Hey I'm trying to hop on the vape life but I want to make sure I'm getting the real deal.
I want to get a Kamry k100 or a k101 if the 101 is better. (Let me know)
They have kits on eBay for $30. Is this legit? Some of them include an anti fake QR code which is the one I would buy from ebay.
I would post a link but since I'm a new member I can't sadly.

Other than body style not a whole lotta difference between the two. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44GzlwOaXns

The one on the link I gave looks like a good deal, can't beat the price for all you get. I don't see anything inherently wrong with it. I'd just make sure once you'd get it that you make sure the batteries/charger are suitable for what you want to do.

The auction that bacc.vap linked has sold 1,300 of that kit so it's probably decent. My questions about it are it looks like it comes with tank cartos which are "interesting", but can be awesome. Kamry doesn't make batteries, so the batteries are probably re-labled ???FIRE junk. If you get that kit you may need to look for good batteries and EVOD/Protank or something else solid and easy instead of the carto tank setup. It's not a bad start for sure. Just remember that a battery is a battery. The top part is what will give you good smoke. You can use a plain 3.7V eGo with a 1.6 ohm EVOD and get a good vape. You can use a fancy SVD with crummy tank/coils and just be frustrated. Plan to spend as much on the top end, as you do on the bottom. Learn to rebuild coils and you will be very happy.

The K100 is a solid, well built unit ..but
The batteries and chargers they sell suck.
You will end up buying better very soon, so you might as well get them now.
Just buy the K100 alone, with out the rest of the stuff (the kit)
FT also sells the real Protanks

Batteries and chargers, I would get at
IMR 18650 Battery Orbtronic - Panasonic CGR18650CH With Top Button, 2250mAh IMR High Drain Cell-Made in Japan
or
Xtar SP2 - Battery Chargers
Look around the sites for other options on sizes, etc
Nitecore is another good charger

Just don't buy anything the has the word "fire" in the brand name.
 
I ended up getting a Perl White K101. I like the way it looks more. I'll probably end up getting a Sony battery or any other high end brands. Thanks for the heads up, I don't want my leg or face burned lol. A couple questions?
Where would I get a cheap but well built atomizer? I plan on getting on in the future but not too soon.
Where would I find accessories for my K101 like drip tips ect...
I smoke Newports and I will most likely stop but what level of nicotine would you recommend?
What are some nice e juice sites that accept paypal?
Thanks for all your help guys.

First of all, you will have a hard time finding anyplace that sells e-cig supplies inside the US that will use PP
PP has a ban on e-cigs.
Outside of the states is fine.
So, I suggest you get a pre-paid debit card, if you don't have a credit card.
Others have done that to be able to shop in the US, for e-cig equipment or supplies.
Batteries and chargers are OK, as they are not "e-cig" supplies.

Congrat's on your new K101 .. sounds nice.
I use Panasonic batteries. They are very popular among vapers.
The easiest way to get some feedback, is to post a question in the new forum,
such as "What is the best battery and Atomizer for the K101"

Everyone has different opinions, and that will give you lots of choices.
I use the ProTanks and some glass carto tanks from IBTanked and Phiniac.
I like the ProTanks because they are also glass and I don't have to worry about my juice "dissolving" a plastic tank.
Also, I rebuild the coils and wicks, so once I buy it, it doesn't cost me any more.
You will get a ton of responses versa just mine.

Drip tips can be found on any of the sponsoring web sites listed here on the forum.
There are so many web sites, I wouldn't know where to start sending you.

Nic level ... I don't know how heavy of a smoker you are/were, but I would make sure I had at least one at the 24mg level.
But ...16 or 18mg, may work just fine, but when your first quitting, it's handy to have a higher one to grab if you get a craving.
Until you get a little experience with e-cigs, your going to try a lot of flavors, and different nic levels until you find what works best for you.
Also know that it takes longer for the nic to reach your brain with an e-cig compared to a real one.
The nic is absorbed through your mouth, throat, and sinus tissue, not your lungs.
Vapor is "steam", not smoke, and the molecules in steam are to large for you lungs to use.

It would be a good idea for you to buy "sampler" packs of juice.
That way you can try a lot of different flavors for less money.
Other than that, MtBakerVapor is about the cheapest, has a large selection, and is very popular.
They also will give you a free 15ml bottle of juice if you spend over $20.
If you enter the code "vaporfrombaker" you get a discount.
I don't know of any that except PP, so you'll have to find a way around that.
Hang in there.
