I get asked this question all the time - personally I think eGo's are the best go!

1. eGo
2. Pen Style ecig - 350mAh
3. Other

 

[Dauslyn]

yup, eGo gets my vote as well, though I'm biased - eGo was my first purchase, and what got me off of analogues for good.

 

[myxomatosis]

I agree the eGo is a good starter, but if I could have done it all over again, I would have saved a lot and been much more satisfied SOONER if I bit the bullet and pulled a mod right away. I loved the ego, but I grew out of it quickly.

The question is kind of difficult because there are so many variables when it comes to what people are looking for in a PV. Money, longevity of battery life, form-factor.. things like that.

Great name, btw. Is that in reference to the Radiohead song, or the actual disease?

I agree that in retrospect, we all should have started with a high-end VV PV. However for rookies or those just making the jump to PVs, a smaller and simpler PV is usually the way to go. You don't really know if vaping is going to work for you, until you try a few different combinations of mods/accessories and test it out. EGo is perfect for this, IMO.

Elite Vaporworks KGO Starter Kit with Boge LR Cartomizers - KGO

That's what I started on and recommend. I don't push for APV right away...even thought it would have been best for me also. Lots of vaprs never even go to a mod.

I think I got the disease from listening to Hail to the Thief.

 

[SissySpike]

I try to point them to a LT with the over load protection its almost impossible to burn carts or pop attys good price and gets them on the road to the world of VV

 

[DantesInferno]

Ego definitely. Ego twist for those wanting to try vv.

 

[DC2]

If they MUST have something the size of a cigarette then the Volt/MaxxFusion/G6 would be my recommendation.
If they think they can deal with something the size of a sharpie, but no bigger, then the Ego Twist without question.
And if they think they can go big, then I would probably recommend a Lavatube to start with.

I will never recommend a plain Ego ever again, now that the Twist is out.

 

[tj99959]

Depends on how noob the noob is. I just don't like the idea of someone spending the family fortune before they even know if they will like vaping.
A Sd Keyring is only 20 bucks, and a box of cartos about $7.50. Another $7.00 for a good juice flavor, and they at least have enough to find out if vaping is for them.
After a person has gotten their feet wet it depends on how intuitive the individual is. Many will be able to move right along with a nice PV, while others .... well .... they would be better off getting a pet rock.

Exactly what DC2 said

 

[martsumoto]

EGO as well, they are much better than a cig shape but more discrete than a silver bullet or a vv mod, plus upgrading to vv is less expensive.

Lavatube mini and vivi nova tank. I serously doubt you could run the two batterys it comes with out in one day.
Or ego .. if you want a smaller one. I wouldnt go any smaller then 900mah or your gunna spend all your time charging.

i run through 4 18350 batteries a day.

 

[digibomb]

i run through 4 18350 batteries a day.

I go through at least 1 18650 bat a day on my extended LT.

 

[Wishdog]

• EGO passthrough in either 650 if size is an issue or 1100 if longevity.
• Some Stardust clones.
• A tobacco liquid, a mint, and a watermelon liquid.

Then, if they like it:

• Two more batts, a smaller or larger depending on what they chose earlier, and eventually a VV.
• Some CE3s, maybe a tank.
• Samples, samples, samples.

 

[Feuille]

An Ego passthrough battery, in whatever mAh most suited to them.
Standard Ego atomisers, or a DCT with standard resistance (works better for flavours for me and batteries lasts longer).
Aluminium drip tip.
2 spare batteries.
Lots of samples.
Empty bottles and blunt syringes.
The address of this website.

 

[Kemosabe]

wow that seems like a lot to me. different strokes...
i still havent gone through my 2x 900mah batts that power my box in two days time yet. but im workin on it!
i get about 2.5 days from 1800 mah.

Not to de-rail an otherwise productive thread, but I chain vape like a beast and my 18350's last me 2 days. I hear about you cats that run through 4ml's in 4 hours and it literally blows my mind. I use a VMax and it chews through juice so...

Idk what you guys are doing.. but I like it.

 

[jwtaylor27]

I would reccomend a pen style 808 or something similar. I would then let them know that there are longer lasting batteries with more complex components available when they are ready.
