so, here is a little back story. dec 21 i bought a Mistic kit from walmart. not a bad little kit, it gets the job done to the point i am over 24h without an analog. so, now im looking to move on to a little better kit. my issue is i want a kit about the same size as the Mistic for work since i need to keep it discrete. so for that im thinking a 510 or 808 system. here is where the problems start, at home i would like to run either the same thing or maybe even a little bigger but would like to run a tank system. now, im not on a tight budget but would like to keep it reasonable since i am just starting out. can anyone put together a good setup for both work and home? as i said earlier im thinking the 510 or 808 for work and maybe the KGO for home. any input would be greatly appreciated. i would like to order at least one setup, if not both setups by tomorrow evening. please recommend kits, parts, and options and maybe the best place to buy. another thing is juices, best places to buy that you have dealt with. thanks in advanced.
help a nOOb out.

Not sure about kits so much but I started on the yeti 510 kit from altsmoke, the batteries lasted 3hrs tops with heavy vaping so I had the pcc kit with it which was nice for charging but I found myself changing batteries more than I wanted to so then I got a box mod from madvapes and was making it a full day at work with 2x 14500 in paralell.
As for liquids it depends on what flavors you are looking for, I've just finished off a 15ml bottle of vanilla cupcake from tvr which tasted just like a fresh cupcake.

building my own mod box is not out of the question down the road. i have good soldering skills, a pretty good understanding of building circuits, as well as good wood working skills as well as the tools needed. i also have some free time to do the work so i do see a home built rig in the near future, just want to start off with an already made kit so i have something better than what i have to use while doing it. how did you like the Bloog, or is that just a generic counter in your sig?
You may want look in to the Echo they are 808 auto batterys, that come in 650 1100 and 1300ma.
The Echo cartomizers hold 3ml, and you can use them on your Mistic battery looks a bit odd but it works
As well as standard 808 cartomizers.
Hope this helps

Get a standard ego kit. They are a tad bit bigger but still discrete and with low resistance attys and cartos they perform really really well. They are also fine to run a tank on. I have tried using my tank on my standard 510 pass through and it's a little awkward.

Im not a fan of slim ecigs so I can't help you out there. There are some decent ones though that people do like. For a slim ecig, I wouldnt use a tank system though. Cartos would be alot better.
For a bigger battery PV though you could use a tank and it would work well. The kGo is a solid PV and many peoPle like them alot. Other 3.7V options would be the Riva and Epower. I use an Epower and love it. The biggest difference is that the Epower uses non-proprietary batteries.
Any of those though would be alot better than a slim ecIg. They are def bigger, but not overly big. I carry my Epower in my pocket everyday and stealth vape it at work with no problem.
Many people also like the eGo, but they are 3.3-3.4V. They have their own tank system that you have the option to get, but they are finicky and leak alot. That's not the kind of tank I was referrIng to and I dnt recommend you get them. Carto tanks are the tanks that work great and will work well.
I wouldnt get the VV riva or ego batteries. They arnt that great. I think you'd like the kGo or Epower alot mOre.

i havent had any prob with my ego-t and nether did my brother-in-law before he sold it to me. i had one leak and thats because i cracked my tank trying to twist it around instead of pulling it out and putting it back on. the "issues" with the tank system are easy to deal with and you wont have to deal with much if u do some reading and use common sence. i wouldent recomend it for work if your trying to hide it. but at home/street i def. recommend it! the std. ego is a little smaller and more concelable.
ok, so im thinking a Variable Voltage Riva for home use with a tank. any disadvantages to this? and a ego-t for going out and about. now the question is cartomizers, need something that i can fill up and last most if not all day. i wont be doing much vaping during the day, i can only get away a few times during the work day.
Have you ever considered a kGo from hoosierecigsupply.com
I have purchased two kits from him. He has great customer service!! They are 1100mah batteries. I don't know the seller personally, just really like what he sells. He has weblinks on his site about the kGo. They are manual batteries, with an on/off 5 click so putting it in ur pocket is not an issue.
Happy New Years!!

Ok I first had a kr808 it sucked big time. Next I went to an egot t it was good got me off the cigs. Next went to a Reo. Unless you have very small hands a reo mini is very discreete even with small hands it will pretty much disappear in my wife's little hands.I'm not too worried about being discrete myself as I wasn't when I smoked so it's not a big deal to me but I highly recommend them for ease of use and durability
i have looked at the Kgo but there in lies one of the problems of a noob starting out. i have read so much over the last couple of days my brain is in overload mode. i cant remember what i have and havent looked at nor can i remember what i saw that i liked or what has good and bad reviews. its a little overwhelming to say the least. i will take another look at them though. maybe use those instead of the ego-t.
You could save lots of steps and money in the long run if you get a good VV mod. If you stick with vaping long enough you will eventually buy one or two or three or more anyway.
Easiest setup for out and about or work is an eGo battery with a Boge 2.0ohm carto.
For at home, and you don't want to invest a bunch of money, is the Riva Indulgence V3. Can be used at 3.7 up to 6V depending on the batteries you put in it. Mods

i have plenty of the 18650 batteries and i know mods are in the future. at least one mod is the plan for using at home.
thanks for the link. that is a nice clean looking unit and as i said in my last post i have plenty of batteries to use in it.
Mylt1,
The 2 juice vendors I love are VaporsEtc and KickBassVapor. VaporsEtc is really cool because they have $6.95 sampler pack for 5 samples. I love trying their flavors because I don't get upset if I don't like it cus it only cost $1.40 to try it Their tobaccos, vanillas and fruit flavors are excellent.
Vapor Juice, Vapors Etc
KickBassVapors are exquisite in taste but offer no sample packs so every bottle is a $6.75 gamble. I have REALLY loved about half the juice flavors I have tried from there. Their Caramel Popcorn, Candy Bar and Warm Sugar Cookie are to DIE for!
KickBassVapor E-Liquid

Mylt1, I am in love with the flavors at mom and pops (linked in my sig) the 5 layer, caramel, and butterfly bait are pretty damn good! And their customer service and shipping is top notch! Since you are closer to them than me, you should get an order in no time. They have a forum here if you want to check them out.
Good luck, I haven't looked back since I got my eGo, and I smoked for 22 years with no hope of quitting.

Here's a few suggestions for you. If you really want a solid 808 cig type kit then a VOLT is a great choice. I would go with 78mm batts along with the Pro kit. Since it has a PCC which will allow you to have more battery life on the go:
Smokeless Image | Only The Best Electronic Cigarette | Volt - Pro Starter Kit - Starter Kits *It's out of stock right now but, they re-stock pretty fast.
A KGO is a very solid big batt. Have one myself and it works great:
KGO kits and parts
If you REALLY want a VV device then I would go with a mod. Such as a Provari, Darwin, or something along those lines. This is because I think that the Ego VV batts are crap. They don't allow you much room to find your sweet spot in terms of voltage or wattage. Along with other features. Also, you might as well buy something right the first time instead of wasting cash.
