Well you may as well get used the manuals right off the bat, after a while with the auto's you get tired of jacking with them and wind up getting manual's anyway.
Wow. Lots of info on this forum!

Are there any Joye 510 Starter Kits that come with 2 battery's 1 automatic and 1 manual? In looking around it looks like most of them are 1 or the other but not 1 of each. That way I can get a chance to test them both right out the gate!

I'm not aware of any specific vendors that do, but I have seen it before. However, you can always order an extra auto battery with a manual kit or vice-versa -- you can never have too many spares.

This, and I have to agree whole heartedly with the "manuals are better" also. I started with a kr808d1 auto from the mall and only recently bought a manual to use mostly as a help to clean and dry out my cartos and now it's my favorite battery. Crap now I have 3 autos mostly gathering dust.
speaking of malls. The last few malls I have been to sell different starter kits starting at around $150.00 and up. I mean is it just me of is that a bit much for a starter kit? Then again everything is $$$$ at the mall. lol. I just ordered a Volt Pro Kit to get me started with a 15% coupon code. was $55 when it was all said and done with including free shipping. After I get the hang of it all il move on to bigger and better pv's.

From what I'm hearing about the Volt, you may not want to move on. It's apparently and probably the best small-batt E-cigs in existence so far. I'm even curious to try it myself. If nothing else it'll probably be better than my 510 (which I still use for quick jaunts or different flavours.)
Way to much,IMO. Your volt deal sounds about average and shouldn't be disappointed from the reviews I've heard.
I didn't know at the time what I could get online.
But they were a good back up for me this weekend as I think I waited too long to order new juices. I just got a higher nic than usual and diluted with some no nic vg to make the price more livable and I like more vg than pg anyway.
That's pretty much average for your standard mall kiosk rip off kits. They prey on people who don't know any better because of the lack of exposure to this hobby. Hell I almost fell for a $130 E9 kit in April when I first started based off of blog "reviews" (*cough* affiliates) on the internet, luckily I found this site just in time.
Like Mindfield said, I think you'll be very pleased with the Volt kit, I have heard a lot of good things about them on this forum. Welcome to ECF!
My wife who quit analogs cold turkey about a month ago (however she was a closet smoker) is getting ooober annoyed that I have been talking soo much about vaping lately. Iv spend almost too much time the last few days reading and watching reviews on vaping ect..But for me with places like ECF it allows me to make an educated decision on what I am going to need and how to use it ect..
Im soo excited about all this im on VAPE overload. lol. I have a feeling this will end up being a hobby of mine here pretty soon.
Thanks again everyone for all the awesome info and help in getting me going.

Welcome.. you are in the right place for information and opinion overload
The standard 510 kits are really good, that is what my daughter uses. I was a bit of a heavier smoker so opted for the eGo and that is working for me quite nicely.
Get ready for a surprise, quitting smoking has never ever been this easy... I know... as most here are as well, we are all experts on quitting because we have quite literally hundreds of times
This however is the successful way to quit, as it is painless, and replaces smoking with something that you enjoy even more.

I smoke about a pack and a half a day give or take. I work a lot from home and have kids so I dont smoke in the house. Well as soon as I setup my office in my garage now I smoke like crazy. And with me smoking has become very routine in that I HAVE to have a smoke right after dinner or eating. Same goes with driving. As soon as I get in the car I have to light one up. So I guess I can now get the best of both worlds. Smoke inside the house without putting my kids at harm and still get my fix. Without even leaving the dinner table. in a sense speaking.

Another thing that I was wondering about was,
With an analog I know when to stop that cig as the cig goes out when its done, If a pv doesnt go out until the carto is empty, How would the same mindset apply to an ecig? I mean maybe I just take a hit or two then put it down I guess.

Generally you fall into your own rhythm. I know that when I first started that part was kind of disconcerting too. But what I found was that eventually it just turned into an ad-hoc kind of thing where I'd pick it up and take a puff whenever the desire struck. Ultimately what it's ended up doing was maintaining my nic levels at an even keel throughout the day. Especially at work, where I'd often go hours between smokes, vaping in my office (my bosses are cool with it -- encouraging, even) keeps things pretty steady, so there's none of that "loading up" when I'd go out for a smoke.
It can take a bit of getting used to, and I'll be honest, I kind of miss that feeling of pleasure and relief when I'd go out and have a smoke after a couple of hours of not having one, but certainly not enough to go back to smoking. Or for that matter to change my vaping habits. I still get it from time to time if I've spent a long time in the mall or something, where I rarely vape (unless I sneak a stealth vape down an aisle or something.
)
No - It's not just you. My first starter kit was a Ffity-One Duo (1 battery, no spare), a wall charger, carry case, and 2 carto's - the vendor threw in another box of 5 carto's for no charge. Price: $80. They also offered a deluxe kit that had a spare battery (maybe 2? Don't recall), 3 charging options (adapters basically) and something like 3 or 5 boxes of (5 each) carto's for a mere $250. Maybe why I don't recall the exact battery count - I was in shock. I was shopping for my wife and myself, so I needed double of everything.
Now contrast that with what I have now. eGo-T with 2 650mAh batteries, 2 standard A type atty's, about a dozen tanks, a carto to try out, a drip tip, wall charger, and 8 x 10ml bottles of various juices. And I still haven't spent the $150 that the vendor at your local mall would have relieved me of.
I realize mall store rental is expensive - but these are kiosks. No way does it cost more for a 4x8 kiosk than it costs for the brick and mortar store right down in the middle of the action on the beach. My opinion of mall vendors is not overly high...
I feel very lucky that I have an excellent physical store nearby and I don't have to resort to ordering from the internet. For some things, that's fine - but as a newbie I really appreciated being ab;e to actually see and touch the different models, and be able to sample the flavors so I don't end up like so many here with a box full of juice that they never liked once they tried it.
My system is a bit different. I work from home, so there are no real restrictions on me that way. But I needed to know when was an appropriate time. So what I do is I press 2 fingers to the inside of my wrist. If I feel a pulse, I know it's time to vape.

Now that is some funny stuff right there!
What is nice about vaping is that you don't HAVE to stop if you don't want to. I pretty much hit mine whenever I want to all day long. Many people report getting a headache or feeling quesy if they have taken in too much nicotine, so if you just pay attention to your body it will let you know if you've had too much.
I agree Dee5, I have been vaping for two months now, started with 24mg nic level but because I constantly vape all day it was making me feel queasy, so I now use 6mg nic level and can vape all day long with no problems. I think the thing to remember is everyone is different so best thing to do is get some small amounts of various nic levels and find your sweet spot. I started with using cartridges but I now drip directly onto the atomizer, so i don't have to keep purchasing prefilled cartridges, I can just buy the juice at my nic level and whatever flavor I want. It can be a steep learning curve to vaping but there is a wealth of information in forums and on YouTube so just study up a little and please ask questions.
Good to know. For me I cant say for certain if its the nico that I am craving or just the the routine of putting a cig on my mouth. I cant help but think its just the routine. After I get the jist of it all, maybe il try it with 0 nico in a carto and just go for the routine thing.
