I will answer your question: literally and in the first person. But first, the overriding piece of advice (a.k.a.
The First Law of vaping)*:
There is no one best e-cig ... for all vapers.
* Actually, that is the
second law of
vaping. The
first law is: Thou shalt not market e-cigs to minors nor make health claims about them.
My
personal answer: The Boge
Leo. I described this in some detail in
my review. However, I don't necessarily recommend it for a first-time vaper. For one thing, the Leo is
not compatible with anything else. For another, the Leo is quite
large: 153mm long by 15mm diameter.
I think that most first time vapers would prefer either the cartomizer-based
Kr8 or a 510-based
Fat Batt (i.e., the eGO). I lay out my reasons and describe them in
this article.
