Be careful with 650 mAh batteries. They are underpowered by most vaping standards, while excellent for out and about use. But as primaries, battery life is four to eight hours (YMMV). Generally, the slightly longer batts with 900 - 1300 mAh batts are best as recharging can be such a PITA that you can become frustrated and go back to smoking. I know, I did twice, once in 2009 (cigalikes) and once in 2011 with the 650's. Smoking is tough to beat, and better equipment provides a better experience. Also, while you can start anywhere, it won't take more than a week or two to realize, as thousands of posters have on this website, that they need more, more, more. More battery life, more control (variable voltage), more nicotine, more vapor, etc. For this reason the reasonably priced MVS kit is frequently recommended. Have yet to hear from anyone that got that kit saying it didn't have enough uumpphh to get over the hump. The same cannot be said of the cigalike and smaller battery kits. Read on this forum for 8 hours and you'll see 30 - 50 examples of people upgrading from the underpowered kits. Again, you can start anywhere, but where are you going to be in two to four weeks? That being said, the most important gear is the one that gets you to quit and keeps you off the analogs. I wish you much success in your VapeQuest! Good luck, Power Up and Vape On.
