yeah i hear ya on a little over 100, but i get what i was looking for i think.

Im not sure on the length of time most of this stuff lasts yet, but i think for 115 bucks or so , i should get at least 5 weeks out of everything i buy, wouldn't you say?

10 boge 2.0's carts
~50 ml of liquid
and that egot starter kit

buying 50ml of 1 type of juice is a problem on its own. what if you dont like it? what if the vg/pg isnt what you like, what if the nic strength is too high or too low for you. buying 5-10ml bottles of all kinds of different juices will help you narrow down what you like. once you find something you like then you can buy a 30-50ml bottle. buying a 50ml bottle of something you never tried is a risk.

that will give u 1.42 ML to vape a day if you want it to stretch 5 weeks. I personally vape 3-4ml a day.

10 boges will last you a long time and the 2 tanks just keep them well maintained and they will keep going.

You say you smoke 1.5-2 packs a day. Lets say that costs you $10 a day. If you spent 120 and liquids lasted you 12 days you broke even and will start to see some savings once it goes past that.

its a pricey start up but can easily break even and start saving money quickly as long as you stick to what you got.

i took 50ml as if he was going to buy 50ml worth of juice (not all one flavor) but im glad you said that just to be sure

ya i meant 50ml total , not all of one flavor :p

and ya maybe ill buy only 5 boge carts and more liquid to try instead.

In the end I know I will save money if i can stick with it, but 35 bucks a week(analog still cheap here) is a lot easier to swing than 120 bucks all at once ;)

At least you are educating yourself before you purchase. I purchased my first e cig from a mall vendor without any research. $120 later and I wasted the money. I was afraid to purchase online but i found cignot down the street and the guy there helped me out a lot.

So $35 a week means you can spend 140 if it lasts you a month! lol

Oh and do yourself a favor and buy high nic juice. What kind of cigarettes did/do u smoke? I smoked marl reds and I'm using 26mg juice right now.

I did not quit right away. In honesty its only been 5 days since ive been cigarette free. RY4 at 26mg did the trick for me.

I smoke Pall Mall Blues(lights) currently(because they are 31.99 a carton here.

Ya any suggestion on nic level or great blends of juice i should try would be awesome too, thanks!

I will probably order the kit from myvaporstore and the boge cartos from cignot, so either place that sells liquid that you suggest I will definitely try out per your request ;)

also it has a choice of tank atomizers that can come with the kit, would u suggest the LR or standard T-atomizers?

If you are going to order from cignot for the boges I'd suggest you order it all from the same place. Cignot's prices may be a few $'s higher but anything over 59.99 ships for free. Also just for pure convenience with the same kit and the boges ur at $90 from cignot.

My brother in law smoked paul mall blue's. He smoked less then a PAD though so nic levels are going to very. I'd suggest AT LEAST 16mg+ to start. (rather have too much then not enough)

as for flavors... My top 3 from cignot are the RY4, toffee and ontop.

RY4 is a sweeter tobaco flavor that did the trick for me
toffee is well toffee flavor. I love vaping it with a coffee
ontop people will describe it as a cherry cotton candy type flavor.

other flavors ive tried that are good for me are
dew drops which is a mountain dew kind of flavor
energy cow which is a redbull flavor.

As for the SR or LR I would say LR. I finally got my first LR atty's two weeks ago and I love them. better flavor, more vape and harder TH.

That hoosier link on the kGo is a great price. The two batteries cost that and you get the charger and some carts and two cones with it. The 1100 batteries I have I love because they have more kick to them than the true Joy 900.

As long as the battery has the 510 thread you can screw on anything that is for the 510 or the eGo. At $43 that would leave a lot out of your $100 to get some ECHO-E cartomizers, these hold 3ml. I bought two from nwvapors and turned around after trying them out and bought a couple dozen more so I would have enough to share around with family and friends, at $3 each they are the best looking and best working option I have found. I have a DCT also and really like it but I would feel silly vaping that thing in public but then different strokes for different folks. The ECHO-E looks just about like the kGo with the cone but has a flat tip like a cigar.

On the DCT (Dual Coil Tube), next month vendors are supposed to be restocking the Stardust (Madvapes and others). This is like the DCT in function but shaped like the ECHO-E so it has a nice look on the eGo/kGo batteries.

I second the advise on getting a selection of juice. Many vendors offer sample packs which can be good as long as the samples arent too small. Be a bummer to find the perfect vape and run out the next day or three. 10 ml bottles should give you some nice vaping, depending on how much you end up using you might need 100 ml or so for the month. Dont have a clue as to how you feel about flavors but I thought I would just want tobacco so I would have something like the red box I smoked for 45 years. Got over that quick, right now enjoying a nice pipe tobacco tasting mix called Black Magic from ecblends. Also been heavily investing in DiY and have a pretty awesome waffle 18mg nic. Still learning the what to get, ratios to mix and good recipes but this route you can further reduce consumable cost by about 70% but if you think your head is spinning now wait until you start looking into that ;)

Oh one more thing, even if something isnt your perfect vape remember how bad the analogs were and you can still vape it down :)

was just leaning towards the Kgo but see that hoosier is out of them too, I just want to make the best decision I can for my first purchase... People say buy the ego-c and not the T, but everywhere i look they are around 90 bucks for the kit if you want the bigger batts(+ gotta buy carts to try and liquid)

Ahhhh its frustrating!

Bro I'm new to this as well and am definetely overwhelmed ha. A friend is sending me a few things to give me an idea but I'll probably have to get a good solid system in the long run. Let us know what you decide. All the research you've done I'll probably go the same route as yourself and save me the the trouble lol.

Great job, you are well on your way to no more cigs. Dont need the kGo but at that price it is a great way to add a couple more batts and that doesnt hurt at all and with the deal there getting the extra charger and what all else comes with it is real nice.. If you only have two and one dies you will be limping :)

Send me a PM, I see you put vanilla on your order so it looks like you might like something tasty...

Thank you very much for your pm!

Im super excited, i ordered last night from 2 different online stores and the orders have already shipped out this morning!!(Darkcityvapor and myvaporstore) Should receive all my parts from both vendors by Thursday. I'm super stoked, to say the least.

This is the first forum I have ever signed up for where the members actually treat you like you belong from the first day, so I want to thank you ALL for that, especially the ones that have helped me, I really appreciate you!
