Suggestions for newbies

[Kycap]

When i started into the e-cigs i bought the usual papershop/garage lookalikes and found them wanting and very expensive, i graduated to ego's etc then decided to take the leap to a Vamo & carts now with tanks etc. So not knowing any different or seeing this thread/forum I spent way more than i would on my usual roll ups. i now know better. But i have kicked the habit only to aquire a new one, must say though - im loving it. I imagine that pretty soon i will go Provari or something very similar.

My advice to newbies is - do the research and save a whole lot of £'s or $'s and bypass the local shop bought lookalikes.

Bump.

I'm pretty sure what he's saying is..."Don't make the same mistakes I did."

LOL...can I get an "AMEN"?

 

[astounded]

I want a vamo for my birthday too...

have you seen anywhere that sells the little ego clippy for lanyards? I wanted to make my own beaded lanyard or something
or sew one. or knit one.

I got one from canvape but I'm sure you can find them on a US site as well. There is a little kit (think its called Crystal but let me know if you want specifics & I'll go look) that has a keychain ego, lanyard and clip etc and their clip and lanyard is nicer than any of the others I have - sturdier thread attachment. I don't have anything fancy but I live with the ecigs on lanyards 'cause if I put them down I never remember where!

Out of stock but - eGo Lanyard with Ring Clip

I wasn't calling her ugly and unattractive....used the word wrong, ur right. She's fine tho lol, in my contacts and pm's me so there's that.

I wrote my opinion and said it was my opinion repeatedly, there's no sales pitch lol - buy what I recommend or don't it makes no difference to me - I just suggested what I personally like is all and I made it a point to say that over and over, IMO is in that post maybe ten times. There's a whole bunch of straight information posts around here and I was just trying to give ppl direction by expressing my own take on everything and I recommended specific products because they're what I've used and liked personally is all. Take it or leave it.

you called me homely! **runs away crying** kidding.

Lol it's cool I think it was supposed to be a compliment xD

The dumb lanyard ring clip keeps pushing my button stuck down. what am I doing wrong!!! arghhh

 

[darkhood]

It's supposed to go around the button, that's what the opening is for...

 

[cherrycakes]

It goes around the button but when I press the button the metal part keeps the button from releasing....

It's not a clip on it's like a metal bead...

don't tell me i got the wrong kind, sigh

 

[darkhood]

oh that sucks, the one i have doesnt have that little arc over the button it's cut off completely like in a c shape. cut that thing off w/ a dremel.

 

[cherrycakes]

yea I knew it! I bought the wrong one.
It's stupid. I've tried it on like every single battery and it just holds the button down until the 5 sec protection goes off, it blinks 5 times, and then dies >.>

I'm just going to knit a lanyard.
or buy one of that creepy guy from the taryn spin video's vapor 4 life ones.
lol




kidding, those lanyards are ugly

You must stop posting these videos all over my threads...it's invasive and this guy is bonkers outta his mind gone and I will have no more of your constant thrusting of him in my grill. That sounded kinda perverse but I assure that wasn't my intent. S**t I've been up for 40 hours and am clearly delirious....ignore me.

only thing I would edit on your OP is

I would NEVER recommend anyone buy anything from Vaporbreak....take a look at their FB page.
Vision makes SOME good stuff I am a fan of the V Nova...but the clearomizers suk and are notorious for leaking and getting the insulators burnt very quick.

other than that, awesome post...wish i would have had that info when i started 2 years ago ...could have saved me a few hundred bucks at least.

 

[darkhood]

Yea, I can't edit the post anymore but I realized weeks ago that site is in china lol/ Thanks though, much appreciated

I found that starting with 2 eGo Twist 1000mAh and some Vivi Novas (mini or normal) does the trick for beginners (also: don't forget some cones for the pretty). You have variable voltage and if you want to start rebuilding, you can learn on the vivis!
If you want to go on to genesis, the next step would be the inexpensive aga-s.
While you're learnin the ropes, buying expensive attys does not make sense and later on you can always use them to teach a friend...
cheers!

Hey mods is there any way this could get like some better placement maybe...I really think it could help a lot of ppl...it also took me like an hour and a half to type...I feel neglected

Lots of newbies like myself have read your post and found it to be extremely helpful.

Thanks for the info. Your time was not wasted.

 

[Marredding]

Very helpful post. In started with 510s and just ordered a vamo. Loving the Kanger t3s

 

[darkhood]

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Glad I helped some ppl. ^^ just got a protank which is awesome so I ordered an evod and some heads. Def liking the bottom coils better...wish I could edit my OP.

 

[LoriP1702]

*Bump* and ? - I like a warm, thick, (not airy) vape....still learning all the proper terms...
So as long as I stay with bottom coil varieties for the devices that go on top of the power source...LOL....atomizers, carto tanks, I'll get my warm vape - mixed with any of the "bottom" devices (power sources) you've recommended here.

 

[LoriP1702]

Hoping that made sense...
