hello, nearly new to ecigs ! a little guidance please :)

[zomgalyssa]

hello all. I am not totally new to ecigs. I bought my mom one for Christmas last year, a joye 510 kit. she went from a pack a day to 1-2 analogs a day. I originally used her extra battery until hers died and she needed it back.

now I'm looking to get my own. basically I just want to find the best deal and there's so many sites out there I don't know where to go. pretty sure I want the 510 since I know it. I really wanted a penstyle for the looks...but the 510 seems to have better reviews overall so I thought the mega batteries would give me the length I'd like.

so I'm looking for th best kit/acc deal at the moment !
joye 510 - not the ego. too big for me. the best standard kit that includes 2x and chargers.
I want at least 1 mega battery. would be great if there are kits with them.
I want stainless Steel colors.
i do need juice so if the site has good juice and I can get it all in one place that's great.

so far the best I've found is lite cig my order there. comes out to 73ish with my moms replacement battery.

this is my list from litecig. can i get everything i want somewhere for a better deal?

about the 510 'tornado'? is this something that is better than the standard 510?? should i go for it instead. i dont want an ego based on how fat it is.

 

[Danielsuzuki]

I would steer you towards smokeless image. Their volt kit seems to be right up your alley. I'd reccomend the 76mm batteries. Good luck and welcome!

 

[tmcase]

You can't go wrong here but there starter kits only come in black or white unless you go with the ego-t. They also give a 20% discount if you click the "Discount" button at the top of the page when you check out.

Welcome to the forum.

 

[Danielsuzuki]

The Volt kit is a KR808d-1 kit. Definately not a 510. Sorry about that.

 

[zomgalyssa]

thanks for the fast replies !!

dang, 20% discount is hard to pass. I think my love of money and silver will outweighs ruling an ego out.

the ego has better th and vapor too ? I may just get the ego over the standard 510. thoughts ?

is the juice at lm tasty ?

The ego will definetly be a better choice, imo..
tasty juices can be found at
freedomsmokeusa
bombayvaping
renu
just to name a few...
click the link for suppliers forum at top of page to see list of vendors....

I wouldn't worry about the size of the ego. You'll get use to it in no time and it is a better PV. I thought it would be too big also after using slim ecigs but now it seems very small compared to my other mods. Trust me, you'll get use to the size.

Joye 510 mega xl MANUALS are nice. I saw Route 66 vapor has kits at a good price. Most use cartomizers instead of the atomizer+carts. Boge 3 ohm can be used and are most popular. The hotter 2 ohm cartos are only for fat battery models like Ego and Riva 510, not for slim batteries. On the manuals a drip tip can be used to test juices.

The other good option is Vapor4Life or SmokelessImage styles of KR808D-1 in the standard aka 78mm battery size MANUALS (120mm long 2/ carto vs 128mm long for the 510 mega xl). These are a good choice if you want a lot of prefilled cartos to try and real 3.6/3.7v batteries. On a manual, a dse901 standard resistance atomizer and drip tip can be used to test juices.

I only recommend manuals. Easier to get a good hit, harder to damage or kill them with juice leaks.

 

[zomgalyssa]

ok then after watching YouTube videos and such the style of the ego is not so bad and I think I will like it

my last question then is ego or ego tank ? or can a regular ego tank ? I've read bad things about flavor and leaking with the ego tank while looking at reviews for the 510s.

I can use boge cartomizers on the ego correct ?

 

[dormouse]

Yes - you can use Boge 3 and 2 ohm cartos on Ego. I think about 50% of people who try the tanks don't like them On the other hand, the Joye Ego T kits are the one with the 5 click enable/disable batteries (handy for pocketing). Also consider the Riva 510 kits at Liberty-Flights.com - if you have pressed that 20% off, the Lite Bundle is under $30. The Riva 510's there are 3.7v (a bit hotter than Ego, same as 3.7v mods). And they had some new black Riva 510 SE kits with 3-click enable/disable. The loose batteries may or may not be new 3.7v stock, except the SE batteries which have always been 3.7v.

