Can you guys make this as easy as possible for me? ;) I smoke a pack to a pack and a half a day of Winston Lights. I would like to purchase an e-cigarette starter kit and am willing to make the investment in mods. I want to make this as easy as possible for myself... know if I spend too long I risk getting discouraged. I know I will have to experiment with juice, but can anyone tell me what I should just go ahead and invest in? I don't care if my cigarette resembles a cigarette in any way. I just want something that while I'm at home I can just smoke instead of having to leave my apartment all the time and to cut down on all the smoke that enters my lungs. I would like I think to be able to walk around my apartment while I'm smoking it but if I get the most cigarette-hit like experience from something that doesn't meant that prereq I am definitely willing to compromise on it. I have attention deficit order. I am hard on my things. I have a cat. Where to buy? Where to return to get my juice? Where to buy replacement parts if needed? Any starter kits that come complete with mods installed for maximum efficiency/punch? Lemme know! Thanks x 1,000,000!!!!!

Sure - do you want good quality and price hardware and crappy juice? Or good juice and overpriced hardware?

The only one-stop place I use at all is for KR808D-1 - I use V4L.com. I use their manual batteries that say they have 10+ second cutoff and my 2 favorite juices are WOW juices from there. I use their WOW cartos with their black delrin drip tip. Only ting I use from elsewhere is I also like the Bloogplanet cartos which are cooler at the mouth end due to their coil position. KR808D-1 is the strongest slim model and the 2nd most popular threading. Note - V4L emails out lots of good sales, sometimes as high as 40% off. Current sale is lower. Until 11am CST.. QUEEN15 for 15% orders up to $70. QUEEN20 for 20% off orders $70-140 (probably mean 71-140). QUEEN25 for 25% off orders over $140.

But for everything else, I buy hardware at a good hardware shop and juice at good juice shops that make juices on-site.

I dont suggest a one stop shop, Also Don't waste your time on the smaller little e-cigs your wasting your time and they will be charging as much as your using them as well as not give you enough vapor, throat hit, and just not be significant enough for you. Most beginners make this mistake and end up buying a bunch of different ones and over spending.

Grab yourself a nice good old Reo Grand @ reosmods.com , then go to RTDVAPOR.com and get some AW IMR 18650 Batts (4 of them ) and a simple Trust-fire TR-001 charger or the Phila charger if ya can afford it. This will be a great set up for you to begin your vaping journey.

Next off to Avidvapor.com and get 4 HH-357 Atty's 2 x 1.5ohm & 2 x 2ohm Atty's. Now your done on hardware and can thank me L8TR :) Great set up for a beginner and in the long run you wont be getting a bunch of crap and will have a terrific start and be off the stinky cigarettes for sure.

As for juice its so subjective but I would say Boba's bounty at Avejuice and whatever else and whoever else tickles your fancy for now, YOU WILL BE BUYING MORE. read some reviews check different ECF approved juice vendors and buy in small quantities until you hit a few you like.


Hope this helps, if you follow it, it will for sure.:2cool:

If you really want to save money and time in the long run. Then you will have to get a high quality e-cig/mod. Like the REO which will last you a lifetime. Also, you will have to get things from different sites. Instead of getting everything from one spot. Mwa has given you very good links to what you would need.

If your interested in more information then you can take a look here. After you get 5 posts then you can make a thread and ask questions:

For a pretty complete one-stop experience I would take a look at the eGo kits at Cignot. http://www.cignot.com/Default.asp It's the real deal Joye hardware, so I would expect no problems there. My eGo batteries are into month 10 now and still working. And the eGo size batteries will give you plenty of run time - so you won't get frustrated by charging batteries all the time.

Sure, not the el-primo selection of liquids. But Cignot does carry everything from the "low end" DK stuff, to Joye, to a few things in "higher end" liquids from Basic and Intellicig. And more importantly, I think, you can get liquids in both PG and VG from the same place. You should start with sample sizes until you figure out what you need there, and in nic level too. And the DK 5 ml samples are only $3.00 each.

Vicki @ Cignot gets stellar marks too for crazy fast - get the orders out the door - shipping. And she will answer any and all e-mail questions pronto if you need to ask noob questions.

My .02. She was the bestest thing ever for me and my first purchases.

Woah thanks guys. You guys are all pretty much on to what I'm looking for - just buy this here, then go here, etc. Just a list of get this get this get this with me in mind. Thanks!!!! My budget I think is $200 maxish but we'll see. Don't want to go *too* crazy but do want to save myself money and time in the long run. Thanks!

If you can afford it get a Provari
;ProVari Variable Voltage Electronic Cigarette

Or the Lavatube if you can't spend for the Provari.

Buy Lava Tube | Get Lava Tubes | Find LavaTubes Carry Case and Accessories

Both of theses are variable volt mods. The provers is top of the line best quality you can get. The Lava tube is a newer mod and has yet to be proven for the ling haul.

I think a variable volt will save you money because none of us know what you will work for you. Even if we did a few months from now as you get off of cigarettes your taste will change. For some people it is low ohm double coil cartos with lots of throat hit. For others it is the flavor that is most important and can't stand to much throat hit. With a variable volt mod you can just dial or click till you find what works for you.

Mwa you say to get a Reo Grand, I have gone to the site you gave and I see none in stock, what is up with that?? Has this brand and mod gone bye bye?? I to am trying to follow your advice above on what to get. I want this to work for me the first time out so I do not get discouraged and go back to smoking. I smoke Marlboro 100 lights at least a pack a day. So I want to try and get as close to the real thing as possible. And a unit that will last as you say a life time. Please advise. Thank you.

Madvapes is another one that's very popular. It's very similar to hoosier e-cig supply. They used to be my only site but, I just realized that I've moved on without even noticing. They have lots of stuff at good prices but, most of it's not what I want anymore. I might go there and get an interesting gadget I want to try now and then but, I don't buy atomizers there anymore. I don't buy batteries there anymore. I don't buy mods there anymore. I make my own juice now. When you start wanting the best and are willing to pay for it, it's not there.

I'll leave this revived thread open since the discussion is at least ecig related :rickroll: No, Reos have not gone away. You'll find a lot of the small batch mom and pop custom ecig shops run out of stock quite often. Reos come up in our classified ads frequently so once you have enough posts and become a verified member you may want to check there.

(I realize this isn't "one stop shopping", but IMO, what I've written below is far better than what you could get from trying to shop from only one vendor.)

From Provape.com:
Provari v2
Provari Extended End Cap for 18650 batteries
2x AW IMR 18650 batteries
Pila Charger
2x 5pack of Boge 3.0 Cartomizers

Then go to to NotCigs.com:
M1A1 Buzz Tank 1.0 (once you figure out what your daily vape will be, you'll fill this up with that juice and use "punched" cartomizers (aka cartos) with it) This is key to having an A+ vaping experience.


Then go to MsTsbakery.com:
Spend at least $50 on a bunch of 6ml size bottles of her juice.
Make sure you get at least 1 bottle of her SnickerDoodle cookie. It's her most popular flavor and also one of the most popular flavors on ECF... it's also what got me off a pack a day analog habit.


Lastly go to CloudsOfVapor.com:
Get their "COV Carto Punch v2". Yes, it's $40, but its the best way to reliably punch your Boge cartos for use in a tank.
