Easy decision! Buy a Lavatube Mod from Bigvape.com. I costs $74.99 and free shipping. It has the Lavatube, 2 batteries, charger, High Voltage atomizer, and a drip tip. You can drip and adjuct voltages from 3V to 6V and find the voltage you like best with each juice. There is no need to decide which atomizer, which tank, etc. It is easy to work and definitely last for more than a day

Didn't she clearly say she doesn't want a Lavatube or a VV mod at this time???
I don't own a KGO but I heard good things about it. I'm a VV person but if you are not ready for it or can't afford that right now, a KGO should be a good choice.... :)

OH, wow! Thanks for the warm welcome....wasn't expecting that.

So what'dya think about this? http://www.sweet-vapes.com/shop?pag..._color_plus.tpl&product_id=436&category_id=31

It looks so cute. Also, am I reading this right? It comes with low resistance atomizers? Is that what lr means? haha. It says there are 6 empty cartridges. What does that mean exactly? they are just empty and you fill them up with juice? and/or have some filler material? or wicking? oh, god. i'm so lost again.

I need help walking through this. .. is this a good place to start? I'm sorta feeling like this is it. I need cartomizers with this right? oh! (stay with me..i'm very add) soo what does debridged mean? i noticed the ones that come with it aren't..so is that better or worse or just different? and why does it say i need a standard resistance (v.s. l or low? i guess...) vision ego carto with the kgo?

Hey, I like the pic of that KGO! But if I order one, my husband will KILL me, I already have an old Greensmoke and 2 Lavatubes. LOL!

Excellent place to start, yes.

Were me, I'd order some BOGE 2.0 cartos and/or some 1.7 ohm Revive cartos (you want LR, not dual coil) from that same site along with your KGO. I made the mistake when I first ordered a PV of getting a ton of juices, but not enough cartos. I'm not familiar with that vendor or the cartridges they sell with the kit...they have a contact form on the site and if they're responsive, should get back to you promptly.

That's the same SLB KGO as the other two vendors' that were previously recommended. Very good unit. I would suggest you ditch the atomizer/cartridge combination in favor of cartomizers (probably try 1.7, 2.0 and 2.5 ohm and see what seems best to you). I like the KGO with the 2.0 ohm heads, but some prefer the 1.7's for a little warmer vape.

That looks pretty good. You'd probably want to get some cartomizers, right. Looks like that same website has a pink KGO package that comes with cartomizers instead of atomizers, worth a look at that one too. Or just buying that kit and getting the cartos separately would be fine, and then you'd have cartos and atties to play with.

Debridged means (I think) that they don't have a little mesh arch that helps to wick the juice from the cart to the atomizer. Debridged would be more for dripping. Most people don't use the 3 piece cart/atty/battery set up these days. It's not as convenient at other set ups. I've never used a 3 piece myself, so I can't really comment on it one way or the other.

I like the pink KGO. It's cute! I have a pink go-go and I've considered getting my provari powder coated pink.

This is exactly right. Get the atomizer kit. Atomizers cost more than cartomizers and you'll need them anyway. You can buy cartomizers separately. Get Single coil cartomizers. Throw the cartridges in the trash. Use the atomizers for testing juice before you commit a cartomizer to a juice you might not even like.

Boge 2ohm or Smoketech 1.7 ohm cartos are the way to go. Don't even worry about clearomizers or tanks or any of that crap at this point. You want to end up with a couple atomizers, and plenty of cartomizers, and a drip tip or two, and juice.

Debridged atomizers are for dripping. You can use regular atomizers for that too, but the debridged ones are better for it. Don't even bother using the cartridges on the atomizer. Believe me. They are obsolete, primitive and nasty. For the life of me, I can't figure out why they still include them. If I ever owned a vape store, I'd pull them from every kit that came in and replace them with something, anything else.

Oh, and she can debridge the atties herself right? Doesn't that just involve pulling the bridge off? I think it's pretty easy, but not sure about that.v she did say the ones in the kit have the bridge.

Yes, it can be done. There are instructions here and videos on Youtube. It's not difficult but unless you're a dedicated dripper, it's not really worth the trouble. If you're into dripping, there are better atomizers designed for dripping and they don't cost much more than a regular atty. The Ikenvape iO6 and Cannon V2 are both excellent dripping attys at about $9.

That kind of why I was wondering if it was worth it for her to get that kit with those particular atties. I guess you can still drip on them. I'm not a dripper, so it's all kind of over my head. My one venture into dripping did not go well. :)
 
OK. so you (above ^ ) are you suggesting something like this? http://www.sweet-vapes.com/shop?pag...color_plus.tpl&product_id=1033&category_id=31


Ok. It's time I get down to business. No more staring at this bright, hypnotic computer screen until 5 am trying to decide what "perfect" kit to get. I'm gonna go for it. Trial and error, right? I just want a combination of options with this kit to figure out what I like.

