Overwhelmed...

[freshestwave]

Howdy ya'll,

I'm a PAD menthol smoker, looking to move to e-cigarettes, but I'm pretty overwhelmed with all the choices. Can I get some recommendations on a good and financially moderate setup? It'd also be great to know where I might go shopping online.

This is what I just started with.
eCig Starter Kit - 900mah

I have an eGo kit and love it so I ordered one of these for a friend eGo 1100mah CE4 Kit

I was in the same boat as you. I got a kit very similar to this: E-Cig Kits - Ego- VV - SmokersVapor.com 6836 Park Boulevard Pinellas Park Fl, 33781

The only difference is mine came with 2 fix voltage batteries in the 1100mAh flavor (which lasts a LONG time for me, anywhere from 3-5 days), and had the newer CE5 clearos versus the CE4's shown in the kit. I bought from them locally and my kit was only in-stores. Paid $80 for a "Super kGo" kit. Good luck!

Wow, maybe I overpaid as that looks to be exactly what I got except with CE5 clearos... and a free 10ml bottle of fluid.

I just recently stuck with e-cigs, i tried about a year ago but at the time was not committed to switched so i didnt. However this time around its been going well and yeah there is an epic amount of choices and information.

For a reasonably priced start setup i would suggest the G6 G6 Basic Starter Kit - G6 E-Cig , its good for its price and works great. Although i suggest to not to get the automatic version of their batteries as you have to drag somewhat hard for the battery to kick in.

Next once you have the equipment is the juice. Finding the right flavor can be a daunting task as there really isnt an easy way to try several falvors and then get what you want. I personally enjoy https://www.backwoodsbrew.net however currently they are hard to get orders in as they are in the process of moving but they seem to have the best taste from what i have tried. Its also prudent to buy the juice not pre filled cartomizers . Also for strength since you are a PAD i would suggest get 18mg strength initially and see how your smoking habbits change if any. I noticed i smoke more often but in shorter sessions so after my first vial of 18mg strength i dropped to 12 mg.

Hope this helps

Hi freshwaterwave. I can only tell you what I started out with.
First I tried a disposable to see if I would even like e-cigs. Then I purchased a mini kit. (the type of e-cigs similar to the size of a real cig.)
Then I recently purchased an EGO-T with a 1.6ml clearomizer for a much better hit and longer lasting battery.

What I started with. Use at computer and in car but I plug to a strip and not the computer. Its just a battery with the usb cover cap on to use anywhere. You can use it as it charges... big plus for me. And the kit comes with everything you need to get started including juice.

Its semi variable voltage.. meaning.... 3.3 unplugged, 3.8 ( I think) plugged one mode. 3.7 unplugged, 4.2 plugged in the other mode.

I'm ready, after 3 months, to go to a variable voltage but will still always use these (I have two) in addition as I wouldn't want to take the variable out of the house. I didn't want to sink a bunch of money into something I wasn't sure would take on me is why I went with this one but I'm very, very, happy I did.

I way overpaid for my first kit too and won't way how much but now I know a little bit more. The fact is that even though I paid too much, vaping now has me off the analogs - WOOT

 

[ridethespiral]

I agree with the thread title!

Lots of info in these welcome posts though ;D

I've ordered a Volt X2 900mAh with a Volt clearomizer tip and 2 5mL bottles of fluid for a little less than $45 shipped. From what I've researched, it's a great place to start and the quality is supposed to be great. I can let you know personally when it actually gets here, which should be within the next couple hours at most

I do know better now, but for a kGo kit, I don't think it was that much over. I also had the benefit of buying it local, and was able to sit and chat with the folks there for as long as I wanted to get "learned" But I agree, getting of analogs is worth many times more what my kit cost.

cant go wrong with 2-3 ego batteries, charger, case, and a few clearomizers

I stared with Blu’s have to say not bad, just battery always needing charging had me jump back to cig’s when waiting. Also not sure if I could or wanted to justify the denaro.
Just received my jump into it package. A bolt with big a** battery , Vision vv. & Boge carto’s 2 oms. This is the happiest I’ve been since I got in the back seat of the car with Sandy well that does not matter.
But take that 1st step all around I think the vision vv would be what I would advise.

Jumping in just to say thank you for this link!! I'm a newbie looking to step up from a mall type e-cig, but way too confused to get a really advanced set up. I had gotten some awesome advice, but really was thinking to myself "I wish someone could post a link to a kit that would be easy and start me off with exactly what I needed..." Ta da! You did! I ordered it last night as I think it's the perfect starting point for me - much better than what I had but not overly complicated. And High Desert Vapes was wonderful! A few hours after I placed the order, I changed my mind about the nic strength on one of the e-juices I bought, so I used their contact us form - had a reply from John within 5 minutes saying he was just about to fulfill my order and it would absolutely no problem! Very grateful all around and very relieved to really be starting this process. So, thank you!
