Fairly new vaper looking for advice

[TheBergMan]

First off let me say hello. I have been browsing the forums all night and looking for informative ideas on where to start again... I have vaped before...about a year or
so ago I owned an EM Riva 1100Mah I believe and it worked fine for a while then just didn't do it for me anymore..Then it broke lol. But I am looking to get back into it and from what I have seen on the forums I have decided to go with this setup (I would really like your opinons on it as like I stated previously I know next to nothing.) The vamo with 2 efest 18350's and an efest 18650 , I plan to stack the 350's. A trustifre tp-001 charger and a AGA-T tank (Also have never done a build your own but it would save a lot of money and I figure since the VAMO can detect ohms I should be ok? Plus the protection built into it..)or should I go with a vivo? Any input would be much appreciated to this newbie, and I'm sure I will get plenty because this seems like a pretty close-knit community. Thanks for viewing and your time. Oh and mtbakervapor ejuice is what I'm leaning towards becuase I'm on a super tight budget.

Hey there Seth. First off welcome to ECF I just got the Vamo and I'm really digging it. I'd add on some more batteries for your order. Maybe 4 18350's and 2 18650's. Also, not sure about that charger. Someone will be along to give ya their two cents on it I'm sure. As far as the aga t tank...not sure I'd recommend that to someone just starting out. They can be a pain to get working right, from what I've read. I'd suggest you try out some cartomizers by themselves or with a tank, or some clearomizers. Work your way up to the AGA T Once you have 5 post I believe you can go to the rebuildable atomizer section, and read about the aga t.

Sink or swim… sounds like a plan.

I'd get an a vivi-nova, or something simple you can use out the box while bringing the AGA up to speed. Otherwise, a Vamo is becoming the new eGo for starting up - nice device.

Well as far as the Aga T goes I have a video step by step on how to make the wick etc. And have a spare 1.8 ohm Ikenvape atty laying around I can use until then so I can have time to play with the AGA. And yes I was thinking about the xtar wpII instead ..It's only 10 more bucks and safer as far as overcharging goes from what I have read.

Got a vamo and it does it all.....also have the same charger and it works great.

Also as far at mtbakervapor how is the TH? That was my problem before was finding a e-juice company that had a nice Th without getting 24-36 mg nic and even then it wasn't great..I'm used to a nice strong TH

Hi Seth and welcome to ECF. Three things that will affect TH:
voltage
ohms of the delivery device ( holds an vaporizes juice)- it's important to match ohms and voltage- lower ohms= warmer stronger hit.
Juice Composition

Juice Components
Flavoring usually about 15%- could be higher or lower depending on the flavor used.
PG enhances flavor, TH and lung hit- water like- many of us believe it too be a throat irritant.
VG= vapor and can mute flavor- thick
Nicotine- TH, lung hit and our need for nicotine. The MOST important ingredient in regards to TH and lung hit.
Standards in the industry are 80/ 20 or 70/ 30 PG/ VG.

In regards to juice I began at 36 mg. Now down to 2 mg and was not getting any TH. I upped my PG/ VG ratio to 85/ 15 and now have acceptable TH. Also using 1.8 ohms @ 4.0 volts and added some menthol drops to my juice.

I guess I had crappy juice.. I was getting 24mg 50/50 pg/vg 3.7v @1.8 ohms(*edit*guess that coulda been the ecig itself as well.)