And get a drip tip for testing juices.

Correct. Good call on the ego batts. IMO stay away from the tanks, use cartos.

 

[tmcase]

ego tank? NO! Most leak, mute flavor, hard draw and require a lot of fiddling. Boge cartos are great on egos.

 

[helloyouidiot]

I started on the Volt, 2 weeks later I got the V-go from vaporsheaven.com, 1000 mah battery. I bought it because I had so many kr808 cartomizers from smokeless image that I still wanted to use, and I wanted a long battery life. I like it alot. I think the starter kit was $50

 

[zomgalyssa]

Aha! Had to mention another one to me!

Ok then so it's Riva or Ego.
The only thing I see is that based on the limited pictures on Liberty the units all have gold on them? From an aesthetic point I hate gold - are they perhaps black and silver like the ego? The pink one is awfully cute but I don't think I'd like that all the time...
I saw a pure silver one on another site, but I also saw silver and gold ones, which is blech.
Cant beat the LF 20% discount so if all the rivas have gold I may just get the ego.

sorry for all of the questions you guys are all very helpful! Thank you

IMO, your best bet is to go with the eGo-T if for no other reason, you will get the 5-click battery shutoff. Even if you never use the tanks, it's still the way to go. Cartomizers are disposable anyway. I used tanks for a while, never had one leak, though if you are coming off something like a Boge carto, you will notice diminished flavor with the tank - unless you've not been off the analogs long enough for your taste buds to come back to life. The Boge 510 carto's are my weapon of choice with an eGo - or anything else for that matter.

Size becomes irrelevant very quickly when you make a step up in power like that.

I went from analogs to a Smoke51. It was thicker and heavier. Felt weird at first. Within a couple hours of enjoying the new experience of vaping - it felt fine.

Moved from the Smoke51 to an eGo-T the next day. It was thicker and heavier than the Smoke51. But it was orders of magnitude better. Within an hour, it felt just right in my hand. Same deal when I went from 650 mAh batteries to the longer 1100(?) mAh version. Then added the mega-dual coil on that - felt like a baseball bat. Briefly.

Moved from that to a ProVari. And lo and behold, within a very short time, it felt perfect in my hand.

Bottom line is, the bigger batteries will give you a better vaping experience, and that alone will be enough to help you adapt to the new size without even giving it a second thought.

 

[KeysBum]

I have several egos, several ego-ts and several Rivas. I like the vape on the Rivas better than the egos because they have a slightly higher voltage. Regarding the 5 click on/off of the ego-t. Highly overrated IMO. For me, it is so much easier to unscrew the carto half a turn or so to prevent fireing in the pocket than to fiddle with the clicking. Unscrewing the carto a little works with any PV I have.

 

[tmcase]

Genuine egos have the silver band and clear button. The knockoffs like the Riva have the gold band and a soft rubber button although some manufactures are now using silver bands. Sneaky Joyce is starting to put their name on their batts now so there will be no mistake what you get.

 

[zomgalyssa]

Alrighty... Libery Flights has a 'se' version of the Riva which has silver bands. It's a bit more, but I'm gonna go with that one
Might seem a little silly to others to buy something that cost more just because it's a different color. but I hate gold, haha.

Riva 510 SE (black) - $35
510 Metal drip tip - $1.85
Boge 510 Caromizter - $8
Green apple & Menthol smooth juice
Not too many juices sound that great to me from LF. If anyone has suggestions from there - I really dislike tobacco flavors in general so none of those. I think I'll end up maybe getting my juices from somewhere else after initial purchases,

Any other recommendations?
Can drip on the Riva, right?

With my moms replacement battery & atomizer my order totals $72.

looks like a good call to me. Yes, you can drip. Whatever you can put an atty on you can drip.

yes, you can drip with the riva.
I like halo menthol ice Electronic Cigarette by Halo
