What is the best vape mod to start with as a begginer?

[V8peQueen]

I started with the ProTank Mini and I love it. I know it is a generic Asian vaporizer. If I wanted something better but of similar price range, what mod would you suggest as the best (easy, easy-to-find, works sufficiently) ? I have had issues with flavor leakage (for instance). Basically, what is a common, easy-to-find mod (dont need a brand name or site) that you would recommend as a really good first time vaporizer. I do not have the knowledge to rebuild, although it is something I am looking into. Thanks guys!


Also...not as important, but between the variable wattage's, what is the dif between brands Kanger Evod and EVO? Which battery is the best of those 3?

Since you are4 friends with Dave ono and wheezal i wont hold it against you. Are you looking for a mod for dripping or for a tank? a nice simple mod for both would be a nemesis then a simple rsst head for juice easy to rebuild, But i recommend you look at you tube videos and learn ohms law first. or do you want a simple ego like product i recommend the Halo triton

My personal opinion on 'newbie' set up is that it has to satisfy these three points:

1. Be fuss-free to get going (easy enough to not warrant a smoke)
2. Last you for at least a fair while of your vaping journey before you want new gear
3. Require minimal maintenance.

I've helped a lot of people get started thus far and currently I have the position that the best gear you can START with is:

* Nautilus Mini tank + Some spare coils
* MVP 2.0 box mod

That's literally all the components you need. It's a good, solid, flavourful vape. It'll last and it'll get anyone off the smokes in a jiffy.

My two cents, good luck!

I mostly use an MVP 2 and an EHpro kayfun lite plus clone. Kayfun is a rebuildable but it's not hard at all to learn how to. I watched a few youtube videos and mine worked great the first time I built it. It's NEVER leaked on me and it give very good taste and decent amount of vapor.

Mini protanks are good too if you get the airflow control base and rebuild them with japanese cotton pads.

Perfectly put, dont jump into rebuilding just yet. I was on an MVP 2 for at least 2 months before I started experimenting with rebuilding my kanger coils. Then eventually got into drippers and rebuildable tanks. It wasn't until about 5 or 6 months on the MVP did I go to mechanical mods. There's no reason to rush into the harder things. Once you get into mechanicals, drippers, sub-ohm, and things of the like it turns into a hobby, a potentially dangerous one if you're not cautious and haven't done your home work.

Many here recommend Evod or Vision Spinner's for beginners. The Mini Aspire Nautilus tanks with the bvc ( coil ) is getting great reviews. I use the 5ml Aspire Nautilus with 1.8 ohm bvc and have no problems. The tank is very easy to fill and the new bvc lasts a very long time ( 2 week range before I clean it ).

Good Luck to You!!!

As far as a mod, a nemesis will do you good, tank wise get a nautilus mini

 

[David1975]

I'd say a good starter MOD for someone who doesn't or cant rebuild would be an MPV v2 NOT the MPV v1. As for an atty, I'd have to say a Protank 2 with air control or (haven't used them myself) the airo tank, or aspire mini. I don't know of any real differences between the 3 companies you've mentioned, I tend to see them as equal.... however I am predominantly a rebuildable user. That said, the MVP would let you get into something like a Kayfun, Fogger, or Magma later on as long as your not looking to build sub ohm.

Just to echo others, mvp2 with nautilus bvc. That seems to be the consensus for most.
The mvp2:
Will last you a day to three depending on your vape habits.
Charges with your phone charger (android, micro USB).
Decently poketable.

If you are happy with egos, this is an option.

The standard nautilus coils (bdc) have been known to have issues. The new bvc coils work in both standard and mini tanks and are getting great reviews. They cost meow, but also last a lot longer than most other replaceable coils.

My first tanks were evods, and I loved them. They are super cheap too!

I never recommend rebuildables or mechanical mods to beginners. It just adds more complication to an already complicated decision (SO MANY MODS, SO MANY TANKS... WHICH DO I CHOOSE?!?)

Watch a lot of reviews, post here about products you are thinking about buying and get input. We're here to help!

Good luck!

I don't understand why in the world people are recommending the nemesis which is a mechanical mod to a noob?!?! Really? A $230 mech that is usually not in stock. Also you didn't factor in the batteries and chargers. $$$

Anyways... MVP v2 and a Kanger EVOD clearomizer head for a tight draw or an aero tank for an "airy" draw that is adjustable. Kanger heads IMO are a little more reliable than the nautilus as far as build quality goes. I agree that the BVC coil units that are hitting the market are much more reliable than the coil wrapped around silica ones.

Once you are comfortable with your setup you can do some research on building your own coils and such which is super easy once you get the hang of it, and will yield the best results. If you do get EVOD heads the stock wick can be swapped out for organic cotton/rayon/cotton yarn of some sorts to improve the vape immensely.

--or--

You can just purchase the replacement coil units for about $2ea if you don't want to fiddle with wicks and wires.

You notice it's the "members" and "full members" always recommending mechs and rebuildables, especially when there is NO reason and NO need to do so and is horrible advice.

Must be trolls.

Everyone has different starting places. Everyone has different experiences.
Even before I was out of "5 post" status I wouldn't have recommended a mech even to the most technical and handy new vaper... Walk before you run.

I hope my last short post didn't come off as nasty.
The longer version: advanced devices are just that - advanced. All vape gear is "use at your own risk," but most mechs and RBAs come with an additional warning "for advanced users only." that is for a good reason... there is a much greater learning curve, and a greater potential for danger. with egos/apvs you can slap any tank on it and vape away without (much) fear of blowing your hand off. i say "much" because there are some bad ego knockoffs that could explode, and any battery not property taken care of can go thermal (dont leave it in a hot car!). If there is some manufacturing defect in the head you will just get some indication that the thing cant fire (low load or i think egos flash).
additionally, looking into mechs means that many more products to look at and evaluate. sure, you can kick it and make it safer, but thats even MORE parts to deal with. plus upping your wattage means pulling off your 510, grabbing your jewelers screwdriver and adjusting the potentiometer.
I recommend MVP2 to most because there isn't much learning curve, it is durable and everyone that has one seems to love it! If you never get into RBA's (or only rebuild above 1.4 ohms) it is a device you can be satisfied with for a LONG time. It allows you to customize your vape more, and it saves the time and money most spend to figure out that egos don't live long (3 months or so for the ones i had) and you cant be away from a charger for long (900mah egos only ever lasted me 1/2 - 3/4 of a day at most). The mvp lasts more than a day, some times 2 or 3 depending on attached coil resistance and vape habits.
all of that AND the big bonus is its only $40... Get a hana mod if you are so inclined.. they are $70 + 15 for a quality 18650.. now lets talk about quality batteries, and knock offs.... ahhh...lets not Most new vapers use stock coils and anything much over 11w would fry most stock heads. Most of those spread sheets that were floating around 6 months ago or so showed resistance vs wattage and how it related to a "quality vape" said keep it around 8w for stock heads and vape happy!


wow.. that was a lot longer than I wanted it to be... Sorry about that :S

I'm aware that not every "new" member on ECF is a new vapor, and I didn't mean every "member" or "full member" is making those recommendations, but if you noticed the more responsible people don't tell someone looking for a new tank or mod or a simple solution to change juice mixtures or nic levels say to buy a nemesis is . You are one of the more responsible members on ECF. I know there are responsible "members" and "full members" as well, I didn't mean to make it seem that all are irresponsible.

You need the Legal Vape 4000.

yeah - thats a good point.. I guess the full members have put their time in, and if they did make these "silly" recommendations, its been schooled out of them
