More batts/attys or more starter kits?

[sheep]

Hi all, been vaping for a few weeks now. Started out with just a basic 510 starter kit and it's really hanging in there. Both attys working fine, one battery seems to be on its way out, but no complaints. I've read all the advice here to have extras on hand so I've started ordering them in.

But one thing I've noticed, unless you're buying attys or batteries in bulk, does it make sense to buy the parts? Or pay $1 more and get a starter kit? I've wound up going the starter kit route, because for that extra dollar I get more carts and an extra charger.

Just wondering if others are going the same route as me. So far I've bought three full starter kits (1 510, 1 M402, 1 M401) and I have another 3 510 starter kits on order (in various states of transit...I want them now darnit!). It just seemed to make the most sense to me to get in those extra chargers and cartridges. Hopefully now I'll be set on the hardware front for a while. Ha not likely as I think there's an eGo in my future

Initially I went the same route, but then once the chargers started to pile up--ended up with one in every room.
Now I just buy parts as I need them. couple atty here, couple batts there. whenever I place an order for something new or liquid--I always tack on a couple batts or atts.

I do like having my back up chargers....

sheep;

Generally, you have the right idea. I have about seven or eight chargers, a bunch of extra cartridges and so on.

My advise is (as you said), buy up a bunch of 510 (no box) kits and gets those extra supplies and equipment that comes with it. I've got seven of those kits--plus extra atomizers.

After you get plently, they you work up a supple of extra juice, poly fill or pyramid tea bag material and so on. Including scissors, magnifying glass, Q-tip cotton swabs and a Plano (organizer box from Amazon.com -- I've got the $19 one) and the list goes on and on.

Where are you getting starter kit for same price as parts? I paid like 60 bucks for my starter kit. I feel like I got ripped

No box starter kit? Can you guys possibly provide some links because this seems like a good route to go....

Cignot carries the $35 no box kits, but I'm in Canada, so I have to pay just a bit more, $60 sounds right to me!

I bought a nice starter kit with a half dozen different types of charges but instead of more starter kits I went to valley vapor, bought 5 atomizers for 35 bucks and the batteries at ten bucks a pop. I got two batteries but you can get a five pack for 45 dollars. Seemed like the way to go. These were 510's.

I did notice that the other day they had huge supply, today, not so much.

Amy get at least one more charger. If the one you have goes out you'll be without anything until you can get another shipped in. I started with 3 in the first 3 weeks.

Love cignot
Cignot your Midwest Electronic Cigarette store.
I've got 2 no-box kits from them so far, as I think it makes more sense as well Sheep. But maybe I'll come round to Kit's way of thinking eventually too
Trying their BASIC flavor juices atm btw, so far so good (tho 26mg is way way too high for me lol).

Im glad this was posted!! You helped me make up my mind. I like the idea of having some extra chargers around too. Thanks

Wire guy, I have two wall chargers, two usb charges and a car plug that I hook the usb cable into and the personal charger, which I am not sold on yet but it does the trick and is a good way to carry around an extra battery/cartridge/atty. I had the passthru and passed it off to my 19 year old who decided he'd rather occassionally vape than continue smoking (thank goodness)

We started with the ultimate kit from zigcigs Shawn sets you up with plenty of chargers in that kit.

Between hubby and I we'll have 7 batteries and 10 attys. The shelf above my desk is now littered with a dozen bottles of various juice and I have a container of used carts that need to be cleaned out. On my list tommorrow is to find a place to put organize all this stuff!

I've been thinking the same thing. I'm still working on my first starter kit from cignot (nobox, $35) and I'll probably go with the nobox PCC kit next. I'm on the road a lot and my car phone charger is mini-USB which is what the PCC uses, I believe. And probably get automatic batteries, since it can be slightly distracting trying to use a button while driving.
