New to this great vape and intrigued by all of the knowledge you all share with such generosity. Thank you all! Just getting started with my egot. The products available are very confusing and I hope to understand eventually. Is there anything you all would recommend that I add to my starter kit that will be valuable considering a somewhat limited budget? I'm posting from Southern California and also wondering if there is any stores so I could do real life shopping? I'm a visual and tactile learner and 3D is so much more comprehensible to me. Any favorite links will be appreciated to.:vapor:

What I recommend you add to an EGo-T

1. normal 510 atomizer and 510 drip tip (for testing juices and vaping thick juices)

2. cartomizers - standard metal cartomizers and the most popular are Boge - I use thin juices, PG w/ 20% or less VG in these to get good reuse out of them. If you learn to use these you will always have a backup way to vape if you have atomizer problems. Also use these for any cinnamon flavors you like (cinnamon can eat plastic). Use for clingy flavors you don't want in your atomizers (like cloves and some others). The Boge 3 ohm are barely warm and easier to learn on. The Boge 2 ohm are hotter and preferred for vaping on Egos. Then there are all kinds of exotic cartos you can also try, but Boge are inexpensive and work well.

3. A spare charging cable (I actually like to have 3 cables for any model I depend on - one for at work and 2 at home so i can charge both 2 batteries at once and so I have a spare if one cable develops a problem)

4. If you only have one tank atomizer then you need a spare or two. And anytime one dies, order a new spare.

5. Soft cap replacement doors for tanks

6. And I don't use tanks but you may want something to make it easier to get the juice into the tanks. if you search for bottle at Gotvapes.com and go through the 4 pages you'll see pipettes, syringe-top bottle, an some kind of interesting longer dropper tips for bottles.

7. ELiquid and plenty of it because new vapers are the ones who run out of juice. I believe tanks like the thickness of PG w/ 30% or less VG. 100% PG may be more prone to leaking. Some thinner 50/50's may work.

8. Go to Youtube and watch videos about Ego-T function and fixes (like anything about filling, repositioning the wick, cleaning the atomizers, etc) so you will know how to do those things.

Wow ask and you shall receive. I really appreciate this info. I will look into this and will be back to follow up with your wonderful advice. Thank you. Out of the hospital for 11 days now and with analogs behind me after 30+ yrs I have the opportunity to live a happier life. Feeling better each day and grateful. A few more posts and I'll get to include my signature. Hoping to help others as you all are helping me! :laugh:

And don't put yourself back in the hospital. Moderation - have some self-control. My self control at home is to put the ecigs in another room so I have to get up and go there to vape. If you are using 100% PG juice and notice irritation from the nicotine (tongue, mouth, throat or even lungs) then be sure to use juice with some VG in it - 80PG/20Vg is now my favorite because it works well in my cartomizers but 70PG/30VG should work fine in tanks too. Be aware of the symptoms of too much nicotine in too short a time period - headache is a very common one as well as rapid or irregular heartbeat, cold fingers, overall malaise or hazy feeling. And stay well hydrated! vaping can be drying. Remember to drink fluids. And make sure you eat well.

Soon your sense of smell and taste will come back strong (good time to visit a good buffet)
