New member introduction

Hi and welcome. I believe you're mistaken when you say it could be awhile before you contribute. Your first post was a contribution.

I assume it is the same old story nearly everyone else tells.

The salesperson told me to stay away from the ones with removable batteries.... I felt like she believed I might set myself on fire or something. She said something about them being dangerous and muttered about battery safety. I have used rechargeable batteries for years. I have no idea why these would be so much different if I observe limits and RTFM (read the fine manual).

I also just realized that she sold me the .7 ohm replacement coils. I feel pretty stupid now for not looking at them when I bought. I guess I am sub-ohm but didn't know it? Ugh.

That salesperson has no business working in a vape shop.

Welcome aboard

The aspire zelos is a pretty good kit for a starter - battery is decent and if you are enjoying using it - that is the key.

I started on an innokin endura t18, went up to the endura t22 and got thru two months of vaping with those two kits. The t22 is similar to the zelos, just has a bigger tank.

I agree as a beginner its better to have an uncomplicated kit that just works well. After 3 months I got an external battery mod - just means I charge individual batteries instead of the whole mod. Also means I don't have any downtime while a spare battery is charging. I'm now using that with the innokin t22 tank.

I'll let the other more experience members advise you on what to get Good luck with quitting

Well, I suffered through cheap ecigs for literally years on and off. I consider those Blu e-cigs my starter kits.

The T22 are pretty inexpensive online. I might get one just to try it. *UH OH - SHINYITIS???*

I would just buy the Prism tank, it will work with your Zelos.

And the better coils? How does that tank differ from what I have now?

No idea. But I do know it performs well. The battery that comes with the kit does not have adjustable wattage and I am personally not a fan of devices that give me no control. I am a fan of buying reliable budget devices that will let you explore and grow with you so you can find what is going to work for you. After that is the time to spend a little more for better quality.

OK. I have been making a list. It is on the list now.

I have visited/lurked here on and off for several years. I had been using various e-cigs as aptly described in the "stages of vaping" thread(s) here. Most of the subject matter here seemed far too complicated - I just wanted a cigarette substitute. I didn't do too badly, but never completely quit. The e-cigs just were not tasty and served as a poor substitute. I finally went to a vape shop, asked my stupid questions, and left with a Zelos Aspire and some random ejuices. I like it, but I have even more questions. I joined because I have some relevant questions to ask on this forum. I assume it will be a while before I can adequately contribute to the discussions. Glad to be aboard.

Welcome and glad you joined.

Yeah I'd go for the t22 tank and a removable battery mod - I've found the flavour of the 1.5 ohm coils fantastic, plus its a 4ml so you don't need to fill as much.
