To the OP,
As snarky as some of these people who replied are/tried to be there was some good info given as to your question. I am pretty new to the vaping world myself so cannot give you a direct answer. I can say this however, your going to want to go with a mechanical mod and a good battery like a Sony svt4. The atty will end up being something of personal choice, which is something you will have to learn about before you can make an educated decision.
You will be told here, repeatedly, that you need to understand things like ohms law, battery safety, and such. The people who tell you this are quite correct, you don't want to blow a hand or your face off chasing clouds.
Before I would step up to trying to "fog the neighborhood" I would certainly begin by trying to learn to do your own builds. Your going to need, beyond pure saftey info, some tools and a decent ohm meter or multimeter. I found a good deck to build on in the Plume Vail atty. No weird angles and easy to work on. Start slow, with simple micro coils and higher ohm builds and check them on your ohm meter. Then throw them away and build another. Don't fire them.
Its going to take you awhile of perfecting your skill at builds and understanding all the rules and saftey stuff before you are blowing huge clouds. If you have somebody else build it for you without knowing what he/she is doing, your just the lungs powering his/her clouds.
Keep asking questions, nobody on these forums started out knowing a darn thing about vaping when they were new to the scene either.

As to some of the responders here, geez. Give us new guys a break. Simply responding "you are not ready" or being snarky in your responses is probably doing more harm than good. Nobody is ever going to learn anything if they don't get decent answers to thier questions. And if they can't get good answers that's when somebody goes and does something really stupid and blows thier flipping face off. Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves, and you kniw which ones you are.

As to these boards having a different look lately....
I am sure they do. Vaping is moving from mostly people trying to quit smoking such as myself, to more of a mainstream thing that many people who have never touched a tobacco product in thier life are beginning to have an interest in. Vaping is much more than a smoking cessation thing anymore its a viable and enjoyable hobby. So I would say get used to the new look, its not gonna go back to the way it used to be for sure.

I just wish this hobby had become popular after there was some security that I will have access to the products that got me off of tobacco after 40 years of smoking. It's the nicotine that will be regulated, something I need, but most cloud chasers don't.

All well and good for the folks whom this is a "hobby" for. Unfortunately, ALL of this is under threat from the FDA , and it is a real concern that it can all be taken away from us "former tobacco users" myself included, who have vaping to thank for saving our lives. Y'all hobbyist new fad chasers can then move on to the latest thing that catches your interest without a care, while us ex smokers will be left wondering what to do next. This mindset just blows my F'ing mind!!!

While I do agree with you that's vaping is now what all the "cool kids " are doing. They still need to learn how to safely use the device.
There is more to it than just wrapping coils. It only takes 10 milliamps to stop the heart. And while a defribrilator only puts out 1500 v and 0.1 amp. A Sony vtc4 puts out 30amps. So, when some of we experienced vapors chime in, it's not being snarky or whatever fancy word you feel the need to use. It's because we care about the end user. The last thing any of us want to see or hear about is someone who has zero experience, or limited experience, with these devices; yet, got advice on how to look "cool," blowing their face off. Not only does it result in a large amount of pain for them: but it also invites the feds to get involved and make this a lot more difficult on all of us.
Sometimes in life it's Ok to go through the learning curve before you worry about being the cool kid on the block.

Hey, I agree with you completely. Vaping is the way I finally quit smoking after 30 years and many failed attempts. Was just pointingout that there are many people coming into the vaping world that are doing so for different reasons than us.
Maybe it was the OV's (original vapers) fault for making it so darn appealing. I mean seriously, look at all the absolutely beautiful mods and of course the cloud chasers with thier huge plumes.

I used to smoke black n milds multiple times daily, I'm over that though. Now I just like large amounts of vapor for tricking purposes.

You came to the right place. One of the most important pieces of gear is a dirty baby diaper or a dish rag to wrap around the mod to prevent your hand from being burned...

I remember when I quit smoking on regular ego batteries and cartos and I was happy. I guess now it takes creating your own weather system to make somebody happy to quit smoking.(I'm wondering if quitting smoking is even a primary concern anymore with all these new vapers) Yeah getting somebody else to build your setup might be easy, but I guess it's not about improving the quality of your and your loved ones life anymore, it's all about the clouds.:unsure:

This is my fave combo right now,


j7iLkWh.jpg


That's the Torched El Sigilo Zodiac Dragon by Wutang house of mods, with the Big Dripper mounted on top. 0.26 ohms, juice injected dripping system:D


but any these combo's will do quite well also.

These vape well too:D

But the hardest hitting must say would be one of these;

get hit by any one of these 26650 mechs, your likely not getting up soon, and the center one, Copper Mutant Clone, has the most heft, and would definitely hit hard and create some serious Damage:lol:

People who start vaping to play games with something that is literally saving my life and untold thousands of others is the ultimate facepalm. I have a better word than facepalm, but it would just get deleted.

Just show respect in Both directions.
Show a little concern for the safety on oneself and others.
Take an interest in Teaching and learning.

We can all get along.

If you enjoy Vaping, for health OR Clouds - Take an ACTIVE interest in what is happening on the government level and Support the community as a whole.:)

AMEN!

The best thing you can do, is get a vv mod and maybe a kayfun clone, start there and learn to build.
While learning to build, read up on battery safety, amps, voltage drops, sub ohming. Battery accidents etc.
Also stalk you tube. Watch Pbuseurdo, grimm green, rip trippers to get started.

If you dont know how to build, and dont know about battery safety....
If you dont care about yourself, you should atleast care about the people around you.
