Just put my first order in at MadVapes and i'm still hoping i ordered the right stuff to get me going.

Is all this stuff good together and will i be vaping right?

-510 Manual Battery
-smok Tech 3.2 Ohm 510 Cartomizers
-5 Volt 510 Manual USB Passthrough
-Chargers
-Juices

Hopefuly ill be fine starting off with that stuff.

Another question.... Should i also order some Atomizers or Driptips? and if so.. how do i know what atomoizers and driptips can connect to eachother? Please anyone with 510 batteries and have experience point me in the right direction.. Thanks

To me, that looks good for a start. But if your budget allows, get a second 510 manual battery; the 510 batts are notorious for their short duration before a recharge, unfortunately. There are also xl 510 batts, or perhaps called mega 510 batts, that almost double the duration but at the expense of being a bit longer. You might also eventually consider a 510 pcc (personal charging case); unless, that is, you later chose to go with eGo or Riva 510 compatible batteries which last a lot longer.
But with a 510 usb passthrough, you're good for as long as you are at a computer or near a wall outlet and have the necessary connector.
I think you are set. Do keep in mind, though, that while cartomizers can be refilled many times, it is hard to change flavors in a carto without some fiddley cleaning. Be sure you have enough cartos to match the number of juice flavors you've ordered.

Also, I would advise you get at least two different strengths - 18mg and 24mg to start - depending on what you are used to - 24 for former full flavor cigarette smokers at a pack a day or more; 18 for lights or less than a pack a day.

Oh, and you might want to get one atty and drip tip, for comparison. Any 901 or 510 drip tip will fit a 510 atty. A lot prefer dripping for the strength and clarity of the flavors that way. And atties are pretty easy to change flavors. Either rinse them and let them dry; or just change the flavor, and within a few vapes, it'll adjust.

Well thank you. I did in fact buy two 510 batteries. I will look into the mega batteries too if i do enjoy vaping and decide that it is for me. You answered my question about the atomizers before i even asked again. Thanks a lot and i will order a couple atomizers and a driptip as soon as i get my order.

I am NOT seasoned

One battery? I hope you never go out very far. 510 batteries last 2-3 hours, less if vaped heavily.

And did you get a PT AC to USB for that PT (a 2amp one or one specifically for the PT, not a battery charger USB to AC). Don't try to run a PT off a computer's USB or a battery charger AC to USB

An atty, carts, and drip tip will be a lifesaver if you run out of cartos. I'll let someone else direct you toward the right atty. I would have bought a manual Joye 510 kit.

Just to let you know in the future you can usually save some money by buying everything together in their "kits" when I first got started I bought a 510Mega kit (its like the 510battery you bought, but longer, thus nit lasts longer) I paid $60 for it, since then others have mentioned to other new comers that some sites sell them for as low as $30. But the reason to buy the kit is because you get two batteries, two atomizers, somewhere between 5-10 new cartridges, and a charger.
When I outgrew (read the batteries didn't last long enough) the 510Mega I once again bought a kit, that time it was for a Joye Ego clone. Those batteries last for 8-10 hours chain vaping like I do compared to the one hour I was getting on the other one.
But to let you know what is compatible with what. It's all in the threads. You bought a 510. So all that you have to look for is something that says 510 in the name/description. The way they sell atomizers is they list them as what is compatible with what, so it will be listed as a "510 such and such ohm atomizer" and if you are thinking of ordering some more in the future, you might as well just order a kit its not to late, and you will find yourself collecting PV'S before you know it. I'm going into my third week and I currently have 4 different models. Each one having AT LEAST 2 batteries (one has 4), and the best thing is that they are ALL 510 compatible! So if one atomizer dies, I've got plenty of backups.
Just to point you in a direction to window shop too, check out the website called "liberty flights" when you go there look in the upper left hand corner, they have a button that says 20% off. Click that before you start shopping. But go ahead and click on one of their kits called a "Riva 510". They have one model selling for $29.99, for that price you get 2 of everything that is compatible with that 510 that you just ordered. The Riva 510 is a Joye Ego clone personal vaporizer, but it is actually better then the original, the battery on that one lasts for an hour longer then the Ego. The biggest difference between that and the 510 is that it is not in the same shape as a cigarette. The Joye 510 is.
I'm more of a function over form man myself. As I said it can become addictive, and expensive. I ordered TWO Joye Ego-T kits today. One for me and one for the wife. Those models are very cool. They have a tank for the juice. No more dripping for me!
And no more leaking juice either!
Good luck, welcome to the wonderful world of vaping.
I went from smoking 3-5 packs a day to straight vaping overnight. It is a miracle, and the most amazing thing is that I DON'T MISS SMOKING. I can enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning, and I don't want to smoke.
These things are amazing.
Good luck, and welcome to the forum too!

All i got in chargers are below:

-Car Adapter for USB Chargers
-510 USB Charger


I ordered everything off of madvapes.com , I do know know what you are talking about with ac to usp for the passthrough. I sure would like to know though.. :)


Thanks for the great advice Pneathery, i will def. start buying more and better things. I thought this would be a good place to start. Money isn't a problem with this if i can quit smoking at the same time.

Thanks and This might sound stupid but..

Would that be the same as if i took my phone charger that plugs into the wall but still has a usb connection? Or will it not put out the same power?

So the pcc is a good thing to have, i'm definetly going to order one of those soon, thanks. I'm also looking at the joe ego-t and the riva 510, could any of you suggest which one is better?

It needs to be a 5 volt, 2 amp adapter.
