New Member. just purchased my first kit...

[gentastic]

Hello everyone at ECF.

Just purchased my first kit (well not really because I had Eversmoke e-cigs previously) but after seeing all my friends with these... upgraded kits, i decided it was time for me to take the plunge.
i went with the Ego twist (1 650 and 1 1000 mAh) and 2 Mini Vivi Novas from Virgin Vapor.
I'm still pretty lost on this whole ohm, volt, clearomizers, cartomizer, etc... but i guess i'll pick it up as i go.

I actually visited some B&M stores nearby, but the 2 i visited did not have what i was looking for.. so i decided i would just buy these and continue using my eversmokes until they arrived... hopefully they won't take too long

can't wait for them to be delivered!

Hey there & welcome! I hope you love your twist! There's tons of info & people here to help if you have questions!

You're off to a good start, just started myself about 6 weeks ago and I went with the twists and the larger Vivi Nova and a t3. Both work well, just got an Evod and that's also working well on the twists. Good luck, now you have to find some juices you like. I spend a ton of time reading the posts and blogs on here, it's helped alot.

Thanks everyone
I was having a hard time finding a vendor with everything in stock (wanted to buy everything together... for the first time at least) and i'm hoping that i don't get an email saying something's out of stock...
I'll post updates once i get the items

You seem like you made a better first choice (or 2nd I guess) than I did going with the Twist. I've seen it's been pretty highly mentioned on this forum so far and seems to be a solid choice for either on the go or at home use. Enjoy your vaping, meatbag!

Welcome to our forum, and a great setup you have.


I have written several articles in my blog dealing with topics such as common juice delivery devices with linked videos to their use, cartomizer setup with video, an ideal starter setup, a review of a popular cartotank and how to choose your first tank, a listing of multiple vendors selling pre-punched cartomizers for tanks, and an editorial about single coil cartomizers vs dual coil carts.

Congrats on the new purchase. There is A LOT of great info here on the forum. and NEVER be afraid to ask questions. I have found that the vaping community is a family and is always willing to help.

Welcome to the forum. At least now your going to have a decent mid-level kit. Do your research and the people here will try and keep you from spending money on junk that doesn't work. And stay away from the mod threads or your credit card will hate you.

So, my OTHER friend (who's also been vaping for quite some time) has recommended that i purchase a cartomizer and a tank as he feels that the vivi nova minis that i have will have to be refilled too often and "tanks and cartomizers are just better." so what's your take on it guys?

 

[gentastic]

i just received confirmation that my order has been shipped.... can't wait!!

Congrats gentastic!! You will love your new ecigs compared to the other stuff. Happy Vaping!!!!

Welcome. Don't worry about not understanding the jargon. I still don't get most of it, but I'm picking it up slowly as I go along. It's a very lengthy learning curve.

I think your friend has his opinion. I like the eGo-W because it has a built in clearomizer. However, ce-4's or ce-5's give alot of vapor. The point is with your ego-c battery, you can get anything to fit on it. Also ohms is resistance on your heating element in what ever vapor device and volts and amps have to do with the power that your battery puts out. As your resistance is lower it takes less amps to heat up the element. You will figure it out quickly. GL

Never seemed like a good idea to have a big hole at the bottom of a tank. But many people like carto-tanks because they keep the atty juicy, where wicks can give an occasional dry hit, if you're not careful.

I am pleased with the mini's, with care the wick-heads can last a month or more. I don't know that cartomizers will last as long.

Welcome and Congrats on your purchase. I too am waiting on goodies on the mail, but at least I have a good set up to use while I wait. I find myself reading a whole lot on this board just picking up information and trying to sift through the Massive volume of advice.
