New to e-cigs

[incineratorz]

Hey, I'm completly new to e-cigs. I read most of the stickies and I'm still lost.

I want a basic starter kit to test it out. Don't want to pay a fortune on that.

I'm kind of an heavy smoker.

Any suggestions .

thx

I'm from canada btw, don't want problems with the customs holding my order so... yeah thats it.

p.s. some more info from a previous post of mine...................mj

I'm still a relative newbie and when I started researching I was a bit overwhelmed by all the choice out there...so, do you want to quit smoking and save money or do you want a new and possibly expensive hobby...based on what I wanted, which was to get away from the funkarettes(but not nicotine) and save money, I would recommend to you goto Liberty Flights and click the 20%discount button on the top left of page, scroll down to Riva510>>>Riva510Lite Bundle...this kit is 30 bux and you will get 2, 7-8 hour batts and 2 std attys(around 3ohms), a USB charger and a wall adapter for it...you also get some cartridges(carts)...since the carts are more or less a PITA, goto Crystal Clear Vaping and pick up one of their LR carto bundles...I personally like the Resurrectors(1.7ohm/2ml capacity) but any of the bundles on that page will do, included in the bundle will be 2 drip tips a syringe and free shipping...this will get you started with a decent, inexpensive starter kit...you can also shop for liquids at LF or even CCV...

Cartomizers(cartos) are considered disposable and you should get around a week with any of those I linked too...you can clean them and get about another week out of them...after that, their performance will fall off quickly...the batts in that kit should last you a minimum of 6 mos...maybe longer...the drip tips can be used for dripping with the included atomizers(attys) or as a better mouth piece with the cartos...so, with the above you will be good to go for a while...

There are other options, for example, the kGos from Hoosierecigsupply are somewhat longer than a Riva and are 1100mah and will give you another 4+-hrs of usage...the E-Power, available from either of those vendors for around another 20 bux is a similar looking unit with drop in batts, these batts will give about 10-12+-hrs usage and are around 2/3rds cheaper to replace when the time comes...after that comes box mods, some of which are pretty inexpensive such as foxyboxmods.com - Home, tube mods such as the RoughStak from MadVapes ...all of these options are well under 100bux...after that, the sky is the limit for where ya wanna go...the question is...what do you wanna do, quit smoking, save money or take up a new hobby...the choices are yours.........

p.s. all batt times are for pretty much non stop chain vaping...more or less, kinda, sorta...YMMV.............mj

p.s.s. on liquids, this can drive ya crazy...pick up something to start with, based on descriptions or reviews...30ml(1oz)(10bux+- to 30bux) will getcha going for a week orso while you do some more research on whatcha might want...after that first bottle, it is best to buy smaller sample bottles(5-10ml) until you find the flavor or 2r3r4 that trip your trigger. THEN, you can buy larger bottles..........mj

Like r7 said, check the Canada groups first, if you want to avoid Customs. Based on what I've read in the forums, the Riva, eGo and E-Power are the most popular among vapers. Personally, I use the Volt from Smokeless Image. If you're looking for a simple but good PV, this is a great kit to get. Their basic starter kit costs $30. As for the juices, SI also has some good flavors. Also check out Gourmet Vapor and Vapor4Life . . . where you can order samples. Good luck!
