I'm looking into vaping because it seems like a cheaper alternative to regular cigarettes (also healthier) but it's all getting crazy technical for me. All I want is a way to smoke 16mg e-cigs without needing a degree in chemistry. Here's the thing, I spend $64AUD on smokes a month, what is the best way for me to start vaping without going over that. I live in Australia so order nicotine liquid locally is out for me I have to look overseas.

Side rant: it seems a little stupid of the Australian government to outlaw nicotine liquid when it seems that this is the healthier alternative, when they are so clearly against smoking (with the Rudd government introducing the unhealthy living tax and the countless "DON'T SMOKE OR YOU WILL DIE FROM YOUR FIRST SMOKE!" ads.)

I don't know what's available to you locally (or not) but seeing as how you are spending approx $64US dollars a month, that sounds really low to me. Are/were you a light smoker? How many PAD?

In order to make this work the best, you really need to decide WHAT is more important to you: convienence or savings? It really does make a difference. The easier the setup, the more you will spend, because the more disposable the unit may be. I diy, so my juice costs are very low, but that is best for the more experienced vaper.

Since you are closer to China, you might consider ordering direct from one of the companies over there. The juices aren't as good (IMHO) but the hardware can be much cheaper. If you buy in bulk, ultimately you will save money too.

hth!

I don't smoke Tailor Made cigarettes I smoke tobacco and roll my own I buy a pack of 50g tobacco and that generally covers me for the fortnight and that's $32AUD (with papers, filters and a lighter) I honestly don't know how many packs a day I smoke I know that I just bought a 40 pack of tailors and today's the third day I've got 5 left. I've found a starter kit here http://www.ecigswarehouse.com.au/pr...ette?pagesize=40#/product/black-joy-510-kit-4 and the liquid here http://www.esmokeronline.com/shop/36-e-liquid-30-ml/877-30ml-butterscotch-e-liquid have I forgotten anything?

Also convenience isn't a big issue ideally I'd like simple and easy but the main thing is my health. I've gotten to the point where I'm sick of waking up coughing, but I'm too much of a jerk without cigarettes to chill me out.

They would have a better idea of what's available and where to order

My recommendation is something 510 based, preferably Joye brand - 510 (2-3 hour battery life), 510 with mega xl batteries (3-5 hour battery life), or Ego (fatter, 6-8+ hour battery life or longer with mega ego batteries). if you are a heavy smoker, hard dragger or need or want the longer battery charge, skip right to Ego. the fat battery of the go also lets you use harder hitting power hungry low resistance (LR) atomizers or cartomizers.

510 has the most stuff made for it. The most different atomizers and cartomizers.

I'm looking at getting a 510 already (see link above) the XL battery sounds like a good idea because I often am away from a power point most of the day I'd need to possibly buy two just to be sure I'm also thinking of a PCC case. I've checked everywhere local and those links seem like the best options.

Also is there a difference in the mg in vaping compared to analogs when I do buy tailor mades I buy 16mg, does that mean that I should buy 16mg juice?
