so after lots of research I think I have found the the 510 is the best choice for me, however I have noticed that there are many people that have said to be careful were you buy that there are counterfeits out there. has anyone ever used liquidnicotine.com It has the cheapest prices on the 510 that's shipped from America. I would buy from china and get a slightly better price however I just sent my crappy E9 back to e-cig.com so I am with out and back to analogs. Man this has been one heck of a learning curve and this time I don't want to get screwed.

I am hoping to order by monday I need a kit with at least two attys 2 bats and at least 5 carts. and I dont want to pay more then 40 anyone figure out were I can do this let me know that is if this place is bad.

I found only 3 threads here at ECF mentioning that vendor. It can be hard to tell from just a pic, but theirs looks like genuine Joye. They mention "Normal working voltage: 3.3-4.2V" which is a bit misleading -- that's actually a true statement about the LiIon battery, but the 510 has a control circuit and doesn't deliver constant VDC. Not something you need to be concerned about at this point, I just wish vendors would be a bit more careful in how they state things.

Anyways, the 510 is good way to get started, but 2 batteries isn't typically enough. Yeah, one is charging while you're using the other, but I discovered I could run one of those completely dead before the other was finished charging. I recognize your budget, but if you can swing an extra battery, you'll be glad you did. And definitely get some extra juice too.

Also, ignore the "charge for 8 hours" directions. Your batteries will likely arrive with about a 40% charge, so you can start on one right away, and get the other charging. When the green light comes on, it's charged. No benefit to leaving it on any longer -- no detriment either (unless you have a faulty battery or charger, but we don't go into that now).

What cigs are you smoking, and how many / day?

Oh, and welcome to ECF!

thanks for the welcome by the way and I have been on here for a little over a month now but thanks again. I smoke rolling tobacco at the moment 5-10 a day I had the other ecig and quite smoking analogs for a little over a week, so I'm trying not to smoke to many a day with the other e-cig I started at 24mg then ordered more juice at 11mg that seemed a bit low so I figure I'll split the difference and go with 18mg. anyway I just don't want to get ripped off anymore and I want a three piece. I plan to buy a pack of 5 bats from china at a place I found 5 for 45. and 5 atomizers for 21 I just need to get the first part in asap.

I second cignot.com. They sell genuine Joye 510s.

Also, before you spend all that money on 5 batts that you will never need look into an ego battery first.

When I first started vaping I bought 8 kr8 batts and now I sit here wondering why. An ego or a mod would be a better investment IMO. The ego is 900 mah and charges in a couple hours.

While I generally agree that higher mah batteries are way better, I also won't assume someone would never need extras of the model of their choice. Batteries can fail. And there were times, before I got my eGo, that I wished I had more than 3 510 batts.

I know for a fact FreedomsmokesUSA carries the real deal joye 510 and joye eGo starter kits. But i also know that cignots does too. So i am not sure you will find what your looking for on the site. I also understand that this is the internet and you need to be careful. So search these companies in these forums. I think you will find no bad reviews of them. If they were trying to pull fast ones or sell knock offs you for sure would here about it here.
