Good vape?

[Chiliphil1]

Hey guys, I'm looking for a good vaporizer that won't break the bank, I quit smoking earlier this year and with snus and an e cig I've been able to keep away from it, but the e cig I've got just isn't doing it for me anymore, it's one of those cheap mystic brand ones that you buy at truck stops. I'm constantly having to put a new cartridge on it and even with the strongest ones it doesn't work, with all the options out there I'm not sure what to buy, I'm not going to have a lot to spend but I want something that's going to work well and that I can refill, so suggestions?

The truck stop ones are weak and taste like crap. You'll be surprised at how much better it can be with just a slight step up in the quality of your gear.

For super cheap go to Vapedojo and get the katana kit. For better get an ego twist or vision spinner with a carto tank, protank2 or evod clearomizer. Shop around to get a decent price (under $50 for a two battery set). If you can live with a box mod, get a MVP 2 like this http://store.sunnyvaping.com/vv-and-vw/ . It might be cheaper elsewhere and google for coupon codes (101vaping used to be cheapest). The MVP has excellent battery life and variable power - it's the standard kit for intermediate level vapers.
The better chinese brands are Joytech Kanger and Innokin.
Good cartos are Ikenvape - Boge used to be good but are now inconsistent, and dual coil cartos can be ok but use your battery quicker. Disposable attys are best from Avid vaper (cisco spec), Ikenvape, Empire Mods, Joytech (get them from digitalciggz: http://www.digitalciggz.com/product-...zer-5-pack.htm). Clearos are a mystery to me but people seem to like the protank2, protank mini, and evods. Don't try RBAs or mechanical mods at this point - they take a good amount of commitment and experience, and they can be somewhat dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.
Ask (or email questions to) the vendor to make sure all your stuff is compatible.

You will need liquids (called 'juice' usually). Cheap vendors that people seem to like: Mt.Baker Vapor, Yealiq, Azure vaping. Cheap vendors are usually hit-or-miss, but often they have some good stuff. Vendors I prefer: Altcig, Alice in Vapeland, Indigo Vapors, Velvet Cloud Vaping, Fancee Juice. Indigo is noted for their tobacco flavors, but I've only tried their sweeter liquids. Get sample packs if they are available.
You'll have to refill whatever delivery device you choose. Prefilled cartomizers work for some people, but almost everyone graduates to refilling at some point. There are a ton of videos showing how to do this stuff, and it's not difficult.

Safety notes: Use only the proper charger for your batteries, and don't leave the batts in the sun or charging where you aren't nearby. Lithium ion batteries can be quite dangerous if abused! And keep nicotine liquid bottles away from pets and kids. It shocking how little it takes to kill.

Wow, thank you for all that info, I will look into each if the ones you mentioned and see which one works for me.

Sure, no problem.

My own upgrade path has been unorthodox, so there are some type of things I've never tried (most Chinese devices, clearomizers, etc.). but I'm mildly active on various forums so I have some idea of what seems to be working for new users. List of decent forums: ECF, Nu-vapor, Rebuildable E-Cigs Forum, UK Vapors, VapersForum, etc. Reddit has a good group of vapers as well.
ECF, UK Vapors, and Nu-vaper are the biggest and most friendly for beginners.

You all can go here and look at post #3. I want to blow this stuff out. Much of it is new.

I'm a big fan of the K100. An entire kit is under $40 shipped. I just bought one for myself after falling in love with my friend's setup. It's heavy; made from steel. Feels very durable, and really easy to use. I bought this exact kit, and bought a different atomizer (basically to build a clone of my friends setup). This is the only other part I bought for the K100.

I've heard the K100 by itself is fantastic; so you may not even want to buy that part in the second link. I'm just showing you what I bought. I'll vouch for the K100 though; after vaping my friends setup I had to buy one. Considering it's under $40 shipped (shipped from the USA in the first link), you can't beat it.
