Been hanging around in here trying to burn through my 5 posts but I don't really know enough to give other people advice, so I figured I would start this thread rather than give bad advice just to get through my 5 obligatory posts.
I'm joining up because I have new hardware and want to learn more about it, but when I think back to my first ecig I have to laugh.
I haven't been a tobacco smoker for 5 or 6 years now... I picked up my first cartomizers and battery in 2009 when they banned clove cigarettes in the US. They resembled what njoy sells now, roughly the size of an actual cigarette & they came prefilled and were advertised as refillable. The refillable part was a joke! Unable to take them apart, you had to fill it one drop at a time at the battery contact and there was no rushing this process -_- inevitably, they would leak and gurgle like crazy. Although I successfully quit smoking cloves (not like I had a choice!!)these things turned me off vaping entirely for a few years.
Recently a good friend quit smoking and as he upgraded from an eGo battery and CE4 clearomizer, he gave me his old setup. First thought: miles ahead of that old junk!! But of course he is always having me try his new setup and when he got himself a nice Kanger Subtank mini and Kbox I realized that a mod + tank setup makes the eGo seem almost as bad as that "old junk."
tl;dr edition:
How far have you come from when you started vaping?? What was your first setup like??

After that I tried Protanks and the Anyvape Davide as toppers. I've also bought MVPs (2 and 3) and an Istick 20W, and I've tried just about every non-rebuildable topper - bottom coil, dual coil, top coil, cartomizer. (I have hand issues that rule out rebuilding for me.)
