Earthling gave you some great recommendations: "I would suggest simple to get you started... A Kanger ProTank 2, Kanger Aerotank V2, Nautilus, Nautilus Mini, or AnyVape Davide.  Coils are cheap for these, and they WORK!  As for a battery device... simple is best, so I would suggest an iStick 50W, not for the power, but for the longevity of the battery."
So, I'll narrow it down for you. My recommendation would be an Eleaf iStick 50W for a battery. It's simple enough for a "super noob" but has enough power to keep you from having to upgrade too soon. It should last you some time. There is a 4400 mAh battery that is enclosed inside and not removable, you just plug it in to recharge. I would buy at least two to get started. One can be charging while you vape on the other. Because the battery is so large, it's going to take five hours or more to go from dead to completely recharged. The kit comes with the charging cord, AC adapter, and 510 to eGo adapter.
As for the tanks Earthling rec'd for you, I'd go with the Kanger Aerotank V2. This tank is pretty easy to use, has some adjustments for airflow and you can use either a dual coil (more expensive) or a single coil (much cheaper and in my opinion, performs just as well as a dual coil at a fraction of the price). Get at least two if not more of these.
Now, I'm going to give you the "lecture" about having back ups. You want to make sure to have back ups and back ups of your back ups.
Seriously.
The last thing you want to have happen is for something to go wrong and you have nothing else to turn to other than another pack of smokes or, in your case, another can of chew. Many noobs (not even super noobs  ) don't take us seriously about the back ups... until something goes wrong and they're having to do without until a replacement comes in the mail. I've gone through four batteries, two tanks and several coils one time when I was out and about. One thing went wrong after another. Thankfully I had enough back ups with me to get me through until I got home. You can never have too many... 
 

As you get more flavors you will experiment more. Last week I ran out of one of the flavors I vape, I had a orange cream that I added a little extra orange to because I liked dreamsicle bars. To substitute I mixed regular orange with vanilla custard and it tasted better than the orange cream I used before. I usually vape 5 - 6 different flavors every day, it doesn't get boring that way. 

I have had a couple different Genie style tanks and did not like them. they do leak when on their side. and are a PITA to build. Once you get it built just right it works ok for quite a while. Most of the ones had had plastic tanks as well. and that became a minus for me. Air flow was also an issue. I found a rebuilt KPT head in a KPT 3 was a better performer.

A government that's doing something that's not completely backasswards? Surely, the end is near!!!

One that I do all the time, When in a new restaurant or public place like a bar always ask if vaping is allowed and don't blow big clouds if allowed to vape.
Don't vape while filling your car with Gas. It may not cause an issue, but remember it is a hot coil and any spark could cause a fire.
 

Hemp had it's time a year, year and half ago.   most people that were using it stopped and went back to cotton. It was about the same time the Japanese Cotton started getting popular. That is why you don't hear about much anymore. Between the prep time and the flavor change you get with it most people gave up on it. I have like 8 2 gal bags full of the stuff. I sell a little from time to time, but don't see to many reorders for it. For a while it was impossible to get... now not so much.

Yeah I vape at 18 to 25 depending on the juice.
 

Try setting your Mod for Watts instead of Volts. I would set it for 12-13 watts to start and see how that goes. You can bump it up or down from there till you find your sweet spot.

Very good information Rixter! Thank you for posting this.

This guy really seems to know about the chemistry of eliquid. If you're interested, you can find more of his YouTube videos here.

This country might soon be giving out e-cigarettes for free
England’s health service just came out with the biggest endorsement yet of e-cig safety.

In light of recent revelations regarding e liquids and flavorings that contain Diacetyl, Acetoin, and/or Acetyl Propionyl, I decided to start a thread where DIYers could post results of their findings about flavors they've researched.
I'm currently waiting on responses from several suppliers that I use regularly, and as soon as I receive some information, I'll post it here. I urge other DIYers to do the same.
Also, I'm sure that Diacetyl, Acetoin, & Acetyl Propionyl aren't the only things we need to be looking out for in our juices, so if anyone has anything they'd like to share on other potentially dangerous ingredients, feel free to share that information as well.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but even organic has VG. There is Organic VG. True organic E-Liquid needs to tested and registered as organic. They may use All organic ingredients including the water use to thin it out. and yes that would make it "made with organic ingredients', but unless it is "certified organic" they can not legally make that claim. Just make sure that there "Certified Organic" and your good to go. I have seen some that make the claim and do not have it truly certified.

For the most part I agree that China vs US has little to nothing to do with studies like this. This not about us vs them in a geographic sense. This is a us vs them in a governmental agenda sense. It is not about multi million dollar clean rooms, or DIYers making juice in their home or B&M shops making it in a back room.  You can have the cleanest environment possible and still have an issue with some of these chems in the e-liquid. It is not introduced by the environment it is mixed in. it is introduced by the flavorings used 99.9% of the time. When it comes to Diethylene glycol it is introduced when manufactures try and cut corners to compete using low grade Propylene Glycol. The heavy metals come in from contaminated water (ie Tap Water), what it may be mixed in or even the coil that is used. This is all true be it Made in the USA or Made in China.
Having said that, This is about governments that are hell bent on destroying the vaping industry and have billions to back slanted studies to fit an agenda. This is about the bottom dollar and losses that occur from people switching to vape products that affect the bottom dollar of Governments, Big Tobacco, and Big Pharma. How many of these studies do testing or report results of the products put out by Big Tobacco ((Made in the USA)? Rarely do these type of tests name what products are tested and when they do, non are the Big Tobacco brands... hummmm...
Flavor manufacturers are stepping up to the plate and are giving test results of the flavorings they sell. This is giving the smaller e-liquid manufactures information about the chems that are in the flavorings sold. Responsible e-liquid manufactures need to know what they are putting into the end product. By having this information it makes it easier for the small companies to determine what is going into what they produce. These chems don't just magically appear in the product it has to come from somewhere. If the flavorings are clean of these chems, it will not be in the end product that is just fact.
IMO The real enemy here are the the agencies that continue to further the agenda of the ones that want to kill the vaping industry. An industry as a whole that potentially will save thousands if not millions of lives over the whole planet.

New base problem solved!

Nice setup Jason!

Email Evolv and let them know what happen they may send you a new chip. However, you would have to be able to send the old chip back to them. Not sure if they can mail it to you directly, but they that you can work out with them. They may be out of stock on the site but they have them for repair and replacement.

I have to respectfully disagree. I have used hemp fiber and it will not absorb more juice it will actually repel the juice. It has a bad taste for a long time. I couldn't even get past one drip session before I went back to cotton. Now I only use cotton pads and they do absorb juice like crazy. There is no strange taste and it is cheaper than hemp. Sorry I just just don't like it.

I have used it in a genne, a KPT head and a dripper, it was even worse in the tanks. I did not come to my conclusions for a lack of trying. I really was hoping for better results.

im 65 and finally got fed up with breathing in smoke and throwing my money away on cigarettes. ive been looking at the commercials on e-cigs for years but  = do they work or not ? well two weeks ago, on my way home form  visiting my wife of 40+ years having a quadruple bypass, so i stopped and bout a itaste vv v3.0, couldn't believe how good this thing worked. i mean since i bought it ive only had maybe one cig every other day. my cig sit with next to where my e-cig sits and i dont even think about having a cig.  unbelievable, best thing i ever did. when i realized that the vaping was the thing for me i picked up a itaste 134 mini for the home and use the itaste vv v3.0 for when i go somewhere. still amazed on how great these things work for getting off cigs.
