love what seem to be a nice community here

[rtr720]

hey ppls my names ryan and im just now starting to get into vaping. iv been doing alot on the forums and around the internet and have come to the conclusion that i will probably order the vapor4life ultimate ultimatum starter kit. iv heard alot of good things about them including their juices and customer service.

i have a few questions though to make sure that when i do order i start out on the right track. im about a pack a day smoker and was wondering as far as liquids and empty carts what would start me off right. i was thing of ordering 2 30 ml bottles of juice (still deciding on flavor) to supplement whatever flavor i choose with the kit that comes with 5 cartos. i will probably order an extra pack of 5 blank cartos too.

i was hoping as far as refilling goes i could just keep using those 4 a bit and clean them out by boiling and reusing them till i order some more. i am on somewhat of a budget here.

let me know what u guys think. seems like a good community . its good to be here!!

You might consider checking with Andrew on when these Crystal Clear Vaping will be back in stock. Great for a vaper on a budget. Welcome to ECF!

From the search I did, It looks like that is an automatic battery. If liquid gets into the battery, It could gum up the pressure switch. Most here(myself included) use manual batts for this reason.

I personally don't recommend any battery under 600mah. And for $99 you can get a much better system.

Just my $.02

Check for discount codes for forum vendors. CCV has one. The E-power is a good system. If you go with that, get some resurrector cartomizers. They deliver great long lasting vape.

The V4L kit isn't bad for a mini. All mini's are more than the big battery kits. My mom has one and likes it (she also has a Volt) but mostly uses her ego. Bianca's recommendation is a good one. The Riva ego at Liberty flight (carto package) for $35 is also a great PV. I still use mine daily.

Instead of getting two big bottles of juice, I'd get smaller sampler size bottles from juice vendors. If you don't like the big bottle, you're sort of stuck with it.

Everyone is different. I cannot get my girlfriend to use manual batteries so I got her the V4L kit. They are good, just remember you wont get long battery life out of them, but you can charge one while you're vaping the other.

As far as cartos; blanks are pretty cheap and juice is pretty cheap. I get by on $40 to $50 a month on supplies.

These veteran vapors know their stuff here. Really think you should consider an Ego or Riva, an atty with a drip tip, and some Boge cartos. Half the price, twice the battery life and more compatability with other 510 style components.

What Swedishfish said! I strongly advise against ordering that large a bottle of liquid until you're sure you like it. I don't even want to add up how much I've spent on juices I didn't like. Most of them were 6 mL or less, so I didn't waste too much money on any one flavor. If you go with Vapor4life, they have several sampler packs you can choose from. I'd go with one of those, maybe even order some other samplers besides the one you get with the kit. Then when you know you like a flavor, you can order a big bottle of it.

The boges and resurrector cartomizers were recommended to me as well. My stuff should start to be coming in the mail starting tomorrow (according to the tracking systems).

Wow, an idea my mom had for keys might work for cartos. Front door, deadbolt, back door, spare key to the neighbors might all look like the same key. She would put a stripe of different color nail polish on the keys to key you know which was which. That might be a good idea cartos. Model paint should work as well as it's about the same stuff.... and if you feel it would demean you as a man to buy nail polish at a dollar store (I had a ball when I had to buy pantyhose to keep the baby fish out of the aquarium filter).

CCV (Crystal Clear Vaping) does have a good deal on a 15 pack of cartos and they throw in a drip tip for your order as well. So it's not a bad deal. I'm a n00b too but I looked around after some people offered suggestions and found that for me they were the best bang for the buck.

Big time sampler kits instead of buying a big bottle. Another thread I have been looking at was talking about juice. Juice is very subjective. If you have 5 friends together and want to order a pizza and ask for a fav topping or fav pizza shop you'll get a few different answers.

With the sample packs you usually get small bottles, but if the flavor sucks you haven't been zapped for a lot of money for somethign you don't like. The suggestion from the other thread was after you find a juice/flavor you like order some more sample packs or small sample bottles of different flavors. Once again the small bottle are cheap, you won't waste as much if you don't like it and you're more likely to say "that is either gonna be killer or it's gonna suck". If you're risking only $2-$3 you're willing to try something just for the adventure of it

i would probably go with a manual by the way. someone mentioned that. i hear they give better vapor output . and i will take ur guys advice on trying those smaller bottles in the sampler packs u mentioned. good advice. i dont think i can be swayed much though from v4l. the riva and ego dont look like they would have the same feel a regular cig would and thats kinda what im after. those kinda looked like smokable vibrators imo lol

thanks for all the input guys

on a side note, has anyone ever heard of or used vaporbomb.com juices? are they any good

 

[mlinky]

VaporBomb makes great juices, has wonderful customer service, and ships quickly. I have used Fire n Ice as my all day vape for almost a year. I also like most of their fruit flavors, especially New Peach, New Pineapple, and Green Apple. Also, Arctic Ice and Cinnabomb 2x (which mix well with the fruits).
