Starter kit or advanced kit?

[SynC]

Hi guys. I decided to switch from tobacco to vape and I was wondering should I start off with simple starter kit or just buy advanced kit to save the trouble & money for the future? Starter kit is probably Kanger Evod, Mvp 2.0 or Ego Twist? For advanced, I'm looking at hcigar Nemesis series. What's the noticeable/main differences between starter and advanced especially for beginner? Need some advice. Thanks

You're comparing different types of batteries (protected vs. unprotected). Your Kanger, MVP2, and Ego Twist are all internal batteries and are protected meaning they protect against common dangers, such as overcharge, overdischarge, short-circuit (overcurrent), and temperature. These batteries are safer to use are less likely to ignite and cause personal or property damage, a phenomenon known as "venting with flame." The Hcigar Nemesis is a mechanical mod and uses external unprotected batteries that does not have the protection against the aforementioned problems and you'll need to keep a close eye on it with a voltage meter.

Mechanical mods are commonly used with RBA's and RDA's (rebuildable atty's/drippers) and can handle sub-ohms, whereas most protected mods/batteries can't use anything below 1.3 ohms. If you decide to rebuild you'll need an ohm's reader. There are ohms/voltage readers. A word of warning if you do decide to get into mechanical mods and such, do a lot of research on battery safety and guidelines. Do the same if you want to rebuild.

I hope this helps.

Ps. You can build 1.3 ohm and up atty's for use on a protected mod if you want to try it out.

For just starting off you can't go wrong with a starter kit.

I gotta recommend the MVP 2. It has a HUGE battery life compared to the evods/egos, handles all the "starter" type tanks well, and even has enough advanced features like an ohm reader and enough power to get into rebuildable atomizers. It's a pretty excellent "medium" ground between a basic starter kit and being on your way to mods like the Nemesis. Gives you all the tools to get your feet wet, but doesn't throw you in the deep end!

Ahh, thank you everyone for the replies, appreciate it. Will very likely go for the mvp 2.0

If you're switching, I'd suggest a starter kit. Depending on your habits and addiction, it might take a while before you find what works for you. I'd suggest saving some of the upfront money until you're sure of what you need. I still use my eGo starter kit (two 650 standard batteries, supplemented with 5 mT3s tanks) and I've been doing this for a month. It took me a month to quit smoking completely, but that was partly planned while I figured out nic levels, etc. Now that I know that it works, I'm beginning to plan a hardware upgrade, but aside from another (larger) battery, that's still on the horizon for me.

I think you will be impressed with the MVP2. Of note though, is that you have nothing to compare it to. Well, it is well respected as a step above a starter PV.

I started out on the cheap cigalikes and quickly moved to the ego style starter kits with 1100mah batteries. Totally happy with them but if I knew then, what I know now, I probably would have started out with the mvp2. It is awesome as far as battery life and every topper I put on it works beautifully. Good luck to you and welcome to the forum. It is so nice to have a place where you can just get any question answered and meet some really incredible people too.

However I myself have been looking into a MVP2 lol but I don't regret starting with a decent starter eGo

Personally, I would start with a Kanger evod starter kit.
It gets you going with decent performance, includes spares and backups and is pretty simple.

The nemisis you mention is a mechanical mod and really would involve a lot of learning, right off the bat.

If you want a larger form factor, a regulated mod like a MVP, Vamo or a Zmax would be a good choice also These mods have built in protections as well as a almost universal threading as they have both 510 and ego threading. allowing you to use most any topper out there.

Mechanical mods have no built in protection and can be dangerous if not used with proper safety in mind (a dead short may result in a battery venting, this is a dangerous situation.

Mech mods are really not for beginners unless you are already well versed in lithium ion battery safety and have a good understanding of ohms law.

I'll 2nd on an evod kit, I still use my evods daily, along with my PT2 minis. Use these when driving, and larger mods at home.
