You will for sure need more cartridges and atomizers or cartomizers depending on which you decide to go with. You will also need a decent assortment of different juices with different strengths. I would suggest a pass through if you use your computer a lot. Other than that you should be set.

Good luck and good choice with the ego. I love mine and I'm sure you'll love yours too.

Welcome to ECF, you have made a good choice with the ego, as mentioned,
juices of different flavors, nic levels and pg/vg mixes,
perhaps try differnt styles of atties..lr,hr, mega or carts, filled or not
and while standard ego batts are great at 650mha, there are 1300mha out now
whatever you do, enjoy vaping and ask here with any questions :)

Hi, and welcome to ECF. The eGo is a good unit and you can't go wrong with it. I'd suggest ordering enough juice to last a couple of weeks. Get a few different flavors and strengths so you can find out what flavors you like and what strength works for you. I wouldn't order too much until you know what you like. Most people use about 2-3 ml/day so figure about 60 to 90 ml for the 2 of you. I'd also order a couple of extra atomizers in case one dies on you. If you're going to use cartridges order a couple boxes of those too, if you want to use cartomizers a box will probably do. Personally I'd order a drip tip too, they're cheap and work great for trying different juices.

I second the passthrough suggestion.

Get at least two extra atomizers for each of you, and several small bottles of e juice of various nic levels. everyone is different when it comes to nic levels so dont get frustrated if you're not getting satisfied at low nic levsl. Just up your level until you are and be sure to read Understanding Your Symptoms While Adjusting To Vaping .

Good luck and happy vaping!

I would go to a juice supplier, like FreedomSmokeUSA and buy several small bottles - 3ml or 5ml - of different flavors that you think you might like - the more the better - and, when you find a couple that you like, order 30ml of each for your daily vaping. Selecting a good juice is time consuming, and is generally trial and error. If you are not sure what to try, call David or Pam at FSUSA, and they will be glad to help you out. Their juices are the best, and their service, and customer relations is the best.

Here's what you NEED:

*eGo starter kit(s) with two batteries, two atomizers and a charger -- each.
*at least 30mL of assorted juices in different strengths and mg's of nicotine -- each.

Here's what you WANT (in addition to the above -- each):

*drip tips: easy way to use your eGo without messing with carts/cartos... just drip and vape.
Mods - Drip Tips
*blank cartomizers: a cartridge with an atomizer built right in... holds more juice and easy to use.
Electronic Cigarette - Cartomizers - 510 Cartomizer
Electronic Cigarette - Cartomizers - Joye eGo Cartomizer
*eGo passthroughs: saves your battery when you are near a computer or any electrical outlet. It's like being able to plug in your eGo.
Electronic Cigarette - Pass-throughs - Joye eGo

You might want some storage solutions too:

Thank you everybody. I am trying to soak up all this info. Just a bit over welmed so many parts and pieces and abbreviations that I don't understand. Like pass thru?

A pass thru is a device that's connected to a usb port that replaces the need for a battery by drawing power from the usb port via a cable.

I went through more than 60mL of juice in the first 10 days after I started vaping. I placed orders at two other juice suppliers and discovered their juice was weak, with little to no throat hits. So, then I had to hurry and reorder from my favorite juice supplier and then wait five days to receive that order. Received that order today, so I'm finally getting throat hits (and satisfaction) again.

By the way, my favorite juice supplier sells 120mL bottles for about 75% of the cost of four 30mL bottles, so I'll be ordering 120mL bottles from now on.

My setup is shown below, but I recently ordered two more passthroughs from madvapes.com (the 5V 510 kind), plus a 2amp car adapter and two 2amp wall adapters. I won't be plugging my passthroughs into my computers anymore after I receive that order.

Good luck and happy vaping!

You definitely need some spare atomizers and then a good supply of Juices. The hardest part for me was/is finding the perfect liquid. Order some 3ml-5ml samples from different suppliers. Freedomsmokeusa comes to mind. Vapor station has a 10 pack of samples (you choose the flavor and strength) for $25 plus shipping. But VS ships in these odd glass vials that are a bit cumbersome and messy.

Most other suppliers use plastic squeeze bottles. Much easier to use.

If you decide to go with attys, as opposed to cartomizers, and it you decide to use cartridges with your attys instead of drip tips, I highly recommend that you mod that cartridges because the stock filler in them is awful. Just search for "pyramid teabag mod" and/or "blue foam mod". These are the 2 cartridge mods I've tried and they both work well. There are other cartridge mods as well. Good luck!
