I play in a band 4 nights per week and a lot of people ask me about vaping...

I know there are already some great intro articles but I went ahead and put together a guide based on my experiences... since it's mainly for people that I know in person I think that there is a better chance of them converting. I'm someone they know in real life and they know I smoked a lot and they know I switched to vaping etc etc etc.

Anyway... if you have any thoughts or suggestions please let me know.... here it is:

I'm surprised noone got back to you on this. Personally I'd say that getting started order you got is a really good way to start. I'd stick with maybe ordering 2 batteries extra (per person vaping) A kit per person, and the extra attys are really important for a new vaper. (you never know if 1 or 2 will come in dead or pop really quickly) Eliquid is definitely spot on so far. That's all just my opinion though.

Other than that, Lookin good so far man! Gonna finish reading the article and I'll add more (if there is anything) via edit.

Reading more into it, the selection for the new vaper (not your kit) is a very good one, although it isn't suggested to jump right into mod territory. The feeling is a little different and to jump right in to something that feels much larger than a cig might be too much for someone who is still iffy about this whole "vaping thing". I am very glad to see you have a 510 kit as the alternative though. :)

A terminology section or glossary might be helpful if people aren't sure on certain things, but it isn't a must.

I've finished reading the guide. Overall, wonderful work sir! This is easily the most comprehensive guide I've yet seen written.

As a bit of an aside, if you wanted to try an atomizer cleaning technique that won't use up a bunch of your pg or vg, try boiling the attys for anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes. The wick inside is a material that supposedly cannot melt (can burn past 2000 degrees though) so no worries on that. Worked wonders on my attys, got all the black gunk out of em!

Sorry bout the wall of text.

Thanks for taking the time to give your feedback!

I added some notes about buying extra atomizers and a line about getting a pcc with the 510 if there is any chance of being without AC outlet access.

I also added a note to the 510 kit list emphasizing that if they wantthe size of an analog that it was the kit to get.

I do need to add a glossary... I try to slowly introduce vaping terms throughout the article but if someone jumps around in the article they might be going "what's an analog??" or something like that.

The reason I emphasized the eGo for a starter PV is because of the cone. I see a lot here that as beginners learn to top up and refill carts (or even drip), there is a tendency to flood the atty and cause leakage... I feel like the cone hides most of the mess of vaping. It seems like nic liquid on the hands can be a big turn off to a new vaper because they expect everything to just work and be easy with no mess.

Aside, I'll definitely try boiling some of my old atomizers... I was always weary of it but I see more and more people recommending it. Thanks for the tip!


Thank you for the wall of text :) your input is much appreciated!

Best,CB
