Hello and welcome to the forum JHenson. Glad to have you here!:)

If you are looking for a setup here are some possible options for you to consider:

A variable v/w (twist/spinner) is usually recommended over a "non variable" v/w battery. It allows you to adjust your settings to get a better "vape". Some flavors taste better at higher voltages than 3.7v

1. JoyeTech Ego-C Twist
2. Vision Spinner
3. Innokin iTaste vv v3 or v4
4. Innokin iTaste MVP v2 (or even better an MVP 20 watt)
5. eLeaf iStick (20 watt) or iStick (30watt)

The first 3 are fall into the "ego style" category of battery (with variable voltage). They range in size from 600mah to 1300mah. The higher the mah the longer the battery will last between charging.

The 4th & 5th ones are a step up from an "ego style" battery in that they are smaller variable v/w box mods with a very big battery (2400-2600mah). It will last many vapers a whole day before it needs recharging. The MVP is probably one of the most popular batteries for someone upgrading from an "ego style" battery. The iSticks are also very popular.

I suggest buying only name brand Joyetech Twist or Vision Spinner ego batteries if you choose to go this route. BTW, "ego" is merely a type of battery, not a brand name. Buying "generic" ego batteries is always going to be hit or miss...mostly miss.

You will also need to purchase a tank (the juice attachment) and extra coils. The mini Nautillus, mini Aerotank or regular size Aerotank (all made of glass & all have adjustable airflow control) are very popular.

Why would you want a glass tank (you may be thinking to yourself)? Here is a great resource regarding "tank cracking" eliquid by ECF member Baditude: Something Safe for Cinnamon and Citrus Flavors

Hey what's up man? I'm also from the Nova area and also RVA area, you should visit a local vape shop or an Avail Vapor shop. I highly recommend Avail because they have a great variety of juices and they're really helpful and knowledgeable with vapes, mods, and anything that you name. I don't think there are many Avails up in northern VA because it was a small company that started out in richmond but there is one for sure in Manassas, so you can always go there if its not too far for you. Good luck man!

Hey jhenson. I live in Nova. Purchased my first mech mod and rda from Liberty Vapors in Ashburn. They only sell authentics so you might have to fork over a few extra bucks. All of the employees are awesome and they will teach you everything you need to know. Great selection of juice too. My Vapez in Manassas is also a good shop and has a better lounge area with a pool table and big screen. Those are the only 2 I've been to in the area but haven't been disappointed.

So I am new to vaping and looking for good places to buy mods and juices. Also wondering if anyone knows of a good place to meet up with other vapors to learn more about how to use and build mods without using the an atomizer that uses to low ohms for the batteries to be safe. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi From Frederickburg VA! we have a few shops here in the Burg, the best one is in Old Town. I know of one located in Prince William but I was not too fond of them IMO.
