how to get started

[aljoeseph]

Hi,
I'm completely new to this and i know there's a ton of info on this forum, but i was hoping someone could make it simple for me.
I've been kind of a closet smoker for a little while now, and i think that switching to an ecig would be an overall good thing for me. I would only ever be using it in my home while i'm alone, and maybe occasionally while driving alone. I get a little bit of information overload when i read these forums, so i'm really hoping someone can help me with some simple advice on what to buy and where to buy it.
Thanks in advance!
-Al

If your a real light smoker you can get away with using the mini style ecig's like the 4081, 510 etc. Although at the moment the best bang for the buck is probably the 20% off deal from liberty flights you get a Riva for $30. Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - Riva 510 Other then the kit all I would reccomend buying is a few different small sizes of juices to find what you like and a 5 pack of 510 cartomizers.

Hi aljoeseph and welcome to ECF! I have the kr808d-1 from goodprophets and I like how simple it is to use. Take a look at mistressnomads videos for newbies at the top of the page for some good ideas on getting started. Buy small samples of eliquid until you find something that you really like.

There is a good sale on the Riva 510 kit over at liberty-flights dot com website. $29.99 for the kit while they last. Mine is on the way! I currently have a standard 510 and love it, but the battery life is killing me. I can't stand swapping batteries every few hours. The Riva will fix that problem nicely.

Edit - oops, someone beat me to it...lol

Check out MistressNomad's videos at this link: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-videos-newbies-particular-broke-newbies.html - they are an excellent introduction to PVs and vaping.

Hi and welcome to ECF. If you're a light smoker, less than 1/2 a pack a day, a 510 or KR808 will probably do fine. More than that and you'll want more battery life, get an eGo, Hello 016 or something with at least 650mah batteries. Get an extra atomizer, a few small bottles of juice in different strengths and flavors, a box of cartomizers just to try, and an extra box of cartridges. If you only vape at home, you can start cheap if you get a passthrough, a box of cartomizers or an atomizer, and juice. You just need to plug it into your computer's usb drive to use it. Keep in mind that most of us vape way more than we smoked though because it's cheaper, more convenient and not as detrimental to our health.
