2 pc Genuine Joyetech eGo-C Twist 650mAh or 1000mAh batteries
-good batteries but just keep in mind they will only last around 300 full recharges ( maybe that's why most people turn into advanced mods, you can replace just the old battery instead of buying the whole unit).

1 pc Vapeonly 3.5 BCC tank Kit w/3coils
-i own it, its not bad, but it requires replacement cartos, not very pocket friendly.

1 pc Vision Vivi Nova 3.5ml Kit w/3coils
-vivi nova is my favorite clearomizer so far, it gives me great vapor, flavor and throat hit. also you can "rebuild" the wick in coil without spending on replacement heads. I use 32 gauge kanthal a1 wire and 100% organic unbleached cotton cheese cloth to rebuild. saves me money.

1 pc Vision eGo Stardust V3 Clear with 1 Spare Coil
-not a fan really

1 pc Kanger T2 with 1 SR and 1 LR replaceable head
-never used those

1 pc Kanger MT3 Bottom Coil CC Clearomizer
-never used those

1 pc Type-2 eGo Thread Cover
-purely cosmetic, not needed

1 pc USB Rapid Charger
-those are cheap and can be acquired anywhere

1 pc AC Wall Adapter
-same as above

They are asking 94.95 (Canadian), it also includes a carry case and 6x10ml bottle of e-liquid.

wow, that sounds overpriced in my honest opinion, sometimes you can save money by buying items separately.
let me see if i can link you to a better deal.

I don't think so... There's a lot of stuff in that kit. Six 10 ml bottles of juice alone is $20-30...

What's a Canadian dollar nowadays?

it's from canvape.com? if so they sell 0 nic juice only, wich i imagine it would not be suitable for a new vaper.

Yes they sell nic juice.

 

[Julopy]

No they sell nic juice.

nope. it clearly states "This e-liquid does not contain nicotine" look https://www.canvape.com/category-s/1891.htm

Julopy, do not argue with the Canadians.

I've got about 75 converts that buy his juice. It's "hidden".

I don't know where to go for Canada, however for a newb I would stay away from many of those "over the counter" e-cigs. They have a low mAh rating and low voltage also (for many of them). As a former Heavy smoker, I did really well with the original KGO (it is an EGO clone) and it lasted me about 8 to 9 hours of vaping before the battery needed recharging. The only drawback with that one is that it is a fixed volt (3.7v). If you get the KGO VV v2, you can adjust the volts to the juice and other parts (atty, atty with cart, or carto). The Spinner VV is really good also but the volt range on the KGO is a little better in my opinion.

I would use a clearomizer like the skinny nova on that one, I didn't like using the regular ego/510 cartomizers much. If you get a lower mAh rated battery, you may want to invest in 2 batteries. Some of the EGO units come in a startup, typically 2 batteries, 1 cone (to help with airflow or something), an atty and some carts, along with a charger. Some do not come with the atty and carts but come with cartos. The carts or cartos are generally prefilled with different strength (nicotine) tobacco flavored e-juice. Some kits do come with carry case and maybe even some juice in a 10ml bottle(s). Just depends on the vendor and which unit.

I also had the same problem with many of the over the counter e-cigs: not enough flavor, no vapor, too heavy on the draw. Before getting anything fancy like clearomizers, rebuildable attys, or anything else..just start with a good basic carto (easier to fill, refill and much cheaper). Many a basic atty and learn to drip (to taste the different juices before committing to it by filling a carto). Some vendors will also allow you to try a unit and even taste some of the different juices they carry (if not, there are other people who may be willing also). This way, you don't have a huge investment and can try before you buy on some items so you can invest in what you think you like.

Perhaps you will choose to get a MOD type of unit that takes smaller replaceable batteries (batteries kinda like your AA, AAA, C, D type batteries though not exactly that type). This way, when the battery needs to be replaced they are cheaper. That can be later down the "road" when you are ready and maybe even looked at some first hand and the price for it.

Good luck.

