with that first kit you should not need a second device...I would add some more cartos and grab some juice though.

the mega eGo dual coil cartomizers from the same site would be ideal, as they are the same that come with the kit...accessory wise those come with drip tips so you shouldn't need any if those, maybe just a backup charger or perhaps a lanyard to keep it safely hung around your neck...but I prefer just running to wall mart and grabbing a hard plastic travel toothbrush holder to keep it safe, dust free, and still pocketable...but that is your call..as the kit includes a case as well.

The eGo-C Twist grows with the user. If it's too complicated then just give up now. Answer: it's not that complicated. Twisting is easy. Why buy a piece of crap that you'll need to replace, in a month or so, for want of something better?

As I've already mentioned the Kanger T2 burns your lips becase the coil is too close to the drip tip.

If you smoke a pack a day or more (of full flavor cigarettes) start with 24mg. If you smoke less than a pack of day of king sized full flavors (or a whole pack of lights) consider 18mg with a bottle of 12mg as a backup. 30ml is the minimum you'll need to start. It should last you around a week. After you've gained experience (the first day or two) immediately order more or learn how to DIY as I did and order the chems/supplies for that, and do that instead.

Adapter is spelled with an "e", not an "o".

The cheapest, and best, place to get to start getting e-juice is ECBlend.com where they have a flavor wizard where you can customize your own flavors on top of the fact that it's $8.99/30ml (the lowest price on the market).

Avoid peanut butter cookie and fruit punch flavors which taste "like chemicals".

70/30 PG/VG is, in fact, the best ratio with the widest range of applications. Ratios with higher VG tend not to wick very well in all the commercially available cartomizes/clearomizers (such as the eGo Vision Clearomizer, Vivi Nova Mini, Boge cartomizers).

Wall adapters are better than standard USB only chargers because, if something goes wrong, as you are plugging it in to a desktop (and even more so with a laptop) the damage it could cause from a short, etc... is worth far more than the price of the adapter. I am an IT professional by trade and I can tell you for a FACT that USB voltage output, especially from the frontpanel USB ports, is sketchy at best. Better to get a wall adapter, or to plug it into the (now commercially available) outlets that have USB onboard, or also car lighter USB adapters, than to charge from a computer itself.

Adaptor can be spelled with an e or with an o, It varies country to country.

JoyTech eGo fires @ 3.3 volts and the Kgo fires @ 3.7 volts- come in 650, 900 or 1100 mah depending on the manufacturer- most popular 510 threading/ connection and are manual. I own a Kgo and I LOVE it. Have used the JoyTech eGo and prefer the Kgo because of the higher voltage.
eGo Starter Kit cost anywhere from $50- $80.
Kgo starter kit costs about $40-$50:
KGO kit1100mAh by SLB
I have distributed over 100 Kgo Starter Kits over the past 11 months and the failure rate on the batteries is less than 2%...4 batts out of 200+ batts.
.

Mini Variable Voltage PVs
I own the 650 mah Kgo VV, 650 and 1000 mah Twist and 2 X 1300 mah Spinners. 100 mah= 1 hour normal vaping- less if you're vaping at a higher voltage.

Kgo VV- only comes in 650 mah- I find battery life is a problem.

Twist comes in 650, 900 and 1000 mah. Dial very narrow/ smooth and not easy to turn. Voltage numbers very hard to read/ invisible. Button occasionally sticks.

Vision Spinner comes in 400, 650, 900, 1100 and 1300 mah. Wide knurled voltage dial easy to turn and easy to read voltage markings. 1300 mah Spinner is a smaller size than the 1000 mah Twist.

I owned the Twists and now use them as backups because the dial was hard to turn and I could not clearly see the voltage markings.
1300 mah Vision Spinner- 113mm or ~4.4 inches long; 16MM WIDE, 2MM WIDER THAN A STANDARD EGO
1000 mah Twist- Length 120mm(4.75")/Diameter 14mm

Stardusts...unfortunately some bought the earlier version- at that time the Stardusts and the Vivi Nova were having serious cracking and wicking issues. I did not purchase them until they resolved these issues and have enjoyed using both BUT the Vivi Novas are of far superior build quality and offer a better draw.

All 7 of my Kgo and VV PVs are metallic finish and look great. No scratches whatsoever.

you don't score yourself points trying to sell a product that you distribute...only kind of comes off as bias :p

....while I like the KGO...the kit I suggested with the pass through bats has been my new go-to recommended kit because I've found the KGO units do not last nearly as long, and if you want the pt you get a vv one with a crappy button.

It's because I run a large non profit vape program through a charity I have been with/ volunteered at for a long time. Lottsa of time spent setting up and running this program and not a dime in my pocket.

TO be honest I don't know where to start so many brands!!! Almost went with prosmoke now after looking around I'm lost?
Someone give me some good info on brands ect.. for someone new to get started. I'm a half to a pack a day newport smoker.
Thanks
Chris

If you can find either disposable or rechargable e-cigs at a local gas station or drug store, that makes an excellent place to start, as the little disposables are about $10 and a rechargable starter $15-20... I started that way in between packs until I finally commited to a quit date. This will buy you some time to explore this site and the myriad of online vendors, and maybe even find a local e-cig reseller in your area. Then you can buy something a little bigger/better... I probably lingered on the rechargables a little long from a $$ financial standpoint, but it was still much cheaper and better for me than real ciggies... Good Luck!

I went with a ego t also some Cartomizers and some extra ego t carrtriges. I here the cartomizers are better?

Should be a good starting point for you. What size battery on the ego-t ? I started with a ego-t clone in a big 18650 (1600-2000mAh), which the battery lasts me several days.
