Help a brother get started!

Hey guys,

So I'm new to vaping. I recently got a Vuse cig-a-like thingy from a Camel rep at a bar for free, and I enjoyed it, but didn't really want to keep going with it because it offered no variety in terms of flavor (2 choices) and I know the experience can get a lot better if you invest in a better set up. I have also always really enjoyed hookah, too, and vaping to me almost seems like a superior form of hookah in a way. I am posting to ask about recommendations for purchasing my first set up. Here are some facts that might help you to help me:
  • I'm not a "smoker-turned-vaper." In other words, I don't really have a cigarette addiction that I am looking to curb by vaping instead. I do smoke cigs, but I do so very infrequently. I would plan on getting eJuices that are nicotine free and low nicotine. I am going mainly for experience, clouds, and taste.
  • I want a set up that is at least mid-high quality and will put out a lot of vapor. Please don't recommend a starter kit because I know that I like this and am willing to drop some $ on it. My max budget is somewhere in the $100-$150 range.
  • That being said, I would prefer something relatively low maintenance. From what I've gathered via research, it seems like a lot of this stuff can be extremely customizable. That might be cool for me later down the road, but for right now I would like something a little easier to set up and maintain.
If there is any other info I can offer that would help, lemme know and I'll provide it! Thank you, I really appreciate the help! :)

I've been real happy with my Aspire Nautilus powered by a eLeaf iStick. I have only had to replace the coils, every 5 weeks or so, and replace the glass tank when I drop it on hard floors. Both are easy to replace. And right now you can get both for under $60.

eleaf istick 30 or 50, and a Kanger subtank mini or a lemo. Run you about 60-$70. Start making your own juice. The stuff you buy at shops or over the internet is overpriced shit.

I also recommend the Istick... have a 20 right now, and ordering a 50. Running a Fogger with it.

I'd go with the iStick 50, and a Kanger Subtank Mini. The iStick gives you some more power, if needed. The Kanger Subtank Mini comes with a RBA, when you decide to make your own coils, instead of buying the replacement coil heads.
 
thanks everyone I really appreciate the advice! I think I am going to get an iStick 50w because I keep coming across that again and again from different sources (even the guy at my local shop recommended it), but still unsure about the tank. good stuff :D

check out vapeNW. They usually have the best prices, from what I've seen. They sell the 30 for 29.99 and the 50 for 39.99

MyVaporStore was one of my first suppliers. I like MVS.
