Being new to vaping and currently using the cheapest method around $20 ce4 want to eventually upgrade when finances allow

a local couple is trying to get a business started located at flea market so I am all about helping someone local if the price difference isn't too extreme.

They have a spinner battery for $30 but it seems like you can get the spinner 2 on EBAY for less but then I have heard to avoid EBAY because of cheap imitations, and I don't know where the local ppl get their stock either.

They have a few tanks I think a protank 3 and maybe a evod but I was almost thinking of getting a aerotank, I know I want something glass and I thought the adjustable airflow might be neat...but at the same time being a newbie if I buy local I would have them help me because I don't know anyone that vapes and although I love YouTube videos nothing beats real life hands on-I know I'm gonna end up needing help with coils when the time comes.

I feel like I am probably cheating myself using this ce4 I don't taste much flavor-and I think I have a better chance actually quitting the stinkies with something more enjoyable-gonna be a month or so until I have any extra cash but I want to know for sure what I want so I can get it ASAP

Help is much appreciated :)

MVP Itaste innokin vv with a protank is a good setup to start out.

Personally though the last thing I want is a glass tank. I agree it looks nice but think of it as carrying a wine glass in your pocket all day. One wrong move and that thing could break. I much prefer the (whatever the material is) kayfun clear windows for durability.

Enjoy your journey it will be a up and down but you end up smiling and enjoying everything about it.

Genuine Itaste VV3, or MVP, Spinners or Joyetech ego twists.....you really can't go wrong starting out with those things and you will either use them for backup, or in between, or gift them to a friend, coworker or relative if you decide to go to a more sophisticated mod.

Heck many of us still use our egos weekly even though advanced vapers. Everything has it's place.....some stuff stays home, other stuff goes out with you.

Just make a start and don't agonize too much over the first $50 bucks you spend......if you get juice you LIKE it will make the biggest difference IMHO.. When I started and didn't have juice i liked it didn't seem to matter what I was using....I didn't enjoy vaping until i found a few all day vapes. :)

Then I moved to bottom feeders and life was good.

Everybody finds their thing, what I found out was nobody could really tell ME what my thing was gonna be, I had to find it myself little by little but the important thing is to START.

You're idea of glass tank if you want to vape cinnamon is a good idea.

Personally I used to like spinners but the newer ones I do not like at all, seems to be a little persnickity with the charging.....

If I were starting out again I would tell you to find a vendor you like and develop a loyal relationship....don't start out on Ebay. Your vendor if they are good will be supportive, take back any defective products, etc. Some of them offer points toward next purchase for every $1 you spend, etc. Stick with a few of the well known ECF vendors and you'll be good to go.....OR a good honest B&M store in your neighborhood. :)

Newbies do not need to be spending weeks and weeks waiting for orders from fasttech, or patronizing ebay vendors who may be selling knock off products. When you know what's what you'lll be able to discern that stuff better, for now, I don't advise.

I'm not entirely sure of what the kayfun window is made of myself, but at the same time, I haven't heard anyone say whether it is or isn't susceptible to liquid eating away at it either.

I personally endorse glass all the way. I actually experienced one of my liquids eroding the threading on a plastic tank I had.. liquid all over myself, my recliner, my mod, was a huge mess, so I'm leery of ANY tank that isn't glass now.

I used carto tanks for two years... I have 6 tanks from IBTanked and 4 from Phiniac glass and not a single one every got cracked or even scratched in two years.

I went from using carto tanks to using an Aerotank Mega and a Nautilus. I love them both. Huge improvement from the last time I tried clearomizers.

I don't have anything against the Kanger heads for my Aerotank but the Nautilus heads seem to be hit and miss. However, Aspire released the Nautilus Mini, which uses their new BVC heads. They're a vertical coil head..... which.... is actually just a miniature cartomizer...LOL. But I'll say two things about them. First, they're compatible with the full size Nautilus. Second, like I already stated, I used carto tanks for two years, so maybe Aspire is onto something by basically turning their tanks into easy-to-fill carto tanks.

I got away from actual carto tanks because of a bad experience. I would buy my cartos in bulk online, 30-50 at a time. I won't mention the make or retailer I got them from because they WERE always good... But hey, s**t happens and I got a bad batch. Out the 30 cartos I bought, 12 of them were duds. It was very frustrating so I simply got online and did some research about my other options. Both the Aerotank and Nautilus came recommended so I grabbed one of each.

I have HUGE hands with sausage fingers that tremble uncontrollably thanks to my medications, so I didn't want to run off and but a kayfun. I'm planning to, but at the same time I'll be ordering a couple of tools that will at least help me build the coils themselves. One of the tools is called the Artistic Wire Gizmo.. They have it on amazon. The other is made specifically for building coils, and is made and shipped from the UK. I can't remember the name or website but if anyone is curious just let me know and I'll look it up.

the 30-40$ for a twist is about right for standard retail from a B&M for a 1100 or 1300 mah battery. altho Fasttech and Ebay will offer prices for 1/2 of that, one should be careful on the quality of such low priced twists... Ive seen alot of "cheaply" made twists with 510 top caps pop right off the tube, the voltage adjustment cap spin too easily or even just spin more than 360 degrees...
