How much did you pay?

If you are using a variable volt/watt or mechanical mod and that 100 dollars includes the tank, ejuice, batteries, and charger then that's not a bad deal at all.

Even a good vape pen with all the accessories and juice would run between 50-100+ dollars I would imagine.

What is your current set up, equipment wise?

 

I've chosen to pay 200 dollars, just because I want a better atomizer and a good flavor. Many people say it's a waste, I say it's a good choice.

 

I heard you can get a good vape pen for about 35 dollars for everything. Although I am really new, I'm not sure 100 dollars is a good price. I would think that's way expensive unless its some crazy good one. Then again the reason I am here is to learn about them and to see which are best for me. Hope you find what you're looking for.

 

If you want to get away from the vape pen and move into the mod/tank side of things 200 bucks is a nice budget but you can get a whole set up for 50 to 100 dollars (a full vape pen setup if a lot less).

I just went to my favorite vape e-shop and priced out a few good items and it came out to just under $180. I will post the links below.

Mod

Batteries - These are currently the most recommened for safety as far as the vaping community is concerned

Here is the flat top ones

Charger

Tank


For vape pen kits, I used this one which has lots of color options and is adjustable so i could run at anywhere from 3 ish volts up to like 4.8

The whole kit starts at $69.95 on sale.

This one, made by Innokin might be another good vape pen kit, it's listed at $56.81

In the end I would recommend an actual mod like the one listed at the top of the post because with those you can change your batteries out instead of buying a whole new vape pen body, additionally you can charge them on a safe charger (wheread the vape pens are charged via usb typically, and not all of them know when to stop charging).

 

How would I go about deciding what to buy? I'm so new that I don't even know what to look for! Do you have any favorite sites that offer a good beginners kit for someone like me who has smoked cigarettes and cigars but is looking to make the switch?

 

I typically do most of my shopping at Electronic Cigarette | E Cigarette | myvaporstore but their starter kits page only has a few that I would recommend. The rest use the disposable cartomizer cartridges that are shaped like the butt of a cig and those run out fast and you have to keep replacing them.

Basically, what I would look for is a kit that comes with a Variable Voltage body, a tank (instead of those cartridge things), and a charger or some sort.

The ones on that starter kit page that I would recommend are:

LOL i just realize I am not actually answering your question. To be more helpful, I should probably ask what your min/max budget is and if you prefer something smaller or larger like a cigar (they wont look like one but similar in size.

 

Usually, anything that's beyond 100 dollars is high quality and should never be underestimated. In my country, most vapers are cheaper than 100 dollars, which is bad.

 

I heard you can get a decent vape for around $40 dollars, you don't need to spend more than that for the complete set.

 

A complete basic set, with 2 CE-4 Clearomizers and 2 eGo-T 1100 mAh batteries cost me around 50$, wher eI bought it.
I might have been able to get it a bit cheaper though.

 

100 dollars is the best price if you want high quality and efficiency. 50 dollars is a decent price too, but I'd recommend you all to invest some more.

 

I'm seeing a lot of $50-100. That's what I thought would be a good price. I've just been buying cheapos (note the plural seeing as one broke) for less than $20. I think I'm switching to vaping for good so I'll have to expand my price range.

 

100 dollars for me as well. I got the a standard eGo kit with two batteries, two tanks, a 30 ml bottle of nicotine concentration of my choice and a recharger plus USB cable. I think it is a fair starting price, seeing that a pack of cigs costs nearly 5 euro`s/day.

 

$35 definitely sounds good to me. I am also new and I have a really cheap one. I'm just kind of wondering where the extra money goes. What exactly is it that makes one $35 and another $100?

 

My boyfriend started out with the $35 one and it was actually a bit more than he wanted to spend, he didn't have much success with it and after 3 weeks he realized it was a dud. He saved up for something more expensive, went to a shop that specializes in vaping and paid $125. I don't know the exact differences between something that is $35 vs $100 but if nothing else the $100 has longevity which will save you money in the long run.

 

Did you actually build it like you build a PC? Wow, this is interesting. I applaud you for doing it and thanks for sharing the products too.

 

I only paid 16 euro for mine in a small shop. It has a small battery but it was well worth the buy, works perfectly. I would never pay around 100 upwards for one, too much money. The one I bought for 16 euro is fine and there's no problems with it.

 

Sorry for the late reply. Yep I kinds looked at it like I was building a new pc. I went for the different parts I thought would work best, based on reviews that I read.

Unfortunately, that lead to me wanting to try other devices and parts so I kinda started collecting lol.

 

Wow, this is really interesting. But does it have any other advantage except the pleasure of collecting pieces? Is it actually cheaper?

 

I think, while not actually cheaper, custom made e-cigs probably produce more vapors and are generally more satisfying then stock e-cigs. Just take a look at the videos posted here in the forums. The amounts of vapors some guys create with their custom built gear is just crazy.
