Hello

[loopa2013]

Hi there guys,

I have smoked since I was sixteen (am 24 now), I stopped whilst pregnant with my children but other than that have always smoked.

Currently myself and my partner smoke tobacco, as it's 'cheaper' but I hate it, I hate having to go on my balcony to smoke, in the cold, I hate smelling of fags, the list goes on.

I have in the past tried the cheap ecigs and they were okay, but I have started to see more and more about vaping with tanks and liquids etc and I must say it confuses me, I am going to invest in a starter kit on Tuesday but I thought I could do with getting a bit of advice first to make sure I am getting the right stuff and what I need to be aware of.

Thanks in advance

to POTV, the first thing I would ask is, what is your budget loopa2013?

Initially it is a larger outlay, but over a month it will be cheaper and healthier for you than smoking

Wecome to POTV,a great site,especialy for beginners.If you want to start vaping I am no expert like the other guy's here but all I can say is if you want to start start small and cheap but not to cheap.If you buy an ego battery they are quite cheap and reliable but don't buy a cheap clearomiser buy something like an innokin i clear 30 which I would recommend.But as I say I am no expert that is just what I would do.I have had too many bad experiences with clearomisers flooding and loosing their flavor to ever buy anymore!Then as you progress into vaping there are qute a few very well priced mods like the vamo or the itaste svd and many others.Hope this is a help and welcome aboard to a great forum.

Hey loopa2013,

Could not agree more with the above. When starting you are possibly best of with below the £40 mark. Also I think you should also consider the size of the E-Cigarette. I think the iTaste SVD may be a little large for a beginner.
Best thing might be to look at a few E-Cigarettes online and then youtube them, to give you an idea of their actual size.
Also the screw on top (where the E-Liquid goes in) is quiet important, as low quality ones can leek and you end up with the E-Liquid in your mouth, which is not nice to say the least.

Hope that may be a little helpful

Hiya.
I reckon some good sound advice (that I received when I first came here) is to get yourself an ego battery and a clearomiser to start with. That's what most start with, it's what I started with and they are great. Cheapish and cheerful and they do the job. No massively expensive outlay and you get a much better vape experience than with the little e-cig-a-likes.
I tried them and thought they were great to start with but soon got fed up of constantly changing the expensive throw-away cartridges, always seemed to be charging them up and constantly having to place orders online for more overpriced cartridges.

Most people tend to start off with a couple of baccy flavoured e-liquids and move on from there.

I can also recommend the Kanger Evods. Awesome bits of kit, you can find them for about £30 for two batteries and two tanks plus charger.

Myepack are really good with prices and have good after service care.
Really low priced e-liquids there too.

Good luck!

I remember how I felt smoking outside in the cold and then stinking of fags around my kids. It felt horrible
I bought my first lot of kit and juice from them.

I first bought this;

Brilliant device.

Then bought these;

But in pink

Also brilliant!
