Welcome to the forum! Pretty much everything in the kit is going to be replaceable.

Make sure you carefully read through the warranty information before you make a purchase. I personally never purchase from a supplier that doesn't offer some sort of warranty.

A battery should be good for approx 200-250 charges. You prolong the life of the battery if you charge the battery before it's dead. Things like an atomizer can last anywhere from a day to months. People get anywhere from a week to a few weeks with a cartomizer.

It really depends on the kit on whether it's better to purchase individual parts or the whole kit. It's never a bad idea to have backups, even additional chargers that come with the kit.

I'd check out the UK forum for suggestions on where to purchase. Look for price as well as who is easiest to deal with as far as customer service and returns.

From what I have read at batteryuniversity.com batteries last for about 300 full charges when charging with the correct charger and not letting them go completely dead. Nothing wrong with getting a starter kit but watch out some charge more than it would be separately. That being said, some also charge less, and you should get one that basicly makes the charger and maybe a case free. I suggest starting with an Ego kit first, as I wasted a lot of money buying a njoy, then Blu, then mega 510 penstyle and finally got the egos. At least get something like a joytech 510 starter if you want something cigarette sized. I am already wanting a VV/VW like a vamo! Pretty new vapor here, and definitely still a noob! ;)

Good advice!
 
Hi everybody, new to the world of vaping! so much to learn!

With so many options available, I was wondering how reliable E-cigs are, what is their life-span?

I know you can replace batteries atomizers etc, but do you have to buy a complete new kit after a while?

Thanks, Pete.

I do not think there is an answer to your question. Each person has their own way of using their PV. The same could be said of the heating unit. When getting into vapeing. You soon learn there is ongoing overhead. After all, when you were on analogs you had to buy a new carton of fags each week. That's not to say you are going to spend that kind of money each week on vapeing. I have been on the vape train for 75 days. I have spent 5-8 hours a day ( I am retired) for the last 3 months learning about ecig's. That research was done on 12 different ecig forum world wide. I started my journey like 99.9% of newbies do. I started with the ego-c. Moved to the ego twist VV. Then to the eVic and onto the Vamo. If I could start over. I would have started with the eVic, because it has VV an VW. The eVic also has what I call, auto pilet. Which means you can have the eVic sofeware ajust the VV/VW automaticly no mater what heater you use. Which gives you consitent vape with each puff. Just remember alway buy more then you need. The golden rule of vapeing:
Always have back up for your back up. (plus a little more) :vapor:

Started with very unreliable 808, 901 "cigarette style" batteries four years ago and the cost of replacing DOA and weak batteries and atomizers was "nickel and diming" me to death... went back to "analogs" (real cigarettes). When a local shop opened it's doors I finally decided to give it another go and ended up with an eGo style (actually a Vision 1300 mah "Spinner") which I love. So superior to the junk we had four years ago it's like comparing apples and oranges. Haven't had a real cigarette since and my wife, a smoker of 20+ years, is ready to switch as soon as her Spinner... and my new VAMO... gets to us hopefully in the next few days ;)

I've only been at this 5 weeks total today. I worried over this before i started but realized that I was spending $45.00+ weekly on cigarettes and I'm pretty sure I can vape like a steam whistle for a heck of a lot less than that even if I throw most things away every week.

All i have to do is just stop trying all the new gadgets and I'll be making money hand over fist.
