Introducing myself

[niczgreat]

If money is no issue, then start with a Provari. It's deadballs reliable, you can experiment in the future but when everything else breaks you will always have your Provari. The Protanks are very good too. Get extended cap so you can use a 18650

Vamo and Zmax are hit and miss quality and durability. Provari is Hummer tank of APV.

Don't buy a Kit they come with Cheap batteries and Cheap Chargers. Both are not always safe. Also a cheap charger doesn't charge using algorithms and will shorten the life of the battery. So in the long run you save money with a good charger.

Myself I'm past it all and into
Bogger Box Bottom Feeder combining with a Reomizer 2 RBA and Porous Ceramic Wick, It's an awesome setup but it may be too advanced for you. The custom Bogger Box Standard Bottom Feeder takes too long, but often Marcus has pre-built ones on his site.

For Charger and Batteries best deals are on fasttech, Always use a quality charger, the best is Pila but the NiteCore is well thought of I use a Xtar 6 battery charger myself and recommend personally the xtar series

If you get a Provari you'll need a button top battery.
This Battery is awesome and is safe chemistry

If your rig accepts a Flat Top then the best deal in the universe is

Same battery as orbritronic just not button top.

Be sure to check back in with the final rig you decide on.!

Honorable mention should go to a new unit out called the Samovar. It's Russian but is getting stellar reviews and not distributed in U.S since you are in India it may make no difference to buy from Europe or Russia then to buy from U.S.

Hello and welcome

 

[Katdarling]

Welcome Mavis, kuokchou, budda1114, eichrayray1583!

Happy journeys here on ECF. I'm sure you have many, many questions and yes, we all understand that it seems confusing at first. Just browse the forum and keep reading and asking questions. Fairly soon it will all come together and make complete sense. Take your time in your decisions on what to purchase. There is no right or wrong, and there is no device or vliquid that is THE one for everyone.

What specifically made you have that reaction?

You might also want to watch this video. Phil Busardo has become a household name for most vapers, as he is a top notch reviewer.

He's not rating the latest version of the Provari.
Note he said that it goes 3v to 6v the newer Provari has a 2.9v - 6v this raises doubts to what revision he's using.

The provari Vs 2.5 has a 3.5 Amp limit. The 2.0 had a 2.5 or 3.0 limit. It wasn't capable of doing what he was doing. The latest revision should work fine with the higher amperage.

Hello! New here aswell. From Sweden

 

[Katdarling]

Hello Pirko, and welcome to ECF! What is the vape scene like in Sweden these days?

 

[Pirko]

What do you mean by vape scene? If ecigs are sold here and if people smoke 'em?

 

[Fluid Concepts]

Welcome aboard! I am new here too and have noticed that there are people here from all over the planet! Great to see so many great perspectives all coming together to share ideas and socialize!

 

[Mark Anthony]

Hello and welcome to ECF.... I'm sure you'll find everything you are looking for here.

 

[khurramaftab]

Hello Abishek How are you dude ??

 

[Katdarling]

Pirko, yes, indeed that's what I meant! Just wondered about the community, the popularity, if you get together socially for vape meets, the laws (restrictions)... all that stuff.

Do vapers use the term 'smoke' for vaping there?

 

[Pirko]

Actually I've only met one guy with an ecig. And that was a friend of mine who got me into to ecigs. And in stores all I've found so far is that cigarette looking thing. So im guessing its not that common yet. About our capital Stockholm though I have no idea. But it has to be more familiar then where I live. I have only been vaping since the 17th so i dont know much yet. But im planning to go around the city and ask around in stores to see if I can get tanks and eliquid anywhere. And there is not so much online either. I've come across maybe 4-5 pages that sell. And from where i bought my stuff i realized afterwards that they pretty much only sell copies and not the real stuff. Next payday i will buy myself a pro tank and some quality eliquid from a more professional site. And everyone I've met so far who have seen me smoke hasnt seen any thing like it I believe i converted a few people when i were at the bar And also I havent smoked a real cig since i started vaping. I find myself smoking a lot on it though when im inside in front of the tv lol. Cant even seem to put it down But hey, im loving it so why the heck not. And also my niece have started to hug me more. And im guessing thats a good thing

Welp, I certainly hope that someone who lives outside of the US will pop into this thread and give you some recommendations for online (quality) vendors who ship to Sweden. If no one answers this question, you can always start a new thread here in the new members forum.

Congrats on making the switch to vaping e cigs. You're almost at one week! Isn't it wonderful. Most of us vape a lot more than what we smoked. There is a difference in the transference of nicotine when one is smoking or when one is vaping.

I do know what you mean about people not knowing what it is. Even here, in one of the most populated metropolitan cities in the US (SoCal area), with a vape store on every block, I still run into people asking me what it is I'm doing. Two today in fact!

Happy Vapes and enjoy your adventures here on ECF.
