Where's a good website I can send people to when they ask me for vape gear when they've never vaped before. I do my shopping all over the place but that tends to turn people off if they have to go all over to get their gear and good quality liquid. What's a website I can send them to where they can get everything they need BUT at a good price? In the past I have done VaporKings, I like their customer service a lot, but the prices aren't super low.

As you already know, no one vendor has a good deal on everything - or sales on specific items that go on forever - or good quality, or even genuine products - so recommending just one, without knowing what the new vapist wants/needs/is budgeted for, is not such a good idea.

I'd like to be lazy too ;-) ... and recommend just one, but in good conscious - you can't.

As most start with eGos and clearos - I'd look for sellers of genuine Kanger, Innokin, Vision, Joye and Aspire - at fair to good pricing. Once the new vapist gets started and has learned a bit of "how things work" in the vaping world, they can search out their own deals on more advanced goods.

If the new vapist is a bit tech minded (or will even follow directions well), and has a modest budget - I usually aim them towards a Innokin iTaste 3.0 or MVP2 (self-contained eliminating the battery issue for the time being), then one of the previously listed brands for a few clearo/glassos. With a bit of research, around $65 or less typically, including spare coil heads.

That's another reason I've used vapor kings in the past...their genuine brand products. It's not so much that I'm being lazy, I can rattle off several different sites for the new vapist but it can seem intimidating when you need to go to 5 different sites to get started.

I usually send them to Discount Vapers or My Vapor Store for a one-stop shop. Sure they can get some items slightly cheaper if they shop around a lot, but those two usually have everything someone needs for a decent Ego-type setup and both companies have integrity and ship very fast.

Edit: that's for gear, not liquid. Usually I send them to Vapor Chef to get some samples to start off with.

If they have never vaped before, the best place to send them is a B&M if you have one around. That way they can see them, touch them and even try them. Vaping is different for everyone, so it's just a lot better if they can try it first. It's better than ordering something online that you think you might like, only to find out that you hate it and have to buy something else.

Sorry, I can't to just one place. My favorite juice supplier specializes in juice and its the best IMO but they don't carry much hardware. Same thing in reverse with my favorite gear vendor. What I do do though is tell people what places to stay away from based on my experience with them.... but only offline because if they're an "approved vendor" we can't mention a bad experience here. Its not fair because they can't respond anywhere but in the review sub-forums. We can, however, send folks to any of them all day long here.;)
