thing is though if you want more vapor your better off with one that looks a bit like a crack pipe lol, I'll explain what ive got and im faily new to this. I got a cigalike (e cig that looks like a cig) what you want and not enough vapour and harsh on the throat like you said, went back to normal cigs. then got a tank one or carto. All this is, is a cartridge that you fill up with e juice, this burns from what i know better giving you a smother hit and more vapour. first got a f1 which i thought was ok, but have sincew got a ego battery. pretty standard e cig batter for £10 ($15) and a evod cartomisor (cartridge/tank/whatever) for £5 ($8) and it is amazing. Loads of vapour and i get 6mg nicotine so not harsh on throat, honestly no normal cigerretes in 3 months even when i have a beer, cigalikes are a bit pants in comparison.

Except that the battery is a generic eGo as opposed to a generic eGo with the Kanger name on it, you can put together a very similar kit to the EVOD one for less:

eGo-T CE4 Duel Starter Kit w/1100mah Batte..

$26.99 Includes:
2x CE4 Atomizer
2x 1100mah Batteries
1x USB Charger
1x Wall Adapter
1x Needle Bottle
1x Carry Case

Unfortunately, they are OOS for EVODs, but they don't carry juice anyway, so on to ECBlend (Discount Vapors doesn't have juice).

Clearomizers at ECBlend

EVOD ($5.99) I'm suggesting 1, since there are 2 clearos in the above kit

5 pack of EVOD heads
$6.25

ECBlend has a standing 20% coupon - "10020" (That brings the ECBlend hardware down to $9.84)

The total so far is $36.83 (plus shipping; shipping on my last order from ECBlend was $3.16, I imagine Venerable isn't much more.)

ECBlend's juice is inexpensive, plus the 20% coupon applies to the entire order. I buy from them all the time.

That would come to roughly $45 with shipping (plus whatever you decide on for juice).

This is the lowest price I can think of without ordering from China. Perhaps someone else can come up with a better deal.

OMG! Eastgate is right down the road from me! Thank you! Yeah, I was afraid I'd be spending too much on trial and error. It's really nice to know there's somewhere I can go and get one-on-one info and real-time experience at the same time! Thanks!

You may not know this but most times, B&M (brick & mortar) stores charge twice as much as what you'd pay online.

Somewhere on the Kanger info, it said something about push 5 times. Right now my hands are okay, it seems to be more my legs, back and shoulders for the MS. Does it mean I have to push 5 times before I can vape?

To turn the device on push the button 5 times and/ or 5 times to turn it off. Prevents accidental firing. After you turn it on you need only press and hold the button for as long as you wish- they generally have a cutoff of about 8 secs.
So basically after you've turned it on (5 clicks) all you need to do is push the button and the vapor will happen.
Many of us like the manual/ button PV as you can "prime" the PV before you actually inhale...helps during those stress full times. Basically it puts us in control of the vape. With a manual battery there's less chance of juice damage to the battery as it's sealed. Automatics "usually" have an opening that can be activated by inhaling.
Seeing as you have a B&M close by it's prolly a good idea to visit them...doesn't mean you have to buy. If you have a PV they'll usually allow you to sample diff juices also.

Thanks! See, so many things I don't understand yet!!! lol I can manage pushing a button once each time I vape. Had me scared there for a bit!!!

LOLLL questions are a good thing and the more you ask/ learn the better the experience will be. I'm very impressed that you are researching and asking questions. Some jump in much too quickly.

I just wanted to thank EVERYONE for helping out this poor noob!!! I ended up going with these options:

This ego kit:
eGo CE4 Duel Starter Kit w/1100mah Batte..

A couple of these for different liquids to try:
CE4 Clearomizer 1.2ml

And one of these with 5 extra coils:
Kanger Mini ProTank II w/ Removable Drip Tip

I went to ECBlends for some samples, got about 7 or 8 of those.

Did I miss anything? I just want enough to get started to see if I can kick the analogs altogether and these sounded like they would do the trick, at least for a few months.

Thanks!!!

Looks like you're gaining on it!

I don't think you're missing anything. However, please be aware that those CE4's are disposable. They work for several weeks with good maintenance and cleaning, but eventually they wear out or the coil pops and they need replacing. They can also tend to hang onto flavors, meaning that even with a thorough cleaning and proper dry burn of the coil, they can still give off hints of the previous flavor. I have a couple of flavors that never, ever let a tank forget that they were there.

The Protank mini is good for forever, but as you've already realized their coil heads are also consumable.

A good price but time will tell as there's no mention of the manufacturer.

CE4 Clearomizer 1.2ml
The first clearomizers released. They are non rebuildable and top coil= warmer vape. You may have to occasionally tilt them horizontally to keep the wicks saturated. Also they're plastic so putting "acidic" juices in them is a no no- melts the tank.

Kanger Mini ProTank II w/ Removable Drip Tip
Bottom coil clearos (cooler vape) rebuildable and made of glass so all juices can be used. Coil/ wick is at bottom of tank so no "tilting" needed.

All in all a good variation of diff gear :thumbs:
Best of Luck.

Since I have no idea what PG/VG ratio or amount of nicotine for the perfect vape, from what you're saying I think I'll use the CE4s for the "tobacco" types I got. Everything was menthol, some with more VG, some with mint, 12 & 24 mg, so I can also get an 18 out of it. I'll save the protank for the exotics! lol

This site and all you guys are AWESOME!!!

Trying to meet that 10 characters quota. Apparently what you write between the quote stuff doesn't count. hehehe!

I kinda thought it might be an off-brand but with 2 of them, one of them is bound to work for at least a little while, plus, it was in budget. :)

Learning something new every single day. Thanks for that info too!

I'm hoping this is my be-all end-all, but you never know. Oh so many options and pretties out there!!! lol
