Hello everyone!

[PerpetualStealth]

I am new to ECF and wanted to say hello!
A little background on myself I've been smoking since I was around 16 so about 16 years now and I've quit 2 or 3 significant times cold turkey and my longest smoke free was around 3/4months.

I'm hoping that this Friday when I purchase my 1st vaping device I am finally successful of getting rid of the incredibly nasty and harmful habit. I have a little girl and I'd like to set a good example plus live a long and healthier life.

I have had my uncle suggest some things but I was wondering what kind of setup is good for a novice beginner that's relatively inexpensive?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Hello and welcome! How much do you currently smoke? What do you smoke, lights or full flavor? Menthol? How do you smoke, lung hit/throat hit? This will help us determine what will work best for you. Also, what are you looking to spend?

 

[PerpetualStealth]

I smoke a pack every 2 days and I smoke Marlboro Lights Special Blend. Lung and throat I guess and I was looking to spend whatever minimum amount I could to start to get the job done or at least started

Hey there, I am new here too. I'm glad you are making the switch...it's really great to be smoke free.
If you want to stay as cheap as possible I would say start with an Evod kit or the equivalent. If you're willing to spen a little more I would go with the iTaste MVP v2 and a protank 2. In any case, welcome to the vaping community!

Welcome You have very good reason to quit those analogs. As Detramental said knowing what kind of smoker you are can help out a lot. There are quite a few nice starter systems, IMO if your sure its something you will stick with and are determined to quit no matter what, then I wouldn't skimp on a battery mod. I personally would buy something I could grow into, but was great for just getting started. That means spend a few dollars more for a regulated VV/VW mod. The MVP would be cheapest IMO due to it having an internal battery so no batteries or charger are needed. and there is lots of leg room in the unit in settings.

Thanks guys! So the MVP has an internal battery and no charger? How does it recharge then? Sorry if I sound dumb I'm just curious

That's right. He just means you dont need to buy a different charger to charge the batteries. MVP 2 is like a cell phone, just plug a cord into it and you're charging as compared to mech's when you have to take the battery out of the tube and use a charging bay.

 

[PerpetualStealth]

Would this be a good starter?

It looks like it would be a good start, but like epicdoom said, it is helpful to buy something you can grow into - I got a kit just like that when i started and then i quickly realized I just wanted more. I stepped up the mvp2 and its my go to now when I'm going out or at work. I have a bunch of ego's that just collect dust now. Just curious, how much is that kit going for?

 

[PerpetualStealth]

40$

I'm in the process of ordering a MVP 2.0 myself it looks really good, I think after this post i can put a link to a video...

Canvape seems to be a good place to get many assortments of pieces. They sell the MVP 2.0 at $50.00.

Edit - can't post links yet either

Welcome! I've only been vaping a few weeks. Using ego's. Just ordered a MVP2 yesterday! Very excited.

You really can't beat that for the price and the stuff that comes in it. It would be a good starter kit and will get you a feel for vaping. The only thing I would recommend on top of that is at least one evod clearo. bottom coils are waaaay better than those wicks in those clearo's

 

[PerpetualStealth]

Ok thanks for all the replys but what should I choose as far as blend and nicotine strength goes?

That's the fun part. I prefer higher vg blends, like 70/30 vg to pg. I started on 24 but now down to 12 on my adv and 6 on my mech because it hits like a bus. It's all personal preference. I am still trying to find out what I like best and I've been at it for a while.

Hits like a bus lol.. I'm going to go with the 40$ starter kit and go with three different 15ml juices and get a feel for it and all then go from there.. I think lol

Dude you have no idea. The mechs are really in a whole different level. Learn as much as you can. Vape your ego. Let us know how it goes. You'll be on to the big hitters before you know it.

Fwiw, not an attempt to get op to get a mech.
