noob

[bettylynn]

hi ,
haven't got a e-cig yet , still researching different brands or trying to ,,,
is the brand diablo , or totaly wicked any good or the volcano ? I can't just
go willy nilly and buy 2 or three different e-cigs . but I need one that will last for
awhile , if any of you have any more advice for me I will happily take it.

Hello and welcome! I will always recommend an eGo type of model. They last a long time. Check out our blog if you get a chance, we are all about helping noobs. Guides | eCigology - Part 2
Browse the beginners section and let either Gary or I know if you need any help... also, were giving away a free eGo kit to someone....but to win you need to signup for the newsletter to enter the contest.

There are many great starter kits, I tend to stay away from totally wicked, they are more expensive than most other suppliers. I've had my nebula for about 16 months now and it's still working great. It was my first PV and I still use it quite often. You can find out more info on the nebula at vapornine.com. Ben is one of the best dealers to buy from, great guy.

Good luck!

Volcano and Totally Wicked are both widely recognized as offering good products.
I have not heard of Brand Diablo though.

As far as lasting a long time, it doesn't work that way.

You don't use it until it stops working and then buy a new kit.
What you do is buy a new battery when your current battery stops working.
And you buy a new atomizer when your current atomizer stops working.

But for your starter kit, whatever you decide to start with, make sure it has two batteries and two atomizers.
You will always need to have a backup, just in case.

Hi bettylynn
Glad to have you here. I would highly suggest you spend some reading and learning time here.
There is a ton of info that will help you when you get your kit and hopefully prevent any
bumps in the road.
There is also YouTube videos on just about any brand or model that you are considering.
That may help you in your decision.
Again, lot to learn and so well worth your time and effort!

Good luck and happy vaping

Welcome!

Just spend some time reading on this site, watch the videos MistressNomad made: HERE
check out reviews and youtube videos on models you like the looks of.
Check out the ECF Library DonDaBoomVape has a killer guide there, that will answer a lot of questions for you.
Also check out the Vendor section of the forums if you need names of good places to buy.

above all, keep asking questions. Plenty of folks on this site that know a lot more than me that will help point you to the right places

the Volcano Inferno is a good route to go since it's an eGo. and $60 for a kit with a passthrough is a decent deal for a quality product. the best bet would be to order that and see how you like it. then you can think about getting some 510 cartomizers and good bottle of juice. by buying juice instead of cartridges, you will start saving a lot of money.

I recommend if you buy 510 or Ego you buy Joye brand for your first purchase. Some people have been getting clone parts and mismatched parts by buying non-Joye 510s

 

[TaylorMade]

Start with the basics. I started with a blu on a whim just to see if I would like an ecig (I loved it), but quickly switched to a 510 after reading through the forums. Great vapor and TH. I like the portability of the 510 with a PCC but may pick up an Ego soon for home use.

 

[Deofol]

You can get a 510 setup with some juice for under $50 shipped and have enough smoke to last you a week or two if you play it right.

It all depends on you habit, but you can't go wrong with a good 510 to get into the vapor world.

Here's a great video-

Totally Wicked uses Joye brand products, they just rename them, till the end of Jan. use the promo code NY2011 for 20% off with them. Also, there is a site selling Riva's for $30 right now (I can't remember which one but it's been all over the forum for a couple days)

 

[SweetPuff]

Not too sure about totally wicked, but I'm a newbie too, on my second kit, first was greensmoke, didn't like it, then got the ultimate kit from v2cigs, and love it. It has everything you could possibly need to get off to a good start. I think it was a fair price too.

 

[bettylynn]

thank you all for the advice .
