherry E Juice Baker Vapor
Nicotine Strength: 0 mg/ml, Blend: PG 65% VG 35%, Bottle Size: 15 ml,
from Baker Mtn to refill my empty cartridges with.
I have some 21mg patches the hospital gave me, so I'm hoping I can wear a patch and vape with 0 nicotine.
I don't know anything about the PG/VG ratios, so I'm experimenting with those - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...unt-bakor-vapor-pg-vg-blend.html#post12010423

Good luck.
I hope you "win" the bid.
I can vape zero or not even vape at all with a patch. I could never do it when I was a smoker.
I don't know what that tells me but IF they ban it all, I will vape zero (if I can) and reduce my patch strength.

Congrats.
Juice Components
Flavoring usually about 3- 15%- could be higher or lower depending on the flavor used.
PG enhances flavor, TH and lung hit- water like - many of us believe PG to be a throat irritant.
VG= vapor and can mute flavor- thick
Nicotine- TH, lung hit and our need for nicotine. The MOST important ingredient in regards to TH and lung hit.
Standards in the industry are 80/ 20 or 70/ 30 PG/ VG. Many are moving towards a 50/ 50 ratio as it provides a smoother vape. Some also have a sensitivity to PG. High VG can sometimes cause wicking issues because of it's thick viscosity- easily remedied by adding a tiny amount of distilled water. High PG juices can sometimes cause flooding.

You are going for this big time!
I quit using 808 equipment, so I'd better go and have a vape and not revisit this thread.
Hi and welcome to ECF! No need to apologize for your questions, we all started somewhere and have asked a few questions in our lifetime! Happy vaping!
