New to e cigs and looking for suggestions

This is a Ego look alike that's available in a starter kit. This model/brand is frequently recommended and a member found it for a good price today. It's a little larger than a cigarette, more like a cigar. It comes with a larger battery, 1100 mah and choice of cartos (Boge 2.0 carto is a good choice to begin with). Add a drip tip and eliquids and you should be good to go.

those are all great starter kits but im sure you'll soon want to step your game up to something with a little more umph.

For wanting to stick with a slim battery I have 4 of the longer 280mah 510 manual batteries and two of the PCC cases PCC charging case for XL 280 mAh batteries featrued at NicFitNation.com - Canadian supplier of e-cig kits, parts, accessories, and e-liquids - Spare Parts for 510 e-cig the cases can hold two of the batteries , one in the charger slot and has a slot for a boge or Kanger cartomizer with a drip tip on it in the case . Each of the batteries can last 2 to 3 hours depending on use and with the PCC case even if you use all 4 batteries by putting the first one or two into the charging slot after they have run down you have use of them by the time you have use up the 4 you started with . The case can charge the batteries about 3 times before the case needs charging .

If you are mainly using your slim batteries at home then you can buy a 10 battery charger such as the one sold at HappyVapor up here in canada and you will always have a charged battery and a few you can grab and take with you if needed . A 5 battery charger would do if there was such a thing and for a couple the 10 battery charger would work for the both of you .

I just looked up that 10 batt charger. I see it says it charges 510's, so would this work with a volt? I know newb question, and im just looking ahead at accessories right now. This stuff is really got a hold of me the last couple days. And thanks to every one who has posted, i apperciate all the answers and input.

So if I was the OP, the advice I have read so far, is that if you get a mini model like the Blu or the 808 or the 510, the batteries last 30 - 45 minutes or 2 -3 hours or 8 hours or more. And on a similar thread the other day, a person stated that their mini model 808 provides 2 - 3 days of use on a charge. And I also read in this thread that you should buy some where between 4 and 10 additional batteries and carry a bunch of them with you. I'm not sure why if you can get 8 hours or more on a charge. That should add another $48 - $96 to the cost of the starter kit. I would be scratching my head at this point.

Definitely get a PCC if you get a Volt or similar.

LOL Yeppers I'd be pretty confused also. If anyone is getting that 2-3 hours out of a blu batt (and I use them) I want those batteries.

To answer your question, the 510 charger will NOT charge the volt or any of the 808 batteries.

You get about 1 hour out of 100 mah. The bigger the battery's mah, the longer you can vape without charging.

The standard 510 battery 150mah for the manually battery 180mah for the automatic battery . The difference is for the lose of space for the switch on the manual . The longer 510 battery is 280mah and 320 for the automatic battery . Vape time depends on the user so all times are approximate . The last 510 280mah Pcc kit I bought came with 2ohm Kanger cartomizers which work great but a 3ohm cartomizer would obviously last longer on battery time . On the 280 longer 510 battery with a Kanger cartomizer with moderate vaping I got 2 1/2 hours on a new battery . The PCC case just barely had time to recharge the first battery I used so that is why I have 2 of them . They are not that large they carry two batteries and space for one cartomizer with a drip tip on it . The Pcc for the standard 150mah had only one space for a battery on the charger and 3 spots that where not as deep for an atomizer and two cartridges or cartomizers . None of them where deep enough to Carry a cartomizer with a drip tip on it accept possible one of the spaces if you used a short drip tip . The better deal all round was the PCC for the longer 280mah batteries that could carry two batteries and a cartomizer with drip tip . You would still need to carry a small juice bottle with you to fill it and if carrying two of the Pcc's you would have two cartomizers and 4 280mah batteries but still need the juice bottle I would think to have enough juice for the 4 batteries , 6 battery if you consider that once you have used the 4 batteries at least one of the ones in the PCC is fully charged again and by the time you have use that one the second one will be charged . If you swap the first recharged battery as soon as it is charged with the second battery in the Pcc waiting to be charged then it will have time while you are using the other batteries so in theory you probably would not run out of battery power for a long enough time to get back home and recharge . I have another 510 charger as home as well as the two chargers in the case so really the two pcc cases and a second charger should keep you from being in a situation where you don't have any charged batteries you can be using .

WOW, that's a lot of stuff just to vape.

I have one PV and charge it every night and I get between 15 to 21 hours on one charge depending on the the type of carto I use. Never need to carry extra batteries or PCC's, etc. And with what batteries cost, I would hate to have to buy 6 or more of them.

But if a 510 or 808 gets 8 hours to a day or two on a charge, I don't know why anyone would need all that stuff, anyway.
