Your Single Best Advice for Newbies

[Mike Literus]

Pick up a vamo v5 not one of this 50$ kits that come with the crappy ce4 clearomizers and the cheap trust fire charger and 18350 batteries buy a vamo alone should be around 30$ the pick up a nitecore charger and some 18650 sony batteries save you a lot of time and money doing it this way also pick up a protank if your into that or a igo-w

I'm going to go against some of the advice here.

When you are starting out, don't buy cheap. You don't know enough to know if it is good or bad. Buy good, well-regarded, branded products or nothing. If that means you can't commit to an MVP or Provari, so be it. Plenty of us started out on a little battery and cartomisers. Once you have experience, you'll know what you want to save up for.

Buy a lot....a lot...really a lot of kitchen paper

I'm looking to step up from the Ego batteries.

There are as many opinions as users here...

I'd be willing to splurge for a provari, but I've seen some promising newer devices too, with great reviews.

I am looking for quality. I'm willing to buy once, cry one, if the product is worth it, but if I can get 90% of the quality for 1/2 the price, I can live with that.

So, if you had to pick one APV, what would it be?

Thanks.

That depends more on you than on me. I've heard that the Provari is stupidly expensive here in the UK, and to be honest the fact that it's made in the USA is of almost no interest to me. If it was made in the UK, that would be different. At the moment I'm interested in high-power, high-resistance coils. So a Provari or MVP with its 15W limit is erm... limiting. I'm not made of money, so the otherwise attractive Taifun Eye at an eye-watering €240 is not on the horizon. I don't want to sub-ohm, so I don't need a mech mod, and I really don't want to be bothered with all the maths and fiddle that goes with it, although some of them are pretty. I don't like the look of box mods (but then I thought that about tube mods too) so almost all DNA20 or DNA30 mods are off the menu. Most of them are too expensive anyway. I understand the rattle-snake effect and I believe that if I can avoid it I can get better tasting vapour.

So that is why I traded up from an eGo to an SVD to a Sigelei 20W. It's not perfect; it doesn't do volts and it doesn't like my 1 ohm coil, it's not telescopic, I'd like a bit more headroom, 30W maybe, but I'm enjoying it.

But of course, none of that reasoning applies to you, or anyone else.

Everybody got mine....so.....make sure your juice won't crack your tank. Google for "tank cracking juices" or "tank cracking flavors".

This is the best 1 for an Evod tank clearomizer user like me

Don't vape sub ohm and drive.

Yeah, so have I. Small things that no one tells you when you start.

Hmm, best tip for a newbie I can think of is not to sweat about when or how quickly you stop cigarettes. I've seen a lot of people that really tripped themselves up because they stressed themselves out over the fact that they continued to smoke. Everybody is different and some people make the transition quicker than others. So my advice is to take the time to find juice and hardware that works for you and take the time to learn how to get the most out of it, that will make the transition so much easier in the long run

Bless you and I agree

OK. Intersting thread. So, I post a bit derived of my experience.
First: I bouht some cig-like piece. It was a disaster. But I felt I can go with vaping; so, it was not completely wasted money ($40).
I bought vamo 5 ($28) and was happy ever after. For me vamo+iClear 16 made a perfect vaping gear. I have tried aerotank, was not impressed at all. I have now aerotank as a spare to spare to my iclearos. For me aerotank is TOO AIRY, makes me to use at least 2 times more juice without any additional pleasures I attribute to vaping.
And about vamo. I do not like an idea of buying MVP, because it is just a battery which will be dead in one year. I do not like an idea of buying Provari because it is expensive outdated piece of equipment: I am too happy with 3-button interface of Vamo (compared to 1-button interface of Provary). I cannot imagine myself going through hassles of one button interface. So, I'd rather buy 3 vamos ($90) instead of one Provari ($180) and be happy.

So, individual experience vary. It's so tough to advise newbies...

If you have the funds, ProVari hands down... Blemished 2.5's on website or used on Classifieds

I've also heard rumors the P3's will be available September 2...
$180 or less for version 2.5, a device you will have forever

Don't try to quit smoking, let Vaping replace it.

Great advice..
I'll add to it with what others have said - Plenty of paper towels. Keep the juice off of your skin. Keep your juice away from your pets!!!
Always try to have an extra battery on you.

Get a regulated mod to start out. Less frustrating. Like Vamo with the power watts function. More efficient
