That sounds about right. Even the glass tanks I have that are US made have caps, grommets and washers made overseas.
My suggestion for a good starting point would be
2 eGo twist
2 Kanger Evods or T3s
And of course a charger unless you buy a kit that comes with them

I don't know where that figure comes from but 35.6% of all consumables purchased in the US (in 2010) were made in China, including your recommended Kangers, Vivi's and eGo's. I imagine that percentage is higher for our hobby. The only US made device that I know of is the Provari and we all know how horrible those are
. Is the AC9 machined in the US or just designed?http://www.frbsf.org/publications/economics/letter/2011/el2011-25.html
It Is Vapor doesn't seem to have that kit on their website, but they sell do sell ONE 1300mAh Vision Spinner (no kit) for $64.99 (choke!)

But what good is a ProVari without batteries, a charger, something to put the juice in - and oh yeah, where do the bottles the USA made juice goes into come from?
The easiest way to get into vaping is to use cartomizers with an ego or kgo battery. They have long life, last all day, and vape well. The cartomizers will have a certain ohm, or resistance. This needs to be properly paired with the voltage of your mod. For the ego and kgo mods i would reccommend either bogue or smoketech cartomizers with a resistance of 1.7 ohms. That will give you a great vape and all you have to do if you get a dry hit is drip a few drops of liquid in and keep goin. From there you can experiment with whats out there and going to grimmgreen's or pbusardos youtube channels will give you in depth information and unbiased information about everything in the vapeworld.
Hey Logjam. Welcome to the forum sounds like everyone here is giving you great advice. Just a heads up though, once you decide what you want to get, shop around some. You might find it cheaper somewhere else. Also I just got into making my own juice a few months ago. There's a section on here devoted just to that if ya wanna check it out. DIY E-Liquid
That sounds great! I appreciate your help. What I have learned in these few pages would have taken me months to find on my own.
Just a word of caution,and of course its my own opinion,bc there are some people who genuinely like theirs - dont get a cig-a-like just bc it looks like a cigarette and seems more simple.I paid almost $300 for a ginormous kit for my husband and I,after researching many hrs online.Unfortunately,when you do a google search on "most popular e-cig" etc,youre going to come across cig-a-like websites almost 99% of the time.I didnt even know what an ego style battery was and hadnt come across a single site suggesting them until I found this forum (after I had already ordered my cig a like kit unfortunately)
Anyways,they ended up being so horrible that we dont even use them at all now,after trying everything we could to fix the problem.And it was a V2 kit,which is one of the most popular,most advertised brands out there (especially in google searches) I thought the thousands of great reviews they had meant I was making the right decision,but I seriously regret not finding this place first!
Point being- listen to the advice youve already received and focus on learning more about the ego style batteries,probably the twist kind since its variable voltage,that way if you dont like the vape you can adjust it to suit your taste and needs.That may sound like a foreign language right now if you havent read much here yet,but I promise its super simple once you put in some time here.Ive been glued to this forum for literally HOURS a day trying to learn and absorb all that I can!

My advice is to spend some time in the forum. Check out the various categories and topics and just read, read, and read some more. There is a tremendous wealth of information here by many experienced folks. Don't let it overwhelm you, it's a lot to digest...just take it one post at a time. Get familiar with the forum search features...every question you have and will have in the foreseeable future has been answered many times in many different places here. Everyone is pretty friendly and helpful. And keep in mind that many things you'll read are subjective, such as how e-liquid tastes, and whether cartomizers are better than clearomizers. Those are things you'll have to figure out for yourself by trying different setups until you find what works best for you. And....welcome to the forum!
Hey Intelligent designer. I wish I could have read this a week ago! I ordered an eroll online last week, it should be here tomorrow. But since i'm extremely impatient, I went to a retail location and bought a ego Twist with kanger mt3 and a vivi nova!! You are right, its the best set up for a beginner. Definitely get a second battery!! mine died when i was out and i ended up smoking an analog
The only US made device that I know of is the Provari and we all know how horrible those are
Zenesis is another and I'm sure there's more.

Yes, definately have backups. Don't you dare feel bad about smoking ONE cig though! Progress not perfection! I only say this because feeling terrible about relapsing has caused many addicts (of other things) to OD because 'oh well, I already relapsed, might as well go all out'. In our case, it could easily become, 'well I already smoked one, might as well buy a pack'. Stuff happens, just be proud of yourself for being on the right track.
Best way to understand from what is the right information versus the wrong ones is by reading the posts that contains great info on what exactly you really want to input towards vaporing. I know, I've learned the hard way...

Thanks electricalsocket!! I appreciate the support!!
heres a couple of ideas for you to get you started
eGo Twist Double Starter Kit -Stainless color by Jolly

Easy to use starter kits. May be able to get for cheaper if you put it together yourself but this gives you an idea of what to get.
