I am bran new to e cig's I have ben using a pro smoke e cig for about 2 weeks and at first it was great but now it is giving me a burning in my mouth and throat I know I need to get new cartridges but I have put new poly fill in the old ones and new juice and some times it's a smooth hit but after the first time back to the burn it sucks and has made me go back to smocking but I have done a lot of video watching on you tub and am thinking a bottom feeder or a tank will give me a much better experience but just cant choose what to get I like the way the bottom feeder eliminates the use of the filter thinking that will get rid of that burn I'm getting with the pro smoke but I don't like the fact that they leak and not to crazy about the big box but I am a crafts men and it's something I could make fairly cheep and I really like a lot of the tub mods but there so expensive I just hate the idea of spending over $100.00 on something that doesn't work that well I just don't know what to go with I smoke around a pack and1/2 a day so I think if I can get something I like I would be smoking an e-cig quite a bit I rely hope you all can help me with some Ideas thank you


Also my wife is interested in doing this with me and she is wanting a small but reliable non filter unit she likes the tub style e-cig thanks again

Hi and welcome,

One of my devices is a reo mini (bottom feeder) which I love and have never had issue with it leaking. That said reos are not cheap, and being unsure if you would even like a bottom feeder you should check out Pocket Mods here on the forum, he makes bottom feeders that are around $30 http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...order-3-7v-5v-vv-box-mods-bottom-feeders.html.

That would allow you to try one and see if you like it then if you do you can always look at others later.

sounds like your atomizers are getting dirty/burned up might want to try to pop it off and boil it for a few minutes and dry it off,or replace it.
but if you are going to get into smoking ecigs and plan on quitting regular cigs you are going to want something a little better then those little guys,they are great to get people introduced to ecigs but are more frustrating then anything else and for people using them they are usually not enough to get them to quit the cigs all together.

i would suggest getting a good solid ecig that would serve you well for at-least your first 6 months of vaping after that you will probly be wanting a mod.

these would be a great starter kits for you and your wife and the site also has some great e-juice.:
Great basic kit
Even better/advanced kit

can you please take a minute to explain the difference between the two other then the extra added items tike the carry case, dropper bottle and so on

•2x Joyetech eGo-C Twist 650mAh Batteries (upgrade to 1000mAh batteries available)
•1x Vivi Nova Tank Set (choose 2.0ml or 3.5ml and includes tank and three 1.8 ohm heads)
•5x Vivi Nova replacement heads - 2.8 ohm
•1x USB Wire Charger
•1x A/C to USB Coverter
•1x eGo Thread Cover - (Small if 2.0ml tank chosen, Large if 3.5ml tank chosen)
•1x E-Cig Zippered Carrying Case - Large
•1x Empty 3ml Dropper Bottle (for carrying your liquid with you)



I noticed this one has 2.1-2.4 ohm Clearomizer what's that about


eGo Starter Kit Includes The Following:
•2x Joyetech eGo-C 1000mAh Batteries
•4x Vision eGo Clearomizers - 2.1-2.4 ohm
•1x USB Wire Ch


I was also looking at this one because its in stock but it has a SmokTech Redux with a 1.8 ohm what's the difference in them all other then the name and the ohm's they all 3 look the same to me


eGo Starter Kit Includes The Following:
•2x Joyetech eGo-C 1000mAh Batteries
•2x SmokTech Redux eGo Clearomizers - 1.8 ohm
•5x SmokTech Redux replacement heads - 1.8 ohm

The eGo-C Twist is a variable voltage device, which allow you to change the voltage and increase the power.
The regular eGo is a fixed voltage device, so to increase power, you will need to change the head by changing the resistance of the atomizer. Lower ohm provides more power (heat) at the same voltage.
I use eGo-C batteries and have both regular ohm (2.4) and low resistance (1.8) atomizers

Note that the Vivi Nova tank set is bigger in diameter than the ego battery, hence the thread cover while the clearomizers are the same diameter as the battery and provide a more streamlined look. But a lot of peoples swear on the vivi nova, and with the ego twist, it is probably what most veterans would suggest to go with regardless of the look ;)

Note also that using 1.8 ohm atty with high voltage from the twist will probably burn the heads, so if you go with the first setup, be careful not to run with too much power (high voltage low resistance)...

My 2 cents

If you consider eGo kits I'd recommend to consider eGo-C Twist only. Although slightly more expensive they provide a valuable feature: varying voltage. This allows to find the best voltage for each type of cartomizer with any resistance. So the first kit looks definitely pretty good for me, although I never used ViVi Nova tanks, I use DCT tanks.

Cool I am going to try this eGo-C Twist VV w/ Vivi Nova Tank. Have any of you bought any of there juice can yall recommend a good flavor I have ben getting mine from Johnson creek and I like some of what I have tried from them but not to crazy about any I have tried I am looking for a VG only with a good throat hit with a lot of vapor something maybe a tobacco I like the rainier cheery and the Tennessee cured and a solstice fruit all from johnsoncreek.com I don't know. Any thoughts I know I want a good to medium throat hit not to strong and a lot of vape I like a sweet flavor but not to sweet and my wife is looking for a strate Tabaco flavor with absolutely no sweet but not to strong I have ben smoking Marlboro lights up till this point and my wife Virginia slims reg. if that helps at all. I guess what I am looking for is what's some of the most popular ones out there or what's some of yall's favorites. Thanks

all there juices have been good that i have tried my wife loves there blueberry waffle i think its a bit to buttery for my taste but there juices are great and really affordable, "good" flavors are really subjective everyone likes different things really.

one thing to note on there site when ordering juice is dont select "extra strong flavor" just go with there standard flavoring they are really strong flavored and the "extra strong" is for people who want to thin it down themselves.

as far as tobacco flavors thats a tough one most tobacco flavors smell and taste how a cig smells in the pack not burning.
im yet to find one that has tasted like a good burning cig and thats ok cigs didnt really taste all that well anyways.
most people who like the strait tobacco flavors seem to like Ry4,4-Star General ,DK-TAB. i used to use Desert Ship its supposed to taste like a camel, the US RED is supposed to taste like a Marlboro but cant say i haven't tried it myself.

Good choice mate, but for juice your going to have to try a lot before you hit your favourite flavour, nicotine strength I would suggest going a mg's up omn whatever your analogs are, as you find out more about the vaping choices you can make more personalised purchases, since I'm in Australia I generally buy pre mixed juices from China , some good some bad, but the American market has vendors that take it to the next level, good luck and vape on.

I see clouds of vaper has both the vivi nova and the ego twists. This is not in a kit but I will keep looking. I think You should probably check out discount vapers. I have used them in the past and really liked them and their prices. They have the twists and the vivi nova. If you go with them don't forget the charger. I would get a 650 mah and a 900 mah battery with a charger and a vivi nova. I would also order a cheap 510 atomizer for trying out different flavors. Also you will want the smaller vivi nova.

Hi, I am new to ecig vaping also. It can be very overwhelming for new folks. I think I understand some stuff, like the vairiable voltage is to adjust the heat from the atomizer (effecting flavor)...right? The batteries come in different MAH and the higher MAH the longer they last...right? What I dont get is someone talks of adjusting the power? How and Why would you have to do that??

I'll give a second shout out for the eGo twist and vivi nova's I've got three 1000mah twist and 10 nova's all together,(not counting all the other PV's and such). Another option is call the Spinner. It's basically the same as the twist but the adjustment knob is larger and easier to turn. IMHO.
