Good Starter Kit?

[breezyncj]

Hi, I'm new to vaping and am picking out my starter kit. This is the one I'm looking at that's in my price range at the moment:

$21.26 Evod Twist / DCT 650mAh Rechargeable E-Cigarette Starter Kit - purple / variable voltage / 2.5ohm / US plug adapter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Was just wondering if I could get some feedback on whether or not this is a fine choice. TIA!

Hello and welcome to ecf.

I think the twist is ok, but unless you are willing to wait for shipment from China vs the US, I would look elsewhere. You could look at vaping dojo, discountvapers, or even ebay for that matter. Just make sure they are shipping from US and have excellent feedback.

What are you using now?

Welcome to the forum.

I'd agree that it is a good first choice. But... you need more than one battery to start with because
if you have just one and it is on the charger you may revert to analogues. Always have a backup battery(s)
atomizers and plenty of juice.

Kanger eVod Kit - Purple

This Kit Contains:

2 x EVOD Manual battery (Constant output voltage:3.7v; Capacity:650mAh)
2 x EVOD BBC (Bottom Coil Changeable) 1.6ml Clearomizer (Resistance:2.5ohm)
Note: The color of the evod clearomizer will match the batteries.
5 x Bottom Coil Heads (Resistance:2.5ohm)
1 x eGo USB charger (Input Voltage:5v; Output Voltage:4.2v 500mA)
1 x AC-USB with USA plug (Output Voltage:5v 300mA; Euro-US adapter)
1 x User Manual (English)

This one cost more but you would have it in 3 days, plus a different kind on clearomizer with 5 replacement heads.

Innokin iTaste VV (V3) Express kit - 101 Vape

You can look at 101 vape and see if that will be what you are looking for, just go to their clearo section and pick up a clearo/tank and that's abotu the cheapest I have found that isn't china 1 months shipping. I personally hate waiting for shipping so i stopped ordering from fasttech unless its like 90% off.

Innokin iTaste VV (V3) Express kit - 101 Vape
same one + clearo's for a decent price considering what you get.

No matter what you get, you will want 2 batteries, especially if they're the small 650 batteries. Always have a backup charged and ready. I started with a pair of 900 mAh batteries, which are about as small as I would want to use, good for most of a day. When they die and there's no backup...well...you're screwed for hours while waiting on a charge. Passthrough batteries at least let you use them while they charge, so that's another option, but a weak one.

Edited to say: While I was typing you got some good advice!

I would think a minimum of at least 10 days and maybe longer than a month.

They were having loads of problems shipping out from Hong Kong due to their country's laws.

here is another link for a just the twist. You can add your own clearomizer and juice.

Cool, thanks again! I'm still looking around and doing all my research before I get started.

Thanks! Will definitely be sure to get two batteries.

I just got an order from Fastech. It took 10 days to ship and then another 7 to reach me.

I also bought an Ego Twist kit on Ebay. It's an 1100MAh battery, charger and Ego clearomizer. It was $18. For somethig like that, I'd rather order from a domestic supplier. For $5 it's not worth the worry. Now, if you are buying a more expensive device, it may be worth it.

What do they say? A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.

I didn't even consider buying from eBay..I don't think I've ever bought anything from eBay haha.

Welcome to ECF you will find everyone here so knowledgeable and helpful. I also think 2 batteries are a must. I started with one and a couple days I knew I needed a second. With Fast Tech I have heard horror stories and then others swear by them so it depends on when you actually want to start vaping. Another option is find a local brick and mortar and pick up something there. Usually you can try out the juice flavors and get a quick blister pack while you wait.

Here is an example of ebay

New Purple Electronic Ego CE4 Vaporizer 1100mAh 2 Starter Kits Free SHIP | eBay

Picked randomly, just to give you an idea of what is out there and notice where it will be shipped from and the sellers ratings.

I would highly recommend the EVOD kit. That was my first and I still love it. I just got an ITaste VV 3.0 but the EVOD carts are probably the easiest (and best for the money) so no matter what battery I get, I always use the EVOD carts.

Vape dojo, 101vape, AKA vapers.. I have bought from them and they are all excellent.
