[Bigpopa]

Hi guys n girls, newbie to ECF excuse my ignorance but i'm baffled by all the different ecig gadgets out there, need some help please.
My brief history:
me & the wife been smoking for 20 years+ we decided enough is enough, our motivations simple... got 3 kids / want to save money/ cigs are killers...!!
my boss got me interested in ecigs with his sky cig, so I ordered two starter packs, 9 days later not had a cig...wow it's working.
now I've got the vapin bug I want more... More smoke, more throat hit, more tasty juices, more battery life!!!
when I puff, sorry vape on my sky cig I'm left a little underwhelmed, I think I'm starting to get hooked and Im searching the web frantically looking for the next best thinggy gadgets wotsit...!!
Atomisers, Clearomisers, Cartomisers, tanks, Tubes, Dual coil varible 3 switch on off power regulators etc etc. Baffled!!!
I want big hit, Big smoke, cheap to buy, cheap to juice up, long life battery & to look like a ciggie (I think).
some look like mini screwdrivers or worse vibrators..... HELP

i do love my vamo and for the price u cant shake a stick at it. it does not look like a cig. you wont get the same production out of any of the look a likes i have tried. vivinova is a nice tank i also really like my kanger t3 but u do have to buy a adapter to use it on the vamo i have a ego c twist which is what got me started into vv so maybe that would be a good place to go next or you could always jump in the deep end and go straight to rebuildables and APVs

Keep an eye on vapor Joe's blogspot or the deals and steals thread for some good gear at great prices

As the previous postors recommended, a mid-size battery like the eGo style will provide a much better experience than the cigarette sized batteries. So if you can get past the fact that your device doesn't need to look like a cigarette to quit smoking, you've jumped a huge step in the beginner process.

I spend a great deal of time helping new vapors get a good start here in the forum. I've put together an ideal setup that one can purchase using just two online vendors in the following link:

I don't like recommending the typical start up kits from one place, because I've not found one that has the best collection, in my opinion. Many add things that are not ideal for a beginner and not easy to use right out of the box. What I have collected above is very easy to use and all pieces are useful. They are also genuine top brands, not knockoffs that may perform poorly. You get what you pay for.

At the end, I have links to two e-juice vendors who offer sampler packs to try their juice flavors without wasting money on larger bottles that you may not like.

Finding a couple of nice juice flavors that you like is as important, if not more so, as finding the right gear setup.




I also created a sort of picture dictionary of the more commonly used juice delivery devices here for beginners to learn what is available to carry and heat their juices.

I quit fags to save money. I am envious of all these guys buying stuff real expensive but aspire to owning said stuff.

Ego style battery £10
Clearomiser £5
Fluid £2.99
Charger £5

Good to go until you think about backups.

I have two set ups based on the above.

I hate Baditude for being so on the money. Curse you......

The Joyetech Evic is worth considering. Have seen some floating around for a decent price. As far as battery life would go, I would say it'd last for 2 whole days without charge, plus the voltage/wattage settings you can choose from.

I've noticed a much larger throat hit with mixes that contain alcohol in the flavorings. Higher PG to VG ratio also influences this, but a simple way to kick up the TH is add a drop or two of some kind of 80+ proof spirit to 2 mL of juice. Make sure there is no added sugar (e.g. flavored vodkas), or you'll gum up your rig.
