Hello everyone. I've been thinking about switching to e-cigs for a while, and have been using the forum here to help me get an idea of what I should get and what to expect. I've done some research, and I think I have it pretty much figured out. The general consensus is that the eGo-T seems to be the one more currently preferred, so I'm going to give it a try. However the other question I have, which is the best place to buy this product online, seems unclear to me. Many different users seem to prefer different vendors based on their location, and their personal preference. If anyone could give me a couple ideas of reliable, cheap sites that sell quality products, I'd really appreciate it. And yes, I've looked at the Forum Suppliers page, but to be honest it's caused me more confusion than help. Thanks in advance for any of our responses, and I look forward to being a part of the community!

I buy my Joye Products from TheVaporPro. They have terriffic customer support and are ulta-quick shipping. Downside is they only sell genuine Joye products. If you want different tanks or clearomizers, you must shop elsewhere. I just bought some Vivi Nova's from Gotvapes, but that is the first time I have ordered there. Welcome to the forum good hunting.

Thanks, that's good advice. I've heard about TheVaporPro as well. I'm not too concerned about trying different tanks or anything like that, as I'm just getting started. I'm sure after some time and experience, I'll learn more, but for now, this is great! Thank you :)

Any advice from other members would still be welcome.

The eGo-T batteries are good, but you might want to investigate more atomizer options before going with the eGo tank atomizers. The eGo type C is the best of the three. It seems to fix the wicking issues of type A and type B.

I'd investigate cartomizers and tanks before getting into the eGo tank line. Boge and Smoktech cartos are good. The Smoktech DCT dual coil tank is a good one. There are many other options available to you and I'm sure others will chime in.

Yeah, I'm not sure about any potential problems regarding shipping to Turkey either, I hope it's ok. And thanks, I'll check out that negative review forum.

Regarding the ego tanks, I've heard that the Type B was an improvement on the type A. I haven't heard much about the C yet, other than it's the newest one, and therefore I assume that it's probably a further improvement. To be honest, there seems that there are so many different types of tanks/cartos out there and it's a bit confusing for me. At this point I'm content with getting a good starter kit, testing how the experience is, and then modifying my setup from there if I feel I need to.

Ah. Well, it's your choice of course but personally I would NOT go with the eGo T to start. At all. I've not had very good "luck" with them, and even the Joye eGo batteries seem gimpy and not always that reliable. As for the atty-cartridge system...um. No. Tried for months and had nothing but frustration and constant fidddling with them. I would NOT recommend that as a starting point for e-cigs. JMHO mind you. But speaking from my personal experience.

If you want to use the eGo that is fine. Again...up to you. The battery is adequate. But do look into the Boge cartos or a DCT system or something like that. Maybe one of those Stardusts (I've tried...not bad at all!) or Vivi Novas (not tried, but hear good things). Something like that. Good luck!

I've had very good service from Madvapes LLC - E Cigarettes, Electronic Cigarettes, Vaping Supplies , E-Liquid and Electronic Cigarette Shop - Category Listings and especially Electronic Cigarette | E Cigarette | myvaporstore Also good prices. But don't know about their service to Turkey.

Good advice, thanks again. I seem to be having some trouble finding information about the legal status of e-cigs in Turkey. Some sites say it's banned, some sites say there is a suspension, some say it's banned from sales and advertising withing the country, but good to import, others say that it's banned from import. As you can imagine, this question has no become more important to me than finding an appropriate vendor or product. Anybody have some reliable information about this?

The cheapest place I have found is altsmoke. If you register first, you can use coupon code FIRSTORDER for 10% off.

I highly suggest getting the ego twist instead though. The ego t has the lowest voltage of any equal device on the market at 3.3v. In addition, the "t" part is prone to leaking.

For a couple of dollars more, you can get the ego twist, a far superior device. Then get a kanger T2, vivi nova or ce3s.
Altsmoke sells the 650mah twist for $23 and the 1000mah for $26. Then you can use the 10% off coupon. This is the lowest price you will find for a genuine joyetech twist.

Altsmoke also has excellent customer service and very fast shipping

Good advice, I'll take this into consideration. Regarding my previous post, I've actually found some vendors within Turkey that sell e-cigs, so I guess the other information I was reading was a few years old. Whether those Turkish vendors are reputable or not, I have no way to know. Based on how most things in Turkey are, probably not haha. I think it's unlikely anybody here would have more information about them, so I'll investigate on my own.

Thanks again for the advice, keep it coming! :)
