Total newb, want to start Vap'ing

[gordong11]

I came across the ProVape-1 and it looks pretty cool and made in the USA. IT has a starter kit and a beginners kit, and they also sell the juice. Is the provape-1 a quality product? is there a better place or brand to buy the juice?

Thanks for the help

added i have tried the Blu disposables, like the concept hated the flavor, plus a vapor system seems much more easier on the wallet

Welcome to ECF gordong11 !

I have a ProVape 1 in my collection...it is a solid, well built product, one of the "group" that sits in front of me for daily use.
I've never had their liquid before tho.

Cool, I think im going to make the plunge, do think the starter kit or the beginner kit is better for liquid drip?

Ok, so I put 3 drops or so in the tip? where is the best place to buy liquid in your opinion?

It's a high quality e-cig no doubt about it. But it's a fixed voltage and kind of overkill for a first PV. For not that much more you can get the Provari variable voltage PV and for less you can get a good starter variable voltage PV.
I'd say buy a less expensive fixed voltage PV and save your money for a Provari or other variable voltage e-cig.
You're going to have to spend a lot of your vaping budget to find the right juice for you and for cartomizers, tanks and other stuff you can use if you decide to upgrade in the future, and you will probably upgrade.

If you decide you're happy with a fixed voltage PV you can get a lifetime model later on, and you might find one you like better and for less money. There are better fixed voltage PVs than this one out there, but there are a whole lot of less expensive ones. You probably need to do some more research.

lol...as for liquid, I 'd say hop over and read some E-Liquid Reviews...look through E-Liquid discussion...there are so many suppliers and so many flavors !

Start yourself off with sample sizes from here and there to help yourself figure out what you like. (That's the fun part !)

i hear you, but made in the usa is important to me and for $30 buck more it not too bad. Can you explain why a variable voltage is better, other than being variable, lol Thanks...does more voltage produce more vapor but use more battery, and the variable allows you to fine tune to your best setting?

If you want to drip, the starter kit comes with an atomizer. If you want to drip and not use cartomizers at all, you need more atomizers, preferably dripping atomizers. Regular atomizers aren't that good for dripping.

You should really get the beginner kit and buy separate dripping atomizers at Ikenvape.com Standard atomizers like in that kit don't last very long. They can last a month or a day. You can't rely on having just one atomizer. Get the kit with the cartomizers so you have some backup. Then get the proper atomizers for dripping elsewhere.

Mainly you can fine tune. You also don't have to worry about buying different resistance atomizers. YOu can just stick with one resistance and adjust your voltage, depending on what juice you're using at the time. More voltage can produce more vapor, but mainly it produces better vapor because you can control the heat of the coil. One flavor might taste good at 3.9 volts and another might taste weak with anything less than 4.5 volts. Variable uses slightly more battery but it depends on what voltage and resistance you use. With large batteries, it's not that big a deal.

If it's in your budget at all, I'd recommend spending the extra bucks for the Provari. You won't be sorry. Take my word for it. I usually never recommend a Provari because it turns people into Provangelists who run all over the place shouting out that everybody needs a Provari and anything else is a waste of money. If you get one, please don't become a Provangelist.

Oh yeah, one other thing. A 3.7V PV needs an atomizer or cartomizer in the 1.5 to 2.5ohm range. These are harder on a battery than a higher resistance atty or carto. A variable voltage allows you to use a 3-4ohm atty at a higher voltage. This saves strain on the battery. So even though it drains it a little faster, it's less wear and tear on the battery. And 3-4ohm attys are more rugged and last longer than low resistance ones.

I would tend to agree just because a better experience = more use, and if it becomes a waste of money, there is always ebay. The ProVari it is, they have starter kit w/ 3ohm 510 carts. the price is high but its an investment

You can't sell ecigs on eBay. But that's o.k. If you don't like it, you can sell it in the classifieds here easily. You'll like it though. No worries. That's the kit you want, with cartos. Look somewhere else if you want atty's to drip.

You probably will need at least a couple regular 3ohm atomizers anyway though. You need them to test juice. You don't want to fill a cartomizer with a juice before you know if you even like it. You can't really mix juices in cartomizers. A regular old atomizer is fine just to test juice with.

Well I ended up getting the Innokin iTaste VV on pre-order. got the starter kit and 2 flavors all for under 1 bill. We shall see how good it is, but the price seemed right. Its variable at a low price, unless crap....we shall see.
