Alright so I'm a newbie I have little knowledge I have been reading for a while, 2 weeks, just made an account today because I have decided on the ego c twist (seeing alot of positive reviews for beginners). I was wondering if someone could help me with a setup for the best amount of clouds. Also answers to these questions :

-sites you recommend ( I know about the efc trusted sellers but which do you recommend)
-510 that are not ego threaded (I don't understand what this means)
-How the voltage works (I keep seeing different voltage/resistance I get so confused like atomizer 3.2 but then a cartomizer that's 1.7 I just get confused)
-flavors , which do you recommend
Thanks in advance, also reason I made this thread is because I didn't want to rely purely on other peoples questions and waste my money

510 is 'inside thread' ego is outside thread.. All egos are also 510, not all 510 are egos
Unicorn blood by FuZion vapor is a must try

I missed one question, it's late and a very deep one, I'm sure someone else will answer for you

Enjoy vaping :vapor:

Hello and welcome, the Ego twist is a good place to start, but I wouldn't personally recommend the "C" part (the tankomizer with Changeable atty head). Imo it does'nt wick very well and is generally just to finicky for me to get an acceptably consistent vape. I'd try a Vivi Nova, VN Mini, or a CE4 instead.

1.There are many good sites, I'd say take a look at Discountvapers for your equipment, as far as juices, I've been basically only using a few vendors Backwoods Brew, Nitelitvapor, and Alien Visions. You really just have to try some juices that sound good to you and go from there, what I like you may not.

2. 510 threads are the center threads at the end of the battery and atty/ carto that screw together. Ego batteries also have larger threads outside of the 510 threads, which is what the cone screws onto, which are referred to as Ego threads.

3. Attys/ cartos come with different ohm ratings, generally 1.5oms is considered low. aprox. 2.4 is standard, and 3.0 and above is high. The lower the ohm rating the quicker it will heat up, so lower ratings are generally used with lower voltages. If you get a Twist, I would suggest getting something in the standard range, then you can use the full variable voltage range of the twist to find your sweet spot.

If your kit comes with a Vivi Nova, then it uses it's own type of atomizer head, it is part of the Vivi Nova. Vivi's are nice in that they are easy to clean, and to replace the atomizer head you just buy a new one and screw it in. Typically Vivi's come with three atomizer heads in the kit, 1.8, 2.4, and 2.8 Ohm.

For liquid, taste is really subjective, and you can get a hundred different opinions on a flavor if you ask a hundred people. I recommend starting with the 'standards' - get an RY4, a coffee flavor, a fruit flavor, a tobacco flavor, maybe a menthol flavor. Get smaller bottles like either samplers or 10ml bottles, as you will likely find that some liquids you will hate. Also, different vendors have different flavors even though they may have the same name - RY4 is a good example of this.

Here's a few well known, very popular places to get liquids, hard to go wrong at any of these vendors:

Virgin Vapor - great coffee flavors - get Kona Velvet Milkshake or Kona Koffee Milkshake, these are both highly regarded.
Heather's Heavenly Vapes - I haven't tried too many, all four I got are really good. The flavors I got are 'light', not overpowered in flavoring.
Halo - Tribeca, Torque56 are great 'tobacco' flavors

Make sure you always have a spare of each part just in case something breaks, and remember shipping times when planning your liquid purchases.

Hope this helps,

It sounds like you are asking for suggestions for what juice delivery devices that you can use on your batteries. I made a picture dictionary for new vapors here:

Suggestions for e-liquids are below. Both vendors offer inexpensive sampler packs to try their flavors in the hopes that you find one you like and will order more in a larger bottle:

The vivi novas have replaceable atty heads, is that what you mean, which ones to get? I would suggest 2.4ohms. Does your kit come with more heads then the one installed in the tank? What kind of flavors are you looking for?
Alright the kit i got came 1.8 but i just ordered an extra that is a 2.4
It comes with 5 heads and the extra i just ordered comes with 3

If your kit comes with a Vivi Nova, then it uses it's own type of atomizer head, it is part of the Vivi Nova. Vivi's are nice in that they are easy to clean, and to replace the atomizer head you just buy a new one and screw it in.

Ok thanks helped alot just ordered like 4 fruit types( love the fruits)
Omg thanks so much link helped out alot

All you guys have been so helpful :) I appreciate it
 
There are a few recommendations above for Virgin Vapor and I have to agree. Their e-liquid is top notch and not scary stuff from China or someone's garage.

Halo is also very good. They don't have as many flavors as some, but they are good quality and consistant in flavor. I started vaping with Halo and everything else I've tried (except Virgin Vapor) just tastes really bad. They tasted artificial and muddy.

Check out Mount Baker Vapor...These guys have crazy fast delivery, great customer service and the cheapest prices I've found for freshly made juice. For under eleven bucks for 50ml and some how got it from Washington state to Rhode Island in 2 days. On down side is that they get it to you so fast and fresh you need to let it steep (imo), so its a 'hooray! its here, now go sit in my closet moment.'
