Well I just placed my first order(s).

Went with...

1x 650 twist
1x Vivi Nova Mini
3x 2.4 heads
1x charger
1x adapter thing (make tank sit flush on batt)
1x swedish fish e-juice.

I know this is bare min but if I enjoy it as much as I hope I will catch the bug and upgrade soon!

Agh wish I had gotten to this thread sooner, would have told you to get at least two batts!

Don't beat yourself up - not sure it would have done any good:

Absolutely. The Joyetech eGo-C Twist is IMO a no-brainer battery to start with, or to stay with for quite a while. I have a lot of fancy stuff and have been vaping and researching for about a year, on on a lanyard around my neck right now is a 650mah (milliamp hour - the smallest one - there's also a 900 and a 1000 that'll put an eye out it's so long) Twist fitted with a Vivi Nova 3.5ml version 2.5 tank/atomizer.

Shopping list:

Minimum of two Twists
Minimum of two Vivi Novas (so you can vape at least two flavors of juice)
Two chargers (in case one craps out)
Juice, lots.


You're done, and can now enjoy a very good variable voltage vape as you explore the hundreds of other options.

I'd pass on the eGo/kGo VV for now; I wanted to love it, but don't/won't until they get some bugs worked out. The button is a little sketchy, you can't use it as it's charging (even though it has a passthrough connection on the bottom), and you can't charge it as you do with other eGo-class batteries - namely, screw the 510 connection into a "dongle"-type charger.

At least I think the unit in your link is the same as this one reviewed by PBusardo .... A PBusardo Review - KGO VV - Hoosier ECig - YouTube

Yes I know, I know! I have a spending limit this week, an extra 40$ would have put me short lol.

I hear that, brother ... it was really just the second Twist that was the most critical, for obvious reasons .... but if ya ain't got the $$, ya ain't got it, and you've got a lot of company. At least you'll be saving thousands of dollars a year from now on buy not making the tobacco companies any richer than they already are. Please let us know how you enjoy the stuff, and if you can beg, borrow, or make
a spare $22.95 or so for another Twist, just get one on the way ASAP.

Cheers :)

Just wanted to update the ppl that helped me...

Hate the mini nova, tasted like crap... plastic threads stripped and leaked ect. I switched to a kranger t3 and that was good for a week but the constant turning the liquid into sludge was too much for me.

I just got some older boges and an OCD tank.... I LOVE IT! think I found something that works for me.

Also converted the wife to vaper, she is using a twist (my backup) and a kranger t3 atm.

Sorry to hear about the Mini Nova. I encourage you to try the regular-size Vivi Nova if you haven't yet; two days ago, I compared the flavor of the same juice between a stock 3.5ml Nova and a brand-new Boge 3.0 ohm single-coil condom-filled carto, and I could hardly tell any difference besides the draw, which was nicer on the carto. The taste, to me, was the same.
