Payday coming up - help me decide what to stock up on!

[RollTheBones]

Going on my second week here of vaping, thanks to the good people here I got over the initial learning curve (I laugh at that thread now and am hoping to settle into a groove.

I want to make sure I don't get caught in the cold by missing something, and when the only way to get things is online I need to have things ahead of time. Here is what I have so far:

2 510 Manual Batts
1 510 Auto Batt
2 Atomizers
10 cartridges
10 3 ML Samplers
2 30 ML bottles of juice
1 PCC
1 Passthrough

Should I stock up on the electronic portion, like extra batts and/or atomizers?

I have not been at this long enough to know how long they last and when I can expect them to start failing.

( I didnt list any of my 808 gear since I am not all that happy with that setup )

What are you least happy with? Battery life? juice flavors?

I know I'd get more atomizers.

Instead of getting a pcc and a few more batts, I would suggest a big battery type, ego/tornado/riva/hello 016.

Bert, that list is what he has now, not what he's looking to get. I would put a bigger battery on my list, but it depends on how happy you are with everything else and how much you're willing to spend. There's a really good sale on two Rivas right now, I'll go find the link.

The Rivas and your 510 attys are compatible.

Oh whoops. i thought that was the list to purchase.

Well I found a couple flavors I like so I am planning on stocking up on them. Otherwise I think I will just keep trying new things and never settle

Ok, atomizers; how often do these things need to be replaced? On average... ?

It's not that I am unhappy with anything right now, but I dont want to get stuck when something suddenly takes a nose dive. And at this point I dont know what is most likely to fail, batteries, atomizer, cartridges, etc.

Right, that list is what I currently have.

By bigger battery you mean one that lasts longer? Will I need a new charger for that as well? I checked your link, it looks like a whole Riva kit. ?

Your atomizers should last +- (For ME) about 2- 3 months on good ones..even longer if your not a heavy vaporer...reg attys..not LR's

 

[Upinthehills]

Cartridges don't really fail, you can always get a bag of polyfill from WalMart and refill them if needed. Atomizers can last anywhere from a few minutes to months. I keep a bunch around just in case. In my three months of vaping I've lost three atomizers. Two were due to user error and one just got horribly clogged and I couldn't get it clean. I've also lost one battery in that time. Since you have three batteries, if you lost one, it would be inconvenient, but you'd get through it.

By bigger battery I mean a battery that lasts longer. The Riva/eGo/Tornado, etc. are all 510 batteries, but they'll each last about 6 hours instead of the 2 or so you get with a regular 510 battery.

The link I posted is a whole Riva kit, actually, it's two whole Rivas. With the bigger batteries you need a fast USB charger. They won't fit in your pcc. The kit also has the cones that "finish" the look of the battery.

Again, what you get next depends on what you're least happy with. After getting my first 510 I promptly moved to eGos and went on a shopping spree to find better juices. Changing the battery all the time was a pain for me and I knew there were better juices out there.

So the wall charger I already have for the 510 batts will not work with these Rivas?

Yea I have given the eGos a few looks

And juice, man, I could easilly go bankrupt trying different flavors. It's almost a bad thing that there is just SO much to choose from. Especially for people like me who are always looking for the next best thing. It's like crack. EEEGAAAH!!!



Thanks for the info.

For me, I'm going to pick up a second PT, an auto, plus car lighter/USB adapter (2000 mA), so I can leave one in the car, while my original, manual, PT stays at work on the computer.

(A want type thing, not a need, as I'm finding out what I really like; auto in the car means zero fumbling to get to the manual button. Too bad you don't like your 808, I really like mine, but good that you found what you do like.)

 

[Upinthehills]

The wall charger you have will work, but it will take forever. You can charge eGo/Rivas on a regular 510 charger, but you cannot charge your regular 510s on the fast charger that comes with the Riva/eGo.

The good thing about living in the Tampa area is you can stop by Totally Wicked and try different juices.
