YES! Do NOT get automatic
batteries!! Manual batts much better with loud sound or vibration - plus they are sealed so you don't ruin them with leaking
juice!
An Ego or F16/Hello is a great PV and what most of us
vaping awhile would recommend to someone that wants to get started with a good kit. As opposed to buying 3 or 4 kits before discovering some of them are just crap lol.
If you don't want to shell out the price of an eGo you can get a manual 510 kit for like $35 but the eGo and up... You can get longer battery life, you can try LR atomizers if you want too!
cignot.com has great prices on the ego as well as a no box 510 kit.
A bunch of places sell the F16/Hello, not sure who has the best prices. I know nhaler.com carries them though.
Good luck!
