Hello Community,

I making a research about e-cigs, but a read so many reviews, articles, model description e.t.c and now i cant decide what to buy.
I found that Joye eGo its the best choice for start, Im right or not?
If yes which one cart or Tank model and what the benefits and disadvantages?
Any good online store with worldwide shipping? (Cyprus).(With good reviews)
What about Nicotine, I see 18mg etc, how can i measure my own needs (about 1pack cigs per 2 days with normal cigs)
Im sorry if my questions are answered before but i read a lot of post and i dont found exactly what i need, Maybe I dont find the right threads.

Thank you in advance!

If you get the regular ego and decide you want the ego-t later on, you just need to buy the tank and atty, the battery is the same.

As far as the MG, i'd get varying strengths util you find one that you like. I've noticed with the ecig (before my old 510 died) my cravings would be more far apart with the ecig than the analogs.. maybe the mg was higher? placebo? i don't know.

I would not bother with the tank if you smoke 10 cigs a day.

I would get an Ego or "Riva 510" based system.
I would get carts and a couple of types of "drip tips".
Get bottles of medium (12mg, 14mg ect) strength juice, 5ml in size, get 4 or 5 flavours.

You will probably hate one or two of the flavours you pick. Do not worry about it, the 5ml sizes are cheap.

You might find you need stronger than a "medium" strength, do not worry about it, you can always use it as spare juice in the future.

You might find that medium is too strong, you can water it down with some VG juice in the future.

Keep posting and asking about which companies to use. The Ecig forum tries to keep newbies and suppliers away from each other a little bit :) so do not expect suppliers to answer you very often. But do feel free to start a thread with a title asking for suppliers to cyprus, am sure you will get some good answers.

Welcome to ECF ..you, my in opinion made a great start with the ego
before going to tanks or anything exotic, try low resistance atty's
and vary the juices you try, both nic level and flavors and pg/vg levels
you have just started your journey into the 'smoke free' adventure
your tastes are going to change as you get used to vaping and away
from all the chemicals(poisons) that smokes had.
good luck, enjoy vaping and ask anything here at any time

Hello,
Thank you all for your respond to my question!
Well, As you said I will order the Joye eGo cart and if i need the Tank i will order the extra part for the tank.
How many times can i refill the carts, so i must change them?
Now the question about suppliers, can you help me find a supplier that shipp WorldWide and its ok to trust?
Thank you in advance
EDIT:
This is a sample of my cart at greenhouse, they can shipp to Cyprus as you can see, Is there anything else that a I need?
I need an case to protect it and curing with me, i see a model on the net that its like a real cigs pack that its charger etc, i think is the best case for me, do you know where can i get this? as cheap as you can.

I would just use the standard cartomizers as you will easily go all day on a single one (being a half pack/day smoker). You can refill 3 or 4 times before needing to replace - of course each person is different and may be able to go more or less. Either way, you just fill up a carto (or top it off) each morning and go for the day. Just my opinion! Good luck!

Great advice from everyone! You seemed to have got very good prices on your order. I carry stuff im my ego case, have a PCC charger case, unless going out of town dont carry it with me because my batteries last all day. at $42.00 it was kind of a waste. I charge 650/900 egos in it, maybe will charge 3 batts before you have to rechg it, takes longer than wall charger. My preference is my cylinder atty with mega cart on both egos. Ive had my Ego-T for over a week now, when it is good, its great, but when its bad you try everything, then starts working again. You cant go wrong with Vanilla and a Tobacco, i mixed mine, liked that combo, IMO Energy Drink taste like nasty cough syrup but you might love it. Do you need a syringe to fill cartomizers? Cartos are not my fav but thats personal opinion. This is my 2 cents. Whatever you decide cant be wrong, you have already made the right decision to start vaping!

Whoa...I soooo over paid for my cartomizers.

For what its worth, I was more or less @ 10 a day and I really like those cartomizers. I have some that are 2 ohm. I like the extra "oooomph" I'm getting from the 2 ohm cartomizers, but they sure burn juice fast. I'm ready to order more (I've kinda given them out to people as I don't really like the idea of them demoing my tips) and will likely get the 3 ohm like you've chosen. $5 for 5 seems to be a great deal to me.

I normally stick to 1 flavor type (more or less) and have been using a single cartomizer for the better part of a week. Its gotten much more use than ½ pack per day :). I find it funny when people say, "you were ½ a pack a day - you can go an entire day on a cartomizer". I can't. I'm lucky if I get 2 hours. Maybe because I'm using the LR cartomizers? I have top it off several times during my day (drip tips FTW!). It takes like 30 seconds really - like dripping but lasts longer. Much better than the tank I have. If you're patient and let it soak for a while, you'll get more vape per refill, but who has time for this "patience" stuff?

Anyway - the cartomizer I was using finally got to the point where I felt it wasn't producing like it should and I tossed it today. I can't really complain - I enjoyed it for an entire week. Was kinda sad to see it go though. Like saying goodbye to an old friend :(

...and then I opened a new one and I was happy again :)

(note: the mega cartomizers DO last me an entire day and then some, but they are a pain to fill as you need a syringe. The boge style are much easier. I'd be ecstatic if one of these little boge style cartomizers would last me a full day.)

You might want to add a drip tip. You can pull the little rubber tip out of the boge and use a drip tip. They sell them on the site you're ordering from. It makes it a breeze to top off when needed.

If I were you, I'd worry about a case later. The ego is pretty sturdy. Mine lives in my pocket when not in use and I feel its pretty secure. 1 battery takes me the majority of my day - nearly 14 hours away from home. I tend to switch batteries in the middle of the day out of habit, but I've made it an entire day on a single battery, albeit, less than my normal use. The battery is small...like carrying a lighter. I'd pick up another charger assuming you'll have access to a USB port through out your day: Joye eGo USB Charger. I've found it a nice accessory. Charge both batteries as you sleep and you'll be fine for a full day.

Nicotine level: you're on your own. I read most people use 24mg nic. That just demolished me far too quick. Headaches, dizzy, nausea, etc. It didn't help that this was all new and exciting to me. Even 12 was a bit much for me and I'm a decent sized guy. I recently received some samples from Blue Mist and I mistakenly ordered 16mg. A few "drags" reminded me why I dropped down to 4mg! (You 36mg'ers out there amaze me.) You're really going to have to get a few bottles of different strengths to figure out what you're happy with. I'd personally get a few empty bottles for your own mixes and a large bottle of 0 nic juice. Stuff like Vanilla and menthol mix decent with just about anything. That way you can at least cut your nic levels down if needed. It would really suck to see you order a bunch of 24-16mg juices only to find out your tolerance is closer to 8mg.

I have been vaping on an EGo since September and love it. Make sure and check out MisstressNomads videos she is great for all your newbie needs. She explains many things that even I am still learning about. I have a pass through battery and have order the tanks but not yet received them. I think starting out the EGo is the way to go. I have been DIY my own juices for about a month and have loved doing that too. Good luck on no analogs. I smoked for 27 years and have stopped completely this is the way to go!!!
