What E-Cig for a beginner?

[wseyller]

I'm guessing 2.5ml per day is average for a person. Some people use 1.5ml and some use 5ml or more. So 50ml should last a while. The only downside is if you find you don't like that liquid your stuck with a large bottle of toilet water. Then you have to quickly place an another order while you try to get by.

If you go with sweet-vapes you need to buy an atomizer for testing juices.

it says it comes with 6 pre-filled cartridges? are they no refillable,or are they just horrible to use?

True. But I just ordered two extra clearomizers and use them for testing. I wash them out if I don't like the juice. There are so many options!

They are refillable.

Here's a video that may help

Edit: Sorry, I thought the Hoosiers kits had cartomizers, not separate cartridges and atomizers. Sailorman is right. He steered me to my KGO kit.

 

[sailorman]

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

what else do i need?

To get started with the kit from Hoosier. (throw out the included pre-filled cartridges and keep the atomizers to test new juices with).

All you need besides your juice is a box or two of 1.7ohm-2ohm single coil cartomizers and a drip tip or two. Choose any drip tip labeled as a 510 size that strikes your fancy.

You will use the drip tip on the end of the atomizer when you test juice, and on the end of the cartomizers as a mouthpiece and to make it easy to "top off" the juice in the cartomizer.

You can't mix different flavors in a cartomizer, so if you test the juice by dripping it straight into the atomizer, you won't end up filling up a cartomizer with a juice you don't even like.

Juice is a subjective thing. Buy as many small, 5-10ml, bottles as you can and test them with your atomizers. When you find one you like, use it to fill a cartomizer and buy a larger quantity of it. Don't start off with large bottles of juice you don't know about. Look for sample sizes or sample packs from various vendors.

i feel like a nuisance because i really have no idea what im doing atm and am asking alot of questions =P

will these work with the Kgo? Prefilled 510 cartridges, round tip , and are these filled?/how long will one of these last?

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

Then you'd better tell her to buy extra clearomizers because they have to dry out before they're used again. It's common practice to use atty s for testing juices as you can dry burn/ clean attys and immediately re use them.

True. But I just ordered two extra clearomizers and use them for testing. I wash them out if I don't like the juice. There are so many options!

Do not use the 6 pre-filled cartridges. They aren't the same thing as cartomizers. They work bad, taste worse, and are horrible to use. They are intended to plug into the atomizer. To refill them with good juice is a waste of good juice.
Cartridges became obsolete the day cartomizers were invented. Anyone who has been vaping for more than a couple years can tell you how bad they are and how we tried a million different things to make them work better.

Toss them in the nearest trash can. China got stuck with a trillion of them and they just put them in every box that leaves the country.

BTW, the eGo-T works on the same principle, but with a facelift and a new name, "tank". They can disguise it with a new name, but it's still a cartridge/atomizer system and it's not much better than the old system we all hated a couple years ago.

You're not a nuisance. People here are happy to help, and sailorman, vapoor eyes er, and wseyller know their stuff.

The only problem which I don't like about ordering the kgo from Hoosier is that they laser etch their logo on it. I did however look at sweet-vapes and their options look nice. Many colors to choose from and different kit options. I saw one option that comes with V2 vision clearomizers and a zipper case. Some kits have dual coil cartomizers and also a kit with atomizers.

Depends on your definition of "work". They work terrible. They are the same thing that is included in the kit. Do NOT buy them. Don't even use the ones that they give you for free. Shame on Brent for even selling these things in the first place. If you can make them work, they don't last very long anyway. Maybe 20 minutes before they start burning.

Don't even consider them. Cartomizers are easy to fill, last longer and work better. Get a couple boxes of blank cartomizers and fill them yourself. There are a million videos on Youtube to show you how. Search for the "condom method". It's simple and easy and quick. It doesn't involve condoms. Those protective silicon caps on the end of a cartridge or cartomizer are called "condoms". You can use them to fill a cartomizer.

Get a box of Boge 2ohm cartomizers and a box of Smoketech 1.7ohm cartomizers. That's all you need besides juice. Also get a 510 drip tip.

may be a bit to much to ask,but if someone could please post links to everything i need.

a Kgo, cartomizers, 18mg+ tobacco flavored juice, and a drip tip,and whatever else is needed.

would be greatly appreciated

All I can say is that I started with V2cigs and unless things have changed -the battery life is poor. The connection is 808 threaded which doesn't leave a lot of options for new equip. I have also seen quite a few price increases since last Dec. I now use a KGO that was recommended by sailorman and what a world of difference. I love it.

Sweet-Vapes used to be my first recommendation for kGo. But I switched to Hoosier despite the logo. Hoosier has what is a definite SLB and he's tested his batteries. They're unregulated and I'm not sure about Sweet-Vapes' batteries.

Someone just starting out needs a kit with atomizers. Using Vision clearos is, IMO, a ridiculous way to test juice, and dual coils are NOT the thing to use on a kgo, despite what Sweet-Vapes insists on claiming. I think they're trying to ride the fad with dual coils and they've lost a good deal of respect I had for them. They also claim the 2.1-2.4 clearos are too hot for a kGo, which is not true and seems to me like just a way to avoid dealing with potential complaints by a handful of fruit and flower vapers while also avoiding the need to explain the different way heat affects different juices. I'm sorry, but SV has been giving out a lot of very questionable advice to newbs lately. I don't recommend them anymore unless it's to someone who knows what he's doing and doesn't need to rely on their word.

Go to Hoosier using the link above. Choose your kGo color and find your Boge 510 cartomizers in the 2ohm resistance. Also look for Smoketech 510 cartomizers in 1.7ohm resistance. Drip tips are on another page on the site. Let us know what you've got in your shopping cart and put links to it if you want. We'll check it out for you and let you know if you missed anything or if you should change anything.