My husband and I are heavy smokers and have purchased zerotar e cigarettes in the past, however they are very difficult to
draw and do not produce that much vapor, can anyone suggest an e cigarette that produces a lot of vapor, we do not mind if there is a bit of a learning curve and would like one that does not require recharging constantly. Also we live in Canada, so it must be available in Canada. Thanks

One of the things I learned early here is that 100 mAh is about one hour of average vaping. You don't have to understand what mAh is but just have that "rule of thumb" in mind. It's basically a measure of the power of a battery. So I have 280 mAh batteries for my Joye and that comes out to be about 2 hours 45 minutes (ish) of use before recharging. The bigger the number, the longer the battery lasts (also, the longer it takes to charge of course).

Also, if you're at a desk a lot, you can get a "pass through" which allows you to plug into a USB port (a powered one like on the computer or a powered USB hub) and not have to worry about charging. I bought an inexpensive one... this one in fact... to use at home when I can "plug in".

Not sure why that page says "manual battery". There's no battery at all. You can get them with batteries however. So you get both. Portability and plug in. You can also make sure to get a USB wall adapter that works with your system and plug in to the wall. I only run on batteries when I'm out and about. So I don't have to worry much about batteries.

Vapor production seems to have a lot to do with the base liquid. You'll see PG and VG tossed around. They're just the liquids that hold the nicotine and flavoring. VG seems to produce more vapor and I prefer it over PG. Though I use both 100% VG and 50/50 PG/VG (half and half) mix liquids. Some prefer more PG than VG or just PG. It's a matter of taste. You'll have to try yourself and see. But VG seems to do more on the vapor production side. I tried some 80/20 PG/VG (80% PG, 20% VG) and didn't care for it myself.

I heard this place is good for ejuice in canada from a friend of mine who just moved to the USA from Canada.

Yes the VG serves as vapor and the PG has to do with "throat hit" or TH. The TH is the strength the vapor hits the back of the throat. Some heavy smokers who are starting out like a strong TH so a 70/30 or 80/20 (PG/VG) is what they may like. If you do get one of these and the TH is way too strong, you can usually find VG in a pharmacy store and you can dilute it. Ask questions for dilution so that the next time you get juice you can get the proper percentage PG/VG.

I recently bought a Rivo Carto from Liberty Flights that i like very much. The kit comes with two batteries each of which last about six hours. They also provide a rapid charger so you don't have to wait forever for them to recharge. Excellent product and company. And they are on sale this week for $35.

98 cents right now. So pretty much parity...

Great batteries. I love mine and I also like the Vision Spinner. 300 charges is a ballpark figure, my eGos last a long time, especially those higher mAh ones, as I don't charge them daily.

1 pc Vapeonly 3.5 BCC Tank Kit w/3coils
-i own it, its not bad, but it requires replacement cartos, not very pocket friendly.

BCC Tank is carto-less, AFAIK. Only coils need to be replaced.

Yes, they can be rebuilt, if you know what you're doing and are not afraid of electricity, but they not true RBAs. Replacement coils are inexpensive.

1 pc Vision eGo Stardust V3 Clear with 1 Spare Coil
-not a fan really

Ditto. Waste of time and money.

1 pc Kanger T2 with 1 SR and 1 LR replaceable head
-never used those

Similar to T3 but top coil design.

1 pc Kanger MT3 Bottom Coil CC Clearomizer
-never used those

Same as T3 but with metal shell, which makes them heavier and the juice level is harder to see.

1 pc Type-2 eGo Thread Cover
-purely cosmetic, not needed

Politely disagree. The thread cover also helps support the weight and girth of 510 threaded tanks, like the ViVi Nova, thus making the unit more stable.

1 pc USB Rapid Charger
-those are cheap and can be acquired anywhere

I wouldn't buy those anywhere. There are plenty of cheap knockoffs and they are very problematic. Please use the genuine Joyetech fast eGo charger.

1 pc AC Wall Adapter
-same as above

I'd still prefer the Joytech wall wart.

I was a fairly heavy smoker (up to 2 PAD actually but lights) and prefer vapor over throat hit. But I am weird.

 

[Julopy]

I don't mind genuine or not-genuine ego batteries, i own both and i must say other than the joyetech logo, i can't see any difference in performance or quality. same time to charge and discharge.

I like Liberty Flights a lot. They also have a 20% discount for ECF members. Click on the 20% off button, located in the upper left corner, before you start carting your goods, or it may not "take."
