New to forum & New to vaping..

[bigsmoke]

Hello people! Newbie here.

Stumbled across this forum earlier this evening... I have been toying with the idea of getting myself a kit to start vaping for a while, but am ready to take the first steps. (& hopefully quit, or at least cut down on actual cigarettes)

Currently smoke between 10-16/day. B&H Silver is smoke of choice.

I was thinking for getting a Vision Spinner Evod Kit: www.ukecigcabin.com/product/spinner-evod-iclear16-kit
But have also heard good things about the Riva 1100 Deluxe Kit: www.vapeescape.co.uk/Deluxe-Vaping-Kits/VE-Riva-1100-Deluxe-Kit/Vape-Escape-Riva-1100-Deluxe-Kit.html

Being a novice, am I looking at the right thing to start off with, which of the above would be the better product? (any alternatives you would recommend looking at)? 
What would I need to look at for spares? 

I see the Vision Spinner Evod comes with 60ml of eliquid supplied, is the eliquid that comes with any good? (will it be similar to what I am used to taste-wise?)

How delicate are these kits? Would I need to be careful when taking it to work/out and about for example? Does it need to be kept in case/can it be left in pocket?? (it seems quite big and the casing maybe bulky. I know this might seem trivial - but my pockets seem full enough as it is during the day, but I guess it could just take the place of a 20pack & lighter )

All for now. Any advice appreciated

Hello and bigsmoke

Both kits are excellent choices.

As for being careful i myself would not put it in my jeans pocket but jacket pocket is fine.

As you look like you are near the £60.00 mark you could also get this, you will then have 2 x very good variable voltage batteries and Evods plus charger, the only thing you won't get is a case (you can always add this to your order) and juice but to be honest 60ml of juice is risky as you might not like it, better to get small amounts of liquids to find out what suits you...here is the kit:

Hi bigsmoke

I can't add anything useful to what Super-Shiny has already said

[Perpetua]

A warm welcome to you Bigsmoke.




I'll +1 on Rom's great advice.

[DiscoDes]

good advice from Romelee

The Spinners come with a "Vaping Volume" control you can vary the ecig's output giving you more control of your vape.

[siffy]

Good morning, and welcome.

I second what Romelee said too. I love my spinner and Evod, just brilliant.

I agree too about the juice. I stocked up, as have no vape shops nearby, and regret it now. Have completely gone off the tobacco taste after two weeks of vaping. Looking forward to my atric cherry juice turning up.

Hello & welcome Bigsmoke

As you are in Manchester, you could try before you buy as Liberty Flights have a shop in Leigh -

And Vape Escape have a shop in Heywood -

Another sweaty day in the office over with

Nice surprise to see the welcome messages and advice waiting for me when I've logged back on this evening. Thanks everyone! Seems like a good community spirit here

I have decided to go with Romelee's advice, with everyone pretty much agreeing unanimously on here. I will try and visit the the Liberty Flights shop in Stockport on my lunch break tomorrow, as I work near by. I hope they let me try the setup before buying.

I will still be buying a case, so will have a look around. The one on their website at just over £8 (after discount) seems steep for a case, but it gets good reviews. Does anybody have any links to similar cases that would do the same for a bit less?

That would just leave juice to buy for now. What are the eliquids like from Liberty Flights? (any tobacco flavours they supply similar to what I smoke currently (BH Silver) from your experiences?) Being new to all this, there seems to be a mind boggling amount of eliquids & vendors to choose from online. I guess everyone has their own preferences to vendors, but any suggestions as where to start would be welcome.

Thanks very much again.

hi bigsmoke

cases are cheaper here, but you'll need to pay postage

www.ltecigs.larsentilbrook.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=69_118

or, if you're not in a hurry

www.fasttech.com/category/1411/electronic-cigarettes/MTc3PUUtQ2lnYXJldHRlfkNhc2U/

or check out your local £1 shop or B&M for Nintendo or Camera cases

[DiscoDes]

bigsmoke you can get a Nintendo case from the Pound shop, I guess you'll know how much it is!

Hi bigsmoke you are right there are thousands of juices to pick from in hundreds of flavours, take a look here paradisevapeuk.vstore.ca/ i got some Regal juice from there thats ok, (& they include a 5ml free sample with your order) you will probably need 18mg strength same as me as ii smoked about 15 Regal daily & 12mg was not enough i was still smoking as well as vaping, on good advice from here i went up to the 18mg & have not had a normal fag for 5 weeks, try some other juices too as well as tobacco as your tastebuds will change over the next few weeks

Hi And welcome bigsmoke

if you like fruit flavors the vermillion river are very nice they may even have some samples for you to try if your close to them i would buy a few 5mm bottles and see what you like .
Freedom smoke gummy bears is nice too for something sweet and different.
Other than that if their site is anything to go by you should be spoilt for choice on juices i would love to have one close to me:)
Be aware that the spinners turnt up will produce more vapour so u may find it easy to od on nicotine in high voltage id get some 5mm or 10mm botles in 18mg and maybe one in 24 then you will get a decent idea on what strengths suit you too and be aware higher volts= more nic so if u like to chain smoke turn the volts down a little after a few days you will get used to it:)
