Ive been browsing everything I can find on vaping, and it seems that for a newbie it would be best to start with something like a battery with a tank and atomiser. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to mention brands on here so until I hear otherwise I'll just say that the top rated US supplier ending in fi sounds like it would be the place to go to get started?
Where should I start?

The internet, I find, is significantly cheaper than a vape shop. When I want to consider a mod or topper, I go to the sub-forum and search for it. Usually there are threads on them, positive and negative. A lot of reading, but it saves money.

Welcome to ECF!!
That vaporfi kit is available in many vape stores for $25. It's more or less a rebranded eGo style battery and a 7 dollar Kanger, Smok or Aspire tank.
Hi mate,
NO VAPORFI. please.
Consider the Endura T18. It is HALF the cost of the V-fi "clobber".
Cheers

Whack your location in your profile, that will help people to help you if they know whereabouts youre from
I suspect they create most of their own write ups. Overpriced gear which is rebranded from another maker. I left some shopping links in the other thread, you can compare what you're getting in value.
I'm sure that kit will work just fine. It is very overpriced though, like about 3 times more expensive than a similar kit like a Kangertech Evod.
Hopefully, someone from the UK will come along and post some advice for you.
Edit; Here's a link to a kit from Amazon UK Kanger EVOD 2 New Dual Coil twin starter kit. Genuine Kangertech (Steel): Amazon.co.uk: Health & Personal Care

Be Happy!
Do NOT believe the hype. The shop ending in "Fi" is not good (although they sell some perfectly acceptable e-cigs) but the prices are crazy. You have dodged a $$ bullet.
I don't think they do any business at all in the UK. GOOD.
@Merlin, you are not going to be able to order online and have your product clear through your customs. Every member we see (from Singapore) that orders online, reports getting a letter from customs that their package was forwarded to HSA for disposal.
Hopefully, you know of a local "black market" source.
There is a "social" sub-forum here for SG members. They will not share sources openly but over time (once they get to know you) they may be willing to help you with local sourcing. SG Vapers. Make sure you read all the "stickies" as there are special rules you must follow when posting (in the SG forum) due to the sensitivity of vaping in SG.
You won't be able to ask where to buy hardware/juice in SG as your government monitors/reads ECF forum posts. It's all explained here => Newbies Q&A Thread. [PLEASE READ]

I am from the UK but working in Singapore. I've just discovered that the government has banned e cigs. I'm retiring in the next 6 months back to UK Scotland. Thank goodness they are more forward thinking and open minded about helping people to quit smoking than my current location.
If my doctor in the UK recommended e cigs for the sake of my health then surely the local authorities should take that into account?
I guess that I'm going to have to put up with ruining my health for another 6 months until I get home to Scotland and sanity!

I better not say what my thoughts and feelings are with regard to intransigent government officials and outmoded lawmaking! If you can read my mind you'll know what I mean!
Well, it's not illegal here, but soon there will be some stricter controls. No tanks over 2ml. No liquid over 20mg. No liquid without paying to jump through certain hoops.
Most small e-liquid makers will pack it in. Potentially, most of the products we use will be banned. If the question of what constitutes 'leak free' and 'consistent dose' is applied by the UK government, then all that'll be left will be tobacco company single-use products, and I'm not vaping them. Vype and E-Lites have proved time upon time they aren't interested in decent e-cigs, just making as much money as possible from unsuspecting people.
Anyway... you avoided VaporFi, that is something to be pleased about.
@djsvapour any word on ordering products from overseas and them being able to clear UK customs (i.e. Fasttech)?
Fingers crossed. If you get a letter just ignore it. You won't get your product but you won't be fined for a 1st time offense. At least that is what I have read.

There are regulations pending in the US also. We don't know yet what's going to happen but it doesn't sound good.
