$50 - $100 will get you most APV kits out there, meaning you can find exactly what you like. You just need to outline what you want once you discover what your options are. For example, do you want a smaller profile, a colored APV, longer battery life, etc. I have a few mods myself, and I just love the Sigelei V3 telescoping mod. Big or Small. Shorter or Longer battery life. Home or out. Stealth or Not. Just a lot of flexibity. Also, a lot of vendors carry these and prices can vary about $25 for the kits, probably all less than $100. That being said, my wife loves her Anyvape CVI 1, I love my Sigelei mini. I'm on my third eVic and it's my favorite display, but by far the least durable mod out there imho. Also, the iTaste V3 with variable wattage has just come out and it's now our new favorite out and about mod, our Friday night mod if you like. Anyway, a big part of the allure of vaping is the journey, and big part of the journey is the gear along the way. I often think that as I continue to add gear, and it helps me to stay away from analogs, that eventually I will be able to give up vaping, as long as I continue to buy the gear. Anyway, probably won't test that hypothesis, but I think you get my point. Best of luck to you, welcome to ECF and good luck!
