New Member - Starter Kit Advice

[sailorman]

Good point! I am on the computer all day long, and the USB charger would definitely be useful. The 510-T kit includes the USB charger, while the 510 does not.

You can get a USB 510 charger for about $3.50.
If you get a 510, might as well save yourself some postage and get a 3rd or 4th battery as well.
And DO NOT use a low resistance cartomizer or atomizer on these little batteries. You need at least a 450mah, and preferably a 650mah battery or it will be killed by a LR atty or carto.

For the record, I triple ditto the kGo or e-Power advice. But go ahead and do the 510 thing. You're entitled to make the same newb mistake most all of us did, including me.

If I must choose between 510 and 510T, I will pick 510. tank-attomizer setups don't last long, you will find leaking problems after a while (when residue built up on the coil). In the end you'll get some new atty or trying some cartos. Just get 510 and get yourself some boge cartos (i prefer Boge LR - WARNING: LR Carto and Atty are NOT RECOMMENDED to use with small batteries such as 510 & 510T batteries). They will cost you about $45-55 with some cartos. If you'll willing to spend about $10 more, do yourself a favor, skip 510 and get yourself kgo kit. 510 standard batteries are 180/220 mAh, will last you about 2-4 hours between charges. Kgo batteries are 1100 mAh, will last you 11-15 hours between charges. Flavor and throat-hit are much much better with Kgo, IMHO.

Please people, especially veterans, don't recommend LR cartos to a guy getting a 510!! He needs 450mah at the very least. He'll be frying 180-220mah batteries left and right with a LR carto. Heck, they're going to be dying fast enough. No sense in making it worse.

Speaking of cost, Sweet-Vapes.com has a kGo kit with 5 cartos for $42 shipped. Same price for an e-Power. Both of these cost less than a 510 by the time you get the extra battery you'll need and the other small accessories you're going to want.

Look into clearomizers. Much better than tanksomizers IMO.

Hey Griff. Gotvapes has a 450mah 510 kit. Not as wimpy as the 180mah and not as bulky as the ego /kgo. It's kinda right in the middle there. Not a bad unit for new peeps wanting a real "cig" looking device GotVapes Vision VOLT Karma - 450mah Fat 510 Stick Style - CHROME [gv-VOLTKarmaKit-Chrome] - $42.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more Vape On !

Sorry, forgot to mention the warning though. Personally I used them all the time with my 510-T automatics, shortened the batteries life, but haven't got any problem yet.

For the cost alone, and the because they are just really good set-ups, I am going to recommend the KGO system.
You can get them for $43 from Dark City Vapor, or Hoosiers. These are 1100mAh batteries. They will last you a LOT longer than any regular, or extended 510 battery out there. They also have 510 connections which means that you have access to oodles of different tanks, cartos, attys, etc.

Thanks to everyone for the advice. I've decided to go with a standard Joyetech 510 kit to start with. If I decide that vaping is for me, I'll probably move on to a kGo setup.

I agree with the EGO 650 and cartos.It works good and the batterys last longer than the 510.
