Starter Advice

IsaBrown

I'm new to this vaping thing and want to give it a try but not sure where to start.

Are the following a good starting point and does it include everything I need?

• Kanger T3 Clearomizer
• Fast USB charger for Joye eGo/Tornado/ECO eGo/Riva
• Joye eGo-C Twist VV Battery
• 10ml eLiquid PG Flavor : BensonAndHedges / Gold & Silver / BH Son, Strength : 18mg
• 10ml eLiquid PG Flavor : Coffee, Strength : 18mg
• 10ml eLiquid PG Flavor : ButterScotch, Strength : 18mg

Is that the mains charger or charger lead or both, you could do with both.
Would also go with 2 batteries so you use one and charge 1.
Also more than 1 T3 could do have a spare.

Other than that a good starting point

And dont expect the B&H to taste like B&H

I'd add a second battery so you can vape while the other is charging and a second t3 as vaping the same juice all day can get a bit boring. Good luck!

EDIT I'd also suggest getting at least 1 of your juices in a lower nic as I went for 3 x 18-21mg when I started and they had me doubting this vaping thing as they were too high and the throat kick was too much. I went on the juice review thread the next day and ordered a stupid amount of the best reviewed juices (Wingnut's from e-smokeireland) at 12mg and haven't looked back since. Everyone's different though and maybe you'll like higher nic concentration.

Thanks, a plug for charger, a second battery, a second T3 and diifferent strength juice it is.

Hi.
Have you seen the kit on e smoke Ireland you will get 2 batteries and probably work out cheaper buying the kit.

I received mine yesterday, and I think it's brilliant, also u get to choose 5 premium wingnut juices, which are really nice.
You will get everything needed to start vaping right away.

It was recommended to me on this site by people that know a whole lot more bout vaping than me haha.

Yeah, was looking at that earlier today but there's a problem adding it to the shopping cart. It works out a lot cheaper but when a website doesn't work properly I become very suspicious.

Ah yes just noticed this, they are a very popular website around here, I'm sure everyone else will confirm this.

What to do is you need to contact them, more than likely they will get back to you soon, I had to email them to, because they were waiting for batteries to come in stock. I was emailing both Paul and Sabrina and both were very prompt answering my questions on a Sunday day and night.

Also there is a discount code "boards". You'll get a further ten percent off.

Here's the link of the post I made last weekend asking what to buy.

I have had problem once adding to cart from their website, and it turns out when they are out of stock on a product it will not allow you to add it to cart, unfortunately it doesn't let you know the item is out of stock, you just have to figure it out yourself.
They are a great website and people to work/order from and it only happens when you cannot so dont have any worries on that count.

I'd advise you to get the Kanger T2 starter kit from e-smokeireland also, easy to use, I've no complaints at all with it, got it last Oct

Personally I wouldn't bother with tobacco flavour juices, much nicer ones out there, try swedish fish, pear drops, pulmans peach all from the above, usually delivered in a day or so, I've found them very reliable

Best of luck

Bye the way, advice is to leave your juice steep for a few days before using, few days with cap off in a dark place, only found this out myself yesterday, improves the taste seemingly

Go for it. (Sorry if this is in the wrong place - using phone, PC ill) (will sort out when back on PC)

My gf and I got the Kanger/650 Ego 9 days ago, now and havn't looked back.
(I should say we both smoked Cutter's Choice with slim filters. But mostly I preferred to use no filter and roll into a cone). Anyway...
Since then we've bought a tonne of stuff and I/we had questions and they (esmoke) were very prompt with replies.
No regrets here.

Only thing is a few psychological jitters.
I find just turn up the voltage and burn my throat/lungs into submission helps.
Also, I'm actually liking the flavours.
Tobacco it is not (which I initially wanted), and now I feel/say, thank god: I'm currently sucking on RY-C920mg like there's no tomorrow. It's kinda sweet but has a ciggy like bite. The nicotine, I guess. Peppery.
I've found (so far), if you get the jitters/nagging, put the voltage up, say 4.2 and take 3 good hits as parts of one full inhale. Try to 'coat' the nose and throat as much as and for long as possible. If needs be, take a good drag into your mouth, wait, push it out slowly and as the vape rises breathe in through your nose. Gives a bit of a kick.

I've been experimenting with an AGA-T+ for a few days now and you know what?!? It has actually been fun. Also bought mesh & wire to rebuild the T3's (& aga). Costing a bit though.

Could just stick a tube of chemically saturated/worked 'tobacco' leaf into my mouth, set fire to it and give my cilia another workout though!
Sorry, forgot. To (kind of) answer the question: yes, sounds good, everything you need.

The Kanger T3 is excellent, as is the vv twist. I have the 650 & get about 6 hours with it. Varies: drinking, working, showering etc.) Today I got 11 hours, working in the garden (prob stronger pulls but less often).

(Note: one doesn't smoke an ecig, but just uses it when ever one wants. Unlike a normal cig, you don't have to finish it).

But you should be aware the Kanger's quality varies. All in all it's brilliant but you may get an atomiser that leaks/gurgles on the first day. Or not. Seemingly demand has required outsourcing. The hardware is fine, but wick/coil quality can be poor. Anyway, if you buy a bit of wire and either ss mesh or silica wick you're set for a long time.

As for your choice of liquids, well, try 'em. Believe me, there is no tobacco flavour. See? Flavour. Not that ashy, flaky mess that... oh, wait and see! First, being a smoker, one can't smell much anyway. Then things heal. You'll cough some, what-with clearing lungs etc. But you'll still be vaping, not smoking. And a 20mg juice definitely takes care of cravings. After a few days the (whatever) eliquid is more than paltible, nice even.

And one more thing, regarding juice for one that is both unsure yet wishes to have a tobacco flavour: not going to work. (I even got the Cigarillos Naturallos) But, so far (only my experience) I have found the RY-C9 to be a good compromise (slight sweet aftertaste, good throat hit, nice).

The reason I may sound a bit ambiguous is that in a mere 9 days my tastebuds seem to have changed. Not sure which way, haywire. And my lungs are going nuts.
Presumably yours will too.

Not to mention the psychology of smoking. If you want to, do. If you don't, don't. If you want to experiment with a nicotine replacement product, well, do then. Your choices are limited: Niconelle (or similar products) or vaping. No one says you must quit. You don't even have to quit, with vaping. If you move from smoking to vaping then, I guess you're next plateau would be nicotine reduction.

Ok, I feel I must share an observation here: on my fourth day, I tried a rollie, hoping for that 'pull/hit/strong taste/something' - I couldn't finish it. Definitely sounds rightous but no kidding, just how I felt. Slightly queasy, glad to (vape). Horrible taste. The vape was fresher & cleaner. Still get the nicotine though.

One more thing: take a fairly long draw, then inhale. Do it twice if you want. Cig smoke has much smaller particles and thus a much more efficient nicotine delivery system than vaping/vapour. If its not good enough and you 'need' more, and you have a variable voltage device, turn it up a bit. The vape will be warmer, you may taste more and it should hit harder. Or, try taking 3 half second draws & inhales. (Experts: sorry, but my tastebuds are still screwed).

Anyway, good luck with whatever you do. Your choices are sound, to me, but you may find that this warrents much more exploration, social media and money than you anticipated. But **** it anyway, think of your lungs. Let the begrudgers begrudge themselves into a sweaty ball.
