Here's my two cents:

For the most part, you seem to have all the basics covered. Only two things jumped out at me.

I probably would have opted for smaller bottles of e-liquid until I knew for certain if I liked it.

The pass through battery might have been a bit of overkill. I would have replaced it with a charging case to keep the e-cig always ready to go.

Keep in mind, what may be right for me may be different for you. There's really no wrong as long as you have all the working parts.

Welcome to vaping:)

It all looks good what you ordered! You got 60 ml of juice there and that can last you 20 days if you vape the normal amount.
If you want to try smaller juice sizes, I just found two vendors that sell small sample sizes for a friend of mine: MadVapes has $2 sizes and FreedomSmoke USA has $4 sizes to sample. FSUSA has customizable liquids too- just in case the blend you are getting doesn't agree with you and you wish to go to a higher VG blend.

Good luck and I hope you love your PV as much as I love mine:) It's working like a miracle and my latest favorite juice is Toasted Marshmallow. Please try to find a juice you LOVE! It makes it easy to never touch an analog if you are vaping something that tastes heavenly.

Sounds like a great deal to me! Perfect start!

You might want to buy an extra 900mAh Ego battery in the future.

You might consider using cartomizers in the future, if you find you don't like dripping or want an alternative at times.

You might want to buy a 2amp AC to USB wall adapter in the future, so you won't have to charge your batteries using your computer's USB port. Madvapes.com has them for just under $10. 2amps is better than using .5amps, but .5amps will work to charge eGo batteries.

Welcome to ECF and happy vaping!

You did great! Most people by an overpriced started kit of a mini e-cig from a mall vendor (I spent two hundred on my useless starter kit- which was 2 small dinky batteries and atomizer a charger and 5 small carts)- and find they need bigger batteries from the start.

You got quality.

The ego pass through is fantastic - I have two and I love them as you can still vape while it is charging - and then un-plog it and take it with you. You will soon want some more cartilages - unless you decide to go with cartomizers - and you will- as others have pointed out - want to try many different e-juices - but most every thing you got you got at a cheaper then average price which is remarkable for a beginner -

Wonderful order, you hit all the bases and I agree you should try different flavors.
Also try different strengths, you have all Extra High - 24MG, you may find you prefer
stronger or weaker juice. I personally like the 30mg from FSUSA, but that's just me.

Regarding flavors (and I didn't order all of them at once)
I've tried : Cuban Cigar, Slo Cure, Alabama Sweet, Marly, Kamel, Tennessee Cure, Menthol,
Rum, Root Beer, Coffee, Black Coffee, Anise, Licorice, Spearmint, Cinnamon, Cinnamon Buns,
Wyatt Earp, Cream Soda, Dubble-Mint, Pink Champange, Peanut Butter, Wintergreen
and my least favorite "pre-filled cart"

Well you picked a good Supplier and got a lot of loot for $108. Most of us spent that on crap our first go around so you are well ahead of the game. Also living in NY at $10.75/pack you would have ...... that cash away on smokes in less than 10 days. Welcome to ECF and your new hobby!!

Yup, I knew before you said it that was Liberty Flights! I have that PT and the 900mah also from there, hard to beat the prices on much of their stuff. I also got kits too - which come with one of the wall outlet plug ins everyone is talking about. Perhaps you might wanna grab an eGo kit on Black Friday for $40 from them, will totally have you set with extra batts and regular 510 attys/carts (at least to keep on hand as spares as I have been), and another usb charger.

Currently, I've got 6 eGo cigs floating around, which is really nice for she who can't make her mind up any given minute which flavor she wants passing her lips.

I'm with everyone else too, check out any/many of the suppliers on the forum (Forum Suppliers) - check their forums here too, especially for sales as we near Black Friday. Might be a great chance to try tons of flavors in 3-6ml sample sizes, and still have time to order a larger bottle of the ones you end up liking. Some of them I've been shopping are madvapes.com, freedomsmokeusa.com, gourmetvapor.com and even Liberty-Flights.com has 5ml bottles to try out.

Best of luck to you, and hope you enjoy those XL carts/attys as I have been! So far, all 6 attys I've gotten from L-F are still working well (albeit, it's only been what, almost 2 wks since the first 3 arrived? LoL
