Intro and Seeking Help

[wllfthn]

Baditude -

A couple of the links that are in your suggested kit are showing that they are outdated and cannot be ordered. Know of any other reputable places to pick this stuff up. I culprits were the mini vivi novas as well as a wall charging unit.

Your help is much appreciated my friend!

Everything that I listed is all that you will need.

Two batteries: One to use while the other is charging, and you always need at least one backup to a primary battery.

Two to four delivery devices: Whether cartomizers like the T3 or a couple of vivi nova clearotanks.

Charger: At least one.

Wall unit: Optional. Handy to have to charge batteries if not near a computer's USB port.

juice: Figure on 3-5 ml consumed daily.

That's it. Enjoy! :

The juice delivery devices and additional juice is all that you will need to order more of from time to time. The T3 and mini vivi nova tank both have replaceable "heads" that can be ordered as you need them. You can find demo videos on YouTube on how to replace them.

I think you and I had the same idea, just with different links lmao!

I'd definitely get a wall charger too USB Wall charger/adaptor I've heard horror stories of people frying the USB ports on their computer by charging their batts through them, so I use wall chargers exclusively...

I would rather order all from the same source. Will be searching online tonight to see where I can order everything I need all in one big order. Any suggestions on reputable sites to do so?

Thanks for all the help guys. Can't wait to get this stuff now!

As far as hardware goes, all the links I put up are from the same place... The e-liquid was from a different place, but vapor alley does sell liquid too, I just don't know if its any good or not... I get all my hardware from Smokeless Image right now, but get my juices from VapeDudes and HeathersHeavenlyVapes...

I totally understand trying to order from one site. The problem you may run into is a particular device is out of stock or isn't carried at all.

I tried to create my original startup setup that I linked to a month or so ago. I tried to find a single reputable vendor, but some did not carry the most up to date devices or used knockoff brands that might have inferior performance or durability issues.

My preferred gear vendors include Altsmoke, Discount Vapors, My Vapor Store, and Mad Vapes. I'm sure there are others.

Juices I get primarily from Virgin Vapors, Dripeez, and Vaperite.

I would suggest checking out this kit (black is sold out but stainless is in stock): eGo-C w/ CE5 eGo Clearomizer Starter Kit

2x Joyetech eGo-C 1000mAh Batteries
2x CE5 eGo Clearomizers - 1.8 ohm
5x CE5 replacement heads - 1.8 ohm
1x USB Wire Charger
1x A/C to USB Coverter

This store also sells juice. The only sampler pack they have is tobacco flavors (Tobacco Sampler Pack 6ml 18mg), but you can also buy one 6ml sample bottle per order for $1.95 6ml Sample E-Liquid

I've ordered from them and shipping was quick and well packed.

Similarly, my local brick&mortar store has a starter kit (650mah battery, charger, CE4) for $13. Add on juice ($5 for 10ml, which should last a week or so), a second battery and another head (for different flavors, if nothing else) and you are good to go.

Wish I'd found that before I spent $150 on joye 510 cig-a-like gear You can test the waters for $20 or get a nice solid starter setup for under $50. (They don't do 5ml sampler packs unfortunately.)

Edit to add: I ordered juice and parts from MFS (recommended by akatina above) and they were good. Fast shipping, exactly what I ordered. I wish they would do more than 1 sample per order, since I'm now sitting on 20ml of juices I dislike and only 5ml of the one I love, but..

Hello again!

Just wanted to thank everyone for all the help and guidance. I'm about to make an order and wanted to list everything here and have some of you experts double check everything. So, here's the list..

x4 - DV Mini Vivi Nova V10 2.0ml - eGo threaded
DV Mini Vivi Nova V10 2.0ml - eGo threaded

x2or3 - eGo-C Twist Battery
AltSmoke.com | Personal Vaporizers | Electronic Cigarette | Ecigs | AltSmoke.com | eGo-C Twist Battery

x1 - eGo Series - USB Battery Charger
AltSmoke.com | Personal Vaporizers | Electronic Cigarette | Ecigs | eGo Series - USB Battery Charger - Chargers - Accessories

As far as juices go, I still have no idea what to get. I will decide on flavors, but what strength is best to start at? I planned on ordering 18mg for the first go around. Also - Can someone point me in the direction of some good samplers.

