Explain e-cig components

[chellie]

Can someone explain some stuff to me.

I am using VUSE right now and want to buy my own gear eventually but I need to understand stuff.

With VUSE, I have a battery, cartridge and a charger. Very easy.

When I go to my local vape store do I get all those things plus juice to refill the cartidges and a syringe. I read about all other kinds of parts and am trying to get some advice. I want to reduce nicotine and eventually eliminate it.

2. Advancing Up the Vaping Ladder with Egos and Mods
3. Proper terminology - Is it a carto, a tank, or what? A Guide to Juice Attachments.

Here are some ways people have refilled/modded their cartos.

Wiki has a good explanation too.

Yes. It is easy.

With an eGo or mod e-cig you need those three things plus liquid. It takes 30 seconds to fill an e-cig. It will cost you far, far less and be far more effective.
A little less easy, but worth it.

Ok, that means your 'cartridge' contains both the atomizer coil and the flavor liquid.

Thanks everyone. I have been reading all the links and they help but I am still not there yet. I have looked on so many sites. What I am thinking (but not sure if I am right) is that I am going to go to my local vape shop and try to find a set-up I like. From what I read I think I want ceramic. Then I would think I would buy a set-up which is a battery, charger, tank and then ceramic tip? And then I fill the tank up each day I guess. My musts are a battery that lasts all day and that is semi cool professional looking and that it automatically turns on and off so that I do not have to push any buttons. When I look at some of the cigarette sites like greensmoke, and V@ they seem to have some things that i want but I want my own set-up and equipment and I want to be able to refill. Believe it or not, overall I am pretty smart but I am just very dense with this until I get used to it I guess. Thanks for the help and links.

Funny what a month or so can do. I have had a real set-up since 11-12 and getting the hang of it and now have dual coils that I change.

What setup did you buy?

What setup did you buy?

I bought a Johnson Creek Vea with the canteens. I like the Vea but the canteens did not last long so within 2 weeks I got their glass pro tank. Their kit came with two 650 maH batteries. I also bought an ego-t with evod glass tank. I've never messed with the cartridges and stuff. So far so good.
