Okay, well.....The ego twist doesn't seem all that big i guess. But, I think i will do what you guys recommend, and start with something like the g6, and im sure in no time i will be upgrading anyways. Silly question....What is VG and PG? Are these flavors?
I hope the g6 will hold up for a little bit, until I get some more money, time to research, and other options to try out. I may get an extra battery if they don't last more than a hour or two. I smoke a lot of analogs, so Im sure I will be vaping a lot. As it is now, even with the analogs, and starting to mess around with the Blu disposables, i go through one Blu every other day. So, that kinda sux. Thanks so much for all the advice.

Oh, and by the way....IF i do order the G6, and like I said I smoke analog NewPorts, what would be the best liquid from them to start with, as Im limited on cash and don't want to go all out just yet.
And, they also have the option for LR carts. Do i need these, or should I stay cheap with the simple starter kit with prefilled carts? Thanks!
A "best" liquid is impossible to predict. A great deal of personal preference is involved. And it can go in unexpected directions. I smoked menthol cigs but don't like menthol liquids. Go figure?
If you're a heavy smoker, you'll want to try the higher end of the nicotine scale. Say around 18 to 24mg... ish. Though that can vary too depending on how much you end up vaping. I was a heavy smoker but dropped to 12mg because I vape often. 24 was too strong.
You'll end up sampling liquids so look for small bottles and "sample packs". You can start with prefilled cartos (that is, cartomizers) but to save money and have more liquid options, you'll want to do your own fills. It's not hard. Can be a little messy (or maybe that's me, I am a klutz
). But you can pick that up as you go. There are YouTube videos (and a lot) that show how it's done. That's how I learned.
Hm... the G6 is KR 808D-1 I
think. At least according to here:

Only issue there is if you did move to an eGo later, the cartos won't fit without some kind of adapter.
You know, if you really need to get going cheap, you could pop over to Cignot for a very nicely priced
Joye 510. I like Cignot, they're one of the
Forum Suppliers and I can tell you personally, they do great customer service.
That's a "cig-a-like" and you can get automatic batteries (that come on when you take a drag like the disposables) or manual (you push a button to fire up the carto). You get more control with manuals and autos can be damaged a bit more easily. Since it's 510, you could get prefilled cartos from any number of places as well as blanks when you decide to do your own fills. Also, if you moved up to an eGo, your cartos would fit the eGo. That's kind of the path I took. From a Blu to a Joye 510 to an eGo Twist.
'Course, that's me. At some point, in all of this, you'll have to say, "I want
that one" and pull the trigger. Nobody can really tell you what will or won't work for you, only offer opinions (and, well, experience too).
But since you mention saving money, I thought of the Cignot kit. You don't want to blow too much money all at once since you'll be having to experiment with liquids and see what works for you and what flavors you like.
Silly question....What is VG and PG? Are these flavors?
Nah, not silly. PG and VG are the "base liquids". The liquids the nicotine and flavoring are mixed into and which actually make the vapor. You can get liquids in all PG or all VG or a mix of the two. And that's another matter of personal preference. PG tends to produce more "throat hit" and many say more flavor (though I don't get that from it myself) while VG is known for producing more vapor. I like vapor over "throat hit" so I lean toward the VG side. But where you'll end up, only you'll be able to find out. There are 50/50 mixes that let you "split the difference" if you want. I have several of those myself.
And, they also have the option for LR carts. Do i need these...
Nah. That's getting a bit "advanced". You'll want SR (standard resistance). The LR are low resistance. You may want to play around with those later but you have to know how they affect your batteries and stuff like that. I'd start with the plain, ordinary cartomizers for now.
Anyway, that's my 15 cents (inflation ya know). Read what others have to say. Halo has a lot of fans too. 510 doesn't "rule the world" or anything. It is widely supported so it's convenient but, as always, your mileage may vary...
