New guy, researching...

[ejsusmc]

Been on and off analogs for 20+ years.

Tried all the Rx options, ready to just quit quitting. My brother let me sample his itaste a week ago, seems like something I could try.

Slowly sponging all I see/read....

Welcome to the forum. It's a good thing to do your research - there are sure a lot of options available when you want to start vaping and stop smoking.

I was never off, only on, smoking heavily for over 40 years. I am still stunned at how painless this process has been for me. I never thought I could/would quit smoking. And now I have, for over 2 months. Amazing!

I've heard good things about the itaste, but I began with a simple Kanger Evod starter kit, and it did the trick for me. Here's a link to a reliable vendor with free shipping. If you use the code ECF at checkout, you get 10% off, making it about $30. It comes with everything you need to get started except the juice. 2 batteries, 2 tanks, and a charger.

Good luck to you with whatever you choose.

Welcome ejsusmc, take your time with the research. There is a lot to digest!

Any particular questions just ask away. Folks here are friendly and helpful.

 

[Agamer]

Welcome and good luck! Soak it all in and then give it a go you may be surprised about how easy the transition is.

You need a Provari

Welcome. If you are ready to "quit quitting" then I suggest to jump right in and get to vaping. Research is always a good thing but it just takes a small investment to get started. Save all of the research for when it's time to upgrade.

 

[porkchop_express]

Agreed. I hear Lamborghini will even paint it to match your Aventador.

Welcome aboard! You found the right place, for sure. I have an itaste MVP 2.0 and have been very happy with it. I also have 2 ego type batteries, along the lines of what Bugga told you about. I use those for my carry arounds at work, though my MVP goes too, just stays in my purse.

itaste makes something along the lines of an ego, just more squarish, and is pretty cool, just shorter battery life. It's the itaste vv3.

Good luck and happy vaping.

I would start with something cheap to see if it's going to work for you. You might not want to spend a lot of money when you don't know and it might not work for you. You can pick up an eGo Twist for around $30 in most places. Then if you do like it and it's working, you could step up to something more to your liking. Or stay with the eGo, or whatever you start with. I hope it works for you.

Like others suggested get yourself an ego battery. I have 3 egos (one is a twist). I think the biggest thing with me is finding a tank that would work for me. Wish you the best of luck!

I think a basic evod set up is a great intro. No need to think about voltage or watts abd always produces great clouds of vapour

Provari is awful, get a VTR. I keed, I keed!

Seriously though, the EVOD kit is a good place to start while you research and grow into what you want. The good thing is it will continue to serve you when you upgrade to more sophisticated gear. Good luck, and welcome.

Amazing how easy it was for me to quit analogs using the EVODs. Things to think about are:
1: Always carry a backup (even if a disposable e-cig), batteries go dead and attys do fail
2: Your taste buds will change, so will affect your eliquid choices
3. You will still be treated as a smoker by MOST people, so don't push it
4. If you drink alcohol, some flavors are not strong enough to taste: find a strong and save it for those weak times when "the voices" are loudest!

Good luck!

A lot of people have started with an evod kit, myself included, but it won't perform as well as the itaste vv3 even. In fact I've been usin my old Evod all day (on a VV3). Double Evod kits are available from about 30 bucks. Just go for it and upgrade later like the guy said. You won't regret it Just make sure you get a juice you like

this is all you need to begin your journey into vaping...try it for while and then begin to explore the various avenues available... don't impulse buy and you'll be alright...best D <*}}}>{

Thanks for the warm welcomes.

I think I've decided to order a mini ego/EVOD kit. I really wanted something discreet and simple, this seems the way to go.

Now I need juice... Who has or where can I order cheap sample packs or small sample bottles to test flavors? My only experience with vaping was a vanilla/coffee flavor that was amazing. If I could find a juice with even 10% of that flavor I'd be happy.

oh yeah, welcome to the ECF. you've come to the right place.
