New vaper, wondering about a few details.

[neohaven]

Okay, so I am a very (seriously) light smoker, around 2-5 cigs or 1-2 pipe(s) a day (always flavored), and one sheesha per 1-2 weeks.

I was thinking of trying eCigs as well, which might eventually replace the cigs and pipes, and I was thinking about getting a 510 'On-the-go' kit from Happy Vaper (remove the space, add a .com if you want the URL, the forum software puts a limit on URLs for newly-registered members. (Probably to fight spam or some such thing.))

I've went through the (massive) 1h tutorial posted here by... (lemme check) Spikey, but there are still a few details I am not too sure about.

Here's what I should be getting :

2 Atomizers
2 Black batteries
1 Charger Wallwart
5 Carts (I suppose they can be refilled, as I wouldn't really understand how you can make non-refillable ones)
1 Charger (portable)

I was also thinking of getting a few e-liquid supplies, including :

Either VG or PG, not sure, probably going for both and will try both out.
2-3 LorAnn flavorings (currently going for English Toffee, Butter Rum and Pomegranate)
A glass dropper to bring liquid around, just in case.

Now the main question comes :

Is there anything else (from experience) that I would need? (I alerady have lab supplies like droppers, syringes, graduated cylinders and all.)

find your self a supply of unflavored nic juice as high as you can get. also add your location has it helps members help you. from your list it looks like your good to go

You may also want to include a 510 passthrough with your order. The passthrough is identical to a standard 510 rechargeable battery except that the end portion is wired to a standard USB connector. You simply plug the USB connector into a USB port or portable power pack and can vape all day long without having to change or charge batteries.

A box of blank cartridges would also be good to fill with the liquids you buy. I've found that the liquid that is in the starter kit carts leave much to be desired.

Sounds like you've done your research and are off to a good start!

You might think about buying some extra empty carts, or restuffing material ( I hear Wal-Mart has giant bags of something called polyfill that works well). Also, one more battery wouldn't be a bad idea in case you get a dud, or flood/drop/break one somehow. You'll probably be playing with your new toy a lot at first, and it's no fun waiting for batteries to recharge.

Being in Canada, I can't get much of anything for a eCig that contains any nicotine whatsoever.

This isn't really a problem, because I can manage to get nicotine if I really want to and mix my own. (From a lab supplier close to here that we use for chemistry at a local college... 99.99%, Lab Grade, batches of 10 grams, need to be registered, but hey. It's nicotine.)

--------------------------------------------

About carts and filling :

Empty cartridges are available at the retailer I'm getting this from, but the filling you mentioned doesn't seem to be available in the canadian Wal-Marts. Anything else that should work well?

I use Fluval to refill my carts. It's a filter medium for aquariums. Just go to a pet shop and look for white, fluffy stuff in the fish part.

You might wanna also consider a PCC (personal charging case) You charge it up, then it will re-charge your e-cig while you're out of the house 4 or 6 times. It's (usually) metal and looks similar to a pack of regular cigarettes.
It holds the battery it's charging and a spare atomizer and a couple of carts.

Another vote for the PCC.

While I like my USB PT, the 510 passthrough is some pretty tiny gauge wiring, so while I do already have one, I'll be buying (well, did buy, waiting on now) Puresmoker's passthrough with adapters instead for an additional 510 PT.

I use the Fluval '2', here:
Fluval Polyester Pads from Hagen - Filter Media - Fish - PetSmart

I'm a lab tech. I spend most of my day aside chemicals for organic chem classes. Trust me, I know. (This is also how I can actually get my hands on such liquids.)
