hello everyone! *waves*

[actiasluna]

i am very quickly finding that out. since the innokin itaste SVD doesn't seem too pricey and comes with tanks, coils, & atomizers, i think i am going to give it a shot. i found a pretty good deal on ebay - $65 for a new starter kit from a very high rated seller. i'm tempted to go all out and buy 2, but for now i am going to stick with one, i think, since i am new to this whole thing!

thanks everyone for the very helpful advice. i'm so glad i found this place!!

what do you mean by 'not a removable battery'? does that mean that you need to recharge it using one of those thingees you screw your battery into, like i have to do with my eGo batteries? sorry... i am COMPLETELY ignorant of e-cig-ese. i'm looking at a listing on ebay that apparently contains multiple 'battery tubes.' one of them is TELESCOPING which i am for some reason stupidly thrilled by. i would think that mean it takes an external battery, but again, i don't understand any of this stuff all that well. i think that's part of why i've stuck to my dummy-friendly eGo so far.

i guess i should just confess that although i think the square-shaped rigs look cool when OTHER people are carrying, the design wouldn't be the type i would prefer for myself. something i can throw against a wall would be a bonus, though. between the dog, my clumsiness & outdoorsiness, and my boyfriend and roomie's 18 year old constantly vying to 'borrow' (ie ABUSE) my e-cigs, durability is a good thing.

People have different tastes and needs. Just look at pic's here on ECF and watch vid's on you-tube and you can find something that suits you well. There are all kinds of vape equipment. The e-LVT is hard to beat. I think there is someone on ebay selling them for $59.95 or something like that. Go to you-tube and type in "e-LVT". Robert Ellis has a good vid - he even chunks it into the toilet!

well, i went ahead and placed an order. the company i purchased from was offering a free shipping deal on a purchase of 3 or more items, so i bought the SVD starter kit, a purple (my favorite color!) protank 2 w/replacement coil pack (from what i could tell, you fill the iclear tanks included with the SVD from the top, and i prefer bottom-filling tanks since they're all i really know), and a pair of 18650 batteries with a charger. i'm on vacation in NH right now, so the stuff should arrive just in time for me to enjoy it when i get home.

this will be my first time ever using a mod, so wish me luck, guys. i'm excited to be able to buy some of those fancy hand-blown artisanal drip tips they sell at my local vape shop (vapor cafe in ephrata, really cool place). i've been ogling those tips since i first visited the store about 2 years ago, but never had a rig that would justify purchasing any of them.

thanks so much for all of your advice and for sharing your knowledge with me. i really appreciate it. i'm probably going to need more advice soon when i inevitably mess up with the SVD, haha!

rc3po, i might have to look into one of those e-LVTs, if only to carry around on hiking / creek-stomping trips and whatnot. durability is a huge selling point for me since i am such a klutz. and i spend a lot of time outdoors! i accidentally dunked all the way into a swimming hole with my eGo on my neck once... thank goodness after laying it out to dry for over 24 hours, it worked just fine, like nothing had ever happened - but it was a nerve-wracking 24 hours!

good, now when the boyfriend or the 18 year old want to use my rig i will just direct them to one of my eGo batteries. i intend to keep them as a backup, or just to use whenever i'm in the mood or the scenario seems appropriate, but i'm really excited to be upgrading.

Good luck & have fun.

If durability in a tube is important, you may want to look at the Provari. It's pricey, but they can almost survive anything, and if they don't, you can send it into Provape for repairs. They are almost completely made in the USA, save for some electrical thing that simply isn't available here.
