if you were to start all over again with $300, what will you get?

[Jae Lee]

let's all cut to the chase.
in the journey of vaping, i'm sure many of you have upgraded, and upgraded, and even downgraded, and then upgraded.
from tanks, batteries, to mechs, to attys, there is lot of things you've learned to this point.

so let's say you are to start fresh now and you have $300, what will you get?

list the whole setup (perhaps even a juice or two) to create a perfect kit for you

 

[klynnn]

I would buy 2 of these and a 6pack of the ce5 clearos or novas and several sampler packs of different juices. Less than 300.00.https://www.fasttech.com/products/1...vivi-voltage-adjustable-e-cigarette-battery-c

 

[patsfan1130]

I would do it the exact same way. REO grand, a couple boxes of 1.7 shorty cartos, couple 18650's. done!

 

[tj99959]

I wouldn't change a thing because I learned from every step along the way. Right now you could probably hand me just about any PV you wanted to, and I could manipulate it to get a satisfying vape.

Right now, the perfect vape happens to be an A7 Mini RDA with a 2 ohm coil at 3.8v with some DiY hazelnut tobacco at 10mg/ml.

 

[Chimney34]

I don't regret the purchases that I've made in this fun filled journey but if I could start all over again I'd go with what I use as my everyday setup now
Provari V2.5
Fuzion vapor (unicorn blood & krankberry) & high desert vapes juice (blue-zazz)
Couple of carto tanks & extra cartos of course (love the glass from IBTanked but also love my poly pro from valley view vapes)

 

[cyberwolf]

Really, any of the devices I have now would be quite satisfactory. The difference between now and my first year of vaping can be illustrated by what I'd skip; M401s, 901s and 510 minis were all great at the time, but pretty poor compared to what's available now.

-One Sigelei Zmax V3 Telescopic flat top. Really nice mainstay VV/VW APV for $74. You always need a back-up for everything you depend upon. Backup PV: One Joyetech eGo-C Twist VV: $23.
-Batteries. Efests are fine with me for the Sigelei. I want enough to charge in batches and some size variety to take full advantage of the Sigelei Telescopic features. 2x18350, 4x18500, 2x18650. $62
-XTAR WP-6II six cell charger. $32
-IBTanked 19mm XL carto tank in glass & stainless steel (complete). $25
-Siam Mods V2 carto punch from Phiniac. $15
-Two 5-packs of Smoktech single coil XL 2.0 ohms cartomizers in stainless steel. $14
-Some juices to try: $40.

Total: $285.

 

[Red_Bird]

$50 on DIY stuff. (nic, pg, vg, flavors, syringes, blunt needle tips, plastic bottles)

A blemished or used Provari V2. 2 batteries, a Nitecore Intellicharger i4 V2

An AGAT2, 2 Kanger Pro Tanks, sheet of #500 mesh, cotton wick, 100 ft of 30 ga kanthal, 2 ft of xc-116 ceramic wick


a $20 mech mod if I got great deals on the above

 

[yzer]

I would recommend DIY juice (which I use) but I recommend good pre-mixed juices for all vaping beginners. DIY is an option to try later if you want.

 

[zapped]

Id buy myself a Provari from the clearance section at Provape and two Phiniac pyrex tanks then spend the rest at RTDVapor on batteries, drip tips and a charger. Whatever I had left over would go for pre-punched Smoktech cartos from Smoktek.com

 

[Blix]

Atmomixani Nemesis $170
iGo-L dripper $15
A couple AW IMR batteries $25
Nitecore charger $30
Silica and kanthal $10
HHV juice for the rest.

That would be the hardest hitting mech mod in production right now, with a cheap but great dripper atty, one amazing setup that looks like this:

 

[Red_Bird]

Nice mod, Blix.

 

[Charlie C]

That's easy....
A Provari and an eGo Twist.

 

[Light Seeker]

I've learned and enjoyed on just about everything I've had, so wouldn't change anything. Sometimes it's not the destination, it's the journey

On second thought, ego-t's, which a vaping friend highly recommended when I started. Waste of time, money, and effort .... Wish I would have ignored her lame advice.

 

[crxess]

In trouble real fast.
I dropped that in my first 2 weeks and have no regrets.

 

[El_tecolote]

I'd get a Provari, a couple RDAs, and be content with coils above 1.5ohms. Also some 30 Kanthal and Ekowool. a little juice and say Amen!

 

[djsvapour]

$300. Excellent. I'd enjoy that.

I would buy *some* of the items I own right now. Evic, mini Lavatube, Spinners, Mini egos (stealth) and lots of clearomisers and juice.

What I wouldn't buy is more controversial. I've bought some terrible hardware.

 

[Baditude]

Regular size Provari with 18650 extension cap- $185.

AGA T2 rba - $30.

IBTanked pyrex cartotank - $30.

Ikenvape 510 Fusion cartomizers, punched - $20.

Slap Yo Moma tank accessory tool - $8.

Pre-rolled SS mesh wicks and SS wire - $10.

Pila battery charger and 2 AW 18650 imr batteries - $80.

Dripeez Golden Apple e-liquid 30 ml bottle - $20.


* sorry, I went over the $300 limit, but the above is my bare minimum.

 

[nartnailuj]

I'd buy a high end mod and atty set up. And just try to keep only one.

 

[Blayd_513]

A Vamo, A Seglei #19, 8 18650 batteries, nightcore charger, 4 AGA T+ for different flavors and lots of juice from various vendors. I have WASTED a ton of money on juice I cannot stand...and thought Id love.
