I`m so new to this!

After looking aroung awhile i think i landed on the ijoy avenger as my eye sight is geting bad and its display seems easyer to read than most dont care about its voice function. Any thoughts or suggestions?

The visual display would be an important feature in your situation if your eyesight is getting bad.

I'm not sure that the accompanying tank would be suited for you, though. It's a direct-to-lung, high wattage sub-ohm tank. Generally speaking, new vapers tend to do better with mouth-to-lung, low wattage tanks that use higher ohm coils. Something like an Innokin Zenith or Aspire Nautilus tank would be better suited.

But try the tank that comes with the Avenger to see how it vapes first. If you end up not caring for the tank, consider the Zenith or Nautilus tanks.

See the main reason im looking at the avenger is i can make since of the display at a glance and i have failing vision so readability is a plus for me and i dont have any expireance with box/adjustible box mods thats realy all i can look at oh and it can use the same coils as the dimond tank i have currently so i wouldnt have to store added parts

Coils only depend on the tank you're using, not the mod. Unless you mean you're going to get the kit and that tank which is in the kit uses the same coils with the one you currently have.

Yeah i was going to get the kit the tank i currently have is useing the preinstalled 40-90w dm-mesh that comes with the wand kit

And from what i can see on ijoy`s web sight the avenger and dimond tanks have the most cross compatable coils incomon and come with 2 diffrent coil sets and for what they charge just for the tanks the mod is a bonus because i get to try the different coils with diffrent tanks and diffrent devices and chose which set up i like best. I will say this much i dont think the place i went to like smok devices although i did look at a number of diffrent ones i always had to zoom in to read the displays

It sounds like you have been getting some great advice. It never hurts to have a backup or two for your vape gear. So, hello and welcome to ECF.

Hi and welcome! I've only been vaping for about 8 months total, 6 months off the cigarettes, I love it and I don't plan to ever go back.
So, you never answered about whether you prefer mouth-to-lung (MTL) or direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping style. MTL is like a cigarette, you draw the vapor into your mouth, then inhale, DTL is where you inhale the vapor directly into your lungs without holding it in your mouth first.
I went straight to the direct-to-lung style. It's a lot more fun for me, as I can blow mad clowdz and get great taste, as well!
I agree with you, the vaping world can seem intimidating at first, but the great thing is that there is something for everyone, at all levels of experience, and forums like this are full of helpful friendly people who want nothing more than to assist us in staying off the cigarettes.
Also, I've found that online vape stores are also a great resource, in addition to local shops. You can check out the descriptions and reviews and get tons of feedback about a product before you buy. Elementvape and VaporDNA are two online sellers that I've had good experiences with.
Youtube is also a great resource for us beginners. You can find a review of pretty much any vape equipment out there.
As far as mod recommendations, again, I'm still pretty new to this, but I progress pretty fast. I currently have 3 mods: Innokin Kroma-A, Eleaf Tessera, and the Voopoo Drag. I also have 4 tanks: The Cleito Exo, the Uwell Crown III, the Uwell Valyrian, and the Horizontech Falcon Resin Artisan edition.
My favorite mod out of all 3 is the Voopoo Drag. Love the look and feel, it's an all-metal mod that is very sturdy and seems like it will last a long time. It also has the benefit of being my first mod that has dual removable 18650 batteries. This is a plus for me, as both of my other mods have internal batteries that cannot be removed, so once the batteries wear out, the mod is useless. The Kroma-A and Tessera are both great mods, don't get me wrong, but the Drag has longer battery life and the Gene chip is super-responsive and comes with a Windows app for your PC that you can use to customize everything right up to the boot-up screen. Screen is also very bright and clear. All 3 mods are pretty portable, the drag is the largest and heaviest of the bunch but it still fits in my pocket well.
It all really comes down to what you want...I wanted something durable, with good battery life, that can still fit comfortably in my pocket. All 3 mods fit those criteria, with the Drag being the best of the bunch, in my opinion.
I liked all of the tanks I listed except the Valyrian. I just didn't like the taste and the draw was way too airy for me. The Cleito is more suited for MTL style, as it has a restricted, non-adjustable airflow. Flavor is very good, though.
As far as coils, each material has it's own merits. I've vaped stainless steel, and kanthal, in both standard and mesh coil systems. Both have really good flavor, but I have to give the edge to kanthal. Currently I'm using the Falcon tank which comes with mesh-style coils and the cotton is actually a woodpulp/cotton blend. Flavor is outstanding, I'm at a week and a half with the M1 single mesh coil (the tank kit also comes with a triple-mesh coil), and it still vapes great! Average lifespan of a coil depends on your vaping style, but for me, it seems to be 1-2 weeks.
Here is a pick of the Tessera with the Crown III tank and my Drag with the Falcon tank...

If you do decide to go with a mod with removable batteries, there are a lot of battery options out there. Be sure to check out mooch's blog for tons of info. I have two pairs of what is called 18650 batteries, Sony VTC5a and HohmLife. Both work great, I get two full days of vaping out of each.
All this is just my opinion based on my experience, ultimately, you have to find what works for you. Just try not to get intimidated and make the journey fun!
Anyway, hope this helps some, enjoy the ride and good luck!

I prefer DTL lots more flavor. The eleaf looks like a well built mod and easy to read as well at least the pic you have of it is any way. As for battery i would prefer removables easyer charging that way sucks waiting for my ijoy wand to charg 3&1/2 -4&1/2 hours luckily so far ive only had to charge it twice im the week that i have had it. When i stared out like was stated almost all the devices i had were MTL they all left a bad taste in my mouth. The greensmoke cigalike was the worst tasted like dish soap most of the others almost tasted like latex gloves if that makes any since. But i dont get that off my wand which is DTL so ill stick with it.
