Note on the Stardust - I love mine, but I was advised to get a steel drip tip from gotvapes since the tips can melt. I'm glad I did, as the tip melted on mine after about 2 weeks. I tend to chain vape and I think the heat gets to it.
Hey Guys , New Vape Set Up Question

What else would you need? You want 2 batteries, for sure. You'll probably also want a 5 pack of stardusts. A wide assortment of samplers.
One thing I haven't seen in here yet: Always have a backup (and eventually backups for your backup). You'll think everything is fine until it burns out and you're waiting on a 2 day express order that cost you 15$ for a 5$ part. Same with juice, get the samplers, as soon as you find 2 you like enough to use all day, order larger amount of (10-30mL) them and then work on refining tastes and trying other samples and vendors. I ,personally, go through 4-6mL a day, but am able to vape while working so your consumption may vary.
You forget to charge a battery exactly once.
OH! don't forget nicotine is absorbed slower with vaping that tobacco (10-20 minutes) due to how it's absorbed. The first bit you'll most likely get sick occasionally from vaping like a madman only to have it all hit you 10 minutes later. You get used to your own tolerances shortly, but in public you may want to play on the safe side till you know for sure.
Ed* When getting liquid samplers try out some of the non-tobaccos. You may be surprised. Your tastes will also change as your sense of taste/smell come back, so don't toss out what you don't like right away.

) Any input on KGO VV vs eGo Twist? And what a drip tip i.
last thing that'd be great are any websites you guys would recommend for all the parts I'd need and juices , ( Any one mind posting their favorite juices ether )
recidivus , when you say battery , for example , is the eGo twist the "battery componenet , or is it the atomizer , or both in one ?
And I'm just going to start off buying one battery for starters until I know for sure what I want to stick with . Thanks

The Twist is just the battery, I'm not sure it comes in a kit with attys and a charger. If you get an eGo kit you get 2 batteries, 2 attys, carts and a charger. Believe me, you will need two batteries or a pass through.
I've had good luck with Vapor Kings: http://www.vaporkings.com/Joye-eGo-Twist-s/2368.htm
ETA: The eGo Twist will work with the eGo charger, attys, etc.

Ego is battery, everything else goes on battery, it's the least disposable part of standard ecigs. Egos rate at ~250 charges (6-12 monthsish). I won't get into dripping, but drip tips are "mouthpieces". They come in all shapes and sizes and materials and colours.
I can't recommend any hardware vendors since I use local ones (west coast canada) and you'll get much better pricing and selection from the US. Same thing with juices really (Only used 2 and am now mixing my own), but you can now look at the supplier sub-forums on ECF, and the review pages, and look at something either close to you (possibly a shop to walk in) and/or in your price ranges.

The Ego twist goes up to 4.8 volts. A lot of people like to vape at 5 volts. So it isn't high enough for them. Also the dial ("twist") at the bottom is hard for some to read. Not a passthrough.
The KGOvv goes up to 6 volts. It has an LED display making it easier to read. It goes up in smaller increments - giving you much more control on what voltage you set. Can be used as a passthrough - you can vape it while it's charging. Has voltage adjustment button lock - so it stays where you want it.
This thread has the pbusardo video review on the KGOvv: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...0478-pbusardo-review-kgo-vv-hoosier-ecig.html
Alright I think I have a basic idea now lol you guys are awesome .
KGO kit1100mAh by SLB
Now this is what I want to order right , thats the right KGO etc and all that . Now is there anything else I need or anything else you guys would get with that , or that I should get with that ? How do I know what cartomizers fit ?

510 threaded, should say on whatever you're looking at online (or have it's own section). Oh man you're getting the pink aren't you? That kit looks like a good start. I don't know how much you like toys and such, some folks get an itch to start gathering more stuff even if they don't need it. Myself included.
You'll want to look up how to fill cartos while waiting for it to arrive, there's a few different ways (4 I can think of off hand). A carto can generally be used up to a week, but they're hit n miss. Sometimes you'll get one that burns out sooner sometimes one will last longer.

The carts in that kit are pre-filled. You'll want some empty ones if you want to try other e-liquids. I can't tell from the pictures if it needs a drip tip - I have no clue what a "Bigbore cone" is.
That's a good kit. It's not the variable voltage KGO (in case that's what you wanted). But two 1100 mahs is lots of vape time.
510 cartomizers will fit. I'd say start with SR (standard resistance) single coil cartomizers until you've read up a bit more on other kinds and how to use them.

Oh damn is that the wrong one I linked ? Is there any starter kits for the Kgo vv , or I'd order that starter kit , and then have to order the VV battery seperately . Is it cheaper to order the battery and the charger and the rest of the parts individually , or should I get that starter kit and buy myself one of the VV batts to go with it
Here's the KGO variable voltage: KGO V.V. 650mAh
You'll need to buy cartomizers separate. Actually, I'd get the one you chose, and add variable voltage later.

If the battery is compatible with the charger, there's nothing wrong with ordering a vv later and starting with something simpler, or get one vv with the kit to introduce yourself to it all, or get a vv kit now. There's no "wrong" one really, all 3 options will produce vapour.
The prefilled cartos can probably be refilled at least one more time, though some flavours when blended taste like pants. And not the good edible underpants pants.

Assuming a 1A draw, I believe so. I know for certain my 1000mAh won't last 10 hours of non-stop vaping.

Yes - should be somewhere around that. That's actual vape time. So unless you vape for about 11 hours straight it's going to be a lot longer before it needs charging.
I like the look of that kit.
Is there such thing as a 1000-1100 or whatever maH version of the kgo vv ? I'd rather go with that than the 650 as I do vape quite heavily on my greensmokes . And what websites do you get your cartos from , and will it say if they're refillable or not ? And last thing , whats a tank , just a fancy name for a bigger carto?
At the moment the KGOvv is 650mah. No bigger ones. 1100 mah is a lot.
Here's the standard resistance 510 cartomizers: Boge 3.2ohm SR 510 cartomizers 5 pack
Any cartomizer will be refillable. But if they came prefilled mixing another juice flavor in won't taste so good.
There are different kinds of tanks. A lot of things get called tanks.
Hoosiers has these listed under cartomizers - but they are clearomizers - a kind of tank. Cartomizers
These would go well with the KGO batts.
There are also tanks that have a cartomizer inside them - the cartomizer has holes in it and the juice in the tank goes into the cartomizer. I'd suggest you try a clearomizer rather than these starting out.

A cart has stuffing and holds the e-liquid which is heated by the atty (powered by the battery). A tank (one piece) has an addy on top (generally) surrounded by a tube that hold the liquid. The advantage is that because it holds more liquid you can vape on it longer.The downside is that if you don't like the flavor in the tank, you have to clean it and start over - or fill it with something similar and vape until the new flavor takes over or vape unflavored.
Again, I suggest Doctor Vapors youtube videos. He's a little simplistic, but very clear and straight forward.
