A Blu starter kit

$100 worth of pre filled cartos

$100 worth of lanyards


LOL, really though, I don't even know. I'm still in the ill advised purchase phase of vaping. :vapor:

Oh, you could do so much better than Blu. For that $100 worth of pre-filled Blu carts, you could get a quality clearomizer, a good supply of replacement coils and a load of premium juice.

And for the price of a Blu starter kit, you could get, at the very least, an eGo battery and charger to use with that quality clearomizer.

I think a ton of people here started with the Blu, and it's fine as a proof-of-concept for PVs... but if somebody drops 3 bills on you and says, "Get the best"... get the best. That isn't Blu, IMO.

I was kidding, my man. I use a V4L zeus as my every day device and have a couple of ego twists laying around. I did start with a v2 starter kit though, lol.

I would like many others stick to what I know. ProVari, use or blemished if possible, and an IGO-L. Wire is cheap from industrial supply, and wick (cotton yarn) is dirt cheap so the rest would go to juice.. (hmm, need to start making my own). So since the IGO is only around $16 shipped, the ProVari hopefully around $160, wire and wick < $10, I could get a second IGO, an ego VV, and lots of juice. By in large really what I currently use and carry. Could even splurge on some new RBA's, (have to keep up with my VAD) so that would make me happy. EDIT (forgot about batteries and charger, take that out of my new RBA budget..)

I would have purchased a ProVari Mini, 1 SS standard 22mm IBTanked tank, 1 SS XL 22mm IBTanked tank, 25 ikenvape 510 Fusion cartos, 1 Diver from Atmistique. That's close to $300.00, I think.

I have added to the above, now. However, prior to that, I spent close to the same amount for items on the front end, which I don't use now. However, they have found good and deserving homes.

What a great thread!! Well, being pretty new, and knowing only what I have learned this far, I would ditch the cigalike starter kit with prefilled cartos, keep the 2 spinners and mini nova metal tanks (cuz I just like them!), and add either a vamo or preferably a mini ProVari and a Pro Tank. Ask me again in a month and I'm sure it will change to include rba supplies and diy juice stuff. I will be checking back in here often to get ideas though...really helpful thread! Thanks!:thumbs:

I would probably buy what I currently use: (prices are rough approximations)
eVic - $90
VAMO V2 - $40
K100 Mechanical: $40
2 Protanks: $30
4 EVOD: $24
10 EVOD coils 1.8ohm: $35
4 Pannasonic CGR18650CH: $22
100ml Mt Baker Vapor Liquid: $22
Nitecore i4 v2 charger: $24

Total: $327

A little over the limit, but could probably get deals to get it at or under the limit if I searched for them.
