Heck I'm thinking of ordering 3-4 types and just playing with all of them! ;-) I do have a quick question though - what's the difference between an eGo and an eGo-T? Just curious - I was looking at the Joye page earlier and wasn't sure?
Total Newbie and taking the plunge - ordering today! Assistance needed with a few ?s though - Thanks!

Most kits will come with atomizer and carts. The carts are low capacity and require constant toping off/filling. The cartomizers are a cart and atomizers in one unit. They generally are of higher capacity so you have to fill them less often. They are also less expensive and are considered more or less disposable. They will last several days before you have to pitch them. And also get one or more drip tips. While you can use cartomisers without drip tips, a DT makes it more comfortable. You can also use drip tips on atomizers if you drip.
Here's the website for Liberty Flights. Click on the 20% off button at the top left. Scroll down to Starter Kits and hit the Riva. Your husband at the least would like a Riva with low resistance cartomizers.

about 350 mah! Actually if you are talking about just the battery than that is it, it is the life of the battery . The EgoT usually comes in a kit with a tank system. From what I have heard they are hit or miss.
Vapor Station has a good sampler- 50 ml of juice for $25. Get the same juice in a couple different strengths for him.

An ego T- has an atomizer and tank setup. You fill the tank with juice and place it on the tank atomizer. Some people like them. I wasn't a huge fan because I had issues with the tank.
One more thing with Juice, realize you will have allot of hit an misses. What tastes good to one does not always tastes good to another. It really is hit or miss. It is usually best to look for 3-6ml samples of juices and try them first.
eGo kits come with regular atomizers and carts. eGo-T kits come with tank atomizers and carts. eGo-T batteries also have a shut-off: you quickly press the button several times to turn the battery off. This way if you place it in your pocket the battery will not accidentally fire. Not sure id regular eGo batteries have that feature.
Yes, I think the Riva is for him. I'm looking at the site now though and trying to figure out - what is "dual coil" and is that important? Also, these all say: "This kit DOES NOT come with a US usb mains plug." - Huh? It comes with a USB fast charger, but what does "US usb mains plug" mean? And do I need that, too?
(Hope these questions aren't driving y'all nuts!)
The dual coil cartomizers are low resistance and you get a good vape with them.
The ecig battery fits into the USB fast charger, then you can charge it on your computer or get a wall charger and plug it into your wall outlet. That's how I charge my batteries- with the wall outlet.
Battery + USB charger + wall (USB mains plug).
Don't worry about questions- none of use were born knowing this stuff!

Not sure about the usb plug. The fast charger is a charger though that plugs into the usb port of the computer. Dual coil, single coil, high res and low res all refer to ohms or potential heat output.
Your standard is 2.5-3 ohms of resistance. These are usually pretty cool vape.
Low resistance is usually 1.5 - 2.0 ohms. Little hotter vape, lower battery life. These are used to simulate 5 volt vaping experience.
Dual Coil - Has two coils that usually have a similar experience to low resistance atomizers and heat production. Popular in cartos because I assume it heats the juice more evenly than a single coil carto. There are very few dual coil atomizers(Can only think of one).

The "US usb mains plug" is a transformer you plug into a 110V wall socket and then plug the USB charger into it. You can pick that up separately for a few $ from Liberty Flights.
A dual-coil cartomizer has two coils inside - most regular cartos and atomizers only have one coil. With two coils, the carto will give twice the amount of vapor of a single coil of the same resistance. IIRC each coil on the duals is 3 ohm and the combination is 1.5 ohm resistance.

Battery info as it relates to single coil and dual coil:
100 mah= 1 hr vaping on a single coil
100 mah= 1/2 hour on a dual coil and is a warm/ hot vape.
Many like Dual Coils because it simulates a higher Volt vape. I use Smoketch Mega DC 1.5 but I'm using large batts. I like the fact they take 60 drops of juice and I'm not constantly filling the cartomizer. You may also want to make sure you have some attys for testing out juices as sometimes once a cartomizer is used it retains the taste of that juice.
Good Luck, Vapoor.

And if you drip without a shield, dont forget the roll of paper towelling!!!!
It really all boils down to heat.

Depends on how often he vapes. I drip so do not have allot of experience with cartomizers, but I have noticed that heavy caromizer users usually prepare several them to use through out the day. Once you get familiar with basic cartomizers you can start to look at tanks, which is a liquid dispersal system for cartomizers that can usually hold between 2-5 ml of juice. They are still somewhat new, but more sights are starting to carry affordable tank models, like the smoketech tanks that are only 11 bucks or the cyclone tank that is 14 bucks.
I vape exclusively on cartos and fill it maybe twice per day. Many will fill cartos with specific flavors for specific times of the day. If cartos are filled for later use remember to place the condoms/ end rubber tubes on them when storing. Some spend 5-10 minutes each day pre filling their cartos.
Just curious, is there a reason for storing them that way. My wife forgets to do this all the time, and she never complains.
It's supposed to keep them "fresh" and as I've been told some of the ingredients will evaporate quicker than the others. Just what I've been told and sometimes I won't use a carto for a week and then I'm very glad I capped it but if no complaints from your wife than it's all good.
What I meant is that since the eGo is 3.4v your giving yourself less room for error compared to a 3.7v. A lot of LR attys/ cartos are not really supposed to be used on an eGo because the resistance is too low. Alot of people do it anyway and some never have a problem but I also know a few people that ruined their eGO batteries using a carto with too low of a resistance. I'm not saying the eGo is a bad PV bc it's not at all. I just feel the 3.7v PVs give you a wider range of SR and LR attys/cartos you can use.
And yes LR attys/cartos will generally give you more vapor and better throat hit.
I feel that the E-Power is more cost efficient than an eGo/riva because every part of it can be bought seperAtely. Also if uses non-proprietary batteries which are cheaper and last longer before they need to be replaced. With a riva or ego, if your switch(button) breaks or stops working, you need to buy the entire piece again because the tube, switch and battery are all one piece. With the E-Power, if your switch stops working, you can buy just the switch and keep using your existing tube and battery. With the E-Power, the tube, switch, and battery are 3 seperate pieces that can all be individually replaced. EPower batteries cost$4 to replace and you replace just the battery. The eGo/riva batteries cost $14-20 bc when you need a new battery your replacing the tube and switch also.
I think the EPower from CCV would be good for you because your getting free cartomizers and juice too,
The Ressurector cartos ud get are 1.7ohm LR and they hold 2ml of juice. I use them daily and they are incredible. They produce a ton of vapor and i think will give you the throat hit you want. They really hit well on the ePower too.
Regardless of which you decide, I feel your been given a ton of really good information from everyone to get you started with the right kit. Everyone has their own preferences (as you can see) and I thing ud be really happy with the EPower, or if not that another 3.7v, the Riva, but I also know plenty of people that love their eGos. Either way you go, your headed on the right direction!!
Goodluck with everything!
