Hello everyone,
There is so much information on this form I am totally overwhelmed.

I believe I need 2 starter kits, does anyone have any other recommendations, for my first order?
I ask because of the obvious postal delay...etc
Please if someone could point me to a good deal from a reputable Etailer.

She smokes 1 pack a day I smoke 2, both full flavor Marlboro cigarettes...thanks for any help......Russell

It's really up to you. I DO recommend looking through the library here and getting a feel for what you want before you order. Go to one of the better juice suppliers, thus skipping unfortunate juice choices. I went with both a 510 and a KR808 for my starter kits. I sent the hubs a KR808 since he doesn't like fiddling, he's a grab and go kind of guy. Research is your friend, it's a little overwhelming at first, but worth it! Good luck and welcome aboard!

I started with the 510's from cignot.com and are still using the same kit. I have ordered additional kits from them for my friends as well.
Main focus is to get you started (vaping) and then the elimination of those analogs will happen soon.
Good luck. The ladies at cignot are top notch and their products are also.
Good luck. Look forward to seeing your posts as your journey continues. :thumb:

I got my 510 from ecigexpress.com. Get at least two batteries and two atomizers each as you will need to switch out and recharge and etc. and you don't want to be stuck waiting. Get a variety of e-juices in different flavors. Some of your e-juice should be at least 24mg nicotine strength (if not higher) and you might also want to get some other lesser strengths for comparison too. Don't be surprised if you find yourself wanting to try flavors you never thought you'd want to try, many of us began by trying to duplicate our brand of cigarettes only to find that vapor is so much tastier than what we are used to that it no longer matters anymore. There's usually an adjustment period we all went through where we are learning how to vape and when and how much and how do you...etc.etc.etc...Don't give up, it will work for you too, just figure out what works for you and you'll be happily vaping away soon enough. Oh, and one last thing: never buy anything without researching it first here. Good luck, and welcome to the forum!

I love cignot, like many others have said here. Their prices are amazing, customer service is awesome, and shipping is incredibly fast. I would highly recommend them. I just wish I would have found this forum before I ordered my first PV. I went with Blu, which I do like, but nowhere near as much as the 510.

As for juice, I also can't say enough wonderful things about Tasty Vapor. They're backed up some right now, but completely worth the wait. They solved my problem of not being able to chew my beloved cinnamon gum any longer with their Atomic Cinnacide. :D And their prices are pretty great as well.

I also used cignot and ordered the joye 510 no frills kit, which was two batteries, two atties, 5 marboro high carts, within two weeks I ordered two more PV's with the personal charger so that I'm not stuck without. I also tried their cappaccino flavor. I ordered my juice from Halo and found the Freedom juice to be very enjoyable, I tried the Super8 which has a ginger flavor, also but I'm not as crazy about that one. I smoked Marboro ultralights. I have spent less on supplies for ecig than I would have on cigarettes in the last 3+ weeks and haven't looked back.

Jerry, I would like to purchase 2 quality kits, with enough liquid to last a month.
For my wife and I, could you share a link with me Sir?...

Yes, I can. If you're typical, you'll both go through about 30 ml every 10 days. I would suggest that you start at 18 mg. If that's too strong, drop your nic level, too weak...up it.....This is the number one problem Newbs seem to have, IMHO. That's why you may not want to order a full month's supply before you know what strength works for you.

They are steering you right by suggesting the 510 model. However, you are not going to like the little batteries that last only an hour or so. And with you both vaping, those two little chargers are going to struggle keeping up.

Here is a souped up 510. This is all I vape after going through many models. It's called the Tornado.

TORNADO E-NI- Manual Battery

Here it is in a 5 pack, this will get you both going:

TORNADO E-NI-5 x Manual Battery Multi Pack

Here is a charger that will allow you to charge 5 batts at a time:

E-NI-510 TITAN.5 Battery Mega Charger

And you will need these adapters to get this batt on that charger:

TORNADO-Battery-Mains Charger Adaptor x 5 Multi Pack

Finally, if you want to look sleek, you need these cones to tie everything together:

TORNADO-Battery/Atomizer Cover CONE.

Finally, you need the atomizers:

510 TITAN Electronic Cigarette 5 x Atomiser Multi Pack

The atomizers come with cartridges but there is no filler in them. Here is carts with filler.

Refillable Electronic Cigarette Cartridges -510 Titan Black

Why not just start with the best rather than spending a grand like I did to get here?

And decent juice is available there as well.

The kr808s have a big problem though. Be sure to read this thread: All my used carto's are TOAST !!

That's not a problem with the KR808 or the carto - it's user error.

I would highly recommend the KR808D-1 (Vapor4Life) because it's very simple to use and the flavors are terrific. Just be sure you don't over-vape the carto and you'll be fine. It's not hard to know when the carto is done; if it tastes off and the vapor production is noticeably down, stop vaping and refill it.

I've only ruined two cartos in over five months and both times it was because I was busy and ignored the signs that the juice was almost gone.

I think that we can really burry the idea that the burned filling is "user error", the thread linked proves that sufficiently. But even if it is, then it is a very common one, and one more reason not to recomment a KR8 to a beginner. 'Nuff said.

People are recommending the 510 because it's currently the standard model, and for a reason. The Tornardo/eGo is basically a 510, too, just with a big battery and a cool cover. I'd personally go with Janty eGo, but I am not sure about availability in the US. Some other shops also stick them. (I'm not overly fond of TW, but basically, eGo and Tornardo are the same thing.) However, if you buy a plain 510 first, you can use everything in the kit with the eGo, too, except, obviously, the batteries. But those are neat for backup, or at home, or for those flavours you don't vape that often …. Not a waste, therefore, either.
