Hi peeps from Malaysia! Nice to have the permission to post here...

Just started a few days ago... now im trying to get a harder hit as my caplang e-cig is not giving me enuff kick...

So after browsing through a few online sellers.... i have two choices in mind...

Option a:
1x eGo-C Twist Battery 650Mah
1x ego Carrying Case
1x Wallplug
1x Charger
1x Rebuildable Stardust

This has a variable volting thingy (3.2v to 4.8v in .2v increments )

Option B:

- 2pc KGO 1100mah Battery (Black or Stainless Steel)
- 2pc Replacable Coil Stardust
- 1pc Wall Charger
- 1pc USB Cable for Charger
- 1pc Gift Box
(This has two batts)

Huuurrrmmmmm... which will suite me better eyy... im not quite a heavy smoker... 15 Dunhill Lights + 6 Clove cigarettes...

hi bareknuckle & welcome to ECF...a starter kit with only 1 battery(takes 2 hrs to recharged) is not ideal to start with..may i suggest getting 2 sets preferrably wih 2 batteries and the extras in charger cable serve as a backup unit(worst scenerio if any of yr vital units(battery or charger) failed,and hard to find replacement as e-cig not easily available like analogs).

i recommend getting the VV eGo from healthcabin Healthcabin Promotion Sale and U need a few pkts of cartomizers..i tested this 5pc New CE2 XL Steel Cartomizers for 510/eGo an easy to refill & lasting(normal cartomizer from a few days to a few weeks of usage..but with 510 CE2 XL Steel Cartomizers can last into months & vaping is almost like U R dripping(superior way to vape) ..not forgetting e-liquids..i DIY & vape 3-4 ml a day now..happy vaping..regards mafig ps takes only less than a week by EMS and healthcabin is very prompt sending out yr order,i highly recommend HC especially now sale on till 12th Aug

Option 2 would be preferable based on the 2 batteries - however, the Twist will give you more options to experiment. I vape both KGO's and Twists when I'm out and about. Both are good, but the Twist is certainly more versatile.

Thanks for the input Mafig... The KGO has 2 batts... and comes with 2 stardusts to vape with... ant its 1100Mah (Is my theory right, the bigger the Mah, the longer it will last and needs to be recharged?) So i can go out with two actual sets with two types of juices... this looks very2 enticing...

As for the ego-twist, how does the variable voltages give me more versatility... i've seen a few videos... the difference is when they crank the voltage up, more vape comes out... and also the attys, some have different Ohms to them... does this effect the amount of vapour and lastingness of the batts per charge?

Its getting more and more interesting... now im overloaded with info aqnd starting to confuse myself! hahahahaha...

Eeeyo figer ill throw this in not really a starter kit but... Check out the upgraded ego-t mod by joyetech. This thing kicks kinda a vv ive got the twist aswell it works nice. I myself started vaping a few years back with no name knock offs. They were junk always went back 2 analogs Found the ego-c by joyetech as a starter kit and havent looked back,came with 650mah lasted me about 4-5hrs, as for throat hit whatever u decide get a few cartomizers or attys at a low ohms like1.8. The lower the omhm the better the vape at a lower voltage, hope this helps

Came with 2batts, paid round 79.00 us$

hi bareknuckle..for a novice using VV mod takes the guess work from selecting which ohms cartomizers are compatible to yr battery in use..VV battery is compatible with LR(low resistence) to SR(standard resistence) atomizers or cartomizers..the amount of vapor produce during vaping, higher voltage use and also the % mixture of PG to VG in yr e-liquid..using a VV battery U can govern the voltage used and with 70 % PG and 30% VG mixture a huge plume of vapor with a good throat hit as well(i am a fan of 70/30 mixture for e-liquids).

rules of thumb,every 100 mAh is 1 hour of vaping..so initially when new 1100 mAh is 11 hours of usage be4 recharging but for me,even i rotate 4 PVs..i constantly have to recharge at least 2 batteries each day..wear and tear in usage for battery diminished the power store with each recharge(i go thro at least 4-5 batteries in my 1st year of vaping)..so do have backups and plenty of e-liquids(i buy by the 1/2 kilo)..$$ spent on e-cig and accessories are worth the price of yr "good health"..was a 30yrs smoker and now over 15 months vaping..my health improve with each passing days as a non smoker..only wish i started when e-cig was invented..happy vaping ..regards mafig

my setup 4 PVs in used with diff flavors

my backups

 

[Okay]

speaking from a newbiepoint, i would suggest jump straight to Lavatube as the cost is only slightly higher if budget allows.
the VV batteries mentioned is also a very good choice. makes vaping experience a lot better.

Welcome to the vaping community bareknuckle...

Looking at both package u have in mind, for me it is better to get the KGO. It has higher mAh, and also has 2 batts which u can always have as a backup.

But if u still want to get a variable voltage thingy, then look for other package than ur Option A. Coz i feel that package is a bit weak.. Only 1 battery and a rebuilable (which is an advanced thingy).

It's better to get the experience first before start to jump to variable and rebuilable..

Just my opinion...

 

[bareknuckle]

Thanks for the wisdom peeps... After thinking and thinking and more thinking, got the Ego-T Kit with CE4's.... the 1100mah version... Got it with some apple flavoured e-juice... cant wait for my first vaping experience tomorrow when the package arrives... What do i need to do first? Do i need to charge the batteries prior to use first?

 

[bareknuckle]

Item arrived! Filled the juice and now trying to vape, properly! Vapor production and taste is friggin faaarrrrrr more superior tham my m401... But i do feel like theres a burning feeling in the vapor... and it tasted spicy/hot? Is this normal? What am i supposed to feel? Does it have a running-in period or something?

Congrats.. Play with the voltage n see what volt suits u..
