My screwdriver is currently in the mail (I believe) and i was wondering what other parts and accessories would be good to stock up on. I was cruising through TW and want to purchase both tobacco, menthol, and fruit flavors. How many cartridges do i need? Should i buy pre filled or empty? how many atomizers should i have? does the variety pack come with a dripper? I really don't know much about e-cigs so advice on what to stock up on would be great.
thanks,
Michael

attys, e-liquid, blank carts for the e-liquid, and why o why dont TW or ECC have 16340 batts? i just reuse the cart un till it gets to much teeth scratches on it, i do a acohol clean for the plastic, hot soappy water for the filler untill it come apart to easy and make PTB or polyfil to re fill it.
i dont know about the variety pak, it may come with a seprate eyedropper or that insert that is under the cap that drops a drop so slow that i just throw them away and use the dropper, i have only got the 30ml bottles, and the dropper comes in in a box, that is in a box, with a box that has the 30ml bottle hehehe two items, three boxes, foam wrapped, very cool.
so attys, e-liquid, batterys, some carts, i have some batts coming from china, and a spare charger.

Wow that's different, starting with a mod... That might be the hard way to do things...

Ussally people start with a kit, with everything you need right out of the box.

the question is, what does the screwdriver you ordered come with? I know some mod kits don't even have batts.. Why atty fits on that model? Does it come with a atty?

Also what voltage is it running at? I don't think you want to start vaping at 6 volts. It will damage attys alot quicker from newbie mistakes like running dry ect.

Honestly if I were you, I would find out what atty comes with the screwdriver, or which atty fits. For example if it comes with a 801 atty, order a whole 801 kit. Put the screwdriver on the back burner and use it once you are compfortable with the stock 801.

AS for e-juice, grab a couple 30ml bottles with different flavors. 10-15mg nic if a very light smoker 18+ for light smoker, 24-28 pack a day, 36mg for very heavy 2 pack smoker.

What you should get really depends on what your goal is.

If you just want to try a PV to see if it is for you, then perhaps not a lot.

I am not sure what your sb comes with, is it just the battery housing, battery and charger? Or does it come with an attomiser and prefilled carts?

For any PV, you need the folowing:

Battery: (battery housing optional, found on big battery mods) At least 1 spare battery or set of batteries depending on what your device uses.

Attomisers: 2 is the bare minimum I would suggest, so you have a backup in the eent one dies untill you can get a replacement in. They are cheaper in 5 packs however.

Carts: Prefilled or blank or both, depends on if you wish to refill the carts yourself or not.

Ejuice: If you want to refill the carts I would suggest this highly. Several flavors to try different things, and perhaps a few different strengths as well to find one that you like again.

Battery Charger: cant vape with a dead battery!

Notes: the type of atty you will need depends on what adapter the pv you ordered comes with, unless you also bought adapters for multiple types of atty's, in which case you may want at least 1 atty of each type of adapter you have to try out and find which you like best.

sd comes in a 901 or 801 atomizer, 3.6vdc 770mah to 1000mah battery. a button to press when you inhale thru the aty`s cart.
trog`s site gets you 2 batts, charger, 2 attys, 4 carts, 10ml e-liquid, either 901 or 801. silver or black.

i made a 901 to 801 leded adaptor so i get to use both.
a quick disconnect neck strap. hehehe

I stand correct. They might want to do a better job of marketing the SD, as a kit rather than a mod.

I just lumped it in with other mods like the Chuck, that I beleive don't even come with batteries and charger.. Not a good place to start as a newbie.

Heaven-gifts is good. However the shipping is slow and expensive, but the low prices make up for it if you order multiple items. Order like 5 bottles and 5 901 attys and its more than worth it.

kk. Do i need to buy any more cartridges? I imagine i will do some dripping but can i drip onto a prefilled cartridge? does it even make a whole lot of difference? and what is the difference between 25's 50's and 100's when buying liquid?

and for the record, i did not make the 901 to 801 adapter untill after i got back from trog the SD i dropped on the atty without a battery in the case....(still worried trog`s coming to take it back) on one SD has the adapter and the other SD dosnt, if i take the 801 off, i leave the adapter on (cleaning the 801)
i think 25`s 50`s, 100`s mean how many, usally 901`s cart come in a box of 5, 5 boxes in a box of 25 and so on.

I've used 3 carts and 2 attys for a month and they are still going strong.

I wouldn't waste my money again on pre-filled carts, you are just buying e-juice at and inflated price. you can refill prefilled carts. Dripping is done dirrectly on the atty not the cart. You use drips (but its not the act of "dripping" to fill carts) confusing eh.

As for how many to buy, if I recall its like $1.50 for 10??? So blow 5 to 10 bucks and have a supply for between a year and lifetime ;)

No offense at all is meant but you may need to do a little more reading before you get the SD. Dripping is drops to the atomizer, not the cart. You drip in the cart and that's topping off.Be careful when dripping or you may flood the atomizer and it won't produce hardly any vapor. As far as how many carts to order, if you're ordering blanks I would get at least 10, you can refill them. Of course there are several other things that can be done to the carts as well but you'll find more info on that as you search through the forum.

I vape a good bit. The first 15ml I bought lasted me almost 3 weeks. So order accordingly.

There is such a wealth of information and great people willing to help!

I'm sorry if I can off wrong. I really didn't mean anything offensive.

PM me if I can help and good luck!
