Hey, kakg2x--welcome to the forums. I started on the eGo-T about 6 months ago, but I noticed, after reading a number of posts at this forums, that new vapers go through a few things at the beginning:
1. finding that first starter kit that works for them;
2. finding some good e-liquids that work at the beginning for them;
3. dealing with the changes your body goes through as you leave analog cigs behind.
It takes a while, but stick with it--the rewards to your health are worth it as you leav analog cigs in your past. I haven't had a real problem with the eGo starter kits, but as other posters say, they can be fussy, especially at the beginning (it can get discouraging for some). A lot of posters will say, go for the cartomizers--they're a lot less fussy to deal with than the tank.
The damage to your taste buds from analog smokes is gonna prevent you from fully enjoying some of the eliquids out there--again, don't be discouraged. You taste buds will come back, in time. Just keep yourself hydrated (drink a bit more water than you originally planned to). Once your taste buds come back, you'll need to experiment with nicotine levels, to find the level that works for you.
Good luck, and keep us posted!
