I like using e-cigs to really get the effect of the nicotine. I want something that can go all day long for a heavy vaper like myself, billowing enormous clouds. 'Best' is an opinion, but I pretty much want the best e-cig out there. I'm located in the US lower 48 and I have no budget restriction. If I see something recommended that's too expensive for me, I'll set a budget. Wouldn't mind spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars on a very high quality kit. Thanks ahead of time!

I do not recommend a Provari for newbs but if you have the money, it's the main mod that will make you not look again for another mod. Well, you might if you get into mechanicals and rebuildable atomizers but just saying. The Provari has a little learning curve as far as ohms and volts but its a solid titanium mod with a one year warranty. It is solid in your hand big time! And I also love Vivi Novas at 2.8 ohms on them! Just saying.... Others might like different. Well, everyone likes different! That's the glory in vaping! Oh, and mine has the extended end cap and uses 18650 batts.

Welcome to the forums.If money is no issue then just start buying stuff that you want to try. I have spent way over my budget every month since i started, but i have no complaints. Buying and trying many different things is one of the best parts of this hobby/life style. I think i have seen that there are a couple of different vape meets in California in the next few months, go to one of them and meet interesting people and try plenty of cool things. Have fun experimenting and vape-on.

I would. You will become fluent in the menuing system quickly and as long as you understand the basic vaping concepts will have no problem getting it to work for you.

I mainly do not recommend a variable voltage device for newbs because most get too confused with ohms and wattage at first. You have to tell them get this mod and order this ohm clearo/cart. Lol. But some are better at learning than others. My son would use his ego twist and crank it up on a 1.8 ohm cart and burn them out. Same with my ex hubby. Lol. I tried to explain but they just didn't understand.

Hi

ProVaris are super simple to use. I'm a feline with no thumbs and haven't had a problem.

When looking at battery devices you're looking for quality, meaning that they are well made and perform consistently. You'll also likely take appearance and size into consideration, and possibly amp limit and other fiddly bits, but outside of that, whether you choose a tube mod, a box mod, a mechanical or a whatever will be released tomorrow, it's just a power source.

Being able to vary the temperature of your vape, whether by adjusting voltage or wattage, doesn't have as much of an impact on billowing clouds as the juice and the delivery system. With yucky juice and a delivery system that isn't working, a ProVari/Vamo/Zmax/(insert favorite mod here) will suk as bad as one from a gas station.

Ummm...it's stainless steel. It comes in Titanium White, but that's a color.

I'm a gay guy so I LOVE the fact that the provaris come in pink. Didn't wanna request pink in case of limiting which product is recommended :)

LOL! Tube mods are phallic to begin with, and though I am a card carrying gay guy, I just would not get a pink mod. My Tesla looks enough like Bender's penis:

Right now using mainly a v2 notebook w/ the blanks and beta ex's, and when I'm not near an outlet or a car battery (I'm an electrical taxi equipment installer) I use some kind of ego that my friend gave me for $20. The ego is old and I think the mod is a little tired even after a battery charge, the v2 gives me much bigger hits.



For the liquid I was using 18mg menthol from v2, but my 36mg polar menthol from nicotinenirvana came in the mail today so I'm using that now.
