Advice for a begginer

[nate1234]

Hello

I want to start vaping, after a few years of smoking ciggarets.

I preffer a device that looks like a regular ciggaret, so i ordered an e-cig from V2.

Nevertheless, i wanted to get premium e-juice, in order to get great flavour while vaping, so i thought about ordering blank cartridges and filling it with e-juice, like "Blaco Note", that got great reviews online.

what do you think? is my way reasonable or that you would advice me to somthing else? and where can i get good blanks?

thanks!

Welcome to VU cig-a-likes are what I think you are describing, maybe look up ego type devices and some of the refillable tanks suggested for those.
Glad you found us

Thanks! Where do i look this up?

And also, do you think using e-cig that looks like a regular ciggaret will give the right taste? i see that almost everyone are using "mods" and hi-tech equipment...

There are so many out there now, it all depends on what style vaping best suits yours, start by maybe looking in some threads here, and reading about some of the different types, or maybe a google search. Here are some links to our mod and tank sections. Have fun

When I 1st got into vaping on a whim to try quitting my cigarette habit I purchased the Mistic Bridge Kit- I bought some of their Cool Ice and American Tobacco eliquids and some their menthol cartridges - that worked for me, I too wanted more of that cigarette feel and taste. I used those kits for months and then treated myself to the eLeaf iStick20(it had just come out) and a GSAir tank- and then sampled many non cigarette tasting tobacco eliquids( lots of trial and error)- then I got hit with the shinyitis bug and now have many mods and tanks.
I have never used the V2- but there are many reviews on You Tube- maybe watch a few? You Tube does help.
If you have a Vape Shop close by , visit and maybe try some juice- I am sure that you will need a higher PG for your type of tank, as VG is much thicker and may cause burnt hits, because of wicking issues. 50pg/50vg should probably be the most vg that cartridge will use.
Remember- you will need some will power too! Quiting smoking is difficult, but ecigs sure help- no way did any vape I tried taste like an actual cig, but close enough for me, cigarettes burn- vape does not! Good Luck and happy vaping!

Thank a lot, that's really helps.

If tou don't mind me asking, why did you switch over to use tanks and mods? Can you sum up the diefference?

For me, it was quantity.
The ciga-likes have small batteries and hold a small amount of juice. The tank and mod hold larger amount of juice and last longer between charges. When you first switch, you will find you will vape a lot more than you smoked, because the nicotine vapor molecules are larger and take longer for your body to absorb to get the same amount as you got from combusted smoke.

Some general information on equipment and juice.

Best of luck and congrats!
I started with something similar 3 years ago and switched to something else to get a more dense vapor production.
Just remember, its all about what woks for you at the time. Many of us switch for a variety of reasons, some because it becomes a hobby in it of itself. others do, to get more flavor or vapor, other still, because the performance, portability, and battery life is all different.

Yes more power, bigger longer lasting batteries and tanks and coils and mods!. Tanks last, you change out coils every few weeks at about a $1.50 each, way cheaper than cartridges which don't last sometimes more than a day, messy to refill- but great and easy in the beginning for me, who learned step by step on youtube.
Also in the beginning I used the Joyetech eCab, very easy kit to use and not expensive, that way you just refill the little plastic tanks, replace the coil very easy for the beginner! When I purchased these kits they were an incredible $10.00 each!

I had lne similar at one point.
Just charge the battery you're not using. in other words keep one charged at all times.

This is what I started with

You kit from V2 is very similar but doesn't come with any tank- cartridges only?
Another good kit would be Mig Cigs which take cartridges and tanks
https://www.migvapor.com/electronic-cigarettes/mig-21-vape-pen-kits/mig-21-clear-fusion-vape-pen-kit
It is nice to have the option of using tanks for your own eliquid as carts get expensive. I never used Mig but have a friend who swears by them- their disposable tanks get expensive too! The Mig Cig claims to hold their power till the end instead of getting weaker as you vape.

You will do fine with this- the main thing is this is a stepping stone for most of us- the cigalike, and mine worked to help me quit smoking and that is all that matters.
My cheap Walgreens Mistic ecigs helped me quit a 30+ year cig habit , after being told these are crap!
They worked for me, maybe not everybody's cup of tea, but I wanted like you easy, the same size as a cigarette and pretty close to the taste of one.
You will do OK with your purchase. We all start somewhere and many people have used the same kit as you to quit smoking!
