New To Vaping, Think You Can Help?

[Migriffin]

Hello everyone,

After deciding to call it quits with cigarettes, as my habit progressed to two packs a day. I am making the switch to vaping. I bought a starter e-cig kit from a local tobacco store, but am looking to upgrade to something better quality-wise.

I am looking for any suggestions of starter kits to buy, lets just assume that there is no price range; and anything would work.
Thank you in advance,
-Mike

Congrats on switching and good luck. May want to take a look at the MVP 2, well regarded here and I love mine.

Ego Twist or Vision Spinners with cartomizers are good starters. Simple & no gurgling/leaking with the cartos. I wish I would've started this route when I started vaping.

I started with an Ego a couple years ago, but I thought it was pretty lame.
Went on to a 6 volt mod (discontinued now...) and bought a Vapage Vmod 2.0.
It was great and I beat the hell out of it...numerous drops, a couple dunks in the lake, camping/hunting trips, etc.
Bought another one, and I was really disappointed in the quality. Barely lasted a month and I need to send it back.
I wish I would have gotten an REO mod, instead. They get great reviews here.
I don't like the long flashlight mods. I prefer something that fits in a shirt pocket.

I was looking at those two and came across the Kanger EVOD, which got very high ratings. Any thoughts on this?

If I could've skipped the whole Ego pen style vapes, I would have. Check out the Innokin MVP2.0 or maybe a different style like a tube mod, like the SVD also made by Innokin

Basically you are going to get 20 different opinions from 20 different people. Do your research and see what's in your budget and what would be comfortable for you. I personally have the Halo Triton starter kit almost the same as a ego but thread size is different. I also have a mvp2 box mod not really a favorite and I have a mechanical mod awesome hits and taste but you have to learn how to recoil and wick them. Again its all up to preference and budget. Good luck with your choice.

I started with the evod starter kit. In fact, I'm vaping with the evod head right now, while most of my devices charging. I highly recommend the evods. It is an all in one, comes with 2 complete setups, extra coils and charger.

No. You want to go with this....http://www.myvaporstore.com/Vision_Spinner_Joye_Ego_C_Twist_Combo_p/vvs-c.htm or the MVP2. You cannot change the voltage on an Evod. With the other two you have choices of tuning into your sweet spot. Good luck & VAPE ON

 

[Migriffin]

Yes I understand that I am going to recieve a plethora of opinions. For instance I have noticed multiple people saying they wish they would have skipped the EGO stage. This is what I'm looking for, a simple place to start research. Thank you for your insight though.

I started with a Vision Spinner and Evod. Bought a Provari and Kayfun Lite 1 week later and haven't looked back. I have a couple of Protanks and bought an MVP 2 as backup. Looking into mechanical mods and some different atomizers now but I do not regret buying the Provari.

Cant go wrong with the Kanger Evod kit.
$40 online gets you good quality tanks, backup atomizers and backup batt. Add juice and you are good to go with very little hassle.

3 months in and yes I have many tanks and a couple of mods now but still use that starter kit every day when portability and reliability matter (out and about town and such).
Its a great start and can be a finish depending on how much you can resist shiny new toys or a vaping hobby!

I don't think anyone here that began with a ego starter kit still uses one on a regular basis. They have move on to bigger and better, me included. I now have protanks, aspires, IBT carto tanks, 2 MVPs, 2 iTaste V3 and saving for a provari. If you want to jump ahead and that is something that interests you, then please research and perform due diligence. But if you don't know variable watt from variable volt, how to prime and setup a carto, trouble shoot problems with bottom coil clearos and desire to rebuild coils, then please read and ask questions.
Do I regret getting the evod? Emphatically no! Would I do it again, knowing what I know now? Yes. It was simple, satisfied the nic craving and something I could understand.

I too would have skipped the whole pen vaporizer had I known all of the options, but I will say it's great for travel and at work. Only one week in, and I am already going to be upgrading tomorrow, visiting a local B&M to make my selection.

I've been using the Kanger EVOD for three days (I know not very long). I personally doubt I will want to change. I'm looking for a simple product to supply me with nicotine while I tackle the long road to quitting for good. Yes, I'm a newbie but I'm not very technical so it might depend on your personality too.

I agree with Psyc63, you're going to ge a lot of different recommendations from everyone so I won't go with a specific mod or brand BUT I highly recommnend a variable volt/watt device with something that has adjustable airflow. This will allow you to completely customize and fine tune your vaping experience to your liking. I started in Nov of last year with a simple 1100 mah battery and a mini pro tank II and swore thats all i needed at the time. Well...a billion tanks and mods later ....here I am lol. Good luck on your journey and Vape on!

Innokin MVP2

Another vote for the MVP2 here.

My general advice to folks asking about getting started is: Skip the ego style batteries. They are cheap to get started but you will quickly want something better. So spend that money instead on a good starter pv.

And the MVP2 is just that. You will not need to worry over buying the proper batteries and charger. Simply charge it off your android phone cable. It will go a day or three on a charge, depending on your personal habits. Fits in a pocket, front, back, jeans, shirt, etc. Has a greater range of wattage for you to explore and is suitable for any clearo style tank or single coil rebuildable. Even comes with a charge cable and decent clearo.

It's $45 at vp-wholesale for everything you need minus the juice. That is a few dollars more than the dual ego twist starter kit I bought. But the quality is exponentially better.

Hi! welcome to forum. Although, I am new here but still welcome to the forum and I hope that you will enjoy your time here

I started with the Kanger Evod kit as well and couldn't have been happier. I think we all look back and say that we would have skipped the start up set ups but, while I also outgrew it quickly, I think it was the perfect place to start. Not intimidating at all, very simple to use, reliable, great experience. I would suggest to anyone new to vaping even knowing they will most likely move on from there.

The people you hear saying they tried vaping and quit often say they got a really cheap starter kit that leaked, broke, they couldn't figure out, etc. so they dropped it because of the experience. I thinking learning to walk before you run is usually a good thing so, imo, high quality starter kits will always have their place.
