Confused with VaporFi Website

Their 50w box and subtank do look really nice, but for $250 thats insane. If the kit was priced reasonably say $100-125 they could probably sell a couple of them.

vaporfi sounds like a great deal!

only kidding, it's a scam.

When I first got into this years ago I won't mention from what company, I spent a $100 on my first kit and when I learned more here on the ECF, I realized I had been taken.
I still get emails from the company offering their fantastic deals. Companies like this target the new and inexperienced.

With the budget you said you had to spend, you really do have pretty much a pick of the litter, as even a provari would fall within that rage (other than the P3), but I agree with getting 2 kits, as you should always have backups.

I personally have the iPV Mini ($60 range) and iStick 30 ($30/$40 range) both are very good mods and give you more options than some of the starter kits will. So my best advice would be to decide what type of form factor you want, and if you know for sure vaping is for you. If unsure about vaping even a $20 kit can help you decide without spending all your cash.

They sent the 50w box mod to Phil Busardo to review.

To say he was "politically sensitive" was probably the best thing about the review. He called it "too expensive" but the other features and quirks were a true disaster.

The way I saw it, it was a flawed $40-$50 box mod, priced up at $199.99.

IStick 50W ($50)and Nautilus mini tank (under $30) pack of coils ($15) excellent vape.

OK, so I got out of the 4G/3G black hole I was in that was limiting me to 2G... poop. Lousy weather. Anyhow, as promised, here are the links, all from Vape Super Saver. Keep in mind he's kind of a mom and pop (or just pop, I guess) operation, so his site is a bit chintzy and has a few glitches. Great selection and awesome customer service (in my experience, anyhow) make this a standby site for me, though:

Here is the EVOD Mega starter kit for $19.99. They have 4 colors to choose from, but I'd get the stainless version since scratches won't show in the future and any new tanks will look nicer on it.

Here is a 5 pack of the new Kanger dual coils for $8.99. I'd get the 1.2 ohm, myself with that HUGE battery capacity.

That's $28.98 for a full starter kit with spare coils. Not bad. Vape Super Saver also offers free 1st class shipping on all orders over $15. Even better. You'll be hard pressed to beat this deal.

Some things to consider... no juice here. Vape Super Saver does offer a smallish selection of premium juices from Adirondack and Suicide Bunny, but I'd personally go to your local vape shop after the kit comes in and sample some teeny bottles from their selection in person.

Also, this is a pretty basic tank with a good capacity, but no advanced features like airflow control. It also feeds air directly into the coil from the base of the 510 connector. I personally would consider getting an Aerotank from the same site here at $15.99. I know their site is a bit janked up with the page title and tank diameter (lots of tanks on his site list as 30mm), but it's the right tank at 18.5 mm and it will fit this device NICELY. This tank is also why I suggested the stainless battery finish. That's a total of $44.97 for a bad ... starter kit with a spare "meh" tank. By the way, the Aerotank uses the same coils as the EVOD Mega tank, so you're set there and even have an extra coil from the EVOD tank (that's 8 coils total, 3x 1.5 ohm, 5x 1.2 ohm).

I know some subtanks fit on this battery flush, but I'd never use one. What you ultimately have here is a big, high capacity Ego battery and you run a serious risk of over-discharging the battery. Really with the Aerotank on the 1.2 ohm coils, you're pretty golden and will chuck out a more than respectable amount of vapor with LOTS of flavor.

You're getting a high quality, well built device that will last a long time with a minimum of maintenance and VERY affordable coils. It's also got passthrough charging so you don't need to unscrew the battery from the tank EVERY time to charge it up. This is about as convenient and easy as it gets for under $50... and you have $150 to blow on juice! Just some food for thought.

Replace the starter kit with the Kanger IPOW 1600 Mah battery for an extra $3 and you don't need to worry about that throwaway tank, will still have passthrough capability, and can control wattage output from 3 to 15 watts. Still under $50, too. This battery will work great at 1.0 ohms and probably work fine with the 0.8 ohm heads given its voltage range up to 6 volts.

Personally I think one of the best and easiest set ups for beginners would be the istick 30 and the nautilus mini. Easy to maintain and to learn on and easy to upgrade to another tank later if you wanted to. And it doesn't cost a lot to get started with it.

I've only ordered from VaporFi once and it was for their 3 x 10ml sampler pack. I got to mix up to three flavors per 10ml bottle and I have to say I found the $25 to be worth it, very tasty, quality juice. It was a nice way to try different flavors.

As far as their kits or what have you, always shop around for the best price and quality of what your looking for. Based on the other posts VaporFi isn't the best place for equipment.

25 bucks is a bit overpriced for a 30 mil sample pack... not as outrageous as their other prices, but it's typical of VaporFi practices. All of their juices are just rebadged cheap Chinese juices. If you're lucky, you got Dekang juices worth about $12 retail, total. Nothing wrong with them if you like them, but certainly not worth the $25 they charged.

^^
Won't argue with your logic, really wasn't a great price and most likely not going to order from again. I was just saying it wasn't terrible juice, I haven't been vaping for very long and have yet to repeat a flavor, too many to try. However, Caribbean Stud from High Roller Sweets is definitely on my list to remember for ADV.

What's your source for this information? I was just about to order some of their juices. Your post made me pause. Their website is very specific about their eliquid being made in USA in their FDA registered lab and they publish detailed reports on their nicotine, glycerin, and flavorings. Not many juice manufacturers bother to do that. Now I'm confused!
