Hi. I'm completely new to E-cigs and for the moment I purchased a starter kit from blucigs just to get my feet wet. My wife and I both want to make sure it's something that we'd be interested prior to getting too in depth with dripping and other activities.

Of course, I still read through the forums because I'm always obsessed with gathering any information I can with any new endeavor. That being said, I was hoping someone could take a look at the shopping list I made, assuming that we enjoy it as it seems so many others do.

So far, from cignot, I've accumulated this list.

ECOpure Menthol 15ml, 25mg Nicotine
Joye 510 Aluminum Carry Case x2 cause the pcc's won't fit the big batteries.
Joye 510 Extended Life Battery - Manual Red LED
Joye 510 Extended Life Battery - Manual Purple LED
Joye 510 Blank Cartridges with Pyramid Tea Bag BLACK ONLY. About 15 in total.
Three Joye 510 Spare Atomizers.
We're also planning on purchasing a basic 510 kit with the two complete cigs, and a couple of different chargers for home and the car.

I know from reading the forums everyone says to have a good amount of backups of everything, so I wanted to make sure we had these.

I also had just a couple questions about refilling your own carts. Aside from the juice itself, does anyone have suggestions on where you can purchase the things you'd need to do the refilling? I'm browsing the forums and I'm sure I'll find a how to guide eventually, but thought I'd ask incase I missed it.

Also, one concern is that my wife is highly allergic to almonds. I was just wondering if someone else had a similar allergy and if there's any products we should avoid completely. I haven't seen anything yet, and it may be a stupid question, but I wanted to make sure it's going to be safe for her.

Thanks in advance.

If you're anything like me you and your wife will probably go through 15ml of liquid pretty quick. I'm only 11 days into my e-cig journey and have already consumed approx. 20ml all by myself. From what I've read here that's pretty much in line with what alot of people are vaping.

Good luck! I think you'll like it. And Cignot offers great service and quick shipping.

    Wow. Alright. I'll have to up the amount of the liquid then. Between my wife and I we go through about a pack of Marb Smooths a day. Sometimes a little more.

    Definitely make sure you have plenty of liquid. That is a common mistake at first.
    Good Luck and I wish you BOTH great success.

    There are PCCs out there that can carry and re-charge a mega battery, you might want one of those. As for liquids, many vape around 2-3ml a day, and I'd calculate slightly more in the first week, since you will inevitably waste some.

    If I were you, I'd also consider an eGo instead of a plain 510. Longer battery life is wonderful, they taste even better, and no leaky fingers any more, since anything leaking from the atty will leak into the cone.

    I would suggest more juice too.

    But I would suggest you obtain various juices. Different flavors and different strengths. What you think you will like, you may not and what sounds crazy just might be what you end up vaping the most. Different strengths because finding the right strength is what will kill the cravings.

    Your hardware list seems like a good start.

    Alright, as an update we cancelled the order with blucigs and picked up the janty eGo from dietsmokes. After watching the video with it and reading the reviews we couldn't resist. We got some prefilled carts with the RY4 cause there were no other flavors we were interested in available. We didn't pick up any extra juice, but that's cause we want to try the ry4 first and if we like it we'll order some up right away.

    Only downside is they're out of extra 510 atomizers, but I can pick up extras later.

    Thank you everyone for the help.

    That's crazy, I've been checking all of the sites I found that sold the Janty eGo (including DietSmokes) several times a day for the last few days and all have them have continuously stated that they are out of stock! You just ordered yours from there today?

    Did you use the link that is provided above or did you use some super secretive way to find one at their site? LOL.

    Just an FYI, after I posted my message above I gave dietsmokes one more look before calling it a night. What do you know, they've got them in stock. Ordered myself a kit along with my wife. Should be here by the end of the week!

    Now I've gotta decide whether to keep the 510 starter kit, 2 extra batteries, PCC and PT I just ordered last Friday (and, obviously, hasn't even arrived yet, LOL) when I decided to get back into vaping! I really want to see how I like the standard 510 but I've got a hard time justifying spending that much when chances are good that, because of battery life and ease of not really worrying about the 5V PT, I'll more than likely not be using the regular 510 with much regularity now anyway!

    Im a newb, so don't let my uneducated comment alarm you, but:

    The RY4 (and 555) both taste like almonds..

    Just make sure and double check that..

    My most immediate advice is to double down on the water intake ASAP.. trust me.. :)

    Thank you for the info. I'm gonna shoot Park an email real quick just to make sure there aren't any almonds in it. If there are I hope he can modify my order.
