Rate this Noob's First Build Kit!!!

[TheSenator]

Hello everybody, browsed for awhile and ready to make the plunge.
I want something that has enough power to provide decent vaping, but size is a concern as well. I want mine to be fairly portable. After doing a little (LOT) bit of reading, and seeing how expensive some of the "starter kits" where, I thought about building my own.
Here it is. I think I have everything, minus liquid, correct? Any suggestions to pickup other parts?
Am I totally wrong, and need to buy a starter kit?....lol

Thanks!
TOTAL: $70.08 shipped

looks like you have everything you need there. good luck on your vaping journey.
i will bet you though that once you start your gonna get hooked on trying all the different antis/carts/clearos till you find what works best for you, but it will slow down once you find your perfect fit.

 

[RickTheBeard]

oh wait you may want to get a replaceable head with a lower resistance if those are stock ego batteries otherwise you might have a hard time heating the coils.

If I were you I would go with the ego twist battery. Other than that, all seems to look ok. Price on the charger seems a bit high as well

1000mAh Twist instead would be a wise choice, or even a 900, but why not have the VV it's cheap and the best of the best in an Ego,

If you got a KGO kit with 2 batteries in it, it is $43.99 and includes the charger with wall adapter, plus 2 atomizers and 2 cones. Also, the KGO batteries are 1100 mAh and will last you alot longer and be a stronger vape. Hoosierecigsupply sells them. I have a couple of them myself.

 

[MiamiMom63]

The Ego Twist is definitely better than KGO but it will cost you a little bit more to get 2 of them

 

[mwa102464]

you get what you pay for too,,,, VV in an Ego Form factor is surely worth $23 per Batt,and the best available Batt going at this time. heck buy 4 of them and you will be set for some time, forget all about Kits, the Batts and a single charger is all you need/

 

[RickTheBeard]

as a starter though i think two 650mahs are acceptable, its what i started on in the beginning.

Yeah if you're starting fresh, it may be a good idea to have "variable" options from the get-go

The 650 twist batts I've heard are the same size as a reg 900 batt, no?
Size is a concern as I will be using the same setup in my car, at home, and out on the weekends.
I don't want something that isn't portable, and is so large it's awkward to pull out in public.

I will look for the lower resistance heads. Great point.

What if I bought (1) 1100/900 Twist for home use, and a 650 for nights out on the town???

Ego batteries do work the twist is nice for a few more dollars you can have a Lava tube Then you have Rechargeable batteries
You will be throwing away your egos in a few months having to replace them The kit you've put together is doable. But most move up to some sort of mod fairly quickly. Id do a little more research if I were you.
Having said that I started with Mall ones, went to egos, then T-Rex 900mAh LRs then VV ego style they were kind of the pre twist.
You'll be money ahead starting with something like the Lava tube.

I'd go with the Twist for sure. I'd also get both 2.4 ohm and 2.8 ohm clearo's. Being able to try diff ohms at diff volts will really let you see what you like.

 

[TheSenator]

how much longer are the twists than the normal batts? I could never find an actual measurement.

 

[SpicyMcHaggis]

My 1000mah Twist with one of the CE4's you are getting is 180mm/18cm long. Just a little bit larger around than a sharpie marker. You might get the replaceable head CE4's, that way you can see how three different ohms treat ya.

 

[kalifornia]

I can completely cuff/hide a 1000 battery in my palm. so 650s don't provide any benefit to me. and I don't have huge hands either.

 

[FlossBandit]

that wall adapter's just usb to wall.... $7.95? haha. just go on ebay and get one for like $0.99.

eGo twist is also the way to go... but i'd get a 650 in that too b/c the 1000mAh looks like a ruler.

never used a clearomizer b/c i thought they looked goofy.... but i'm sure they work.

 

[candimccann]

Yes, 650 twist is almost the exact same size as a 900 non-twist.

I am just making a wild stab here, but I think the buck-boost power regulation actually helps the batteries last longer than their non-twist siblings. I get really decent life out of my 650 twist, longer than non-twist.

 

[Kay1959]

how much longer are the twists than the normal batts? I could never find an actual measurement.

The eGo 650mAh battery is 2 3/4" tall.
The eGo 900mAh battery is 3 1/2" tall.

I don't have a Twist here....someone go measure theirs. Just the battery please.

nope. that's the regular eGo. just measured mine - 650mAh - 3.5 in.
