Hello Everyone from OHIO!! Newbie Equipment Question

[nansc]

Hi and welcome to the forum.

 

[cskent]

Barberton is on the south side of Akron. Vapor Bomb doesn't have a B&M, but you can place your order online or phone it in, pick it up at their location, and pay for it at that time. They're a juice manufacturer and don't carry any hardware. They do make some excellent juices and always give you a free sample with every order.

Looks like they're sprouting all around, a new b&m just popped up in the forum in Columbus, no link to their site, but I did ask

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-buckeye-vapors-brick-mortar-information.html

Found the site http://www.buckeyevapors.com/510-Blister-Pack-42110.htm

UBER cheap 510 kit $5.99 looks like 1 batt, 1 usb charger and 2 cartos - choice of tobacco and menthol, doesn't give mg options but a great price!

THANKS AGAIN VchicK! I am going right by there tomorrow to pick up my son in Columbus and am by there ALL THE TIME!! I really like the way the K-Go is sounding but I can't seem to find it many places (only looked at about 5). Is Sweet Vapes a good/reliable shop?

Its going to be difficult to not just grab something tomorrow but I want to make sure I don't waste (any more) money on something I am not going to be pleased with.

Thanks again EVERYONE!!

I've never purchased from sweet vapes, but I've seen people recommend them. If you go with the KGO, you should probably get the 1100mah batteries. I ordered mine from Dark City Vapors and was pretty happy with it and the vendor.

Hey, let us know what you think of it! I am almost two hours away, so I don't want to drive down there if they don't have a decent selection of cartos, clearos, etc. I only get to go to Columbus for conferences and such.

A lot of B&M's carry the eGo, but the kGo really is a better device.
Sweet-Vapes is a good vendor.
Hoosierecigsupply is another one.
DarkCityVaper is good as well

Of the three, it seems that Hoosier has the best unit at the best price.
It comes with atomizers, which you will want to to use to test juice, and they are more expensive if bought separately.
I normally recommend Sweet-Vapes, but I recently converted to Hoosier.
They do put their logo on their kGos, but it's not very obtrusive.

Altsmoke would be good to stop by just to take a look at their Silver Bullet or BB.
It'll give you something to save up for.

Im going to go with the K-Go (vendor to be determined). I am guessing from peoples advice (THANKS A MILLION TIMES OVER!) that there are different "K-Go" makers and manufacturers?

Im feeling a little better about my purchase of the K-Go now (and not bragging) but Ohio has a pick 3 lotto and I (doesnt everyone) wrote a piece of code for the PC that tells me which #'s havent won in the longest times and tonight 823 came in and I have 5 times!! What a day!! Found this great place, am quitting nasty analogs, and won on the lotto!!

I will post to let everyone know about the Columbus store as soon as I get there (shooting for tomorrow). Can't promise some expert review as it will be my 1st B&M vaping store (any Vaping store for that matter) but will share how it is.

Thanks again, I cant say that enough.

With Chinese stuff, there are clones of knockoffs and knockoffs of clones. Everyone clones and knocks off everyone else. There could be 5 different products made by 5 different manufacturers, all made in the same factory on the same production line. The rules are different there and the rules about knockoffs and clones don't necessarily apply in China the way we apply them in the U.S. or Europe. One company might have a good reputation, and another company you never heard of will come along and make an improved version of it. So the knockoff is actually better. That's the way it went with the eGo and the kGo.

The kGo is a clone of the eGo, except it has more power. I don't know exactly what company was the first one, or if there is any significant difference between them. It really boils down to where the vendors get theirs, their judgement and how/if they've tested them. SLB is a well known manufacturer and if any of them are less than good quality, SLB wouldn't be one of them.

Brent at Hoosier has tested his pretty well, has most color options and there's a video on his kGo page that might be of interest. That's not to say any of the other ones are substandard. They could very well all be SLB models too. I think the one at Dark City is for sure. It's just that, IMO, Hoosier has the best deal on them right now.

As Sailorman has mentioned Sweet-vapes, Hoosier and Dark City Vapor are all reutable vendors. The reason I suggested Sweet-Vapes is because they're the only vendor that includes the new V2 Clearomizer rather than cartrif=dges or cartomizers. A great deal IMO.

Thanks Vapoor eyes er & Sailorman.

I have my K-Go kit in the shopping cart and realized I have one more questions (bet I say that a million more times

Is there any certain type of e-liquid I need to get to work with this K-Go kit or will they all work? One other thing is there any little items I may want to add on? I am sure there are LOTS of different e-liquid suppliers but I would prefer to get something in the same box as my starter kit as when it arrives,,, well you know,,, I will want to try it ASAP!

Thanks again.

LOLLL we all want it to be the best experience possible so questions are welcomed.
Now you'll have to decide on the mg of your juice. What brand did you smoke and how many per day? Did you drag really hard on your analogs?
Components of juice
Flavor- usually about 10% of juice
PG- enhances TH, lung hit and flavor- water like
VG- vapor- very thick
Nicotine- TH, lung hit and our need for nicotine- prolly the most important component for TH and lung hit.
The industry standards are 80/ 20 or 70/ 30 PG/ VG. I vape 60/ 40 PG/ VG.
Generally you will vapes lots during the first 2 weeks as withdrawal occurs from the alkoids- wasn't really too bad and my wife and was amazed that it went so well. Usually about 30 ml per week.

 

[FiLiNuX]

I smoke(d) about 1 to 1.5 packs of Pall Mall Reds (filtered though) daily so I think I will need a good amount of nicotine.

Sweet Vapes has a LOT of different types of liquid and they seem cheap (I paid 10.00 for 5ml to "refill" these Njoy cartridges at a local shop which is WAY better then the Njoy cost. Its called "turkish 18mg") I am interested in trying something that tastes better then the analog "burning plant" taste I am a HUGE PC NERD so I love the whole "Analog" thing. Bout time I went digital!! Have you ever tried any of the liquids from Sweet Vapes and if so can you recommend something I may like (or a couple) to start out on? For just under 4.00 I can't imagine they will be too big of a bottle.

Im going to wait to hear back before hitting submit order until I hear back and can add some liquids. Ill keep a eye on it from my smart phone as I have to run into town to cash in my tix from last night! As I said yesterday was a GREAT day independence from nastyrettes and the lotto!!

Thanks again!!! Is there a way to "rep" or thank people on here? Like I said 30+ years on PC"s but never been a forum/chatting type user.

I would think 24 mg would be good.

Yes much cheaper to fill your own. I DIY and my carto cost + juice is $2.00 per week.

I'm in Canada and haven't tried any U.S. juices and I DIY. My faves are tobacco with menthol and I DIY but finding a juice is really tough. Much better to order sample packs and go from there. Here's a bunch of forums with juice reviews. If you like desserts or fruits than prolly that would be the way to go IMO. Picking a juice without the input of ECF members would prolly be next to impossible.
