New Vapor Info & Starter Kits
Vaping is such a personal experience, so obviously everyone's perfect kit will be different and we will need more info about you and your needs. This post is more aimed to those that are ready to move away from cig-a-likes and into the vaping world.

I have gone through the past year of lurking in this forum and what I have learned and tried to piece together to my best a good starter kit for cheap.

Are you ready to step away from the cigarette-look-a-likes? If so this opens your choices up a lot...if you aren't then there are still options.

Next: if only using cig-a-likes are you only wanting to buy pre-filled or are you willing to refill your cartomizers?
part b: if willing to get away from cig-a-likes same question
part c: if willing to get away from cig-a-likes there are different types of juice delivery systems available :)

It is all overwhelming at first but it starts getting easier and it starts making more sense.​

.............

I'm still new myself but best advice I can give is: keep in mind vaping is all personal preference and there is no bad choices...what you decide is what you will be living with and using ;)
feel free to ask question, no question is stupid, just mis/under informed.


Some things to keep in mind:
  • Try to stick to pv's (personal vapors) that have both the 510 and ego connections this way you have all kinds of options when it comes to juice delivery systems.
  • Variable Voltage (vv) = everyone's taste is different so you can set your voltage up or down to help suit your needs as well as different juices and different juice delivery systems (cartomizers, tanks, ect) taste different at different voltages. (how many times can I say different)
  • Variable Wattage (vw) I haven't tried yet but assuming it is the same principle as stated above for vv.
  • Pass-through battery to be able to vape while charging.
  • the higher the mAh the longer the battery life
  • do you prefer a warm vape (top coil) or a cool vape (bottom coil)? top coil vs bottom coil tanks, to each their own...but go with glass or metal so that there's no worries about tank cracking juices.

.............

typically I suggest one to purchase the battery from else where spending a bit of money to find one that is your personal style because vaping is all about your personal preference...however if you are looking for just something decent priced that works and don't care about color or style so much :

From fasttech (if you don't mind buying from china...some are against it...don't mind generics and can wait about 2 weeks, no shipping or handling fees and accepts paypal) a nice silver piece together kit

Thanks for the reply Auntie mame all I use at the moment is a standard e cig.. pre filled disposable tip( im finding they are costing me quite a lot compared to e juice and im lucky if they last half a day !)

I recommend you to get variable voltage ego twist/vision spinner and kanger aerotank mini/nautilus mini and some delicious juice of course. Due to buck converter its a long battery so i recommend 1300mAh or 2x650mAh. Great vape for that price and really simple to handle!

The Vision Spinner is a popular battery mod around ECF. You will need two of them to keep vaping while the other is charging. I agree with rawr's suggestion for the Spinner and a Protank as a starter. You might also like the Kanger Evod for a more flavorful vape in a small and slim style that goes good with the diameter of the Spinner. It will use the same T3S heads as the Protank 1, 2, and even the Aerotank and AerotankMega for a single coil vape. The Mega can use the T3D (dual coil) or the T3S (single coil).

Shadav, I liked your size comparison picture! It's hard to tell when you are new and don't know the hardware. Good info ...

Hello and welcome!

Consider getting one of these:
1. Evod Twist
2. Vision Spinner
3. Ego-C Twist
4. Innokin iTaste vv v3.0

If you are interested in learning more about e-cigarettes (and all the parts and pieces) below are some blog posts by ECF member Baditude that I highly recommend for someone new to vaping and/or looking to upgrade.

1. A Good Starter's Setup for a Beginning Vapor
2. Advancing Up the Vaping Ladder with Egos and Mods
3. Proper terminology - Is it a carto, a tank, or what? A Guide to Juice Attachments.

Hey Neil2008. I started with a Vision Spinner 1100mah battery and a Kanger 2 mini. It's a decent starter set and may cost you about $25.00 if you order online. Discount Vapes have some good starter sets. I would recommend a back-up battery at about 650mah and EVOD tank. You will need a charger too. As for juices, if you have a local e-cig shop go there and see if they let you try the flavors before you buy them. What you think you like may not be what you like...
