I guess as a new forum member, I probably should not be plastering text all over the place. However since I am a firm believer in Freedom of Speech, I think that I will exercise some. When I was first approached with this idea of vaping, I was about as skeptical as a person could get. I had zero faith, in other words. However since that time, I have learned a few things along the way. One situation or factor that I am certain of is the fact that a person MUST obtain proper vaping supplies, gear and so forth in order to making your vaping experience a success especially if you are using vaping as an aid to stop using commercial tobacco products. Right off the bat here, I am in full realization that there exist literally hundreds of options or decisions on the open market. The looming question will most likely be "What should I buy to get started"..?? I am a self admitted newbie to vaping and I had to cross this bridge as well. I was very fortunate because I had a fellow forum member here (my brother) give me many, many wise suggestions.
I am just throwing out this information for any beginner that I may be able to help. What I am really focused in on, is those poor people that are helplessly hooked on conspiracy sticks meaning cigarettes. This applies to "smokeless tobacco" as well. Right off the bat, I fully realize that folks whom are investigating vaping as an alternative to commercial tobacco use, probably start freaking out about the initial expense. I can assure you that it would be most wise to flip your thinking around..!! In my particular case, cigarette smoking was costing me $640.00 per month which adds up to $6,480.00 per year. I used to smoke these really expensive "Indian Organic" cigarettes which were supposed to be non-addictive and not contain any additives, etc. This was a LIE. In all reality, no matter what kind of vaporizer you choose, or e-juices or tanks (blah, blah), these small investments WILL be far less expensive compared to your old tobacco habit which is costing you a small fortune right now.
Now then, this is not a "show and tell" situation here for me. As stated, I am already fully aware of the fact that MANY items are for sale when it comes to this world of vaping. And I also know that some of this stuff is pure junk. About all that I can really and truly do here is give you a list of MY gear or supplies and then allow you to make up your mind for yourself. Also, let it be known that I do NOT work for any of these companies, I receive no royalties of any kind nor do I get paid for promoting ANY of these items that I shall list. At this point in time, this is my vaping setup and you are most welcome to go your own merry way.
#1. My one and only vaporizer is a KangerTech Subox Mini mod or "box".
#2. I use a Kanger SubTank Plus which was not specifically designed for the mod above.
#3. From the very beginning, I have used 0.5 OHM Kanger OCC replacement coils. There are other type coils available and you can even build your own.
#4. My Subox Mini mod runs off of ONE battery which so happens to be an Efest 18650 3.7 volt 3100 mAh rechargeable type. You need to purchase PROPER batteries for these mods.
#5. I use a Nitecore Digi 2 charger for these batteries. I do NOT try to charge up my mod with that little mickey mouse mini USB cable that comes with.
#6. E-JUICE. This product is of utmost importance. If you purchase e-juice or e-liquid that is wrong for your body's needs, you WILL be right back to smoking death sticks. Starting out, I am recommending either Mystique Vapor Hyperion E-Juice OR Space Jam Eclipse E-Juice. I also would not go over 12 mg's strength in NICOTINE. I messed around with just enough of these various e-juices to know that you CAN end up with some really rough stuff that will irritate your throat and lungs. You can also make or produce your own e-juices or e-liquids.
#7. One of the wisest decisions that you can make is to purchase a "KangerTech Subox Mini STARTER KIT". Everything you need to get started is in that kit except for the appropriate batteries, a charger and some e-juice. The "stock" tank that comes with this kit is a Kanger Subox Mini Tank which holds 4.5 ml's of E-juice. The larger tank that I am using right now holds 7 ml's of e-juice. You need not worry about this larger tank nonsense, because this is just something I tried. It is NOT a necessary object to purchase.
Well I know that this entire post is up for complete debate. I will probably engage in none of it. When I quit smoking commercial coffin nails....I did the COLD TURKEY dance. I did not pacify this nasty habit by sneaking or hot boxing a cigarette once in awhile. Point being, is the above named gear and equipment is exactly what I used to get this job done. Plain and simple. At any rate, I hope that this post HELPED somebody. This is all I care about >

......... In all my days in electronics I never had to deal with false specs/ratings........ When you selected an electronics component for a task then you could pretty well be rest assured that it's rating fell within it's stated tolerances. Not so with some of the makers of these batteries and something I am not used to dealing with 
.... At any rate, I will get him some good ones. I am just glad it was noticed because I may have not even paid much attention.
