hello everyone. new(ish) to vaping, thoughts and opinions wanted.

[baron von bubba]

hi all.
im relatively new to vaping, well, nearly 6 weeks since i got my kit and all that time with out even a puff on a ciggy.
currently im using an ego twist and an ego V6 with boge cartos/DCT, sometimes a vivi nova.
i like mainly the sweeter flavours (tobaccos and fruity)...

im obviously really enjoying not having cigs, but also found that im enjoying having new toys and finding out new things.

which brings me to the thoughts and opinions i would like please.
where next, what future purchases/upgrades would make my vaping experience more enjoyable?
and anything i need to be aware of or tips about the kit i possess

thanks

If you enjoy dripping, I would suggest looking into the hh357 or the AVA atomizers. The flavor is amazing and second to none (in my opinion).

Ultimately though, find what you like best. I started out with an ego and now have 23 mods tons of other goodies (tanks,atomizers, etc.). I try different juices from different vendors every 2 weeks and have a list of some of my favorites that I order my monthly supply from. Staying off of the ciggy (or analog) is the goal, explore your options on these forums and ask lots of questions.

I'm only about 4 weeks in and like you enjoying it immensely, I think your upgrade route is more a case of what shiney bits you would like to collect. You already have a pretty good setup with variable voltage so it's just what you want to try, maybe a big battery mod so you get a good duration out of the battery and trying different juices and atomisers/cartomisers.

dripping is not something i have partaken in as yet.
not sure of the kit that would be needed, i understand that this is the best way to get the true flavour from the juices?
i guess its a good way of trying new flavours, but it seems like hassle, is this so?
also i worried that once i have tried the juices "at their best" i wont enjoy as much when using the other methods?

 

[baron von bubba]

there are so many shiney bits and therefore so many ways to waste money...
what would be a reason to go for the high end kit, other than bragging rights, if you get what i mean??

Sounds like you are looking for a bigger/better VV mod. The top two contenders IMHO are:

Apollo VTube Kit

or:

ProVari Variable Voltage Ecig: Best Variable Voltage E Cig Available!

I currently have a Provari, and having been scouring looking for another 5V as a backup. I've been tempted to try the VTube myself, but it dosen't have all the features that the Provari does, so I'm going to be ordering another one. There are others out there...but these are the top two in my opinion. Whatever you get, be sure to get one that uses either ONE battery, or something like a mod box where the batteries are side by side, instead of stacked.

 

[Theken]

The ProVari is the best of the VV mods out there (from all I have tried).

If you decide to try the dripping route, don't drip and drive!

A high end kit will last you longer and it's cheaper to buy plain batteries, as opposed to buying another ego twist. Some, like the Provari, have additional features. With either one, you can adjust in .1 increments. I also personally feel that it's safer to charge the individual battery as opposed to charging an eGo battery. I've read of too many eGo's exploding while charging. Which is way I went from my eGo to the Provari in the first place. I love all the safety features it has on it. Also, you don't have to carry around a voltmeter to see what ohms your carto is working at.

I will check those links, thanks.
Stacked batteries, why is this not good then?
The V6 has stacked Batts

 

[Kay1959]

Some people stack batteries, I'm not one of them. If you happen to have a good battery and a bad battery, and use them together, the mod could explode! Since I'm not that battery sauve, I just stay away from it!

Thanks.
Recommendations for a decent "entry level" DD atomiser would be?

 

[b-effe]

for atoms go with cisco or ikenvape

Interesting read, I've not seen much about batteries while trawling the forums, at least I have AW batts....

Are they disposable or rebuildable?

 

[Theken]

Are they disposable or rebuildable?

Best "disposables" (IMO and in order of preference):
HH 357 (Avid Vapor): These are the best, despite being disposable I am still using one well over 6 months that fires as great as my brand new one. I own 5 of these now and they are (in my opinion) the absolute best atomizer in the business.
AVA (Innovapor): Some people swear by them, I own one of them and the flavor is fantastic but is the most expensive ($45)
Ikenvape (great atomizers and the least expensive out of the 3 ($10), they are available at several sites despite the main site being down at the moment). The io6 and the 510 cannons are great!

For rebuildables I would recommend one of the following (these are the ones I have experience with)
Ato-Miser (from nHaler): This is an inexpensive intro into the rebuildable world, very easy to set up and use and very inexpensive to rebuild.
Penelope (from Clouds of Vapor): Fantastic, worth every penny but they cost a bit more than the ato-miser.
