Vaping

[n4n0]

Looking to get into vaping. I've been doing a lot of research over the last week or so trying to figure out what the best path to take would be for a beginner. After watching/reading a few reviews I've decided to purchase the Kanger Dripbox All-In-One Starter Kit. Reason being it seems simple enough for a new vaper and it's priced very well. I don't really want to spend more than $100 or so right now total (device, batteries, juice, etc) as I'm not sure if this will stick with me and I don't want to bankrupt myself on a binge-hobby. @n4n0 you seem like a connoisseur of vape culture so how would you rate that purchase for me? I am also purchasing the following: Efest IMR 18650 2500mAh 35A Battery (2-Pack) and Kanger Dripbox Coils (3-Pack). As far as juices go I was considering buying from Vape Craft. I wanted to start off with something relatively simple as so I don't overwhelm myself. I'd be willing to upgrade my piece and accessories accordingly in a few months if I stick to it. I know being able to control temperature/wattage/etc is very important to experienced vapers among other things so in the future I'd take that into consideration.

For batteries pick these up:

18650 Samsung INR18650-25R R5 2500mAh (GREEN) High Discharge FLAT Top - Batteries - Batteries, Chargers, and PowerPax Carriers

For that drip-box, for a new vaper, I'm not sure I'd recommend something like that. I'd say pick up a SMOK TFV4 or TFV8 with a decent box mod.

I'll check those models out now. And I thought the batteries on that site (my site) seemed a bit pricey. Thank you.

Not only pricey, but those are terrible batteries.

 

[Bonesack]

Not only pricey, but those are terrible batteries.

Yeah, these sorts of batteries are an enigma to me. I'm only used to standard batteries; AA/AAA/etc. Regarding the juice, any opinion on Vape Craft? Reviews seemed generally positive but curious if you have a personal opinion.

Never used them personally so unfortunately I have no opinion for them.

No worries. I appreciate your help, genuinely.

I've smoked the tobacco free, wasn't really into it.

Same here to be honest.

I personally would say get IJOY TORNADO NANO (There is ready made rba coils called CHIP COILS and then a great mod with it.

When I started I bought this. I used for for about 6 months probably.

Kangertech SUBOX Kit with KBOX Mini and Subtank Mini - Black

@Bonesack

I then moved to the ipv4s and to the rx200. Whatever you do, don't buy a $20 mod from a gas station. Also be considerate of the power of your mod. When I had that Kanger I used 9-16mg juice. With a better mod I use 3mg.

Vapewild.com is a good beginner place to play with juices. They sell smaller bottles good for finding what you like. It's not really premium but they make good juice.

For batteries pick these up:

No intention to claim myself as vaping expert, I’m real noob in that, but Sony VTC5 batteries Batteries seem to be a good choice for anyone looking for high-amps 18650s not only in vape mods but in flashlights too.

I find vaping keeps me awake at night sounds daft but its true.

 

[f0rza]

Like e-cigarette liquid smell

VTC 5's are good, but there's a lot of fakes running around, and they're expensive. Anywhere from 9-15/ea on a lot of sites. The batteries I listed are $5/ea on the site I listed them on, are high quality, and as someone who's used VTC 3, 4, and 5's, are comparable to the sony's.

 

[n4n0]

Bump.

Shattered the glass on my TFV8 and don't have a spare, stuck on the TFV4 until I replace it

The thing that pisses me off the most is I had just put in a brand new coil and filled it with freshly mixed juice prior to shattering the glass.

RIP.

I run a nice slim profile Kanger Cupti at work or on the go. It's just easy to carry and holds a good amount of juice. At home I use a sigelei 150w and a Buddha RDA. I fucking hate trying to build coils on small decks so I went out and bought the biggest one I could find. Recently I've been doing some bad builds and lost my drive to do them at all.
