New to vaping, just starting out...know my first build...

[Bankai]

Hello, I'm Bankai and I'm new to the board.

I got introduced to vaping a while back and bought a crappy pen from a local shop, didn't like it and it was 30 bucks but it was a self made starter kit so I kept it.

No smoke came out of it and I lost it, I found out local vapor shops suck and it's a high markup.

I have friends who vape and they all use the big boys, I rather go a little below that for now.

I want to start off with a istick 30w and a kangertech sub nano and find out where to buy it at and have it shipped to me, I'm rather do a starter kit, something I don't have to put together but I think it's the best bet.

I went to vaporshark and they tried to get me on a 10w battery and some stick for 57 out the door, didn't do it.

Anyways, I've been smoking for over 25 years and it's time to quit and vape.

The iStick 30 and an Subtank-- I'd suggest the mini over the nano-- is a good place to begin. Another option is the Subox kit, which is a 50 watt Kanger mod bundled with a Subtank. The Kanger part is removeable battery, though, not fixed battery like the iStick. An alternative that is fixed battery would be the Innokin Cool Fire 4. Welcome to the board.

that's not the mini is it?
and the kangertech battery being removable vs non removeable in the istick?

any links you can post?

I would recommend the istick 50w over the 30w. The 30w will work but it's nice to be able to go past that. I vape my .5 coils anywhere between 30-50 watts depending on what I'm looking for at the time, I know guys that run their .5 subtank coils at 20 watts and love it though so it's all about preference.

So what starter kit should I get? I don't really know.

there are more and more box mods coming out that take removeable 18650 batteries but have the option for onboard charging via usb cable.
That makes the fixed battery mods like istick30 and istick50 less of a good deal.

The new vapers have it so good.

When the iStick came out, a removable battery mod was quite a lot more expensive. Anything decent was twice the money, maybe more. I even remember a particular "top rated brand" selling a re-branded Innokin SVD for $189.99 when some of us got them for $70. Even $70 seems a crazy price now.
What does $70 buy now? $50? - I reckon you can get an eVic mini VTC kit for about that price.
