Hi and welcome,
Tell us about how you smoked and we can offer some suggestions.
How long? How many per day?

What is your budget?
Where, in the wide world of vape, are you located? Perhaps you have a store close to your home or work.

Cheers
I

Where you least expect it....
Welcome to the forum! Hope you enjoy your time here, you may want to look into pod systems. They don't require any sort of building or learning how to build a coil. All it involves is sticking a pod into a device and vaping.

If you ever feel like upgrading, then there are plenty of other sub-forums that can help you learn a specific topic.

Hello @Alex12345, the Freemax Fireluke 22 tank isn't a bad option with now 4 different resistance coils that covers both ends of the vaping spectrum.

So the most it theory you would be down is the cost of coils that you don't like.

But if you do decide to pick one up consider getting a mod that is TC (Temperature Coefficient/Temperature Control) capable, as the Fireluke 22 uses SS904L mesh for the coils and SS904L can be used in TC mode.

All TC mode does is throttle the temperature within a range, so it can make things more comfortable.

But as everyone is saying so far. There's no right or wrong, just what's right for you.

But needless to say we can give you a few ideas to mull over at least.

Gotta agree with my friend @Mordacai
When i started i used a similar device,just to ease my way into vaping.
Several choices of coils so you can experiment and see where your sweet spot is when it comes to wattage and style of vaping.

After that if you get the itch to try rebuildables (RTA and RDA) you can always look around,come here and ask us and get started with the whole process.

Bottom line thou is to ease yourself into vaping with as less hassle as possible,main focus is to stop smoking.
Once you achieve that and are comfortable with vaping you can look around and choose from a long list of different vaping apparatus.

I think your nic level is an important part of getting started. If you smoked a "light" cigarette, then try 18 mg, and drop to 12 if that makes you feel wired or jumpy.

Otherwise, I can tell you that I have found the Aspire brand to be reliable and long lasting. I have eLeaf units I've been using for years and years, but there are other Aspire varieties. The starter kits come with a recharger and wallwart. I just passed my 8 year anniversary from my last cigarette. I started with the Ego-T like many newbies at the time. I think I graduated to the eLeaf about 2014. The Aspire glass BVC clearomizer is nice looking, non-leaky, durable, and the replacement coils for it are fairly cheap and long lasting. If you vape a high temp, it may get a bit gurgly, which is resolved by ramping down the heat for a few puffs, then you can turn it back up. Each glassomizer gets its own flange style 510-to-Ego adapter, to eliminate fidget factor. Those are a buck or two apiece.

Since using the eLeaf, I haven't tried anything else. I just don't mess with success, and when you try a new kind of unit, it's a new kind of tank, new kind of coil, etc.

For auxiliary items: the LDPE bottle with needle tip cap makes it a cinch to refill your tank. I buy the bottles, caps and silicone needle tip covers by the dozens, to make my own own personal blend of various flavors of clove, but you may suddenly find that your juice seller has stopped offering certain pg/vg ratios and nic levels due to PMTA woes, another reason for having your own bottles and a cool kit of glass metric lab measuring tubes, so you can manage your own, if it totally comes to that.

Also in the case of nanny government taking away your vape, find a mech mod you like and stock up. I think I about cornered the market on a cheap but reliable mod with a side firing button, using just one 18650 battery, perfectly compatible with my million Aspire BVC glassomizers.

Finally, as you will eventually see, you'll want two needle nose pliers, one with teeth, one smooth. I also have a third mini needle nose that lives in my luggage, for travel, and three European regulated Aspire BVC tanks which hold only 2ml (as compared to the main line which holds 3ml liquid), because EuroNanny is persnickity about that.

Sigh. I always write too much. If you have a hundred dollars lying around, you'll be good to get started, but once you get it all figured out, it gets cheaper, much cheaper than cigarettes.

I totally agree. At first, it seems expensive but if you estimate how much you spent on cigs in a month, it really does save you money. After you get settled in and stock up on extra coils/juice, it saves tons of money.
Your choice of vape device will mostly depend on your vaping style... MTL: lower power, tighter air draw, cooler vapor or DL: higher power, looser air draw, warmer vapor. MTL is more like smoking a cig and is common with newbies. 12-18mg nicotine juice is common when quitting smoking (but some go as high as 24mg) Don't trip on the "salts" vs "freebase" nic... doesn't matter. When I first quit, I used 18 mg in a MTL device (if you use a DL device, use lower nic strength because it produces much more vapor)

Hello and welcome.

Like Bliss Doubt, I too am fond of the Aspire brand. I have bought into their BVC coils, so I pretty much have everything they sell that takes these replaceable coils. Any of the pod systems are ok to start with. I like to use replaceable coils because it's cheaper in the long run. Some of the pods with built-in coils can be expensive to replace over time.

I've found the Aspire AVP pro to be a good product. It's easy to go in a pocket. They also have the non-pro version that's draw activated and even smaller, but with pods with built-in coils. They both work well. The pro has replaceable coils, but they aren't BVC.

When I'm sitting at my desk, I either have the Spryte or K-Lite. I also have a handful of Aspire ET-S tanks that go on my old eGO-Ts, but I haven't used those in a while. These all use the BVC coils, which are easy to find and inexpensive (about $2.00 a piece.) I don't like to carry these vapes around though because they aren't as practical to put in jeans pockets.

I never found a use for the really powerful mods - just not my thing. My goal was to quit smoking, and I've achieved it. Unfortunately, you're going to have to try a few different products to see what works for you. I like small. The smaller the better.