Here is my cart so far, at sweet-vapes:

- KGO Pink Atomizer Kit 1100mah (because I want the option to drip directly onto an atomizer
-vison ego SR (this is what the site recommends...but why does the kit come with a LR atomizer?!) cartomizer
-Regular Boge 510 Cartomizers 2.0 ohm
- acrylic wide bottom drip tip (i have a couple others now)


Questions:
-Once again, I don't undertand why it says to use standard resistance with the vision cartos and the kit comes with a low resistance atty.

(hey, hey! i know you lingo now a bit more! hah.and, btw, I'm already annoying the hell outta my boyfriend talking about "analogs" and "cartos" and whatnots ..but I'm totally over doing it now just to get more eyebrow raises and "watdahellutalkinabout?!'s")

-I wrote to them and they replied back already. "Dayna" says "Everything we sell is compatible, all 510 atomizers, 306 atomizers, and all cartomizers (except the boge KR808D).
LR Dual coils do work excellent on the kgo. The 1.5 ohm or 1.25 ohm dual coils are not recommended for batteries less than 450mah. They pull a lot of power, and can kill the battery very fast. We have kits with kgo batteries & 1.5 ohm ego dual coil cartomizers recommended specifically for new vapers." (not sure if I should've "forwarded" that, but whatever..I didn't feel like paraphrasing)

So what else (maybe from another site) should I try this? Dual Coil Cartomizer Tank

I'm about to just say f it and go ahead and order it. I'm about to go crazy smoking nasty buglers while waiting for my cheap, gas station battery to charge every 30 min.

Don't get Dual coil caromizers. Single coil cartomizers will be far better. You really need over 4 volts for a dual coil to work right. I don't know why Danya is telling you this except that dual coils are a fad and a lot of noobs are insisting on them.

For your cartos, clearos, or atty's, you will get the best results with a resistance between 1.7 and 2.5 ohms. with a Single Coil. Standard resistance doesn't have a fixed definition. For the Vision clearos, there are 3 ranges. The middle range is considered "standard", but with attys, that would be considered low because attys go higher in their resistance. A 2.2ohm Vision Clearo might be considered a SR, but a 2.2ohm atty is LR. Vision clearos top out about 2.8ohms or so. Attys top out about 4ohms.

There are tanks just like that specifically designed to fit and work well on eGo/kGos. Go to Kalamazoovaporshop.com and look for "ego DCT tanks". DCT stands for Dual Coil Tank, but don't use dual coil cartos. Use Smoketech 1.7 ohm "Resurrector" cartos instead. The tanks you linked to will work, but you will like the ego tanks better.

oh, jesus! now what juice pv/vg? I have very little idea what all of this means. All I know is I've read a comment that says 70/30 is good. yeah? i want max flavor over everything, but i don't want something to thick...and i certainly don't want to ruin any device i'm using

Don't sweat it. Nothing will ruin anything. 70/30 is fine. Very thick juice, like 100% VG just is harder for certain clearomizers, like the vision, to wick up to the top where the col is, because it's so thick. It also gunks up attys a little faster, but it's not terrible. Most juice makers thin 100% VG juice with something anyway. I spent my first year vaping 100% VG and didn't have a problem. If you find out, like I did, that you can tolerate limited PG content, you might need to experiment some, but don't worry about it at this point.

Go for it.

I'd wait for a short while before going with the tank though. :). Keep it simple, the atty kit and the recommended cartos.

Happy vaping!

+1 on this. Stick to your attys and maybe a couple resistances of cartos. 1.7ohm "resurrectors" and 2ohm Boges would be a good start. Get a pack of each and you'll be set. Tanks can be tricky. The Vision Clearomizer is alright too if you need something that holds a lot.

70/30 or 80/20 PG/VG should be a good juice base. PG is better for carrying the flavor; VG is better for producing vapor. The above combos will work well.

Check out the ECF registered vendors at the bottom of the main forum page. Shop around for some sampler packs to find juices that will work for you. Taste is subjective, so this will be something that you will need to explore.

I just noticed the link. The Vision clearos are 2.5 to 2.9 ohms. That's a pretty big range. I'd go with that and hope the one I got falls on the low side of that range.

Then, get your Boge 2.ohm cartos and a pack of these: http://www.sweet-vapes.com/shop?pag..._color_plus.tpl&product_id=259&category_id=21
They call them Revive, but they're the same as the resurrectors.

Hold off on the tank until you find out how well you like the Vision Clearomizer and which resistance you prefer.

Over the edge...
Throw the cartridges in the trash.

Do not throw the cartridges in the trash. I always have a new cart or two with me, still in the plastic. I've converted several smokers that wanted to try vaping by simply dripping a couple of drops into an atty and putting a brand new cart on, handed it to them and let them try it. Some have been complete strangers.
