You're link isn't showing because ECF has blocked it...obviously for good reason and that should be a red flag in itself. eGo tanks systems are notoriously famous for leaking issues...be forewarned. Try and find an ECF listed vendor to buy from.

say i go for the EGO-T

do these http://www.........../shopping/products/15-Prefilled-E-Cartridges/558-Eliq-Cart-for-Ego-T/

come pre-filled?

if so,what flavor strength/liquid base would you suggest for a first timer?

i think i will just wait till this afternoon till i get a blu,probably not a good product to base off of whether or not i will like E-Cigs,but its all i have around here to try.

I guess i'll have to go take a look at that mistic,i'm kind of excited about this,been wanting to stop smoking(slowly) for a while now,and moving to New Zealand in a month or so paying $15+ for a packet of cigarettes is outrageous lol

Thank you all for your advice,ill keep checking in too see what other options people post,and will post back here when i get my e-cig later on today,and also let you know on what one i choose to order.

The ego-t is a bit of a marketing gimmick. It is just an ego battery with a proprietary "tank" juice delivery device attached, which many here say does not work so great (never tried it myself).

If you get a kgo you can buy clearomizers for it that should perform better than the ego-t "tank" system.

Beside the kGo kit you need: e-liquid & cartomizers

E-liquid: This is matter of opinion. Get small 5ml samples and just see what you like. 18 to 24mg of nicotine to start out with. I suggest 70 to 80% PG mix. Lower the pg and it will reduce throat hit and mute flavors to small degrees, provide more vapor clouds. Higher pg and can cause throat discomfort (especially 100% pg). Some people can't vape any PG due to allergies.

Cartomizers: I suggest Boge LR 2.0 ohm cartomizers or Smok Tech XL 1.7 Ohm single coil.

There are many alternatives besides cartomizers. There are clearomizers and tanks. So many you can't try them all without going broke. Some like the Stardust/Vision/E-turbo type clearomizers.

All of the kits recommended will come with either cartomizers or clearomizers. I personally like the clearomizers because they are easy to fill and clean. Order some sample sized juices when you order your kit.

I do know that the kit from DCV come with cartomizers inside the kit but they are worthless. Those get tossed in the trash. The other vendors I have not seen their kits.

I tried a few different "cigarette" ecigs for the first year of vaping. I highly recommend ego-t. You won't find a small ecig that can match it when you consider battery life, ease of use, and flavor. Even though I have moved to variable voltage mods and tanks, I still use my egos with 901 attys for dripping (find a drip shield :))

so basically when i get a Kgo,besides the liquid Dekang E-Juice 18mg

what else do i need?

To start out, nothing else. But like wseyller posted, you may find after a while that you want better juice delivery devices. The boge cartomizers her recommended are very good. The Vision Stardust clearomizers are also well liked. I started with the Stardusts from the Sweet Vapes kit, and they have worked well for me. But now I have moved on the Phoenix or CE3 bottom coil clearomizers. They work better. But just get a starter kit and some juice to get your feet wet.

how long would a bottle of Dekang E-Juice 18mg last?

I guess most people starting out use 2 - 4 ml of juice a day. So a 10 ml bottle may last 2.5 - 5 days. A 30 ml bottle, much longer. But try smaller bottles at first. You may hate the flavor of one juice and love another. I have a ton of little bottles right now. My desk looks like a chemistry lab.

If you're ordering from Hoosier you'll need some cartomizers. I've also heard that Dark City cartos aren't good. Also need a 510 drip tip.

If you go with the clearomizer kit from Sweet Vapes, you won't have to order cartomizers or drip tips.

You have gotten a lot of good advice, the choice is yours.
