Hey guys, Im new to vaping (started only a week ago). This is the stuff I went ahead and bought to get me started.

A provari mini variable voltage battery mod (in blue with a blue LED upgrade) and a Zen atty-pro atomizer.

That is impressive! I need to shop more online for some of this stuff. I go through 2 vendors at the moment but I would like to expand and hopefully one day make my own juice!

Ive been a long time hookah smoker so I have tied many different flavors in hookah. I always wanted to be able to make my own flavors but getting tobacco leaf would make it a huge hassle. Since I no longer need shredded tobacco, I will surely dabble making my own flavors. Plus, the $ savings on making your own juice is worth it.
 
Yeah. I spend about $12 a week now on eJuice already manufactured. I assume making it myself will cost a bit for the initial start up of getting the proper supplies, PPE and so on. But from my research, it looks like in the long run, I will save a lot of money.

Cigarettes where I am, the analogs that is, they are $7-$10 a pack. eCigs has already made me save so much that I was overwhelmed on why I had extra money and finally figured it out, haha.

You already have the ultimate setup. :)glare: jealous from all the money I wasted in 10 months to get where you are in one week)

I have the regular size Provari (blue) and use cartotanks. I plan to reward myself with a Mini Provari on my 1 year vapor anniversary in April.

Enjoy your rig. Should you have any questions, someone here will be glad to help. Congrats on the great setup! :toast:

1 week in and you've already spent more than I have in my entire 2 month vaping career. :cry:

Out of curiosity though, how's that RBA treating you as a newb? I haven't gotten to play with one yet.

The reason Ive gone with a more expensive unit is due to my tendency to want to upgrade. I do that with all my hobbies and I notice that I end up getting the cheap stuff, then eventually getting the more expensive ones anyways. This way, I save myself the $ and time and just jumped right into a good unit.

As far as the RBA goes, this is my first one, so I dont have much bearing on how it compares to other units. I did get a chance to try a few different models my friends have and I liked this set up the most. So far, I have not needed to rebuild anything (I have just been using the way it came from the manufacturer). Generally, though, I really like it. I get a good amount of vape, and the tank is just the right size for a pretty descent amount of smoking. One thing I did notice though, is that the genesis is a little juice hog.

Overall, I do like it a lot.

Where did you get the case from? Looks like a really good size for me. Thanks
Sent from my SGH-i667 using Board Express

Interestingly enough, IKEA has a sewing kit for $15. This is the case that the kit comes with. I just went ahead and took out all the stuff from the kit. As an added bonus, you get some safety pins, scissors, and other cool little trinkets that I just put in a small box in case I ever need them.

That is precisely the reason I went ahead and jumped to the more expensive one. I know in the long run that will save me money. Also, in case you werent aware, the current mini's are on clearance because the new model is coming out soon. Might be a good time to jump on one... even if its a little early gift to yourself.

I wasn't trying to disrespect your rig in any way. Clearly a Provari + quality RBA is among the ultimate setups, so if you're serious about it and have the money to spend, why wouldn't you buy them initially? You seem to be an intelligent guy that's done his research, so the technical aspects shouldn't pose a problem.

As for the Indigo bottle I see in your pouch... I'm glad you're feeding your beast the good stuff! :vapor:

I didnt read the post as disrespectful in any way, rather just a question like youve meant it :)

Yea, the indigo was a gift from my friend to hold me over on juice until I place an order

You picked up right-off-the-bat what I've been trying to figure out how to get past my other half, lol. Seriously, awesome looking set-up, you couldn't ask for much better, :)

Luckily for me, my other half smokes hookah with me often, so overall its a savings in the household. She was actually very stoked to try it out.
