Newbie, what system to start with?

[Alea4240]

I decided to quit the cancer sticks, and have been using the meh Mistic ecig from Wal-Mart(just because I could get it same day). I wanted some opinions on what to order as an upgrade, I am mostly looking for easy to use. Reading posts around here, the Ego-C, and kgo have caught my eye. Any advice is appreciated!!

Hi and welcome to ECF,

Congrats on making the change. If you don't mind it not looking like a cig I would highly recommend the kgo.

It is all going to depend if you want to stick with something that looks like a cigarette. If you do, check out the smokeless image product. Their small batteries last from 2-4 hours of chains vaping. The cartomizers last a long time and can be refilled many times. They are reasonably priced and you can use the coupon code YOURVOLT00 for 15% off. The customer service at smokeless image is second to none. Here is a video I made talking about them and my experience. It goes over smokeless image and also discusses the x2. The x2 is the same as the kgo.

If you want something bigger, like the size of a sharpie, stick with the kgo. The kgo is better than the ego because it is 3.7v as opposed to the 3.3v in the ego.

Thank you guys! I do not care so much about it looking like a cigarette either. Where is a good place to buy the kgo, there are so MANY online shops!

I also recomend the bottom coil ce3 (also known as the Phoenix) and the vivi nova 2.0 or 2.5.

Here is a video that goes over cartos, clearos and tanks to help you figure out which you would like better. They all have pros and cons.

Hi and welcome to ECF.

All PVs are easy to use. The delivery system is what gives some new vapers problems...
Different delivery systems:
atomizer/ atty- an element on to which 3-4 drops of juice is dripped
cartridge/ cart- a container with sponge (filled with juice) that is used with the atty- juice drips on to atty from cart and is vaporized
cartomizer/ carto- metal tube with stuffing and element.
carto+tank- a carto with a hole punched in it. Carto is than placed in a glass, metal or plastic tank which is filled with juice- juice saturates carto by way of hole in carto.
Clearomizer- a plastic or metal tank with a wick and element. Contains NO stuffing.
Realize batt info: 100 mah= 1 hr normal vaping before recharge.
Choices:
Kgo- true 3.7 Volt PV- long batt life- 510 threading- starter kit about $50 with clearomizers.
Volt- the best cig sized PV available with great deals and prolly the best customer in the industry- price dependent of the quality of package bought.
eGo Twist- variable voltage PV- price about $70- $80 for starter kit
Vtube- variable voltage and can be bought cheaply- about $55.00 for starter kit- tube shaped Mod.
Understand if you're running VV at a higher voltage this will impact the longevity of the batts regarding recharge.

There are several places that sell that model. Hoosierecig is one that has a pretty good price on genuine SLB KGos.

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

http://www.sweet-vapes.com/shop?pag...color_plus.tpl&product_id=1033&category_id=31 sells for about $50.00. Included is a rebuildable clearomizer and extra coil head. Simply unscrew clearo and screw new atty head in.
Extra replacement coil heads:

Realize "if" you do decide to purchase either the Stardust Vision or the Vivi Nova make sure you buy the long wick/ newer version- there were wicking problems with the old version/ short wick versions. Users had to occasionally tilt the tank to keep the wicks wet.

 

[Alea4240]

Ok, will get the long wick. So, dumb question here probably , but haven't done as much research on this model. Do I only need the replacement coil heads, or do I need to buy the whole replacement cartomizer?

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

There's no dumb questions here. You only order the replacement heads ( coil/ element+ wick) and screw them into the plastic tank. The coils eventually get gummed up with juice and you can clean them but eventually they wear out. Previous to this we had to buy the entire tank+ head everytime.

Good idea also to buy an atomizer to test new juices before committing a carto or clearo to it:
http://www.sweet-vapes.com/shop?pag..._color_plus.tpl&product_id=935&category_id=20
When selecting the cartomizer/ clearomizer select the 2.4 ohms resistance- the lower res cartos heat up/ get hot on my Kgo.

I've been very happy with the Vision clearos and am just testing the Viv Nova...Vision looks much nicer on the Kgo cuz no threads showing- very sleek.

 

[Alea4240]

About to place my order! Wanted to know if I should add another tank( I got a few extra coils). How long do you use the tank?

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

Yes add another tank for when you want to quickly switch flavors. Good that you got some extra coils also. Remember when you get the Kgo turn it on by clicking button 5 times- default it comes turned off.
I've got 5 tanks and keep my fave juices in each. Mine are 5 weeks old and still going strong. Shouldn't be problem with the tank, only the heads.

[Alea4240]

Thanks, now I can't wait to get it! Ok good to know I wasn't sure how long lasting they were since you can clean them.

 

[Alea4240]

Really appreciate the advice. I now feel like I am getting off to a great start, instead of being confused.

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

Yeah until you've got the PV in hand it's kinda hard to fathom all this. I know one thing- you will really enjoy the Kgo and the Clearos make filling so easy.
Cheers.

I ordered a kgo and received it last week from hoosier e cigs. I love it compared to the 808 i had, also got a clearomizer to try. Now i just need to order me some more of them or some vivi novas. Love the kgo and hoosiers fast shipping and customer service.
