So this may be a random thread, but I thought I would share what I have learned since beginning to vape a few weeks ago. The terminology can be intimidating and there is definitely a learning curve to getting started. So in no particular order, here is the advice I can give based on my understanding. Please feel free to add to it or correct me.
1.Start with a low nic juice. I purchased some 24mg and had a very bad start. I am happy around 12mg with no ill effects.
2.Start with a decent battery or APV. I purchased a VV and VW mod and will never look back. It is hard to find what you like without some flexibility. It also makes a variety of tanks far more useful.
3.Buy a decent tank. I purchased some very cheap tanks and struggled to get a decent vape, My first tank I was happy with was an Kanger Aerotank on a VV/VW mod. I am now not smoking at all so it worked.
4.Learn about ohm's law. Everything in vaping comes down to how many volts through how much resistance. You will quickly learn that there is a lot of lingo about sub-ohms.
5.A mechanical mod is basically a battery that directly connects to a tank. The advantage here is that you can have a much higher wattage pushed through to the coil. Almost all sub-ohm builds will use a mechanical. This is pretty advanced and I am just now learning. A good VV/VW APV should keep you happy for real world use.
6.Have extras of everything if you plan on quitting smoking. It took me a bit to not have the emergency cigarette around.
7.Kayfun tanks are a good entry point to rebuildables. They are easy to work with and easy to understand if you look at how they work.
8.Don't get too wrapped up on the lingo. A decent VV (variable voltage)/VW (variable wattage) mod and a decent tank should get you a long way for quite a while. After wasting a lot of money on junk, I could have bought my current setup for around $60. I run a Vamo V5 and a Kayfun clone @ 1.5ohms.
