I'm going to have to disagree here, I found an eBay US seller that makes really good juice with natural flavoring and uses a 70/30 VG/pg mix. It's Rare to find that, but they are out there. I would say Don't buy ejuice from any vendor in China.

You mean the "China" where eliquid was first invented. Hangsen and Dekang from China produce around 90% of all eliquid consumed in the world. They make some excellent eliquid.

I'd tell a new person that if they find themselves constantly chain vaping to up their nic strength till they aren't....if your mod becomes like a baby's binky and you cant keep it out of your mouth, its because you're not satisfied, likely as a result of a lack of required nic level to satisfy your cravings....I read and hear about people bragging that they vape stupid amounts like 20, 30 mls of juice a day....if they were vaping at a nic level commensurate with their actual nic addiction level , this wouldn't be happening....If I dropped my nic from 24 to 6 I'd be going through juice like crazy too...

Don't be afraid of screwing up, because you WILL screw up.

And a bonus tip: If, at any point, you think you might possibly want to get into rebuildables...invest in a jeweler's coil-winding jig and some cheap copper wire to learn how to use it with. Once you get comfortable with the motion and know how to hold your hands and the wire, you will churn out perfectly spaced, beautiful, long-lasting coils for whatever setup you end up wanting, every single time.

Don't smoke, that way you won't have to vape. Both are bad for you, regardless of what anyone tells you.

And don't believe the supposed vapers on ECF that equate smoking and vaping as being the same thing as well as condescendingly tell others how they should vape. There are arrogant egoist in every segment of society who believe it is there job to try tell the rest of us how to live.

There is no one "correct" way to vape. Just vape in whatever way works for you.

get a baditude ultimate starter kit. (i have it on good faith there's one in the classifieds right now. hint, hint... :laugh:)

then, if you desire more, learn and learn until you think nothing can go wrong. then study and study until you think everything IS going to go wrong no matter what you do. then prepare for everything that can possibly go wrong.

Give yourself flexibility with your first hardware purchase -- cig-a-likes are very limited as to the flavors you can use. Get a good basic battery (like a VV-V3 or MVP2.0, or even a non-adjustable EVOD) that can handle a variety of tanks and a variety of liquids. That will give you room to experiment to find the flavors and nicotine strengths and PG/VG mixtures you may find that you like.

If you're a cigarette smoker, do yourself a favor and try unflavored E-Juice in a 50/50 mix before you go off chasing flavors all over the interwebz.

You just may find out it suits your needs and will both eliminate @90% of your lifetime vaping expenses and a lot of grief trying to "find the right juice".
