Is this a good first purchase?

Really the place you buy your gear from rarely has great liquid and vice versa... from my experience anyway..

I know, but why bother with a device that is not eGo-threaded when you're buying eGo-class batteries. Performance-wise, they are all the same. Besides, the tank comes with a 2.6Ω coil, which is too high for my taste, even with vv batteries. I like 2.0-2.2 Ω range.
I get it but, he is coming from cig-a-likes. He will be pleased. Hold off on the ProTank. Just so it doesn't sound like the ProTank wouldn't thread with its 510 threading, it would. Ego batteries have both 510 threading and ego threading.
We do have a knowledgeable newbie here. How far off is a vamo v2? We all know the progression...

Eddie, don't curse me with discussing mods already. I was hoping to get away with this set up for a few months before I go bigger.

Abasm, I'll get hi nicotine juice because I'm coming over from very strong pipe tobacco.

Just to be done with it--no, you do not need a ProVari. :p

There. I said it.

Carry on.

My only suggestion is to get an extra USB charger as one of mine stopped working in less than a month. Luckily, I had an extra one. I also have iPhone and Blackberry wall adapters lying around the house and all I know is that they work with the USB charger cable in fully charging up batteries.

There has been debate whether these adapters provide too much power and can diminish a battery's normal lifecycle quicker. It's nice to know that I have them.

Don't worry, I won't be looking for anything near a ProVari for awhile. If I buy a pricey mod it will be shaped like a pipe to help me when I'm missing my pipes.

If I had a cinnimon flavored liquid it wouldn't be usable in the T3 correct? Maybe I'll just use it to practice dripping.

If it cracks plastic, it doesn't belong in my lungs. :p

But that's a conversation for another day.

Night, folks, and happy vaping!

For juice i would get a variety of samples before investing in a 30ml bottle you may not like. A great site is thevaporroom.net, they have 6ml 5 pack samples for $20 or 3ml 10 pack samples for $25. On top of that every week they have specials on 30ml bottle of juice for $10. My favorite from this company is honeydew melon; french vanilla;sweet cherry;vanilla tobacco.....there selection is around 50 flavors. Good luck with your new vape!

I just looked through that "arctic vapor" site. They say that there located in Fairbanks which is basically where I live (i'm 30 miles out of town). So I'm going to try and figure out where they are and see what they stock before I press the buy button online. I'm guessing that they are located in someones garage or something because Fairbanks isn't very big, and I think I would know if they were a real shop. I sent them an email, and I'll let you know how it goes. They supposedly carry joyetech stuff so I might get lucky.

Took me all of three weeks to upgrade to a vamo and RBAs/RDAs.
Still like my T3s/MT3s on the Vamo while driving, on the go, etc. Use the rebuildables at home.

Prepare for the urge to go bigger and better. =)

I do still use my twists at times, but it has been atleast a week since I had to charge one of them. So that covers how little I use them now.

Here is my current cart contents:

Spinner/twist kit that includes

1300mah Spinner
650mah Ego twist
Kanger T3
Kanger M3
USB charger
Wall adapter

I ordered that same kit from My Vapor Store except I got two spinners (I already had a twist), and EVOD and a T3 - it's all been fantastic. I've since gone back for more EVOD's, which I loved best of the two, and then the Protank - yes, the protank is a little heavy on the spinner but with the cone, it's fine - I don't have any problem with it standing straight. It would probably tip over easier then when I have an Evod on but it's not really an issue.

It is an excellent starting point - my first purchase was what turned out to be a knockoff set that led to a total disaster. This kit is what got me to love vaping. :) I agree about the juice - get some samples to get you started but this part is so much trial and error. My favorite place to order is Mt. Baker Vapor but you need to let it steep a week or two (for most of the juice I get). There are many more variables with the juice, like what pg/vg mix is best for you, what flavors you'll like. So, lots of samples until you know.

Have fun!!

You've probably already placed your order by now but I'll suggest some flavors made by High Caliber available from myvaporstore.com (mvs is where I've gotten 99% of my gear so far, great retailer in my experience)

Killa Vanilla
Vanilla Cocoa Mint
Cinn A Bun

Those three are my staple vapes so far. Still searching for a good fruity one that I like, maybe an apple or peach.

Great kit too btw, I imagine you'll be pleased with that hardware :)

I just started with an almost identical kit! I've been at it for just a few days and I love it all! I think you have made a great choice.

I got mine from myvaporstore.com - if that's where you are ordering from I just want to add that they are fast. I placed a second order soon after getting my first and it was upgraded to priority mail for free (prob just because it fit in the 'flat rate' envelope, but still) and a little bonus bottle of 5ml Killa Vanilla. So I am a fan of that supplier for sure, to second what Statistic said.
