Newbie "Hello" + a step in the right direction

[faghag]

Hello you big bunch of Poofers

Now that my enormous pile of foreign ciggys have all gone, i thought it would be the perfect time to take the plunge and buy an e-cig.

I've done a bit of research.... and just have no idea where to start!

I would LOVE to have one that actually looks like cigarette, but looking around they all seem to have very limited poofing power

Being a lady, i didn't really want anything huge and hideous sticking out of my mouth! But I noticed the Screwdriver MK11 and the Tornado Tank - mainly because of their long battery life and the Tornado Tank looks easier to fill than others.

I am not into menthol or other types of flavours - i have a 10/15-cigarette-a-day habit which i would like to replace.

I would be extremely grateful to anyone who could give me their opinion on what you think would suit me best and I look forward to contributing in the future when i am a fully fledged poofer!

Hello Faghag & welcome to Poofers anonymous

You are so right, the ones that look like real cigs do have very limited poofing power

I'm a lady (well sort of) & mainly have this one (a GGTS) sticking out my gob



But have to confess I started off with a super-mini - it worked but....

[Chrissie]

Just to add to above, the first big battery mod I bought was the Screwdriver MK1 - fantastic improvement on the generic smaller e-cigs but I never really liked the button placement.

Can't help you myself re the tanks as I've never used them but I have tried a Tornado/Riva sized e-cig & it's not that big At the moment I sound like a record with the needle stuck as I keep recommending the Liberty Flights Riva - it's about the best price with the 15% discount code ECR69

Or there is the Ego style kit from ecig wizard - 10% off with the discount code AAECIG2011IRJ

Wow, that looks amazing...

They're probably out of my price range, although this one wouldn't be...

If i bought that what else would i need to buy?

Thank you for the reply!

[Chrissie]

If you went for the GGTB you would need the following : -

Some batteries, preferably these : -

A battery charger : -

Some atomisers : -
e-cigz.co.uk/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_19&products_id=50

And some e-liquid of your choice - all sort of adds up to a fair bit for someone just starting out so may be best to go for the Riva I linked to in my previous post plus some e-liquid

[Aldo]

hi faghag and welcome !
what's your price range again?
for the GGTB I guess you would have to spend about the same amount of money as it costs to be ready to go (maybe a little less...) but that would def. be starting with the right foot !
anyway welcome again and I hope you amuse yourself here in the forum! it's an amazing community

[faghag]

i have gone for this;

www.ecigwizard.com/shop/starter-kits/96-ego-style-premium-starter-kit.html

Maybe in time i will go for the GGTB... Got to be careful not to run before i can walk

Thanks for the advice, and i'll post a review once i get going

[Chrissie]

A good choice Hope you used the discount code I posted ? You will also need some e-liquid to refill your cartridges. Some great flavours @ good prices from Paradise Vapes : -

Great to see you Faggy - looks like you're getting off to a very good start

Welcome!

You've already saved yourself some money before I even got here!

I was a ciggy-look-a-like person too... I didn't listen to the advice here and bought one... within two weeks I was fed up with crap battery life and the fact that it still looked like a ciggy and so bought another kit. Since then, my collection has grown - all of them mods that bear no resemblance to a ciggy at all!

Good luck!

Received it today, how quick was that delivery??!! Impressive.

I only arrived home at 8pm and have had to charge it up on USB - wall charger wasn't in the box! - so i only just started vaping about 20 mins ago. Its 16mg's and seems the right strength ATM but i am sure time will tell. I can already see myself OD'ing on my first night

I'll do a proper review after a week or two for a more detailed account of my experience.

Thanks guys for all the help and simply just for the existence of this forum - its a minefield out there so the guidance and information was very much needed.

[faghag]

just a quick question.. when you buy your liquids, and it says "base" - then it gives you the option of VG only + 50/50, what does this mean?
???

[beeper]

VG= all Vegetable Glycerine
50/50= half VG, half Propylene glycol

[Chrissie]

Faggy, email ecigwizards to let them know the mains charger was missing.

E-liquids are based on VG (Vegetable Glycerine) or PG (Propylene glycol) or a combination of both.

VG gives you more vapour & PG more throat hit. So a 50/50 mix sor of gives you a happy medium

[Chrissie]

Lol Beeps, hope you don't think I was ignoring your post - don't laugh but I can never remember how to spell Propylene so have to google it Hence my slow crossed post
