I see a LOT of posts in this forum about "What do I need to get started" and things like that. People that started with BLU and others that find it is not very affordable and battery life is awful etc... I thought I would post a pic and description of my kit that never leaves my side these days, costs, and such. Maybe it will help someone else, maybe not. Either way I am bored at work so here it is lol. First I bought a starter kit from VapeDudes but they are available everywhere for similar prices. The kit contained the two smaller EgoT 1000mah batteries shown below, 2 CE4 clearomizers (I use T2s now and that is what is pictured), 3 10ml bottles of liquid, and all charging accessories. I get over 24 hours out of each batter per charge if I am using one exclusively. They run about 3.5v and hold full power the entire cycle from full charge to blinking that they need to be charged. Cost $38.99 Then I ordered two Vision Spinner 1300MAH batteries to be able to experience variable voltage. They are more affordable than one would think that is using a pharmacy-mall kit. I get 30-36hours out of one charge if using them solely, but usually I have two in action at the same time. I like the way some taste better on the smaller batteries from my started kit and some at higher voltages on the Spinner. Cost $24.95 x 2 = $49.90 The T2 clearomizer, made by Kanger, also called the Ego CC Longwick Clearomizer is my favorits clearo. It holds 2.4ml (more than the mini nova at half the cost), is super easy to fill because the coil head sticks well above the rim of the tank making it virtually impossible to get liquid where it shouldn't be. Great vapor and throat hit too and they never leak, at least in my experience. The only minor downside is you have to check the coils tightness each time you take off the lid because it fits so tightly onto the top of the coil. Usually mine unscrew a small amount each time I refill. Oh replacement coils are about $2 and I find depending on the liquid and voltage they last 2-3 weeks on average. Cost: $4.39 x 5 = $21.95 The extra large Ego case is a must for me, it fits in my pocket, and makes everything extremely mobile. Cost $11.95 Total cost of everything pictured is around $120. I would also always have a second charger and wall adapter (About $10). I mean, that is about the same cost as 2.5 cartons of analogs and outside of liquids and coil head replacements this will last me approximately 2.5 years if its all I use (using the 300 charge cycle battery life average). I have estimated the cost of the liquids I use to be a cost of about .50 cents per ml and I go through about 2ml a day. Thats $1 a day for liquid and about $2 every few weeks for replacement coils. Just thought this might help some noobs, like I was oh not so long ago. I try and absorb myself in things I do and learn everything about them. Anyway this is my set up, glad to answer any questions you may have. I so appreciate all the advice I got here and want to pay back any way I can.

A case is a handy way to not ever have that happen again. This is what is with me pretty much everywhere I go for any extended period of time lol.

I always have at least 3 fully charged backups at all times.

Sucks! Nothing says it better.... i feel for you. Thieves are way low on the food chain. Right there around maggots. Lost a Les Paul once. Talk about mad. Hug your kids. That will help

I know, I have been on him to get them. I need to order a couple. Maybe I will swim with one in the lake tomorrow and have a good excuse to order another lol.

Oh gosh, I did toss a heavy sentence or two out there didn't I. LOL Sorry about that. I've so got to take a breath now and again. Thanks for bearing with me and ... for your compliments as well. LOL, that made me giggle. I'm no expert, believe me. Vision Spinner is a must have. Vamo is a great VV/VW affordable mod. (if you have good memory for how to access the menu). (it's also way tall and kind of awkward in public. You'll appreciate your Spinner in public, trust me). Made in China. Mini Provari V2 is VV and rocks the house with the easiest to use menu because you don't have to memorize anything, just push the one button. It's built to last through the WWZ too. Made in America. Expensive, but worth every penny. Mechanical Mod's have no wires, no electronics and nothing to break but springs which are easily replaceable. Yet, with a gadget called a "Kick" you can turn it into a Variable Watt wonder. (set the watts and your atomizer becomes your favorite sweet spot vape no matter what it's OHMs is). I'll stop here. promise!

I would suggest trying the Kanger T2 also known as Ego CC longwick clearomizer. When I changed from CE4s to those it changed my entire vaping experience.

I don't let myself get into situations like that.

I chain vape and listen to my non smoking friends when they encourage me not to smoke since I have not in just over a month. Will power my friend

Vaping is funny.. for me at least.. not funny haha but funny odd.. When I was a smoker, I smoked camels all day, every day, times 30 (pack and a half) I never thought about having another "flavor" .. I used to complain about how much they cost, and dreaded my daily trips to get my "last two packs".. NOW... I dont have a problem spending the money on batteries, tanks, attys, wicks, flavors, liquid nic, bottles, drip tips... you get my point... Now it seems I'm never satisfied.. Perhaps Im just filling a void. Perhaps vaping has made me a SHOPAHOLIC too.... I just smile, and hit the order button... Since I couldnt decide exactly what I wanted, at least not yet, I infact, just purchased two more twists, and 5 more attys this afternoon.... sigh... My name is Krystal and Im a vapaholic!!!!

Awesome suggestions all. Just ordered a sampler of Dragon liquids from ECBlends.

My wife left a note on the fridge, " Its not working. I cant take it anymore. Im going to my Mom's place." I opened the fridge. The light came on. The beer was cold... What the hell is she talking about?

Krystal, I am doing the same as you. I started off small and I keep taking these mini steps getting bigger and better and now, I too, am looking around for a good MOD to try. I get mostly all of my advice from this site of experts. I bet one day you and I will be able to talk about this stuff like Uma does. Now that is one smart and well informed lady when it comes to the mechanics of vaping. Heck, I don't understand half of what she is talking about. I do see that she is suggesting the mini Provari V.2. That might be the way I go but I don't understand anything about the kick. That is the first time I have heard about that. I don't think we, or I should say I, will ever get satisfied and stop taking these steps getting bigger and better. Heck, that would take all the fun out of it. LOL

Be great if they made 1 that you could just screw your juice bottle to and it fed directly on a atty
