Your first ever kit

Started with an ego battery with some kind of random CE4 clearomiser then bought this:
Innokin Coolfire 1
Epic only in its resemblance to a light sabre
 
CE4 and Ego type thing briefly, before moving on to my first e-pipe and Vivi Novas.

My first ever kit was an Innokin t18e, thought at the time it was rubbish - first coil lasted 14 days, when I started on second coil thought i had plenty of time to buy a spare coil. Nope 3 days, and yes it packed in on a sunday so back on cigs. Then vapers tongue following sunday back on cigs felt i was going cold turkey 1/2 the time I had it, once I had my first full day smoke free I upgraded to Clieto , no way I wanted to go back.
 
I bought a cig u like kit off a stall in the local shopping centre,, each month they would send me replacement nic tips for it. It was really crap, so I duel fuelled.

Next up was the ego battery and CE4, I upgraded the tank to an Aspire 2 (I think, it was a bit better), but still duel fuelled.

Back to the B&M and came out with an istick 30 and Nautilus, a week or two later and the stinkies were behind me.
 
Taste was muted, wicking was poor, and cutting the stuff when rebuilding left little fibres floating about. It wasn’t fibre glass, but similar. It’s why many opted for mesh and stainless rod wicks. Thank god someone thought about trying cotton. :D

Those early days of vaping sounded very much of the DIY slant, a lot of experimenting by companies and amateurs alike....which i missed of course...and perhaps...with relief! lol!

That said....those 'poineering' days did get the industry to where we are now....i wonder what it's gunna be like in a few years time? The technology of vaping is moving along at an acelerated pace now isn't it? I keep readin posts from members who remark on how simple things were only a few years ago....today...there's a vast array of kit and juices to choose from!
 
I started with one of those cheap things you find in most corner shops, cost around £5 and vaped like crap, didn't last long before i was smoking again.

Second go round, i started with an innokin t22 and an aspire nx30 with nautilus x tank, about a week later i had a smok alien and baby beast tank.

Only been vaping properly for about a month or so and i now have various mods and tanks and have been on bit of an RDA binge of late (bought 4 this week alone), don't know why, just like shiny new things (someone once told me vaping was cheaper :lies:)

For most beginners, there will be a period of investment required, whilst you're experimenting and buying new kit to add to your collection nick87. Took me several months before i decided i had acquired enough kit (although there's always some cool mod or tank that keep 'winking' at me still!)...& finding the right flavours..plus building a 'reservior' of juice....but i'm saving a heck of a lot more now i've given the stinkies the heaveho.

It's funny though...when i was a smoker, i somehow justified the expense...and didn't think it 'immoral'....to say that if i were still smoking and buying premade cigarettes at today's average prices, then i'd be spending 3 grand a year on 'em...3 GRAND!!! Feck me!

Almost one year in...and i'm not spending any where near that much now....say £30 ish on juices and coils a month....that's about 10th of i use to spend.....oh happy days! And vaping is so much nicer and tastier....and i don't STINk anymore! WHOOHOO!

I've got one of those somewhere, haven't tried it yet...is it any good? I haven't yet got a battery for it...i presume it uses a 16350? Fogstar doesn't do those, so dunno where the best place iss to get a decent battery for it.
 
Another aspire zelos user here. I love that little bugger because it got me off the ciggies

It's a cute little thing isn't it? Still use mine every day....perfect for the Nautilus mini, if a little top heavy, but very compact.
