New(ish) E-Smoker and need help with order placed

[HappyTimeHarry]

I started using a V2 e-cig about a month ago and like it, but have been doing some research (mostly on this forum) and purchased a eGo-C Twist. It is currently in the mail, and I'm am so excited to get it. I want to make sure I purchased evrything I need in order to start vaping as soon as it arrives. Please let me know if I need anything else. I ordered:

1. eGo-C Twist Battery (650 mAh)
2. Vision eGo Transparent Clearomizer (2.5 - 2.9 Standard Resistance)
3. Charger and Wall Adapter
4. E Juices

It feels like I'm missing something, but I had the hardest time finding info on what all I needed. I want to know if I need to order anything else before it arrives, I want to get started on it as soon as possible. I really appreciate any info you provide. I look forward to posting more on this forum in the future.

Thanks

a second battery for when the first one goes dead and needs recharging, and another clearo, in my experience with those they last from 1 day to a few weeks, get some cartos for backup atleast.

Thanks man, I actually also ordered as second twist (1000mAh) and an eGo Mega Dual Coil Clear Cartomizer. I just want to list the basic setup I got. It gets real confusing when you start talking about atomizesr and cartridges and atomizer heads, I kind of just took a stab at what I needed. I know if will take some practice to get some understanding.

I agree with Jixchel, you've got the basic setup covered but you need spares otherwise you're going to be vapeless when your battery is on the charger, your clearo needs replacing, or when something breaks.

 

[HappyTimeHarry]

I guess that's my next move then is to order some more cartomizers. What would be the minimum I should order and is there a specific vendor you would use?

You might want a drip tip or two if it does not come with one, even if you never plan on dripping. They are just more comfortable.

 

[HappyTimeHarry]

What does a drip tip do and what does it replace?

 

[cskent]

A drip tip is designed to go on an atomizer so you can just drip juice into it without removing anything. They're more convenient for refilling carto's too, and as vonRies said, they're more comfortable.

How many carto's you should get depends on how much you vape, how long it takes to get replacements, what voltage you're running, and other minor details. Personally I don't like to be caught without backups so I keep tons of spares on hand. I'd suggest you see how you like your setup before buying too much at once for now. When you get a setup that does what you want, then order a bunch. I order atomizers and carto's once a year, it saves on shipping and I'll never have to worry about running out. But I've been at this for quite a while and know what works for me.

Thanks, that helps a lot. So I think I should try the atomizer setup too to see what I like it guess. What all will I need for that. Atomizer, heads and cartridges, right? Anything else?

I just noticed you're in Dallas. You've got a local vape shop that might be worth a visit, The Best US E-Liquid Made | DFWvapor.com, The Best US E-Liquid Made!. You might want to stop in there some time.

Most people don't bother with the atomizer/cartridge setup anymore, although it does work for some. I think most of us that use atomizers drip. It's a lot more convenient, and less hassle keeping things consistent. You need a battery, an atomizer and a drip tip, oh..and some juice. All you do is drip a few drops through the hole in the drip tip. It drains down into the atomizer and you vape. Simple. You'll get about 10 to 15 good hits before you need to drip again.

Man, thank you so much for that. That's awesome to know there's a vendor in town, helps out so much.
