Greetings and some questions

[TroyHoot]

Hiya, I'm looking to start vaping very soon. Want to quit analogs. But I enjoy smoking sooo I figure vaping is my option. I have quite twice for a year each time. But I always come back. Smoke around 1/2 pack a day of lights now.

Been reading and watching videos all this week. Think I figured out my starter kit and juice order. Just want to make sure im not overlooking anything.

I'm a research farmer. So I work in the field, greenhouse, lad, mechanics shop alot. Also sit at my desk in front of the computer quite abit. Need something durable and just easy to use all day. I like the EMDCC idea for work. Later ill probably look into an 18650 mob and carto tank for the house. But for now I want simple and durable.

This is what I am planning on getting. http://www.sweet-vapes.com/shop?pag...color_plus.tpl&product_id=1095&category_id=31

For juice I'm going to get 5x10ml sample from Bluemist vaping. Buttery nipple, Belgium waffle, Cafe caramel, Pina colada, Strawberry shortcake. Figured this would be a start.

This look ok ? Anything im overlooking? I know there are some cheaper kits but this one has the 5 EMDCC's and the KGO's are not regulated like the other egos. Anyone know of any better deals ?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: forgot something. Juice was going to be 80/20 pg/vg and 16mg strength. This sound about right for starting ?

I'll let others answer your hardware questions, but lots of people like the kgo. if possible I think I would get an atty and a drip tip, great for testing liquids without filling a carto only to find out you don't like it!

I would suggest getting a little bottle of unflavored liquid if you can. it's bland and is nice to have while you search for your favorite liquids. good luck

I'll have to respond the same as cags. Haven't been vaping long enough to give advice on hardware, however, I definitely agree with cags on the small bottles of ejuice. ECBlends is a great place for that. Their bottles start at 5ml and vary in price starting from $2.50 to around $3 depending on options you choose such as extra flavor, sweetener, etc... I have 14 5ml bottles in my collection right now and a few more on the way, plus a 20 ml bottle of one of my faves that is pretty much my all day vape even though I switch out quite a few times a day.

My advice would be to keep it simple at first before advancing into other vaping devices. Learn the ropes first and then experiment as you see fit. Also, read..read..read..and read so more on these forums. I have found this the best place to learn about vaping and the community is wonderful and oh so helpful!!

Oh yeah, HI and welcome to ECF!!! Got so hung up on answering the question I almost forgot to greet you properly

Hi, and welcome to ECF! Sweetvapes also sells a KGO variable voltage passthrough. It's a great battery as you can change the voltage until you find just the right setting for your own personal taste. It's also a passthrough which means that you can use it while it's charging so you are never left with a dead battery and nothing to vape on. Just an option to think about...the kit you are looking at getting looks pretty good too. Whatever you end up buying will definitely be better than smoking...and you'll find lots of great support here. I wish you all the best on your vaping journey!

I might get the 3mil samples from Bluemist. Its $10 for 5x3ml or $20 for 5x10ml. Just figured 50mil for 20 was a good deal. and im sure my taste buds wont be worth a poo for awhile anyway.

Ill look at ECblends also. I may get a sample pack from each. Just dont want to run out over xmas when Im sure ill want to smoke something

Welcome, I agreee you should have different favors in small quantities as you quit smoking. One thing I noticed when I was starting is that as I broke away from analogs my taste changed in everything. That being said when you buy fluid you may like t at first then hate it in a week or two. Cags is right about a unflavored it would be a good idea. I wish someone had given me this advice when I started I still have a 30ml bottle of fluid I cant even stand to smell.

 

[TroyHoot]

So far im looking to get 4 samples from ECBlends and a 5 small sample pack from Bluemist. The dragon flavors looked good from ECB and seem to have good reviews.

Still debating on the kit. Gonna watch for some holiday specials over the weekend before I order. I dont really smoke much analog on the weekend anyway LOL

 

[lexr]

Check to see if you have any stores local to you as well. I ordered online without checking and then found local stores that have free samples I wish I knew about.

 

[TroyHoot]

Not seeing anything close. Im sure there is something about 2 hours away in either Monroe LA, Memphis Tn, or Jackson MS. Im about = distance from all out in the middle of BFE.. I have to buy most things online around here LOL

Ill do some more searching though.

The ego-t mod with the 18650 battery is pretty nice and cheap. It has a newer version out that has a regulated mode so the voltage stays the same throughout its use. With the 510 threading it gives you a LOT of options in cartomizers, tanks, rebuildables and so forth. Is it the best, probably not, but a good place to start out and fairly cheap at $20+ over other mods that you are buying only the body.

I would also suggest some 12 mg nic juice too in case the 16 is a little too high , i know it was for me and i was a 1/2 PADer to .
You will need it eventually anyway . Personally i like the 50/50 pg vg blends , more vapor and a little smoother IMO .

15 mls won't last long. You will get about 2 fills from each 3ml bottle, you will need more to last through Christmas.

Probably going to order between 50-75mils total along with a kit this week. Hopefully that will get me though for a little while. Once i find a flavor I like ill get larger bottles.

Im still looking at kits and watching for deals. Pretty much made up my mind on the Sweet-vapes kit i posted earlier.
