What should I buy?

[gfburke]

Hello.
There seems to be so much involved with this "hobby" and it looks a little in depth. I have been chewing nic gum for a couple months now.. my mouth is bloody sore from chewing. Point is, I miss smoking and am sick of chewing.

What I'd like is:
- a kit for $60 or less.
- 2 batteries
- USB charger
- cartridges (I don't want to mess with liquid dropping)
- The "cig" to look real (white / normal size)
- US shipper

I was about to hit "buy" on Intellicigs.com until I started seeing many bad things said about this site.. But they have the correct price, and an easy drop down menu to select flavored+mg of nicotine. (it's cut/dry and simple). Using carts, not liquid.

Also, not sure why they sell extra Atomizers. Do they die?

Any help would be nice.
Thanks!!

I've been useing the same atty for almost 2 months now and it's still working like new. There are a lot of great suppliers on here so I can't tell you who is better or worse. Read some more and take your time ordering. I havent touched a cig since I got my first PV.

US shipper hmm. Rocky Mountain Vapor sells the 510 kits which comes with 2 of everything. A lot of things will have to be bought additionally like the carts and usb charger, but that stuff isn't too expensive. Also, I would say that the 510 is roughly the size of a 100 or 120 size analog.

i was in your shoes not to long ago. i started with research on the Blu but after reading the threads on the forum decided against it and then thought about the EVO and the 510. i settled on the 510 and have not looked back. for me it is the BOMB! i am getting a EVO just for looks and size but the 510 is my go to piece. i mix my own liquids and have done the straw, Lipton PTB and fluval mods and i am just having a blast finding what works for me. its a blast like i said but in order to be educated you have to do the research and there is no better place than right here. i wish you all the luck!!

The look of a real cig? Not sure you can quite get that with a quality pv. It sounds like the 510 would fit your requirements as far as size and it gives a good hit. You might as well get used to using the liquid, it's the only way to go for the money. In fact you should get some juice with your order, if you don't I can promise you that you will wish you had.

M401/M402/M403 is the closest to an analog and my fav.

I also have 510 but it is fatter, longer, and heavier.

 

[gfburke]

Thanks people! So... even getting this 510 + M-401 Marlboro replacement carts(5) - Medium strength - I'd still want liquid? I know I have lots to research.. sorry. I'll look around more though.

Once you start you won't care that it looks like an analog. Just take the plunge and get a 510 or 801 right away. Also you may want to check out the Vapor King/Nebula/kr808d-1 model. Just search those names. It's a 2 piece e-cig with disposable cart/atomizer combos. Very hassle free. May fit what you want!

 

[emus]

To start you will need high strength 24mg or 36mg liquid.
At least 2 batts.
A pass through is very good also.

Rule of Thumb from the Experienced Vapors: the more it looks like the real thing, the worse the performance and realiability.

At least get a manual battery device unless you like frustration.

what do you guys know or think about these warnings?

I have no idea, and it may just be a bunch of smoke.

 

[gfburke]

Thanks emus. However I'm on the 2mg gum now. I'm looking for 6mg(ish) menthol carts. I think so anyways. I think this 510 looks pretty good. It seems to go by other names as well. This dietsmokes guy seems to be out of stock...

Sorry to say, if you plan on using carts only, it may become more expensive than stinkie sticks.

Atomizers will die. You need spares.

This is an electronic device. It needs care, maintenance, and attention to work right. You can't light it, and throw it away when you're finished.

I love my 510 you will see picking the ecig is easy its when you see all the flavors, types, and whatnot of the ejuice that it will get you flustered. I love the 510, got mine from innovapor. nice guys, cant talk to the owner anymore...which i dont like... but they are good. Watch out on their warranty which is 30 days. kinda screwing me right now, have to mail back a atty for them to :inspect: it to see if its covered. a pain in the ... if you ask me. im glad i got extras in my kit. but stays the same. a pain.

the warranty on the attys anyways. On how you clean them. I told them the truth. Everclear. but when one died on me while on duty ( army and 60 miles from home ) with 1 atty, i tried the coke cleaning, since i didnt have everclear on me...dont really carry that on me but still.... which still didnt save it, they said coke makes the warranty void... so yea. dont use soda. not sure if anyone else with a warranty that states that. just read and beware.

i also thought carts would be best at first. boy was i wrong. i love dripping. also helps manage your inventory, you know and control how much you use.

cool, he's on twitter with coupon codes too

My suggestion would be to immediately go watch Sparkeys " comprehensive Intro to vaping" video... top of the page in the newbie form..It answers all these questions and so many more...

atomizers are supposed to last around 2 months..Ive had one last almost 3 but Ive also had 3 die in one week = Never be without spares

I think you will most likely give up on having to buy premade carts all the time, eventually..However, when first starting out it will free your hands so that you can master your e-cig first...Although, I too would buy at least one bottle cause adding just two drops to the top of that prefilled cart will make it stretch twice as long. Good luck

 

[kodykills]

a 510! get a 510, i love them, and so does just about everyone else. Get a manual battery, and a PCC. The battery life isnt very good, but the PCC will take care of that. I havent had any troubles with mine at all. Rocky moutain vapor has them for 46$ shipped i do believe. be warned tho they can be hard to put down at times

Good sites to get liquid? I'd like light nic + menthol.
thanks for all the help! The vid was good too.

Another super easy trick is to buy one bottle 0mg juice, one bottle 24mg juice and a few empty bottles.

Mix to get any strength you like.

I keep 0mg, 6mg, 12mg, 24mg and 36mg mixes in small bottles.

 

[gfburke]

Nice man, good idea!

So the guy over at rockymountainvapor.com is way cool. PP just shut him down, however he will have a CC payment setup in the next 48hrs. Having said that is was willing to help me out and allow me to pay soon. Let's just say he is way nice.
