Hello to all, I'm facing a dilemma.

The Vivi Nova is a great tank. For that, I would probably use an eGo Twist or eGo Spinner unless you want something big like a Vamo or Zmax.

I hear good things about the eGo line I believe the only diff between a KGO and an eGo is the KGO is a 3.7 and the eGo is a 3.5. depends on how hot you like your vape I guess.
 
Oh perfect, where can i order these? and then i just put them together? I don't have particular favourite brands but i go with Marlboro Gold and lucky strike Mint most of the time, so probably i would like light flavours and even some menthol.

there are lots of both Menthol and Marlboro variants.
my friend vapes this menthol:
Menthol E Juice Baker Vapor - Mt Baker Vapor - Electronic Cigarettes
and really enjoys it.

I'd recommend starting at 12mg of nicotine. What I like to do is mix my tobacco flavors with fruity flavors (blasphemy?!) you get the effect of sort of like a PrimeTime flavored cigar if you've ever tried those.

Well, the nice thing about the eGo Twist and Spinner (same thing really) is they are variable voltage so you can adjust up to about 5 volts to get the perfect vape.

I understand you may not be going with a cigarette like vape anymore but remember, if youre not comfortable with something its probably not going to work for you. If you think youd prefer a cig-a-like (even if simply for style) then you should get it. Many people will use the kits that are being recommended for home use and use a cigarette style when they go out.

Halo G6 is the way to go in the cig-a-like world, and all the good starter variable voltage options have been mentioned. Best of luck!

So i think now it's mostly to choose between KGO and eGo, and i have seen that both are amazing. Wow, there's actually a whole science behind e-cigs, and it's fascinating to say the least! I just want to have to do one order so as to get my hands on a PV. I'm not that much of an assembly guy but i guess i could assemble something simple. Thankyou for your suggested e juice, it seems really interesting. If there is something in the local store it should work right? I mean, the juices don't have to be the same brand with the atomizer to they?

I keep meaning to try Halo. I should really give them a go.

no your juices can be any brand- just be buyer aware never buy a juice that isnt properly labelled ect just common sense stuff

I prefer Boge LR (2.0-2.4) cartomizers... never have to worry about a leak or muted flavor. I started with and still use Joye Ego C upgrade passthrough batteries at home and a cigalike when out and about. Then I use a standard Joye 510 manual battery with the same cartomizers I use at home. I find Joye batteries to be dependable and safe. I don't buy any of the many knockoffs out there. If you like the idea of a little variable voltage without going all the way into variable volatages, make sure the Ego battery says "upgrade" or C2 or T2, the "2" meaning "upgrade." Oh, and if you do go with a cigalike, either now or later, steer clear of proprietary stuff or you'll be locked in to that manufacturer... everyone uses 510 connections (threading) and that's why I went with it. The thing is to make everything you use work with everything else you have.. if not, it can get pricey fast and use adapters with. That's also why I stick with 510 cartomizers. I've seen too many people buy a pricey clearo or tank (which you might still have to use cartomizers (punched) in) and they won't sit on their preferred battery. There's time for messin around with clearos and tanks later when you're ready to spend bucks on trial and error stuff which I never have because I'm happy keeping it simple... as I said, tiny by comparison, throw a few filled ones in my pocket or in a tic tac box and I'm good for the day with no leaking issues... not to mention saving myself the "look" from those seeing juice in a huge tank sitting on a bazooka.:ohmy:

Edit: word of caution... I would stay away from automatic batteries. Stick with manual whatevers. With an automatic, one tiny leak onto the battery and its dead forever.. a throw away... manual batteries are sealed.

I'm rethinking to not even go with cigalikes now. What would you suggest? Thanks for the suggestions.

Also have owned a Kgo for well over a yr and it still fires great.

JoyeTech eGo fires at 3.3 volts and the Kgo fires at 3.7 volts. I own both and notice the difference.
KGO kit1100mAh by SLB

A review by highly regarded PBusardo- also gives you an idea of the size



Different delivery systems: Holds and vaporizes the juice
Note bolded Atty, Carto, etc is the abbreviated form

Atomizer/ Atty- an element on to which 3-4 drops of juice is dripped- usually used for testing new juices because Attys are easy to clean. There are some diehard Atty users because it’s the best vape possible but very time consuming.

Cartridge/ Cart- a container with sponge (filled with juice) that is used with the Atty- juice drips on to Atty from filled cart and is vaporized- older outdated first “tank” system and prone to leaks unless the user is willing to buy extra seals and “fiddle” with them.

Cartomizer/ Carto- metal tube with stuffing and element. Holds anywhere form 1- 4 ml of juice. Carto is fully saturated and must be occasionally refilled when juice runs out. My Cartos last 1-2 weeks. Best Cartomizer I’ve found is the Smok Tech XL 1.7 single coil. Boge 2.0 ohm cartos will give a cooler vape. Always use single coil cartos with 3.3- 3.7 PVs for the best vape.

Carto+Tank- a Carto with a hole punched in it. Carto is than placed in a glass, metal or plastic tank which is filled with juice- juice saturates Carto by way of hole in Carto. My Cartos with a tank last, before tight draw occurs: light juices- 80-90 ml. dark juices- 50-60 ml.

Clearomizer (includes the Stardust and the Vivi Nova)- a plastic or metal tank with a wick and element. Contains NO stuffing. The rebuildable clearos come with heads (coil+ wick) that can be cheaply ($2.00) and easily (10 secs) replaced. When the head burns out simply unscrew the old head out and screw in new head- takes 10 secs. My Vivi Nova heads are lasting about 4 weeks BUT I wash the heads every few days. I've found the Vivi Nova to give the best draw. "If" you decide to purchase the Mini Vivi Nova only buy the Vision brand as knockoffs are sometimes problematic

If wanting to buy a variable voltage PV there's the Spinner- diff sizes- 400 mah- 1300 mah.
Battery Info: 100 mah= 1 hr vaping before recharge is needed.
Best of Luck and my last bit of advice...Take your time is selecting a PV as it will be your friend for at least the next 9 months.

Where can i purchase entire starter kits and get them shipped in Europe? I think only hoosier e-cig and liberty-flight could work but I'm unsure since country selection is only on checkout, so i must get in contact with them. Any other vendors which definitely ship in European Countries??

Sorry I didn't realize you were from Cyprus. The Riva is exactly the same as the Kgo and Vape Escape is a highly regarded and reputable Vendor:
The VE Riva 1100 Deluxe Kit £34.95 - Deluxe Vaping Kits - Riva 1100 Kit Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid
Discount Code allabout - gives 10% off.
