Too many choices...

So, i am in the market for a number of things...

Then just as i have, thanks to the help of a few good people on here, narrowed my selection down to two mod kits, and a few other items, i get wind of something else that has totally changed my mind again.

Not to mention that i am a tactile buyer, so i like to see, hold, feel and rub myself against things before buying them ;} ...

So, to recap:
I was set on buying a kangertech topbox, and a kangertech nebox, along with a spare tank or two, and a selection of juices...
which then changed to two kanger topboxes, and a spare tank or two....

and now, after another helpful mail, i have also seen a new tank, supposedly the best for flavour, which only starts to work at 80w, and all kindsa notes about how well...

i have decided, that since the kanger topbox is only 75w, i would need at least a 100w mod, so that i can buy the best flavour tank, and run it...

i just hope that by this saturday, when i am going to have the time to purchase these items, that no-one else comes and tells me psst..this is the shizz.... or have you seen this....or have a look at that...

its enough to make someone like me doubt their sanity...

and choices...

Hi @Hardtail1969

I'm curious - what tank are you referring to?
 
Hang in there, brother. Vaping is like that and an interest board like this even more so.

It's a whirlwind of constantly changing options in a burgeoning market worldwide, but hey, you're not gonna be smoking and you'll be one of those guys with suggestions and tips for all the people that follow.

The biggest thing is to settle on one all day carry setup that gets you what you need. Sounds like you've locked an loaded your research. Now, just execute. Get thee to a shop and get those mitts on some gear. Take your time with it. Maybe even step away after rubbing yourself up against it for a while and go for a coffee to think things over and then march right back in there and get what purred best for you.

It's your movie. You're the star. Use the info you've gathered as a guide, but go with your gut and your heart on this.

Once you pull the trigger, do not second guess yourself. Most all gear these days will work to keep you off the cigs and enjoying a pleasant vape. Plus or minus a few percentage points, it's mostly fashion and personal taste after that. There is no be all end all killer setup for everyone and... wait for it... the "cutting edge" will move again in 2 months. It has for 6 years with no end in sight (fools that we are).

You got this. Can't wait to see pics of the new rig.

Eish...

I tell you, i am thinking of sitting down in a corner with a blanket over my head and chanting wub-wub-wub until enlightenment shall dawn, and i can step down off the mountain like moses, ready to preach the word, only to discover that the people have again changed the game....

But i shall endure and by SATURDAY THE 9TH OF APRIL 2016.... at or on or about 12:00 Midday.... unless someone else chirps in.... be VAPING.

Apparently the uwell crown is the flavour tank to beat all others?

(gods..i just know i am going to get all kindsa different opinions again).... ;)

:) Hahah - You probably will (some of the new ceramic coil tanks like the Target apparently have superb flavor - apparently some issues with inconsistent coil qc though, and it doesn't take to 70 / 30 VG and higher juices well). I haven't tried the Uwell Crown, but there does seem to be a sizeable loyal following who insist that it's flavor is hard to beat. As for a mod that's a bit more powerful than the Topbox, the IStick 100 W TC is one very good option.

It can be a right roiling mess, to be sure. The key is to find a safe perch, trusty vape in hand, from which to view the melee from. Right now, you're down in the mosh pit. Get a mod and tank, get vaping, get perspective.

It'll all come easily enough... once you're over the "OMF'ingG, where do I start?" hump.

Set aside a room in your house for vaping gear mate. Sounds like you're gonna need it, and a fair-sized room at that. :D

Hi @Hardtail1969

You can't just come from Twisp devices to a Crown Tank at 80w.

That is why I recommended the Topbox mini kit.

You will have to transition yourself.Also bare in mind that you will never just buy one kit.You will start with a decent kit and then move up from there.

Vaping becomes a hobby and is a lifestyle.
 
Also,don't try and just buy everything at once.The market is changing everyday with new devices coming out everyday.

Start with one device and take it from there.
 
Hi @Hardtail1969

I can imagine how you feel
But dont worry, @Papa_Lazarou is spot on
Pick one or two you like and go for it

My experience with the Subtank mini (the predecessor to the Toptank) has been good. Decent flavour and performance and easy to rebuild if you want to rebuild.

Just leave some budget and energy for choosing juices. The hardware is one thing but the juices are very important too. Hopefully wherever you go you can sample a few juices and take a few you like.

Enjoy and dont stress -

Let us know how it goes.
 
Once you have purchased every piece of vaping gear known to man and preordered every piece to be produced in the next decade, you can turn your attention to DIY juices. There be another wonderland of endless stuff and frustration.
 
Go with the Topbox mini kit! I have a lot of other gear and my Subox Mini is still my go-to device for the right balance of flavour, ease-of-use etc. I promise you won't do the whole buyers remorse thing if you do!

And that's why i aint vaping yet, cos of the advice, and wise words on here.

Like i said to you, i am a tactile buyer, and need that hands on to understand what i am getting.

Even with all of that being said, i am still thinking of your recommendations, and will in all likelihood follow along.

Its just that... like i said... aaarghhhhh. soon as i think i have made a decision... THERE IS MORE....

I agree.My subtank mini is still in daily rotation for the last 2 years.

" Just do it " and check Reviews on Utube.
 
Like I said @Hardtail1969 , that Topbox is the best place to start! It will give you the best baseline for you to make all future decisions!

And this coming from a vendor who just loves the Crown Tank. Sage advice. Follow it imo. The Topbox Mini kit is tried and tested and versatile.
