Thanks everyone. I'm currently not vaping. I did for a while. But it was all at the mercy of my husband ^anthony so I don't know much. I've been exploring and would like some recommendations of what to use. Seems like we have some characters among us. Thanks for the laughs lol

Glad you figured it out. This forum is easy once you get used to it.

may want to look at kanger subox kit (will need batteries/ external charger) or innokin disrupter with kanger subtank mini... versatile coil options for either mouth to lung, or direct lung inhale, included rba deck - good starter kit, overall - i tend to recommend this over the istick/ nautilus rigs as it has worked better for friends of mine who were trying to quit...

Here's some starter information for you to read.

What an e-cigarette consists of:

1. Power Source -- Battery or Mod/APV. APV = Advanced Personal Vaporizer
2. Juice Delivery Devise -- often a clearomizer (a tank that uses "stock/factory" coils).
3. Heating element. Often called a coil.
4. Eliquid. Often called Juice.

If you are interested in learning more about e-cigarettes (and all the parts and pieces) below are some blog posts by ECF member @Baditude that I highly recommend for someone new to vaping.

1. A Good Starter's Setup for a Beginning Vapor
2. Advancing Up the Vaping Ladder with Egos and Mods
3. Proper terminology - Is it a carto, a tank, or what? A Guide to Juice Attachments
4. Something Safe for Cinnamon and Citrus Flavors

Here are a few more links from New Members Information <= Link covers many topics. Here are two of them:
1. The Three Main Types of Ecig
2. Vaping Slang and Acronyms

Nicotine

A "general guideline" for nicotine concentration in e-liquid to the number of cigarettes smoked per day. If you are subohming (resistance under 1.0Ω) cut these nicotine levels by at least 50%.

06 mg = 10 cigarettes or less
12 mg = 20 cigarettes
18 mg = 30 cigarettes
24 mg = 40 cigarettes

eLiquid/Juice

PG = Propylene Glycol - the "flavor carrier" of e-liquid. A secondary source of "throat hit", but not as strong as the nicotine concentration. Some people have a sensitivity or even an allergy to PG. It's very thin.

VG = Vegetable Glycerin - the "vapor maker" of e-liquid. Used as a sweeter in many food sources, and also as a skin emollient. It's very thick. Often labeled just "Glycerine"

PG and VG are often used together in different ratios in e-liquid. For example, a 50/50 PG/VG ratio. Some juice vendors offer a range of different ratios as far as PG/VG.

    Lol. I get the red and black one then babe. Lol. He has been trying to get me involved with this forum for a few years. He has also tried to get me to switch over I did for a while but I need to figure out for myself how to do everything. I'm just learning. Lol

    Well, I see you finally got some wisdom and started listening to him :w00t:
    By the way, those Kangertech subbox kits are sweet.

    Yelp that's it. We are restarting. And honestly it's something we HAVE to do. With us smoking spending about 300 a month really just isn't an option. So save money and being able to breath sounds great to me. Just trying to get in the swing of things

    Yeah but I am super happy you guys want off the death sticks for sure! Just take your time and don't feel as though you have to instantly stop smoking... Just ease your way off of the lung spikes and slowly replace it with vaping.
