Consider the the MVP.

1. Huge (2600 mah) battery
2. Variable Voltage - Voltage can be adjusted from 3.3 ~ 5.0 in 0.1 volt increments
3. Variable Wattage - Wattage can be adjusted from 6.0 ~ 11.0 in 0.5 watt increments
4. Ohms Meter - Reads the resistance of your atomizer
5. Ability to vape while charging
6. $40 shipped at many online stores

I run a RTA (Kayfun Lite+v2) on one of mine.

Best one for size and power is Vaporshark DNA 30 ($169.00). You can get the cheaper Chana mods but sometimes there good or sometimes there bad. Bad meaning the 510 connection are terrible non adjustable. Your RDA will not mount flush. I've thrown two away because of bad 510 or chip going crazy. The Vaporshark 510 is self adjusting, spring loaded.

1.2 ohm single coil in a origin dripper and vaping at 22 watts. You don't want to sub-ohm a box mod unless its one of those 100+ watts mods.

Here's my Vaporshark DNA30 I described. Not my Marlboro by the way. I just used it for size reference.

I run a ETA (Kayfun Lite+v2) on one of mine.
The mvp is a great start for a beginner and safe. This way the battery is regulated.
I was wondering what would be a good cheap box mod for dripping and what reasonably cheap rba would be good for a beginner? Honestly I'm only like a week into vaping and I would like to try dripping out. I have a vape shop near by that could build me a coil so I can get it started then I would venture off and do my own thing.
I would also recommend the Mvp I have combined this with a stillare rda and I have a 1.5 coil on it great vapor and flavor out of this world. Its a great start for a beginner.
Word of caution before u build coils read the forums check em all out we are here to help.

Happy vaping! Congrats on a week of vaping!

sub-ohm?

or even better, can you tell us what ohm's the coil will be built at for you?

As Susan suggested the MVP might be a great place for you to start.....BUT.. that depends on how low of a resistance you plan to use.

No sub-ohm vaping, about 1-1.5 ohms I don't think I could handle the heat for sub ohm vaping. But yeah I think I'll go with the MVP for now to see if I like dripping and what not. Thank you guys. I appreciate the help a a lot. Now if you could help me out with a good rda the would be awesome.

Sorry off topic but for flavor this guy below has been really nice. Cost a little extra because you need a Kayfun. I had a Kayfun I dropped but the base was okay. The rest of it was trashed. Well Science of Vaping came out with a Kayfun dripper cap ($50). Hmm this thing beats the flavor and vape out of Magma. Something to think about for the flavor junkies. This is also one of those recommended RDAs.

Last week I was a huge fan of the MVP as the BEST starter mod for a beginner... times seem to have changes....
Eleaf just released a 20w mod, cheaper than the MVP, and smaller than a vaporshark(my favorite mod BTW), http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=121440619069
My issue with the vaporshark for a beginner is simply the price. I would never ask a new vapor to drop that kind of money on any mod, simply because of the investment. A 40 dollars MVP would be perfect for someone to explore several avenues of vaping and then invest in what suit them best. If you like tanks, a provari, they are indestructible. If you prefer to drip, a DNA or SX mod, will let you go nuts with consistent High power vaping....
Check out that eleaf as a Great regulated 20w mod, the MVP is a 12W device. I would NOT recommend a mechanical mod, unless you have a good working understanding of ohms law, and battery safety. I would also suggested a decent ohm meter to let ukulele check for shorts.

Does the Eleaf have an adjustable 510 pin? If so then this may be perfect starter. Beginners don't need more than 20 watts.

It is supposed to be a spring loaded pin. I have only seen this mentioned by early testers of the beta versions, but it is never mentioned in the official literature on it... so if the retail version ships with it, i dont know for certain. eLeaf iStick VV/VW mod - TimboZero Vaping

This device does sound really cool... but I always hesitate to be an early adapter, would always rather wait a couple of months, and wait to see how it does in real world usage.
