If budget is no issue I would get a Provari, some batteries and a charger, an Anyvape Davide tank with a box of spare atomisers at 1.8 ohms and liquid of your choice.
Have you tried a Provari, they offer nothing over any other decent mod imo, just a brand name. If I was going in that direction I would then buy a Billet Box.
Yes I have tried a Provari, I own two.

The best quality mods I own, made in the USA rather than China with their hit and miss QA.

The guy said budget was no issue.

Being made in the USA doesn't automatically make them any better built, my Hammer was built by some bloke in Korea and I'm pretty sure I could use it to break down a door with the heft of it!

Best advice guys please. Have been using a Kanga T2 with an eGo battery for a while now but seem to be going through coils at a ridiculous rate and flavour seems to have vanished. Coupled with that the last box of coils/wicks I bought were nearly all faulty

Can anybody recommend a clearomiser at the budget end? What about the MT3 or the Evod?

Both good, as is the protank and the iclear...

I go with if it's dual coil and there's been no significant gripes online, it'll be worth the low outlay...

Recommended by a lot on here, the Aspire range are great.

I've just ordered this, not cheap at £30. But seems to be the best "plug n play" without getting into build yourself kit.



I'll put my thoughts up when I've used it a bit.

Thanks

Think I might give an MT3 a bash as the larger capacity means I don't have to carry liquids about with me biggrin

OK guys, think I am about to take the plunge, have been reading through this thread and whilst very informative, I have got a bit confused as to what a good set-up is, and how the whole things work - think the problem is I started at the beginning and many brands have now changed name or products superceded.

As many have also commented, I have tried the OTC e-cigs/nicolites etc and was not very impressed so would like to try a more robust version. Given the amount of money I have spent on cigarettes I don't mind spending a bit to get a reliable and usable setup.

I have seen the Mini -protank kit as suggested above - are there any must have additions I should add to this to prevent being caught short? (extra battery? extra tube? (that liquid goes in (told you I was confused!))Would like to make sure I have extras so that if something packs up I am not tempted to go back to cigs whilst I am waiting for spares). There seem to be numerous vendors, is all the kit interchangeable? Is the Mini-protank the best starting point? Seems to be a huge price spread between that and the Provari, someone else suggested.

Lastly where is the best place to buy the liquid and recommendations of liquids? Given the unregualted nature I am slightly dubious of just buying liquid online. It seems the vendors of the actual e-cigs seem to have limited varieties of liquids and people go to separate liquid suppliers.

Could osmeone point me in the right direction of a good vaping guide - thought I sort of understood, now reading about cartomeiser (sp) - what are they? do they all use liquid?? Going round in circles!!

Hopefully I have made sense with my questions and apologies if some of them seem obvious or have been answered before.

Thanks in advance

Without spending a fortune, see my setup on the previous page. Vision spinner 1300mha with a Apire BDC clearo. All off eBay for about £35. Get some spare coils for £10 and then it's up to you to find what juice you like.

That set up will keep you going for a while. smile

Try something different from Kanger.

The Aspire mini Nova is excellent.

I agree with Eighteeteewhy, Aspire tanks are the ones to have.

There are so many e-liquid vendors though, it's hard to know where to start.

You could do worse than Health-e-Vape, I've had some very nice liquid from them in the past.

You could try asking on one of the UK forums like UK Vapers or Planet of the Vapes.

I've been buying my liquid from these guys

http://www.smokshop.com

Price is OK, delivery is prompt and they have a fairly good range with a nice variety of nicotine levels. Cherry flavoured Cigar is my liquid of choice at the moment.

ecigwizard are based in Peterborough and do mail order liquids. They also seem to be opening shops up at a rate of knots smile

Not sure what it's called, but Innokin have released a great little mod with the electrics from a MVP (vv/vw) in a square mod similar in size to your spinner battery...

Quick question. If I want less smoke, do I need to increase or decrease the ohms of the coil? Currently have 2.4 ohm fitted but the amount of smoke it generates makes me cough badly.

I know its the amount of smoke as I was in a shop earlier trying new flavours and didn't cough once but wasn't using my tornado.

Can anyone suggest or supply a link for decent coils for my Evod. I've been buying them from the local shop but the quality isn't there. Some are fine, and some just don't work.

Also, what does ohms mean when choosing a wick? My shop doesn't have a choice, just wicks / coils at £2. ( i assume a coil is the same as a wick? )

To anybody still on cigs, go for it! I have went from 40 Marlboros a day to zero overnight with my Evod

Cloud9vaping sell only quality stuff and they stock genuine Kanger eVod coils.

The lower the ohms the more vapour and more 'throat hit'.

In this case coils, wicks, heads, atomisers all means the same thing.

Also, if some of your new evod coils are not working at all, it may be they are not making contact with the battery.

Have a look here:

Ok it looks a bit ridiculous on my spinner, but wow!
Aspire Naultilus, with adjustable air flow. I've read nothing but good things about it and now I see why. Loads of vapour and really brings the flavour of the juice out.
