VapeCon starter kits buying guide for value hunters (Classic Menthol)
VapeCon starter kits advice for Austria, covering buying guide, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
We spent weeks putting vapecon starter kits options through their paces so the recommendations here reflect real use. The Crimson Red finish hides fingerprints far better than the gloss options, which matters more than it sounds on a device handled daily.
The gap between a mid-range and a premium vapecon starter kits narrows once you know which components you actually use. Worth noting that the magnetic contact takes a small amount of care to keep clean, which we cover in the maintenance section below.
Pricing in Austria shifts with import duty, so the figures here reflect current EUR rates rather than a fixed list price. Airflow control on the Kanger K2 is adjustable enough to move from a warm, restrained draw to something far more open without removing the tank. Vapour production is more than adequate at 100, and pushing beyond that adds heat rather than anything worth carrying.
The included spare coils are useful for the first fortnight, after which you will be ordering your own. What surprised us most was how little the 1.2 Ω mesh coil changes the draw character compared with the 70:30 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber. The Crimson Red finish hides fingerprints far better than the gloss options, which matters more than it sounds on a device handled daily.
Build quality is the quiet differentiator here, with tight seams and a connector that has not loosened after repeated removal. Charging over Micro-USB takes about 80 from empty, and the pass-through means the device can be used while plugged in on the smaller batteries. Two things to check before ordering: the Micro-USB socket on the base and whether the 1.2 Ω mesh coil is the newer generation.
In Austria, availability of the 1.2 Ω mesh coil is the practical bottleneck, not the device itself. The standard bore mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips. Worth noting that the magnetic contact takes a small amount of care to keep clean, which we cover in the maintenance section below.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Vanilla Custard: creamy, rich, described as warm vanilla bean with a smooth cream finish. On a 70:30 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 1.2 Ω mesh mark before the coil begins to mute it.
Practical considerations in Austria
Availability in Austria is the factor that decides most outcomes here. Confirm the 1.2 Ω mesh and the Micro-USB are both in stock before committing, and check that the magnetic contact matches your existing device if you already own hardware. Duty and EUR rates move, so treat prices as current rather than fixed.
Availability shifts often, so check the current listing before committing to a large order.
