Noob Question's

Hi guys, noob here. Quick question, I am keen to buy a starter kit, so far I am leaning towards the Vape King Pro Starter Kit but I am worried about the tank size. What I am not sure about is how do I know what parts will fit with what, e.g. can you add a nautilus tank to this kit?

What other starter kits give the best upgrade-ability?

Thanks for all your help :D

Hi @bwbwings. The battery has the standard 510 connection so the nautilus for example would fit its just going to look quite strange and out of proportion. But all your tanks will fit.

If you want something that you would upgrade and want to fit any tank on without it looking too strange I would go with something like the sid or mvp (just talking our products here there are of course other options only reason im using our is because you mentioned our kit) @Smokyg used a twist with an iclear 30b and then an igol for a long time he just recently upgraded to a mech and he was happy with it. So if you dont mind things looking out of proportion then that kit will get you far but if you do and you see yourself upgrading soon after buying it then I would go for something bigger

I've just converted, also wanted to go for the starter kit but they never had stock so I went for the mvp 2.0. Been vaping since Tuesday (must still give first feedback btw). It's been pretty good. I still have about 3 stinkies during the day but that might be because I opted for 12mg juice instead of 18mg. Don't be shy to ask @Gizmo at vapeking questions about compatability really nice guy.

Hey StroodlePuff, thanks for the awesome, prompt reply. I don't know if I am going to do hectic upgrades but am worried that what I get wont be enough (1.5ml's per day vs 5ml's per day, etc). I am not too sure how much I will need, it is all very worrying :p

Silly question: what is sid/mvp? I see you are out of stock for the INNOKIN ITASTE MVP 2.0, when are you guys expecting to get in?
 
They are just basically mods :) mvp is a winner imho its what I use at the moment and I love it feel no need to upgrade at all. We should have stock in again by Wednesday. There a eeviewd on both the sid and mvp on this site I will post links when I am on my pc again (on Tapatalk atm).

I fill my tank twice a day and what other people do is they may walk around with more than one tank or just carry an extra bottle of juice with. I do agree however the convenience of a tank such as the nautilus is something great and that is ultimately what I know I personally want in a pv is convenience. I hope this helps. Any other questions feel free to pop @Gizmo or myself a pm. I would rather advise in pm than general forum as I dont want to do too much product punting on the general forum.

The Vape King Pro Starter kit (currently out of stock but should be back in stock next week) is a very good place to start. At R550 for the kit plus a bottle of juice you are up and running with a decent setup... and some people will be happy to stay on that system for some time...

But if you want to go to a system that is upgradeable and will cater for different atomisers and batteries etc you should start with one of the following systems...

Option 1
MVP (Battery/Charger etc all included) R760
http://www.vapeking.co.za/innokin-itaste-mvp-20-laser-black-itmvpv2.html

Aerotank (Decent atomiser with decent size tank) R340
http://www.vapeking.co.za/kangertech-aerotank-aero.html

Spare coils for the Aerotank R140

Option 2 to follow in the next message...

Hi Rob, thank you for all the awesome info. I have been following your posts and you seem to have had very similar smoking patterns to me, that is why I enjoy your recommendations.

After all the feedback I am now leaning towards the MVP (What does that stand for?) as well as extra batteries and juice :D
 
@bwbwings, I agree totally with @Rob Fisher's options above if you are looking at upgrading in future. I am leaning towards option 2 as you can use those batteries in mech mods (you will learn about that later) as well and you can replace just a battery if it reaches the end of its life. The MVP (no idea what it stands for) is a battery by itself, think it is 2600 mAh, so it should last you at least a full day of vaping and you can charge overnight.
 
I've also been eyeing that kit, not quite sure if it will be within budget, if I need to get another tank and coils as well it may just push me into red. Also the iClear looks like a top coil, something I feel like avoiding for some reason (for the start at least)
 
I think option 2 is awesome but will go with option 1 for now (Gotta get for Wifey and I) and then upgrade to option 2 later (Will start a vape kit cupboard like Rob :p)

Good option. Yip this hobby can shake the wallet...and if you have to buy for two...., but at least it is still far, far, far better than stinkies which just ended up in ash (in 2 senses).
 
