Getting started with Ecigi

Hi everyone! I want to quit smoking and was thinking of switching to e-cigarettes, then gradually reducing the nicotine amount.
Regarding this, I would like to ask for your advice. What kind of device should I buy (I was thinking of an MTL type), or where is it worth getting it from (it’s very expensive in the tobacco shop, and in Slovakia, only personal pickup is possible). I await your answers.
With thanks:

Hi! First of all, the most important thing is, congratulations on your first steps. Determination is the most important.

I think you’ve landed in the best place and among the best people here on vaperina :heart:
I am sure that we will be able to help..

Based on the amount of information you’ve provided, it will be very difficult to find the best solution for you..

So I have a few questions.
What kind of device would be ideal for you, broadly speaking?
With an atomizer? Or would you jump straight into DIY?
If with an atomizer, then a POD or a Mod and tank?

Money matters are also very important, it’s good to know approximately how much budget you have for this because you can get something from 5k forints… There’s no limit… Well, anything is possible.
That’s all for now.

Don’t spare us, write down anything that comes to your mind related to the topic… The more information, the easier we can help..
We definitely need to talk a lot more about this :joy:

Happy Vaping :heart:

I can only agree with the fellow poster above me.
At the same time, I would urge the use of the search function (magnifying glass icon top right); you’ll find many interesting things under the appropriate keywords.
You’ve already taken the first step, keep it up.
I recommend checking out the HealthCabin site if you have time to wait for the package.

Oh, and one more thing, what’s the cost, because other things are needed besides the device.
E.g.: Flavor, e-liquid base, battery charger, batteries (if the device isn’t an internal battery model), atomizer, wire, cotton, tools, etc.

I also strongly recommend checking out the Vaperina Bazaar. Some nice pod mods have been added recently; there’s nothing more beginner-friendly than pod mods.

Maybe @Sorivo Kornél will join the conversation soon too? :thinking:

In the first step, I was thinking of allocating a maximum of 20,000 HUF for the device and battery. I think that’s enough to start with. I’d like something that isn’t completely “beginner”, which I can use for at least half a year (or longer), so I don’t have to switch to another one after a few months. (I’m not interested in those cheap tobacco shop ones for 6-10,000 HUF). In the beginning, I don’t want to bother with DIY (coils), so I’d like a tank/atomizer. Later on, of course, I’d like a more advanced device. I think I would need an MTL type device. For the flavorings, base liquid, etc. (if it can’t be done otherwise, I’ll get them from the tobacco shop initially, but eventually, I’ll definitely need to think about “larger” quantities. If you could recommend a device based on this, perhaps where to buy it, suggestions, as well as advice and help regarding purchasing accessories (base liquid, nicotine, etc.). I welcome all comments and suggestions.

Initially, I’d check out LH :wink:
There’s a good reason for it: if you order in the morning or early afternoon, there’s a good chance you’ll have the stuff the next day.

The budget is tight, but I have a setup that would fit the budget and leave some room for future expansion.

I would vote for the Voopoo Doric Astra.
Fundamentally, it’s a great MTL kit. It does have a built-in battery, but at this budget, I don’t think anything else is an option, because if it’s replaceable, you need a charger and all that…
But a big advantage is the 510 platform.

Another big advantage is its current price.
It’s currently on sale at A&L, and you can also get everything else on this site… coils for it… flavorings.. nicotine.

Coils

Base liquid is also available cheaply in Hungary

If it doesn’t appeal to you, other options within this budget are regular Pod systems.

I agree with the Doric! It can be a great choice! I use it regularly alongside RTAs. Let’s say with another mod, but the one it comes with is also perfect as a starter :+1:

If you could stretch that budget a bit, I can recommend the Aspire Zelos X with a Nautilus tank and a 1 ohm coil. I really like it, it’s a great mod.

Of course, the mod mentioned above is also perfectly fine.

Man my friend, that would require quite a budget :rofl: but obviously, in the long run, that would be the ideal choice.

Mod + tank
Coils
Batteries
Battery charger

Yes. I really find Voopoo to be good. Could you please also suggest what else is worth buying if I order from the site you recommended. This includes base liquids, as well as any possible accessories and mixing ingredients.
Thanks.

I’m glad you like it..

Actually, what you need is a pack of coils.. @Peva71, please be kind and help with coil experiences.. but I guess the 1 ohm one might be the best.

I already linked that above..

Base liquid here at home is the cheapest if I calculate correctly, 6500 Ft including shipping for 2 liters.

But if you don’t want to order from multiple places but everything from here

Then here are two sizes

https://www.aromes-et-liquides.fr/e-liquide-de-base/1811-liquide-de-base-al-5050-525ml-.html

https://www.aromes-et-liquides.fr/e-liquide-de-base/3424-liquide-de-base-al-1l-sans-nicotine-.html

50/50 and base will be the right one for you.

You still need nicotine, which is also one of the cheapest at Al.. packaged in 10ml increments.
I can’t link it here because nectar cannot be advertised..

And what you still need is flavor, which is subjective, depends on what you want.. but if you ask here, you’ll get help with that too.. there are a few of us here who have tasted everything.

Maybe 1-2 more bottles for mixing

If you have all this, then you can throw the fking expensive stink stick in the ps.

Thanks a lot!
So, if I understand correctly, it’s worth ordering the device, the atomizer, the nicotine, and a mixing bottle from AL. The flavor concentrate, or the base liquid, can also be bought domestically.

Yes, I recommend the 1 ohm coil. The 0.6 ohm one isn’t bad either, but Dani handles it better for me :woman_shrugging: which isn’t around now.
By the way, I’ll note that it brings out sweet flavors quite strongly for me, so if someone doesn’t like that, they might not like it.

By the way, I use this v2 coil in it (the 1.2 ohm one). I don’t know the difference from the regular one

I’m using this one now too :blush: (while the RTA cools down in the freezer​:roll_eyes::joy:)

Flavors also from the base… and from home, the base liquid…

Hi :blush: have you managed to unscrew the frozen rta yet? :grin:
That ito… is it? :grin:
Nothing else, I just perked up to emphasize the sweetness :blush:

It was quite a struggle, I almost gave up :roll_eyes: luckily I read at @Orbit76’s that it doesn’t go that smoothly :joy:
I don’t know what’s in the v2 poti, look it up, but I’ll check too.
No other obsidi has such a fine sweet flavor :blush::heart_eyes:
