Smoking meats like vaping is dependent on what you want, different people have different ways to do things.

One way it can be done is to smoke it for 4 - 6 hours, then put it in a crock pot with coke or root beer for another 4 hours, it doesn't sound right but it makes for great pulled pork or beef sandwiches. And the meat is tender and done.

V2 starter kit, 2 cigalike batteries, a charger, wall adaptor, and a bunch of filter looking things. Didn't take me but a week or two to get a ego 650mah battery and a couple of T3 tanks. I still use ego batteries and T3 tanks but not the same ones.

Oregon has strange liquor laws too. All the liquor stores here are owned by the state, and in order to sell liquor in bars they also have to serve food, most people don't buy the food but the law says it has to be available. Beer and wine can be bought in any grocery store or convenience store. I guess logic and government can't be used in the same sentence.  

Not having payments is nice.

I have noticed people who vape help other people who vape. When I deliver parts to my customers is when I see this the most, this one guy gave me a jar full of used KPT coils, I'm slowly rebuilding them and giving them back. Another girl who's husband is in prison and left her to support the kids, (at least she's trying) I always take her 30ml bottles of juice, and tell her she's my new juice guineapig, I think she knows better because they are always her favorite flavor. I have given a lot batteries, and tanks away, and don't regret it. My accountant says I can probably write it off since I'm giving the stuff to my customers employees. 
 
I even thought about having the company name phone number and other info printed on evod batteries and giving them away as advertising, like people do with pens and stuff.

I totally agree with this!  Most people that I know that vape are glad to help someone out.  I have one hotel I stay in that the day clerk always has 5ml of juice for me to try that her father-in-law DIY's.  In another, I helped a night clerk out with a coil in her nautilus (I carried lots of spares back then) and she sent me a 30ml of juice in the mail. (it was kinda creepy, but a nice thought)

Cesar, you leaving is your choice, not ours.  
That being said, and without taking this whole debacle into consideration (which I don't actually fault you for), I don't think I'm the only person you have rubbed the wrong way in these forums almost from the day you joined.  For me it was never about your grammar.  I can easily overlook that.  For me it was the way you continuously and consistently stated your opinion on various topics in a manner that made it sound like it was your way or the highway, like your opinion is the only correct opinion.  You never have seemed to grasp the concept that every vaper is unique.  Each of us has our own preferences in APV's or unregulated devices, each of us has our own preferences in tanks or RBA's, each of us has our own preferences in how much airflow we like, each of us has our own preferences in how warm or how cool we like our vaping experience to be, each of us has our own preferences in nicotine strength, each of us has our own preferences in flavors, each of us has our own preferences in PG/VG ratio.  Basically, each of us has our own "sweet spot", another concept you have never seemed to grasp, (if you have, it hasn't been apparent).
Speaking only for myself, I think many of your posts would have been better received if you simply added these four simple words to them: "my personal preference is...".
Good luck on those other forums.  If you think this one is full of "idiots" and the others aren't, you're in for a big surprise.

It may have been out of context but it sounds like something he would say. Hopefully things will change after 2016 but I kind of doubt it. Once you open Pandora's box you can't close it.

Discovered something about the 1.5 vertical subtank coil, was refilling, and noticed the coil was getting a little gunked up, I ran a pipe cleaner down the center of it, and twisted it around a little, and now its clean again. It might extend the life of the coil if I do that every time I refill it.

It is like Obama said in a speech, we the people need government control because we are not capable of handling our own lives. This is our government today. Micro manage peoples lives so they have full control over us... Can anyone say Hitler/Communism...

I'm shocked AR is going this route... not surprised about IN though...  These states (actually all of them) are hurting for revenue, and until they get the "holy-grail" of vaping taxed as a "tobacco product" accomplished, so they can restore their Tobacco Settlement slush-fund, they are simply trying to regulate/license/fee the "local" industry to death, so they can make "some" additional revenue from the local shops.  It has nothing to do with safety, public health, or children... it has to do with the almighty dollar and the government's ability to spend OUR money like blank checks.  I know the owner of my favorite B&M, and he's complained that the local government has imposed fees on his business on-par with the local bars.  For what he's paying to operate, he may as well have a liquor license!
I've said it a billion times before... if the government (Federal/State/Local) actually cared about our safety, we'd be required to wear fire-suits and helmets in our cars, and all cars would be required to have roll-cages!
The Nicotine I buy is derived chemically, not extracted from a tobacco plant (or any plants that contain Nicotine), therefore it is NOT a tobacco product, and any laws the deem Nicotine as a tobacco product are BS laws.  Nicotine exists in hundreds of plants, fruits, and vegetables... but Nicotine is evil because it exists in tobacco?  Yeah, right!

Exactly, Tam!  I could never get exactly the flavors (intensity), the flavor combos, or the PG/VG ratios I wanted from any B&M or vendor, which is why I finally moved to DIY.  I'm glad I did, really... the start-up cost isn't horrible, but still a hit to the wallet while you're getting set-up and learning, but worth it!

If he has a large enough budget people here will be more than happy telling him what to buy.

He could mean the Subox Mini Starter Kit.  Comes with the Kbox mini and a Subtank Mini.

A KPT also works much better at a slightly higher wattage than what is available with a regular battery. So your aerotank will probably perform much better too. Doesn't the  aerotank mini use ego thread, most of the sub ohm batteries don't have ego threads, just 510 threads.
 
That's why I got the subtank mini kit it costs less than some box mods and comes with battery and tank.

One thing to consider is can your current battery run a sub ohm tank? My evic will run a subtank but only if I use a 1.5 ohm coil or better, and then not as well as the sub box will. You may be better off getting the battery first.

There are a ton of quality vape shops in and around LA.  Depending on where you are specifically, there area also a ton of quality shops in and around Orange County and the Inland Empire. 
You would likely notice a huge difference even with one of the gas station starter kits than what you get compared to a disposable cig-a-like.  The draw on almost all cig-a-likes is very tight.  I have no idea how the cig-a-like manufacturers measure the liquids they put in their products.  I do know that a couple (maybe more) essentially state their products contain "approximately X amount of nicotine".  In other words, if you get something that is supposed to be equal to 24mg nicotine, then it will be "approximately" that much. 
The Non-Big-Tobacco associated e-liquid manufacturers, i.e. all of them, take a lot of care in making their liquids.  They precisely measure everything when making a batch of liquid.  PG, VG, flavorings and nicotine.  All of it is precisely measured to provide a consistent product every time. 

Trouble is warning signs usually cannot be acted on. With the freedoms we enjoy in this country usually a crime has to be committed before the police can act. It will remain that way unless we give up some of our rights which I am not willing to do. 

Well after a week of smoking I recall why I switched to Vaping. Bleh!

BCarter hit the nail on the head for finding your sweet-spot...  Every juice has a sweet-spot, where flavor is perfect, and that will vary based on the tank (or RDA/RTA) it is in, the coil style, coil resistance, air-flow, PG/VG ratio, Nicotine-level, etc...  99% of the fun is trying to figure out the sweet-spot