Hi @bwbwings

You definitely won't go wrong with the suggestions from the experienced vapers that have posted above. They have all given you great advice in my opinion.

Just a few extra things for you

I saw you mentioned a concern about the small tank (1.5ml) versus the big one (5ml). Firstly, let me say that 5ml is not normal. I think there are very few tanks that take 5ml, the recently launched Nautilus is one that I know.

Don't be too concerned with a 1.5ml tank though. I got a mini Protank 2 with a 1.5ml tank and a normal Protank 2 which has about 2.5 ml. I initially thought the 2.5ml was the better option.

However I found the following:
- the mini Protank2 has better flavour than the normal (Mega) Protank 2. This is quite well documented in various reviews and I can vouch for that.
- probably most importantly, I bought a second mini Protank 2, so I could have 3ml loaded up in the morning and two different flavours running at the same time. I find this has been an important thing to keep me interested and off the stinkies. I think it is very important to have two flavours and rotate between them. Not just the same flavour all day which one can get bored of. Also, having two tanks helps with refilling without too much cleaning. Some flavours can be filled in the same tank without cleaning and you don't get much flavour interference. Others interfere. So I generally have the rich dark tobacco sweet flavours in one tank and the light minty fruity ones in the other tank. I then don't have to clean them as often when changing flavours.
- having two full vaping devices is a must-have to avoid stinkies. If one breaks, goes flat or runs out of liquid, you have the other one. When you are on the go, this can be a life-saver. In fact, I have found to have two tanks and three battery devices is the way to go. Two in use and one spare.

I would much rather have two mini Protank 2 setups than only one setup with a much larger tank.

So, I understand you were trying to assess the upgrade path and find out which device would give you the best upgradeability. But I think you then lose the idea of what the starter kit is all about - simple hassle free vaping - with good performance and portability. And bear in mind, the VapeKing starter kit (or similar) is a fantastic vaping solution. Far from being a starter kit actually.

By the way, I have a dripper, a mech and a Kayfun - all high-end equipment. And I still use my mini Protank 2 tanks on my Spinner batteries for mindless allday vaping and portability. They give good flavour, a decent throat hit and are reliable and easy to work with.

I think you will find if you want to go for higher end gear at a later stage, you will probably buy a separate higher end battery unit and rebuildable atomiser of sorts - don't try turn your starter kit into that.

Just my opinion

My suggestion would be to buy 2 of those VapeKing starter kits and a third battery - if you have the budget. You will likely keep this gear for a long time.

EDIT - When I say mini Protank 2, what I mean is a good performance small tank with good flavour and allround performance. There are other tanks that I haven't tried that will do the job too I believe. Also, the mini Protank 3 is out and @Shako stocks it. I haven't tried it yet, but @Matthee and @Rob Fisher think it is a worthy successor to the mPT2.
 
Damn you people and all your great advice :p I am so torn.... I am torn between rushing out and buying now vs researching and getting the right product, I am torn between the Starter kit and the MVP, damn this is so daunting when you have a budget.

Thank you to all you guys, the feedback has been awesome :D
 
Get an MVP and 2 x Mini Protank 3's!

That way you can have two different juices for your day and a battery that will last you all day!

Hi @Silver,

Thank you for the detailed reply, I really appreciate your insights. I think you have convinced me to go with the starter kit and then take it from there. :D

And even when you are buying other stuff you will always still use both your MVP and mPT3's as I still do now!
 
What do you guys think of the dual EVOD starter kit? I've seen them on many sites and they look like a good deal, especially compatibility wise (can swap coils with Protank 2 & 2 mini). Having 2 of everything to start off with is one of the most important things from what I can tell, and this kit has it, it also looks like a great price for a newbie on a budget
 
A good perspective from @Silver, which we (@Rob Fisher and I) with many devices and tanks filled with different juices have maybe not given enough consideration. But, do keep in mind that the mini tanks will also fit and look well on the MVP and it is the easiest thing in the world to have more than one filled tank at hand and just switch tanks. That does, however, leave the point that if the MVP breaks, you will be in trouble.

Have never used EVOD so, unfortunately, cannot comment. What are the mAh on the battery?
