Buying my first vape, could you help me out?

Hi everyone! I’m planning to buy my first vape, but the more I read about it, the more lost I get.

After 20 years of smoking, I switched to Glo 5 years ago. I used to smoke a pack a day of regular cigarettes, and my Glo intake was 1.5 packs a day. However, ever since they halved the tobacco content in the Veo sticks, I find myself going through 2–2.5 packs a day. I don’t trust those shady Poco, Elfbar, etc. products, no matter how much people keep recommending them.

According to Dr. AI, I would be better off—especially financially; spending over 130k HUF a month is quite a luxury these days—if I switched to liquid-based e-cigarettes. Based on my consumption habits, it recommended the Vaporesso Luxe Xr Max or the XROS Pro. For the Max, it put a GTX 0.8ohm coil, a Luxe Xr MTL pod (tank), and 18-20mg/ml nicotine strength tobacco or neutral-flavored e-liquid on the shopping list.

If I were to get the XROS Pro, it suggested the corresponding XROS 0.8ohm replacement pods and the aforementioned e-liquid.

It also tried to explain something about nicotine salt (NicSalt), which you can’t even buy here at home, but told me to order it from a webshop that doesn’t even exist anymore. :sweat_smile:

AI is good for many things, but it’s about as reliable as chatting with Aunt Manci next door, so I’d really like someone who actually knows their stuff to help me out and confirm this.

Where can I buy this gear in person in Budapest? A long time ago, every third tobacco shop carried this stuff, but nowadays I don’t see them anywhere. I’m a bit wary of ordering online so I don’t accidentally order things that aren’t compatible with each other.

If I end up having to order online, where should I order from to ensure it’s not a scam and I don’t get a counterfeit product?

Wouldn’t it be better to get a 1ohm or 1.2ohm resistance coil/pod instead of the 0.8ohm GTX?

I’d like my vape to have some flavor—I’ve gotten used to those sweet berry Veos. How should I solve that? I know you can’t buy pre-mixed flavored nicotine e-liquids anymore, but somehow others are still managing it.

Thanks a lot for the help in advance! :innocent:
