You can always stock up on those after you get your stuff.... The only thing you HAVE to get (other than the kit) is the juice... that way you can get used to all of it. You should have enough carts(cartridges) and atty's to get you through and give you time to reorder later. There are a number of suppliers who sell samples of their juice so have fun with it... I can't believe the flavors I love that sounded so gross to me until I tried them. :)

just dont get the RY4 from lite cig usa. it was downright nasty, ive put many things in my mouth that the doctor wouldnt recommend but that ry4 juice from them was like vaping some kind of cleaning solution. i have heard good reviews of the ry4 juice so next time i will read more opinions so i can get it from the same place as them. remember, ry4 does not taste the same from every vendor.

and yes, that is all you need to get started but eventually you will have to re-order stuff.

Its quality v quantity dilema. Why don't you go after a decent one like Green Smoke or BluCigs. They are very solidly built and have a steady long battery life. They cost more, but they work better. I know for green smoke that you can return them if they do not work. Just google for green smoke reviews, I sure you'll find plenty of information.

The Riva/eGos are full of quality and quantity compared to either of the brands mentioned above. They are great, solid starter kits. I feel no need to move onto a mod myself because they are inexpensive and reliable, however, if someone was willing to pay the extra money for a blu or greensmoke I would highly suggest they invest in a good mod for the same price.

Exactly. I have a few mods but still vape regularly with my Riva and my eGo.

Must be someone spamming. If you have either of those brands and you like it, good for you. If you don't, don't even think about buying either of them. You can get a lot better for a lot cheaper.

Lobanw, GreenSmoke and Blu are not quality ecigs. Greensmoke is just another Chinese model E9 (aka KR808D-2) and it's, for some reason, the favorite of unscrupulous rebranders who want to lock you into their insane prices for supplies. It is incompatible with the more popular 2-piece KR808D-1 model, and of lesser quality. GS and Blu are heavily promoted on the Web and in kiosks (to unsuspecting customers who are looking for help with quitting smoking) by the clever affiliates system. The affiliates are people who give glowing testimonials and get paid for bringing in new customers.

The worst part of this scheme is the price. Both GreenSmoke and Blu (and all of their relatives, like Smoke51, Luci etc.) sell the batteries for $50, which is really criminal. Those E9 batteries should not cost more than $10-15. If you really like GreenSmoke and want to use it, let me tell you that you can buy the same batteries and cartos (E9 or kr808D-2) for a fraction of the price at LeCig. They sell E9 (kr808D-1) batteries for $10-13, cartomizers for $10. Same stuff that GreenSmoke sells.
