co-worker gave me $60 and told me to get her something

[Kyi]

Basically, I work at a bar and I usually use my e-cig, which has caught a lot of attention from customers and co-workers alike. I'm using a Firefly (pretty much an eGo with LEDs), and when one of my co-workers asked how much it cost, I told her it was roughly $40. She wants me to order her an e-cig and some random juices (said she didn't care but wanted the juice to taste like cigarettes), and gave me $60. She is Russian so she doesn't know English very well, which is why she asked me to do this for her.

So now my question is, with $60... what should I order her and what juice should I get for her? She said she wanted low nicotine and some nicotine free stuff.

Bump for your russian co-worker (And also coz I need 15 posts for my signature thingy!) ...

Grab her a kGo from hoosier and the 15 carto deal from Crystal Clear vaping and ask nicely in the order comments from both sites if they can send some sample juices for a new user (tobacco flavors if they can).

Also try to open her up to the idea of vaping flavors other than "cigarette", we all know by now that it is the last flavor most of us want. Once she gets used to it, she'll have enough cartos and a decent set up to last her a while, and she can spend a bit more money finding her perfect flavor.

Maybe not the greatest way to spend the $60, but it's probably what I would do to ensure they have a good set up.

Dark City Vapor has kgo kit with cartomizers & tobacco sampler pack. One stop shop.

I'd stick with the eGo format.

My favorite tobacco is still Ikenvape's 555. It is nutty and tobacco-y, and the PG version has a moderate throat hit which would probably be preferable to someone coming of cigarettes. He has 30 ml at 9.99 right now also (33 cents per ml is a nice price for this juice).

Get some single coil 1.7 ohm or 2 ohm cartos with a nice genuine ego kit. I recommend bluemistvaping, super cheap and high quality juices. Rob's blackjack is their signature tobacco, it grows on you but it's definitely not a normal tobacco.

Bump for Dark City Vapor. The KGO kit from him comes with 5-6 cartomizers, plus you get a discount on a box of Boges when you buy the kit. He juices are decent...and you can get 3 sample bottles for $5.00....as many sample kits as you want to order.

There are better deals out there. Definitely stay with the eGo set up.

If she likes your eGo style, get her one like that - you know she'll come back to you for help, so if you're using the same model it's easier to guide her through it.

I don't think you'll ever find a liquid that tastes like a cigarette, but 5ml samplers from Dark City Vapors or ECBlends or Johnson Creek (they have a full sampler for around 20, sweets and tobacco).

I'm not necessarily dissenting from the eGo tide (it's the battery I use much of the time). But if you detect a preference for cigarette size and shape, as is so often the case with beginners, I'd go with a Volt starter kit from Smokeless Image. Smokeless Image | Only The Best Electronic Cigarette | Starter Kits. Maybe order the "Basic Starter Kit" there ($45), an additional pack of blank cartomizers ($9.00), and a bit of whatever juice from wherever that gets most convincingly recommended here. Their cartomizers are what I use on every device I presently use.

 

[ricks]

I started with SmokeTip.com. They have the best battery warranty(LIFETIME) and cheapest carto prices. When you buy 3 ten packs of cartos, you get a free battery. Great for beginners

 

[Mac]

Why not just send her the same setup that worked for you?

 

[Andyhrn]

Just tell her to buy "Mistic" brand in Wal-mart or gas station. She probably wants to start with a regular cig size battery .

Actually, she told me that she wanted exactly what I had because she doesn't know much and wants me to help her with it. With that being said, I'm almost wondering if I should just give her what I have (its fairly new) and give her some cartomizers and that I already have, and get the kGo for myself. Of course, I'd give her back some of the money unless she just wants me to order a bunch of juices and get some drip tips. I've been interested in the kGo.. or maybe I'll get that and let her try both and see which one she prefers. Can someone tell me whats so great about the kGo?

 

[ricks]

She should get the NEW kit. I feel that it would be very nasty to give her your old stuff and you keep the new for yourself.

You can get a really great deal on that stuff for her, if you know where to look. I know Smokeforpennys isn't an ECF vendor (I don't think anyway, I might be wrong), but I love that shop, I order a lot of stuff from Penny Saddler and I've never been disappointed. She's running specials right now on a couple of small kit (single battery) EGO style ecigs, for pretty cheap, I'll link you to a few. If you buy either of these specials, you'll definitely want to pick up some extra cartos though. Maybe a couple attys and drip tip if she's interested in dripping.

As for liquid, I've get to taste a regular tobacco liquid that tastes like a cigarette. Now that they aren't good, but it's not the same. Menthols get a lot closer, in my experience, than regular tobacco however. I'm not sure that low nic is a good place for her to start. I'd think she's want to start at at least 18mg, just to get over the detox. After that it'll be a lot easier to switch to a lower nic content.

 

[Kyi]

I am only talking about giving her the batteries, I would give new cartomizers (I have a bunch that are unopened) and order her some new drip tips and juice and give her back some of her money. That is just an idea though, but I'd like to buy the juice, tips, and kit off the same site if possible because I'm not going to spend more than what she gave me.

By the way, are kGo and eGO parts interchangeable? Like, do 510 atomizers work on the kGo? I'm really just considering letting her try both and let her pick what she wants, I usually drip but she may want to stick with cartos.

 

[ricks]

I will never understand why people drip. Too many better ways to vape. I tried it once, and will never get it.

Did you start out with an ego? Might be easier for her to start out with an 808 kit. Smokeless image has 2 kits under $60 and they come with some prefilled cartos too. You can even throw in a couple battery/carto wraps and comfort tips. Maybe you can trade some juice you didn't care for for some tobacco juice here on ECF.
