Just a little topic I want to talk about (with the newbie section being great for it): why would most people want to purchase the very expensive starter kits that most websites promote? Usually, they come with 2 batteries, 5-10 cartilages, a wall charger, a USB charger, a e-cig box, a carrying case, and all sorts of stuff - however, why buy all that junk? For me (and many, many people), I naturally carry around a wall-to-USB converter for my Iphone, so automatically, I don't need a wall charger for my e-cig. Every (much cheaper) $30 kit out there comes with a USB charger at least. On top of that, I don't carry a purse or wear parachute pants, so an E-Cig carrying case or box wouldn't come close to being convienent to me beyond the charge factor. Third, while having a back-up or one manual/one automatic battery can be nice (especially if one fails), on a normal case scenario I just don't see how most folks go through the batteries - there's plenty of times to charge them, sleeping, work, in a restaurant, shopping, ect ect. And ten cartilages? They're no more expensive as a regular add-on, especially if you simply look up a discount code: codes are everywhere.
I'm just saying this because it seems like a lot of people plunge into dishing out $70 at one time, and IMO, it seems really unneeded, especially if you don't know if you like the brand or not, and don't know if they'll refund you. For instance, Volt has a $30 kit that has the battery, 5 cartilages, customizable size+colors+LED, and the USB charger all for $34 right now ($28 with VOLTMOM %20 discount which is surprisingly not unvalid yet...), ePuffer has the new Nano kit (same stuff included) for $25 with a discount, and most other websites also have either the $30 kits or accesories to build a kit with for the same price. So why spend more on stuff one may not need? Actually Volt has the $20 kit (which is like $16 with VOLTMOM) which has the whole e-cig, 2 cartilages, and a USB if you don't mind having an ugly e-cig, lol (which, Volt has cool e-cig wraps for like $5) Or any other brand, Blu, Halo, V2, none of them go above $30 if you dig and deal. Heck, if you just need something to store your cartilages in, Volt has a Cartilage Case for FIFTY CENTS (should fit any cartilages of the same size).
For instance, if you get Volt's $20 starter kit, and a extra box of $8 cartilages, you get more than you do in the $30 kit, especially when you use discounts. If you stay smart about the purchases, you can find yourself really getting more for the buck than the usual kits may be worth. However, if you need every single thing in the kit, there's no reason not to spend the cash needed!
