Hey All,

Im a straight noob when it comes to E-cigs but looking to learn FAST =D . Im leaning towards a solid APV style based on what I have seen and used but dont really understand the voltages, differences etc. To tell you guys my intended use would be low nicotine, with a lot of different flavors. also no sure about the different medias (glycerines and what not) but would love any help/info!!


thanks!

Below are some blog posts by ECF member Baditude that I highly recommend for someone new to vaping.

1. A Good Starter's Setup for a Beginning Vapor
2. Advancing Up the vaping Ladder with Egos and Mods
3. Proper terminology - Is it a carto, a tank, or what? A Guide to juice Attachments.
4. Something Safe for Cinnamon and Citrus Flavors

Hi and welcome. Just browse around a read. You'll find tons of posts about different types of ecigs. I'd say a variable voltage mod would probably be your best choice. If you are looking at a lower price tag the MVP2 is good. Also the Vamo 5 is another descent mod that isn't high.

Good Luck.

thanks everyone for your help, any info on clones and which ones to avoid ?

Most clones are unregulated devices and require more advanced knowledge and skills which you stated you do not have. I would suggest you start off with a regulated variable voltage or variable voltage/wattage mod.

can you suggest an idiot proof one in the sub 100$ range?

To play around with advanced settings and learn a bit, I recommend either the MVP 2 or the iTaste VVv3. The MVP will run around $40 and the VVv3 will be about $25. Both will allow you to change the voltage or the wattage, check the ohms (resistance) of your coil, check the battery power level, and act as a passthrough (vape while it's charging). The only difference is that the MVP will last you a few days on one charge and the VVv3 is more of the size of an ego battery, or a Sharpie marker. The MVP is a box mod to allow for the larger battery and can act as an external power source to charge your cell phone with in a pinch. I've owned both, and they're both a good value for the money. They were great to learn with. 101vape.com has some great pricing on both.

Oh, and the MVP will come with a tank or "clearomizer". The kit at 101vape.com comes with the iClear 30 I think. It's a top coil tank, with long wicks that bring the juice up to the heating coil. It's also a dual coil, which means that there are two coils that heat the juice, rather then one. It gives great flavor, but it's plastic and many say that the draw is too tight. That's a matter of personal preference though. It also works against gravity, as the juice must travel up to the coil. When it gets low, you may have to tilt it to avoid getting a dry hit. I would recommend that you also buy a bottom coil tank to see which you prefer. I think those are easier to maintain. The Protank or the Mini Protank are great ones. Version 2 of both of those use a single coil which I think are easier to clean and even rebuild if you are ever interested. The later versions are dual coil, and both have versions with airflow control. I think a lot of people like the single coil versions, but with the airflow control bases.

I agree that the MVP2 at $35-$45 is the best piece of equipment for a noob to get started on. It's an amazingly versatile device that the user won't outgrow. For example, I usually vape with mech mods but I always travel with my MVP2 because it is so much more convenient than, say, flying around with batteries and charger.

I'm new to vaping also. Started with an Evod 2 kit but wanted a heavier/hotter vape. I received excellent advice and just got my MVP V2.0 in the mail yesterday and it is everything they said it would be. It's not as big or uncomfortable as I though it would be either. Want a great vape, get an MVP. There's also a MVP Owners Forum on here and they answered my many tedious questions with no condenscendence. Very nice, helpful people in there. Also, it only cost me 38. for the kit, no shipping. Took 3 days.
