You will probably need to get some more cartomizers. I use the kanger from lite cigs. My routine is at the first of the month I order my juice 3 packs of cartomizers and about 5 replacement heads for my kanger t3s.

Once you realize what you like you can just make one order and be set for the month.

I'm a noob, 2 of the 4 kanger heads leaked (trashed em, I'll get into re wicking prolly shortly) so I'm running only 50% on T3 heads, love 'em when they work, but want to ask you, what % of urs work, and the ones that do how long do they last (u can tell me in ml), ty
 
Thanks for the tip. I wasn't sure how long cartomizers really last. I know there are probably a hundred variables that determine this. I ordered the 15 initially, but I only really need to get through about 3 weeks before I can order more. How long does a single cartomizer generally last? Can you simply keep topping them off until they taste burnt?
 
Nice start-up! The only thing I'd do, knowing what I know now, would be to get a second charger or a passthrough (if neither of the two batteries you bought are). My favorite juice is MBV's 555. Enjoy!

Thank you - a passthrough is definitely in my next order. I appreciate your recommendation for another charger; that's a good idea and I will add it to the list. I might even order two more, to keep one at work, one in the car, and one at home.

I'm so glad you like the 555! I'm pretty confident that I will eventually find a flavor I like, but I'm also trying to get a friend to switch. He really likes the flavor of Greensmoke and Southbeach disposables, but at their prices, they aren't sustainable for the long term. If I can find something similar or better, something woodsy with a hint of sweetness and maybe vanilla undertones, that would probably do the trick. I'm hoping that one of the 5 tobacco flavors I ordered will fit the bill.

well the 15 bogue cartridges u can refill each 5-20x (until they start to burn out and taste bad, so when they start to taste slightly burnt stop and refill immediately)...now I think u also got 2 clearos, those are small tanks that are refilled, they have "heads" in them (attomizer and wick combo) that need to be replaced every 3-20 days

Thanks for the info - I'll be sure to add the extra clearo heads to my next order. I didn't realize they burned out so quickly. I'd also like to find a carto tank, but I never could figure out if I could use a single coil cartomizer in a dual coil tank. And I couldn't really find any carto tanks that seemed to work for the EGO. Everyone seems to sell DCT's exclusively now. That Provari is looking pretty tasty...

By the way, Tool.. its a religious experience.

You can use single coil carots in a dct. My first tank was a smoktech pro tank. I still use it 7 months later. I use boge cartos in it. I cut it down so it fits standard size boges (it was too tall). I also flipped it upside down and they fit nice and snug that way. That particular smoktech tank and a groove on the bottom to fit the flanged cartos. I don't use them. The tank fits very loose if used in that configuration but if you turn it so the cut-out is on top it's not as loose. I've never had an ego but I would imagine you want a low res carto.

Yea, I would say you did ok, you did overpay but not by a whole lot. Given the shortages right now I think most of the discount vendors are bone dry on devices so paying a bit more is kinda necessary if you want something now.

That having been said I buy all my Twists from China direct, if your not prone to impulse purchases the wait isn't a biggie. Also check out Vapor Joe's for discounts:

My fav discount vendor is Discount Vapors, Eric has great deals:

DiscountVapers - Your source for savings on electronic cigarettes and accessories, Go-go eGo, vGo

Mt Baker Vapor has the best prices on juice, they are my go to for all my daily vapes! Bannana Gone Nuts, Utterly Nuts, Moo Juice, Blue Moo, Bannana Cream Pie are some of my favs.
 
Thanks Jenny. I just bought my first kit also but I went with a joyetech eRoll but I also picked up a Twist 1000 mah and usb charger for it but I did not have time to research more about what else I needed to use it as I wanted to get away from analogs and could not wait any longer :) I hope you don't mind but I will steal your list and go shopping for them. I figured that I would need something bigger then the eroll as I will be spending more time here in the forum reading and getting help from all the nice people in here.
