Hello everyone,
I'm actually surprised with all of your great responses and supporting a n00b like me get into my journey of vaping. Many of you made very valid points which made me rethink a lot about the device. I've read many people that get into vaping do end up spending tons of money going through devices and the whole process of it - which I mean it's not that big of a deal, but If I can avoid that it would be ideal which is why I started to research about the "best" (or apple brand) of vaping so I could get the most of my money and be able to grow into it. Dumb idea on my part because I already spend countless of money on buying ciggs (esp in Vancouver its about $13CDN/pack for the brand I smoke) and a lot of people would be like ... are you on... lol.
A little more about myself. Now.... like I said I'm more of a social smoker, have one w/ coffee in the morning.. and then maybe one after lunch and then perhaps a one during the drive home from work etc. Not heavy at all, and if I could avoid putting these 1000+ toxics in my body then vaping is the route to go. IDEALLY, the only purpose of smoking I have is the habit of just inhaling/exhaling smoke whether it be a social thing or just a little "personal habit/thing to do" to have a break or keep myself busy. I mean I'm killing myself just for a silly habit of mine compared to people who are actually addicted to cigarettes and who do pack a day and what not.
All in all.... after going to a couple of local vape stores - it is literally a mind f#!K considering all the brands and processes going on w/ watts, ohms, coils, atomizers. The safety of batteries, making sure to buy reputable LG/Samsung batteries. For a person like me to wanting to vape, there's a LONG ... process to learn. I just thought it would be easy as a plug-in-play device haha, which i mean that's how it used to be anyways. However, the more and more questions I asked and the different answers I kept getting from the local rep, just made me like not even excited to purchase it. The fact I would have to buy an external charger, make sure the batteries are being charged in sync (married), replacing the coil etc. I just want a simple process and by all means even if it has no nicotine - i don't even care. I just need the act of INHALING/EXHALING smoke hahaha. When I learnt about the coil being burnt and having to replace, I just thought of it being another headache compared to me going to the gas station and just buying a pack of ciggs. boom done.
In conclusion, I think as my first vape I would rather much do what one of the members said saying do a starter kit, single battery like the ELEAF iStick 75W Pico. I dont' wanna eff around w/ the batteries, I can just charge it while being in the mod and just continue to refill juices and what not. The inexpensiveness of this device is worth for a trail and error run to see if it meets my needs. It's not like I'm investing a lot of money just to get all the gear as if I would w/ the SMOK.
Would I be able to change the tank of this device? FYI - I'm not in this to chase/produce big clouds at all, ZERO interest. I remember taking a hit of the SMOK of some local vape shop guys. I exhaled and literally did it as if I was smoking a cig, and had to keep exhaling because of all the remainder smoke still in my lungs which ended up coming out of my nose (and heck even through my ears which it felt like rofl). I def don't want to experience that again, I just want the short airtime similiar to cigs. Is the tank what reflects MTL D2L? so if this Eleaf has the MELO w/e tank that's D2L? and If I wanted to try MTL, i would have to change the tank?
I just want a quick/simple set up process and be on my way.
Thanks for all the help guys - much appreciated.
