Probably the subox mini. I think it's probably the most solid starter subohm set you're gonna find. I trust kanger, they make decent stuff.

You gotta get the batteries separately though. Go LG or Samsung. I dunno about the chargers they offer on that site though.

Your post made me think of something.
i wonder whether vapers would rather have regulations and standards to prevent these sort of things, or to keep the vaping market how it is? (virtually unregulated, but very profitable)
what say yee?
It has positives and negatives for both sides and truthfully I really don't know. The market is oversaturated with shit because just anyone can jump in and start doing it. But at the same time, a lot of the great stuff we only have because of this. So I dunno. For noobies trying to start, the magnitude of all the choices makes it difficult to find the right thing, which leads to people saying vapes don't work just because their vape didn't work. For people who know how to navigate, having that wide market not only keeps prices low, but it also really opens up the possibilities.

For around $50 you can get an Ego One starter kit also. It's a cracking device for the price, I wish they had stuff like that around when I started vaping.

Fuck that, egos suck. $50 can basically get you the Kanger Subox w/ a subtank which is far superior.. like $10 more.

Dude We recommended the same device!
Also, yeah, don't waste your money on an ego. Especially since you've got a budget that would allow you to get a real device.

Ego One is 3rd gen, not to be confused with the old Ego spinners. Sure they won't blow massive clouds like a box. But a large part of the change from smokes to vaping is habitual. Giving a smoker a big ass box mod often scares them. Having a smaller device is easier for beginners imo. Ego One's are fine for reliability and are enough to see a person until they know what they want out of vaping.
You guys seem to know more about new gear than me though, I've retired from watching the endless stream of same same repackaged gear.

psh. the technology changes weekly. Temperature control is the latest.. next gen devices will have color LCD touchscreens.. shit maybe even slap a CPU and memory in that bitch and act like a phone where you can install apps that monitor juice consumption and shit. with wifi connectivity so you can auto order juice from your mod
That ego does look a lot better than their old shit, but still..eGo Subox is actually pretty compact though for a box mod. Fits nicely in the palm of even my chicks hand. My sigelei 150w is a monster compared to it. The subox is probably hands down the best deal right now for a cheap complete box mod w/ a tank for advanced and beginner users alike. Plus kanger is a badass company who people should support. Sigelei is also awesome.

what say you?

I gotta agree. Feels like a novelty to me. My main issue with them is I find it unsatisfying, so I overdo it and it makes me sick. I'll get headaches and feel generally gross. I like the tobacco flavor they have, it's like vanilla marshmallow or something, but it doesn't remind me of actual tombacco.
I normally smoke 1 cigarette per day now if I am just doing my normal shit, which I think is not very addicted, but I could not imagine just toking a vape once per day. That doesn't seem satisfying.

That was my problem. I tried vaping several times before I actually started. It just never had that "it" factor. Hell, I thought they were poison after getting sick from a cheap chinese cig-a-like I bought an ego and it really didn't do anything for me the first time. Finally, a buddy left his 150w Sigelli with an amazing custard juice at my house, and I hit it once or twice just for kicks. Next thing I know, I hadn't smoked all day!
So finding the right device for your needs is a big factor. Juice is another big thing. Even if the flavors nice, you may need more of a throat hit (like you get from a cigarette) PG VG blah blah blah.
Anyways, what I'm getting at is that vaping is completely customizable. It can be whatever you need it to be.

I have the TC Sigelei (75w). I haven't used the TC a lot, but it is pretty awesome. You can take some ridiculously long hits on it. I plan to do some fused claptons with nickel soon, I really wanna see what a TC clapton can do. Just a single regular wire TC coil can get reasonably close to my dual fused .4 ohm claptons.
The only thing I don't like is the super low ohms of nickel coils. It kinda freaks me out to be vaping on something that's like .08 ohm

I tried the temp control, vv/vw box mods, squonkers and all sorts of stuff... ended up back at simple RDA's, gennies and tube mechs. Seems that they may be trying to fix something that isn't broken with all this "innovation".

I've not went any further than .2 yet, but I'm still a noob 
On a side note, have you seen the Fishbone RDA's? Me and a buddy were both gonna get one on payday. I've got to try one a couple times, and they're pretty dope. It's got a glass top, and is pretty pretty much a smaller Kennedy. Which is nice because I love the Kennedy's. I've got the Competition V2 and it's the best RDA I've yet to try.

Yeah maybe I will get into it when I have some cash to spare. That's also kind of an obstacle. It's definitely cheaper than buying > pack/day but since I smoke so little it's hard for me to drop $100 on smoking in one go.

I only have it because I had to replace my last mod very recently. For kanthal it works the exact same as old mods, and it's not really any more expensive than them (or wasn't when I got mine, there were a couple of sites the regular Sigelei was cheaper on, but they were sold out). I'm a simple kind of person, too.

Nope. I don't really look at new vape equipment until I find a necessity to replace my old stuff. I have a baal clone, which was my first RDA and bought on a whim for cheap as hell just to see if I even liked RDAs. Once I discovered I did, I sought out a better one. Got the Mutation v4. I'll probably stick with this for quite a while before I even think of getting a new one.
Also if you get into nickel, you're gonna be doing less than .2 guaranteed. It does not have a comparable resistance to kanthal. Go to steam engine and put in your usual kanthal builds and look at how many wraps it takes to achieve it. I nearly shit a brick when I saw it. I was confused as hell.

That's a pretty impressive collection..
I don't really have anything against mech mods, I just haven't really gotten into them. I like the ability to dial in a wattage. I'm sure I could use one safely and know enough to build around my desired vape, I just haven't. I'm kinda new to mods in general. I've been into them for about 3 or 4 months now.

The only "replacing" it does is it's something to smoke. Inhaling and exhaling smoke is quite addicting,beside that people are addicted to the carcinogens in the cigs not the nicotine. Maybe a little of both

I only smoke cigarettes when I'm hammered. I also lack the appeal to drop $50+ on a device so I can inhale blueberry flavored water vapor like a fucking little bitch. (I have better adjectives but you know...)
