Initial Hardware Research

[Vapo_Dave]

Excellent site seemingly packed with info! Wow overwhelming!
Future user here. Just researching hardware now. Leaning toward a joyetech C type EGO prefer the 510 size but I think I can live with the EGO given the battery should last the day?
Kit I’m looking at comes with the Type A atomizer so to start I’ll likely use small Type A cartridges for experimenting with flavors.

What else should I pick up to start? Worried I’ll run out so looking for about a month supply o-stuff. I’ll source it all locally.
Was originally going to order online but it may be bifacial to see them in person visiting one of my local stores.

Thanks in advance for any and all help! Dave

Welcom Dave !
I really like my eGo-c starter kit. It gives you two complete Vape units, is easy to fill-carry and use day to day.
Only suggestion is to get the kit with 1000 mah or 1100 mah (Twist) batteries as the 650mah batteries in the kit I bought were a little small if you vape a lot (like I did/do)! The 650s last four to six hours- haven't drained the 1100s in a day yet.
I think the eGo-c is only B type now...could be mistaken though.
Also might pick up some extra atomizers...though i'm still using the same ones I started with six weeks ago.

Then- your all set when you get nice selection of ejuice...get a few different flavors- see what you like.

Glad to have you vaping !

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO PURCHASE

2 Batteries, 1 Charger, and a USB/Wall Adaptor


Vision eGo Spinner (easier to read settings, easier to use voltage dial) or Joyetech eGo Twist variable voltage batteries.


Appropriate charger and possibly a USB/wall unit to provide the option to charge away from a computer port.

Juice Delivery Devices:


A (5) pack of single coil cartomizers at 2.5-3.0 ohm resistance. You'll also need at least one drip tip (mouth piece) to put on the end of these.



A couple of clearomizers (Vision or Kanger T3) to try.




A Vision Mini Vivi Nova tank to try.

Juice, or e-liquid:

For e-liquid, a typical 1 pack-per-day smoker likely will need 18-24 mg nicotine.

Figure on consuming 3-5 ml of liquid daily.

this is a great post, just thought i'd suggest maybe adding some sort of dripping atomizer to test flavors. other than that very helpful

I started with 1000mah ego twists and they worked great! There are also Vision Spinners that are 1300mah. They are nice because you can vary the voltage output and really dial in your vape. Also, Mount Baker Vapor is super cheap and they ship everywhere for e-juice. They sell starter kits as well, I think. Good luck!

So much info! I just got through darkhoods post for newbies! Thanks man!

Trouble is every new product I read about it takes me hours to get back here since I ping between videos, manufactures pages and resellers to look at pricing.
Thanks for all the posts. I’ll get through the info in everyone of them tonight.

I have given myself till Friday to pick the products to run with. Trouble is I’m a gear junky and regular GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) over bigger and better like I do with guitars, motorcycles etc…

So I’d like to buy in far enough up the food chain to avoid owning every product out there!
Thank again lads!

PS. Looks like the spinners are where it’s at as we can customize the vape as several have said here. Thanks for turning me on to that!

Another question guys. Is there any smell to the vapor at all?
Does your breath still smell like ..... after use like smokes? I’m guessing not near as bad but is it noticeable at all?
Thanks again! Dave

Hi Dave !
No 'bacco' breath, no yellow fingers, no burned clothes, car, couch, no ash...none !
Vapor does not smell bad, very little scent.
My wife- who has a great nose has told me the vapor smelled like 'grape'...
I was Vaping grape !
