Yes i think i am more of a set and forget type of guy because i don't want to worry about that type of stuff at the moment....also are you for WV? I grew up in Charleston WV and went to GWHS! GOO Herd!!! jk i like WVU!

Nice to converse with a fellow Mountaineer! (grew up in Parkersburg). I lived in Charleston for three years when I was transferred there. (one of my many Aunts and Uncles lived there most of their lives) I like both Marshall and WVU, although I attended neither. Live in GA, now, but miss my home state more and more.

Here are some links to some of the models that have been mentioned, which might help you out:

Innokin iTaste VV ( V3.0) Variable Voltage and Variable Wattage Express Kit

Aspire Vivi Nova-S BDC Glassomizer

Replacement Coil Heads Aspire Bottom Dual Coil (BDC) (5pk)

http://www.fairy-gift.com/vamo-v5-p-62.html (I would recommend the stainless steel model)

Recommend AW batteries: http://www.rtdvapor.com/online-store/batteries/aw-imr-18350-3-7v-55-detail (you will need two sets of (4 total) of 18350's or two 18650's or a combination of the two)

Phiniac Rugged Pyrex Glass Tanks

And here is one of the best reviewers on the internet of vaping products:

yeah right now i have an ego C that has a kanger T clone on it... it's giving me some good vapor but im just in searh of something that gives me more vapor.... in South Korea it is really hard to get some things such as certain batteries and authentic mods because asia has a nack for making clones that can be dangerous! thanks for the information!
I went through the Evo's when I first started to vape. Last year I bought a Zmax. I really liked this, but ended up losing it. Right now I have a couple of iTaste VV's that I really like. They have a good vape and are relatively inexpensive. I am using Protank 2 mini tanks.
One day I'll buy a bigger mod, but I am waiting for the Christmas sales :)
 
yeah i understand that you get what you pay for but that not the can for me over here in South Korea! every thing is like double the price of what it is in america. a good example is that i bought a EGO C and it cost me $159, i also bought a 20ml bottle of juice and it cost me $40. one of my buddies that i met on this site fave me a site for some juice that can make it through customs over here! i need to find a juice supplier that packages the juice discreetly so i don't have to smoke the china made juice! if anyone knows any shops like that inbox me the information please! thanks for this information as well it is going to help me with the choices i have to make!

The four or five APV's that I like are:

1. The iTaste 3.0 (stick battery form factor with full APV features)
2. The iTaste MVP V2 (box mod form factor and comparable to stick battery with very long battery life and USB charging)
3. The Vamo V3 (stainless) or V5 (stainless) - perhaps the best value APV device on the market, but quality control issues make this a crap shoot. I had good luck. Others have not.
4. Sigelei V3/V5 - perhaps the best quality telescoping APV for under $100. Nice form factor and menu system. Great build. Elegant.
5. The iTaste SVD - perhaps the best value in a telescoping APV. Good build quality and reliable.

OR, just jump to the Provari. If you are a serious vaper, there's a good chance you'll end up there someday. I have all the above and three Provari's. Great build quality, reliability, accuracy durability and warranty.
Good luck in your GearQuest! Welcome to the Forum, congrats on quitting the analogs, thank you for the post, power up and vape on!


:laugh:... I was just making my way down the posts from the op and it had to happen right !. Then it kind of snowballed from there. Well someone had to break the ice i suppose.

I think if you send an email to a particular supplier and explain that you need "unmarked" packaging due to the postal service in South Korea, most would have no problem with that. If you are in the service and explain that you are stationed in SK, that also should help with your request.

I just stated using Caterpillar Vapes out of Nebraska. There customer service is top-notch. I personally like their Hangsen eliquid (Smooth Tobacco) but they have a range of many different brands of eliquid and their prices are quite reasonable ($2.99 for 10ml). You might want to send them an email and tell them your situation and that you were referred to them from a fellow ECF member:

Careful now! Keep it in context. I am not recommending the Provari to a newb. However, the newb wants to know about alternative devices, and I need to be thorough. My post speaks for itself. No need to twist this into something else now.

I take it you don't like the Provari?

I am so confused, is there some where I can read up on Mods and other things you guys are talking about? I feel like you guys are speaking a foreign language

Take the list of recommendations and just do a google search. This will bring up a list of vendors that you can check them out on. Additionally, just go to YouTube and search for these devices. Then watch the video and learn about the different gear that is available. Isn't that the way we learn about anything these days? Vaping has its own nomenclature, just like any other hobby. However, a little bit of exploration and all the questions will become clear. Promise! Also, you can always ask the forum to clarify anything that is not clear or that you have a question about. Nice folks here and they are happy to help. All the best!

If you click on the links I provided, you will learn something about each APV (mods) and some accessories. Here is a site with a "glossary" of terms. I have not read the entire site, but just skimmed it and it appears to have much good information for new vapors:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...detovaping.com/2012/06/13/a-z-e-cig-glossary/

I would also watch one of the best review sites on YouTube by our own Phil Busardo. If you click on "video" you will see a list of the many reviews he has done. He does a great job:

Hope this helps.
