Hi everyone. This is my first post, I've been lurking for quite awhile. I have also watched many YouTube videos.
About a month ago I went into Walgreens and bought a blu starter kit. I like the idea of it but it just isn't cutting it for me.....battery life sucks!!
I want to go further. In all the research that I have done, I have figured the following out:
Which set up should I buy for my first setup? 1. An Ego twist, A Vision Spinner or an Evod battery?
2. A CE2, mini vivi nova or an Evod?
Please help me.

Hi Sadness..........I am always hesitant to recommend one battery or tank to someone since everyone's tastes are different. I have used an eGo Twist and a Vision Spinner. I migrated from the Twist to the Spinner because the dial numbers are easier for me to read.

I have used the Vision Vivi Nova 3.6 and 2.6 clearomizers. Mostly now I use Kanger ProTank. All three are excellent choices but whatever you settle on be sure you are buying authentic brand-name equipment and not knock-offs. For instance the Vision Spinners are marketed by Vision and should have "Vision" on the bottom of the battery.

Good luck with your vaping and welcome to the forum.

I feel your pain with blu. I did the same thing. It all depends on how much you are willing to spend. I was willing to do almost anything to get of analogs.

A friend introduced me to provari. I knew nothing about vaping at that point. I know it's more expensive but 2 months strong it was worth it. Again I didn't care. So I bought it with a vivi nova. Liked the setup. Now switching between vivi and carto tanks.

Wth the kit and juice to start out on, I really don't want to spend more than $100 to start......it's all I can talk my hubby into spending lol

I have a mini nova on a standard ego battery and its great. i was very impressed by the flavor and vape it produced the first time i used it. IMO id recommend the mini nova. It has been super reliable with no leak problems with regular maintenance/cleaning every week or so. But i do wish i would of bought a Twist or Spinner. I tried my mini on my friends Spinner and it was a totally different experience.

Batteries are actually Tornado-C from Totally Wicked. Also my Mini Nova is from them as well. Love their service.

I can vouch for the spinner kit from MVS - thats the exact same kit I bought (with the CE5 clearomizers) and I been very happy with it. It comes with everything you need (except juice) Some may say it's a little pricey and you can get similar stuff much cheaper - but I just know it worked for me - no analogues since the day it arrived was worth every cent to me.

I got the 1300 spinners, the batteries last all day, and (unlike a lot of people it seems) I love the CE5's - easy to fill, no leaks, no wicking issues and a good vape.

I hear ya on the money. Just take a plunge on whatever you think. Go to a local store and see if they will let you try a setup. Most vape shops are very friendly. Good luck on your future purchase

I have the Ego twist/Spinner kit from My Vapor Store - its my starter kit (ego-c twists 1000mAh with EVOD clearomizers). I had the kit about a month now, no problems with any part of it. The 1000mAh twists last me all day, EVODs work great for me and the replacement heads for them are reasonably priced as well IMO.

There are a few places to look if pricing is an issue.
There's plenty of info within the forums that will steer you in the right direction.

A decent starter should be no more than $80 from my experience. a Joyetech or vision starter kit is usually this price, and certain websites will offer free juice to get you started (usually 10ml with your choice of nico strength).

and at $100 being a first kit, I would always say start on the ego type battery before moving up to VV and/or MODs.

Hi! I am a new vaper and I have been using the Evod for about a month. I am totally satisfied with it. I purchased mine from Vapor Alley and was impressed with the level of customer service I received and quick shipping time. I believe they are out of stock at the moment, but if you shoot him an email he (I think his name is Rick) can probably tell you when he will have more. The only thing I would avoid from Vapor Alley would be the juices.:blink:
