Ready to make my first purchase, just a couple of final questions.

Hey Rob JUDGEMENT is correct. That kit you have listed is not joyetech. Might be okay don't know it. Other good stuff out ther but I can recommend joyetech. You can get the genuine joyetech at these sites in the US cheaper. Not sure about the shipping though.


Electronic Cigarette | E Cigarette | The Digital Cig
Electronic Cigarette, E Juice, Replacement Parts, Accessories
Come to mind. There are others.
Went to JOYETECH corporate website. This link will take you a place you can find authorized Canadian vendors.
Joyetech brand offline electronic cigarette shops

Yeah, after Vapoor Eyes er told me about the leaking problem I immediately changed my mind on that kit. I'll probably go with the one he/she recommended instead. eGo Vision Stardust & Extreme Vision Custom Kit 1100mAh Black or Silver

Leaking sounds really annoying and like something that would be a hassle.

Bigger batts will last longer for sure. Don't know that kit and haven't tried the stadust but they are very popular here. I have tried the Kanger T2, Vivi Nova, Kanger bottom coil clearo, kanger 510 clearo. Out of that group I like the T2 the best.
The leaking is a pain but the flavor is probably the best. For me anyway. I still use the originals a lot.

Edit= That kit looks interesting and the price is good. Might check if the batts wil take a 510. Hard to tell from the picture. Can probably get an adapter for a couple of bucks if you need it later.
Good luck

I meant it how I said it. You will find there is quite a bit of tinkering with your devices involved in the whole experience and it seems like you are already thinking like a true vaper! You don't even have the device yet and you are already thinking of ways to mod it to best suit your needs!

Haha, awesome. I was saying on a different thread that I'm a total tech nerd and love to mod my toys. A fun Saturday for me is anything from modding a PS3 to trying to stuff a bigger battery into one of my R/C toys . Yeah, I'm a little boring like that.

Until I started looking into ecigs 2-3 days ago I'd never even imagined that there would be so much variety, and such a huge community, around this stuff. TBH - I thought the only ecigs you could get were the ones that I vaguely remembered seeing 4-5 years ago that just looked like a cig with a changeable cartridge on the end. It's been a pleasant surprise . So yeah, I can definitely see myself tinkering in the future, but for now my goal is to get off the analogues with the help of some fine new technology.

Thanks Apptiger, i was looking for something with more capacity then the Vision v2 clearomizer and someone put a link to Vapingme with Kanger T2 and heads for .99. And since they had 25 dollar and over free shipping, i figured, why not give it a try. Day 1 but i like it so far.

I don't like the looks of that kit at all. Stardusts (vision clearomizers) are not wonderful inventions. Plus you'll want a twist not a standard ego and it doesn't matter if it's made by Joyetech or not. From talking to my buddies who own ecig businesses they have all told me that the one thing they haven't gotten a lot of returns on is the EGO Twist knockoffs.

I could sit here and re-type the same stuff or you could just check out my blog, The Vaper's Handbook, and save me some typing.

The E1-V from discountvapers has more capacity than any of the other mini tanks and it also doesn't require a cone thread collar/sleeve to look good because it comes included on the tank. Plus they have better flavor than the Vivi Nova Mini at the same price.

E1 / E2 / E3 (Apollo and Revive)

Thanks ShogaNinja, but, i think rob79 has already bought and im happy with what i got for now....can't buy everything known to man....wouldn't be frugal. I actually watched the video that you linked too and decided to try the Kanger somewhat based on what i saw there. I don't think there is any need for "cone thread collar/sleeve" with the Kanger t2 as it fits and looks just fine on my Joyetech eGo batteries.......though it should be noted that it doesn't connect with the "510" threads, but rather the outside ego "skirt" threads. I've been vaping quite heavy for a couple hours now{just made my first perfect reciepe of e-liquid} and i haven't been able to get the mouthpiece to hot{my only concern after watching the video}.
