So is there a nice mech for $50. Some of those are way above what I can pay.
You could do it like I did it. I bought my Joyetech eGo-c Twist and a couple of cheap carto tanks from local B&M. A friend steered me right, to begin with. Took me to a couple of shops for tasting. Ended up with 3 juices. I spent weeks reading this forum. Didn't even join for several months, but I wore out the search button.
Then I started my non-cigarette savings account. I used to smoke a carton a week or about $53 a week on cigs. It took me almost two weeks to pay off my first investment. Even with buying a couple of juices a week and buying cartos, I was saving money. When I got ahead, I started looking at what my next device would be. It would need to be both 510 and ego threaded. I wanted to try all the various tanks, clearos, atomizers, etc.
I bought a Sigelei Zmax flat top. Worked well, still does. Then as my savings account grew, I tried the various toppers. I ended up with a couple of Phiniac tanks, a couple of IBT tanks, all XL, a Protank 1 & now II, Davide mini glassomizer, a Dbox Puritank, and a RSST.
Well to make a long story short. I now have a Provari 2.5, with extension cap, and a Atmizoo Roller. I never bought anything until money was in the bank. I took a while, but I figure I have what I need to good vaping. I am sure there is other stuff I will buy, but it will be practical, and they will last a while.
To save more funds, I bought 100ft 32 Kanthal wire for about $9, and 100 ft of 3mm silica wick for about $35. Long term investment. I wire my own coils for the Portank, Davide, Puritank, and the RSST. I have already saved the money I would have spent on replacement Kanger Heads. I am also trying to learn DYI juices. So far I suck. Vapable, but that is about it.
Trust me, in the long run, it will pay to save the funds, and then buy a little better product.
