Hi Jezz, If you bought a kit then you will most likely have 2 bats but only 1 atty...I'd get a couple more of those to be sure..& maybe a bottle of juice yes...Did you research the 510?

 

[jezzebell]

Hi whiskey thanks for replying, to be honest i got overwhelmed with all the information on here and someone on another thread recommended the 901 to another newbie! Is the 510 better? i really dont have a preference and im happy to take your recommendation

If you haven't already ordered I would suggest the ego..It is a 510 and alot of people just love it & swear by it...I don't want to sway you but thats a nice unit too.It sells at almost all the suppliers..and I'm thinking for about the same as the mini..maybe a few more dollars.

thank you i'll take a look. The other thing im struggling with is the juice. Ive seen some of the flavours and it's baffling! what do u recommend i start with? i cant image smoking sorry vaping something that tastes like strawberries for example lol

 

[whiskey]

You need to start with small samples Jezz...so you can taste out what you like..NEVER buy big bottle because you may be stuck with something you don't like...Also after you have been into it a little longer check out PIF..it is a place where you can also trade and try out all kinds of juices. Flavors? It really depends on what you like..Tobacos, Fruity There are so many, test out a few..

If you're just starting to vape then more than likely your tastebuds haven't recovered yet so I'd stay away from anything fruity or sweet. I vaped menthol liquid for the first couple of weeks that I vaped, and then noticed that I could taste my food/drinks a lot more than I used to. I decided then to branch out into other flavors. I'm currently vaping TV Tastyfinger and Pina Colada, and they taste PHENOMENAL.

But yeah, if you're just starting out, I'd recommend sticking with tobacco or menthol flavors until your taste buds recover. And definitely get a Riva or eGo. You can't go wrong with the 510 atomizer, and the longer battery life is such a huge plus. It's better to carry two batteries to an 8 hour shift than 4 batteries + charger.

Here's some vendors that I use and can vouch for their great products and service:

Altsmoke:
AltSmoke.com | Personal Vaporizers | Electronic Cigarette | Ecigs | | Main

Cignot:
Cignot your Midwest Electronic Cigarette store.

Tasty Vapor:

If you're a heavy vaper (like me), I'd recommend you grab a couple extra batteries.

Jezzebell,
I'm relatively new at this but have dove in head first regardless. I too started with the 901. Since then I have discovered, as a heavy vaper:
Get extra atomizers. My 901 atty's lasted about two weeks. Whether this is normal or I got too much juice on them I don't know.
Extra Batteries. You can get larger batteries for the 901, the same ones as used on the KR808 make. Starter kit batts are what, 180mA, the long 808 batts are 380mA. Plus they're sexy as hell. I recommend a pair of manually operated ones.
Juice I'm still hashing out, but empty carts and a bottle of juice beats pre-loaded carts in my book, both for cost and taste.
An additional charger or two. It's so disappointing to get caught with your pants down and having to go back to analog ciggies for want of a charged battery.
A good case for all the paraphernalia. I use a big OtterBox, they make smaller ones, but that is a matter of taste and convenience.

I would suggest the ego..It is a 510

I really wish people would stop making this statement, especially to new vapers. It's confusing enough trying to understand all these names and model numbers without making statements that simply aren't true.

Being compatible with 510 attys and cartos does not make a PV a 510. The eGo is not a 510 anymore than The Buzz, The Chuck, or the Silver Bullet are. Just like these mods, the eGo is in a class above the 510 due to its extended battery life and its ability to use either 510 attys or cartos or the eGo attys and cartos.

You got a lot of good advise Jezz, Keep us posted on how it goes..Peace

No worries. Having a bad day at work.

A USB pass-through is also a good thing to have so you can vape using direct power from your computer should your batteries need to charge or what not.