I also stumbled on to this in one of the threads last night. What's the story?

ProVari Variable Voltage Ecig: Best Variable Voltage E Cig Available!

Could this be the one stop solution to my search for a stop smoking aide?

Many people will tell you yes, however my opinion of the ProVari is that it is very overpriced. Another thing I don't like about the ProVari is that it only has one button, so for 1 feature click 7 times wait a second then click to select then wait a second for it to lock in, then for another feature click 11 times then wait, you see where I'm going here... Starting out, the twist is a great way to go simply because of the fact you get the variable voltage in a small form at a small price. It is simple to use and won't give you any of the frustration the "mod" type devices will considering you're just starting out.
But, if you want to go the "mod" route right off the batt check out The most advanced variable voltage electronic cigarette , they have chargers batts and liquid on their site too (keeping with the 1 vendor idea). Also keep in mind that if you get the Lavatube ProVari or any other "mod", you will want to make sure you get 2 batteries, that way you can use 1 while the other is charging.
Also, look at
AltSmoke.com | Personal Vaporizers | Electronic Cigarette | Ecigs | NicQuid - USA Made E-Liquid - Dripping with flavor
AltSmoke.com | Personal Vaporizers | Electronic Cigarette | Ecigs | eGo-C - USB Wall Adapter - Chargers - Accessories
http://altsmoke.com/accessories/tanks/vision-vivi-tanks/vision-vivi-replacement-coil-tank-kit.html
again keeping with the 1 vendor idea assuming you want to get your twists from altsmoke...

Taking into consideration all that gear is stuff I recommended, it's a perfect setup for you.

As far as juice, that will turn out to be more difficult to make recommendations for you. What I like in flavors, you will likely not like. Preference in flavors is extremely subjective. I will provide you with two of my favorite vendors that offer sampler packs. This is a preferred way to find new flavors so that you don't waste money with larger bottles that you may not like. If you find some winners, just order more in a larger sized bottle.

Organically Flavored E-liquid | Virgin Vapor | Electronic Cigarette Organic e-Liquid | Electronic Cigarettes Their best flavor is the organic kona velvet milkshake.

Vaperite | E Liquid Flavors and Organic E Cigarette Liquid I love coffee flavors, and they make some of the best: kona cream and double espresso. They also have a good reputation for making tobacco flavors, although I've not tried them myself.

Natural & Organic E-liquids - Home page Dripeez No sampler packs yet, but they are quickly becoming a favorite vendor of mine. I've tried their fruit flavors, vanilla, coffee, rum (great mixed with apple), and cinnamon flavors...all excellent and I will be a repeat customer for sure.

Edit: Forgot about the nicotine strength to order. You never stated how heavy of a smoker you are. I smoked a pack of Marlboro Menthol Lights and started with 24mg. That was perfect for me. 18mg might be enough for you, depending upon if you plan on quitting cold turkey or allowing yourself a few cigarettes for the first week or so. If going cold turkey, maybe up to 24mg. Or, if ordering several samplers, get some with 18mg and some with 24mg.

ProVari Variable Voltage Ecig: Best Variable Voltage E Cig Available!

The Provari is expensive, but in my opinion it is worth it's weight in gold. It's not for everyone, and I rarely recommend it to someone new to vaping who may not know if it will work out for them. $165 gets you just the Provari - no batteries, no charger, no delivery devices. That's a lot of money, I agree.

I still recommend the eGo setup first. If that somehow doesn't satisfy you, yet you know that vaping is the answer to keep you off the smokes, then yes go for the Provari. The eGo setup could be all that you need.
