I wasted a lot of money before finding a good setup

I started with cheap gas station e-cigs (still craved and used analogs)
Then moved to a Blu starter Kit (stopped smoking, but Blu devices do not stay charged for long and do not taste that good)
Then a Halo started kit (Got this kit because I could my old Blu's cartridges with it)
Then a Ego-Spinner (moved to this for more battery life and better tanks)

Then finally to an iTaste SVD setup

If you do not mind the wait (2 weeks) you can get a very nice set up cheap from fasttech

Here is my set up
INNOKIN iTaste SVD $37.21
Panasonic NCR18650B 3400mAh18650 Lithium Battery $15.68 (2 batteries)
Slim 1*18650 Lithium Li-Ion Battery Charger $2.22
X9 Protank Clearomizer (2.5mL) $4.74

Total: $59.85

That same setup at my local store runs $171

You will also need extra coils I use to buy these (10 pack) before I started rebuilding the ones I had. Each coil lasted me about 2 weeks but YMMV

DO NOT BUY JUICE FROM FASTTECH, buy from some place local or a well know online store, you want USA made juice

I've been analog free for 10 months now after 20 years of 2 packs a day
