I personally started off with the "BUD-TM" starter kit..I remember thinking I would have a difficult time adjusting to a manual device. And at first it felt kind of odd...But I stuck with it, And over the course of 7-10 days it became second nature..This might sound dumb. But it's like learning how to drive..At first you can't even drive with the radio on, And you're so paranoid and worried about the smallest of distractions...But eventually it becomes second nature. And you become so aware about your surroundings you don't even notice or recognize you've become a better more confident driver...It just happens...I felt the same with
vaping in the beginning..I just stuck with it, And I got use to the process...Learning about other devices, Juices,
tanks, upgrades and so on took a bit more time...After quickly becoming use to the standard/stock equipment I started using a low res ego vision tank. And eventually got use to that and craved something stronger..So I invested in a "silver bullet" And it's been my best friend ever since!..I vape with two ICR-123 batteries for 6volt action..I enjoy a warmer vape without having to take a long drag for the desired throat hit..As for you, I would highly suggest getting some kind of ego twist/variable voltage device..Because I guarantee after a month or two your gonna want a stronger/warmer hit..With an ego twist all you do is twist the bottom and you get higher volts..Instead of being stuck with the same 3ish or so volts from a standard ego battery..And I absolutely love the ego vision clearomizers..3-4volts with a 1.8ohm vision is very nice indeed!..Keep in mind also, That nicotine levels plays a part in throat hit..I like an average amount, 15-18mg of nicotine, Any higher and it scratches my throat....
This is just personal opinion/preference but I hope it helps... Oh, And my only online vending experience is with altsmoke.com..
