why would you not recommend the ego-t for a first time vaper?
I didn't start out with a tank. I purchased one after I had my ego for awhile. So I knew how to vape, what an atomizer is, how to clean an atomizer, what to look for if I was getting leaks or getting dry hits. I had all the basics down because I started with a basic atty/cart and cartomizers and tried dripping. I knew what each one was like, the pros and cons and what each tasted like.
You may get a terrible plastic taste when you vape. Do you know what to do about it. What to look for? You may think flavor is lacking and think something is wrong with your juice. You haven't tried other methods yet so you won't know if it's a tank problem or a juice problem. For the record, juice flavors are cooler, somewhat more muted with tanks.
As a new person, you might be told to adjust your wick. We aren't talking about a candle wick, we're talking about something you can barely see when you look down into the atomizer.
You may not have any problems at all. Depends on your frustration level. Mine is zero and I tend to want to fling things across the room. All of this is a little easier after you've been vaping instead of your very first vaping experience.
