I know the Penguin doesn't have a 18650- but this is a great starter! Great price and vapes great- coils are long lasting and no leaking or breaking tank to worry about! I would get 2 of these- excellent mod!

I know people will chime in here saying this leaks- I have been using mine for almost 2 years daily and mine doesn't leak! I have only had a few leaks due to a bad coil, great vaper for me, when resting, leave on its side, I also charge the battery internally on this as that cap is a pain to get on.- coils are cheap and are easy to find!This is the mod that goes everywhere with me and I leave my more expensive and fragile gear at home.

What a list!

That seems like nearly every decent starter kit on the market. It doesn't answer my question but it sure does provide a huge treasure of information that I'll go through.

Thanks.

These all accept premade factory coils-
Not sure what your question is?
These are all great vendors- I have used them all plus many China shops, plus my local B&M which may be a good start to at least look at some gear and try eliquids . Usually free to browse at least you get to look and touch it- you tube has much info on all this gear, watch videos.
nothing is 100% with vaping- you still need some will power to help quit smoking- at least I did when I quit my 30+ year cigarette love affair!
There is so much gear out there today- many vapers have dislikes and likes- all subjective- so there is not 1 sure fire kit that will make you stop smoking cigarettes overnight, that is up to you! I stepped down a cigarete or 2 per day- Set my quit date 2 weeks into vaping and just stuck with it! Haven't had a cigarette since Dec 1,2014! I used Gas station Mistic Bridge cigalikes and cartridges and Haus liquids( no B&M shop at the time) and I managed to quit smoking by using that for many months! Then when the shop opened up I bought my 1st step up gear- the Innokin iTaste vv/vw with Kanger Evod 2 glass tanks, haha- hey it worked for me, because I wanted to quit cigarettes!

All good information. The question was which is the cheapest? The question parameters are in the OP.

Not looking to actually buy the cheapest at least not right now. I am just curious to know what it is especially if I need an emergency backup in the future.
Ooops must have mis read this- not the cheapest- the cheapest?
Much easier if you said the price on what you can afford- What do you think you would want to pay! Even China prices have gotten much more expensive! You probably should have gotten in on that sale at Heaven Gifts on the
https://www.heavengifts.com/product/Joyetech-eVic-VTC-Mini-Full-Kit-with-TRON-S-Atomizer.html -
6 left in the Cyan color $2.00 each even with shipping- these are great starter kits- you will not find cheaper! If I were you I would jump on these!
I know that many have used this kit and have had great luck with helping quit cigarettes and even becomes great back up gear- don't know why you are dead set against clearance? Seems like these are affordable enough for you! Heaven Gifts is a great vendor and you will get these pretty quick!
Unless you are looking for PIF gear- maybe try on that forum and ask

http://vapingunderground.com/forums/pay-it-forward-pif.403/

Not gonna find much cheaper for a box mod,Tank that needs an 18650 battery and you want to make sure it is well built and will last!
Internal battery mods would be much cheaper- that is why I threw the Penguin in there-

These are about the best prices at US vendors unless a monster sale comes up on Halloween or Black Friday! There are usually big sales from Black Friday till New Years! Now you could save up for your gear by then.

In my opinion one of the least expensive kits or the best value is the Pico Kit. I normally do not buy the cheapest anything.

I might have to since I need to replace a phone with a V20 as well and had unexpected major expenses. Not going to buy a cheap vape mod and atty when I do. This thread was just a curiosity question.

I was thinking Pico is about the cheapest mod worth buying but not the cheapest when a separate MTL atty has to be purchased.

I have never seen the Pico for sale without it being a full kit. Not saying they do not sell it alone but I did suggest the Pico Kit

The kit comes with a Melo 3 Mini Tank. That is DL not MTL.

$37.20 total. I guess it don't get cheaper than that in the US if anywhere and PayPal insured.

Please explain how you inhale without it going through you mouth~
DL is what these types of attys are called. I didn't make it up. Most people strongly recommend MTL for smokers to start with since it far more resembles the pull off a cigarette.

I was not asking you to explain what DL/MTL supposedly means. I want you to tell me how you inhale into your lungs without it going in through your mouth.

As I sit here using the Pico and a Melo III Mini inhaling into my mouth and then into my lungs no differently than using a Nautilus Mini.

Haha-
Besides easy enough to change the drip tip for a tighter draw! I agree that the Melo tank is more of a MTL tank- I just don't care for metal drip tips!
You are also able to use the 1.0Ω Aspire Atlantis coil option for even tighter draw,lower watts!
Or the Aspire Triton 1.8Ω coil

4. Two Choices of E-liquid Capacity:
The MELO III comes with a e-liquid capacity of 4ml and the tiny MELO III Mini has a e-liquid capacity of 2ml.
5. Heat-insulated Metal Mouthpiece:
The metal mouthpiece packs with excellent characteristic of heat insulation

I just changed out the metal drip tip on mine.

I think the only Melo III Mini that comes with a metal drip tip is the Rainbow color but not 100% sure on that.

Love the Copper and Black!

Loving the dual battery mods!

My RX200S is my daily beater but I use many MOD's during the day depending on my mood. I have been using my Rafale Sub Ohm tank since Friday as the main tank.

That is for sure- I use my Nebox as my daily beater- had that for a year and a half- goes everywhere with me- no leaking unless a bum coil- love the vape and coils, OCC & SSOCC, are cheap and easy to get! I have 2 more Neboxes in my storage, the prices have come down on those, under $14.00 that I couldn't resist! Love mine!

The RX200S is good - it seems to be the only mod you can drop on the ground 50 different times (yeah I exaggerate, but that's what it feels like for me, as I get a really bad case of the dropsies sometimes, LOL :oops:), and have it keep chucking. My box is scratched to hell as a result, but it's still working.

From what I've read on here, it's got a delicate 510 though. Personally, I've not had problems with it (I've had mine for almost 3 years now), but it's something you should keep in mind.

MY RX200S got dropped so man times if it was the POS the reviewers claim I think it should not be working any more to be honest. The battery cover flew across cement and asphalt so many times the paint finally started bothering me with all the chips. A polishing with Jewelers Rouge worked wonders..

Looks professionally done. Nice job. I've gotta give that a shot. I was looking into maybe using a Sharpie to fill in the scratches, but kinda afraid to since I'm not sure how that's gonna turn out.

DSCN0513[1].JPG

Slightly off-topic, but I noticed your box is the reverse of mine colorwise. Blue was my favorite out of the colors my friend had. Gonna get one of those gold T-privs soon though. My mom's got a pink one. Great box, except hers is a little too "feminine" for me. :p
