I am STILL waiting for my Ego-T setup from China and trying to make do with my cigalikes. I have learned enough to know that the tank system is outmoded. I haven't even received my kit yet, and already outmoded. I then took heart in the fact that at least the batteries would be better, so I ordered 2 mini vivi novas. They have arrived, still no Ego batteries. Now I am being told that the mini vivis are no good and the attys burn up too fast. Sigh.
Hi Chellmmm !
Who is 'telling' you all this stuff ???
I started with an eGo-c kit... I LOVE IT!.....I USE IT EVERYDAY !...IT IS MY EZ FILL, EZ Carry and Vape units !
I do not think that the Cartrage system is outdated, in fact, it is darn near perfect.
( Try carrying a Tank or a Clearo or even a RBA/RDA in your pocket !) HA-HA...LOL
I have MODs and tanks and RBA...and DIY my juice, but I truly believe a basic eGo kit is a GREAT piece of Vape gear.
I USE MINE- Everyday !
Best to You !

Just hang in there, and you can't go by what you "hear" you have to try them for your self.
You can find someone that likes almost everything made and others that hate the very same things
Vaping is a tough learning curve at first but once you settle in it can go very smooth.
My first post...and pretty new to forum.
2 months vaping.
EGO-T has worked for me. I haven't had a stinky since the first day I used it.
Not sure why you are having difficulties getting the batteries.
I got mine right away and then ordered my wife a pair last week.
I used two different online vendors with no delays.
I have tried a few different tanks, cartomizers and I am probably will try more.
Sure, I've wasted a few bucks but I think it's part of the process to find preference etc.
I smoked 2 packs / day for over 30 years so even with unsatisfactory trials, I've spent less per day and I feel so much better!!!!
From my perspective, the battery you've chosen is solid and a key component to successfully eliminating stinkies.
Hang in there!

Mini vivi novas are fine. The knock-offs suck. If you ordered Vision branded, then don't worry about the advice you got. There are "better" clearos out there, for sure but the Visions are good and very popular for a reason. They are easy to use, and easy to swap the heads out, and I buy them for friends as a "first" clearo.
In future, you may save $ by ordering from China but it's going to take a while, plus there could be customs issues. There are lots of suppliers in the US and who are near you in FL. Order from there and you won't be tweaking so much while waiting.
EGO-T (the TANK system) is outdated yes but the batteries are good that you have, so use the Mini Novas with them. The erolls are great for a night out. I own a Provari and now a Tesla, but I've been looking at the eroll as a solution when I need something more discreet.
Many of us go on to fancier devices but keep the Egos as backups. And others just stick with the Ego and have no desire for anything more. It's perhaps the most popular device for a reason. It works great, and has a good battery life. Hang in there and vape on!

Trial and error...best way to learn...and with new stuff coming out all the time, it never ends. I just got some new (or old) ego-T mods for the apocalypse (if it happens) and don't really like them, but they'll do if I need them in the future. Now I'm looking for smaller replaceable battery mods. The moral is, after 7 months, I'm still doing trial and error. Hang in there.
Well you all can do what you want but the "OMG I Ordered From China Anti Depression Squad" from ECF just loaded up OP/ chellemmm Likes...should be funny when she next logs in

I agree with all of the suggestions you've received about taking members' anecdotes about personal experiences with a grain of salt. They are just that: personal experiences. Unfortunately, the vaping learning curve is unavoidable and it takes a bit of trial and error to find out what works for you.
My personal opinion: A ProVari is a wonderful device. It's well made, has a warranty, etc. It is also just a tube that holds batteries. You will not have a better vaping experience with a ProVari over any other VV mod until you get a good idea of what delivery systems you like. Twists and Spinners are a great way to start, and you will need back-up anyway, so you haven't wasted anything (I don't think any of the money I spent on vaping was wasted, since I don't smoke anymore, but that's how I look at it).
Twists/Spinners give a good introduction to variable voltage without spending tons of money. If you stick with authentic Joyetech and Vision you shouldn't have any problems. At this moment, I have two 1000mAh Twists I'm vaping back and forth because they have different tanks on them - they are nice, consistent devices. I when I read people bemoaning about the money they wasted before getting a ProVari it often seems they have bought several "higher end" mods that either didn't perform well or broke down. In that case, they have spent hundreds and were still dissatisfied.

Don't give up! I just used my ego-C with a gas station Carto while my Sigelei charges and my T3 absorbs juice and you know what?! it works awesome enough to deal with the craving. You have a good kit coming and nothing is good or bad, just personal experience like many have already stated. Sometimes, you'll have products with defects, but as long as you check-in here before buying anything, you'll know which products to avoid.
i agree with thinkfasttholsters i've had my vivi nova's for month's now clean them prolly once a week and haven't had any go bad on me yet. three are visions and 3 are msf brand so maybe they are knock offs i dont know. hang in there though.
Thanks all for the encouraging words of wisdom. I am going to TRY not to whine anymore! Yes, I will not order from China if needed ASAP. I learned that...I also learned that there are a LOT of really cool people on ECF!

the ego-t does work very nice. the problem is that it leaks badly and you will need more and more tanks and caps and stuff and other stuff and some other stuff to make up for the previous stuff. if the pin feeded atomizer tank system would be successful we would surely see more of that system being produced and copied, which we don't. so u basically gonna have a bad time using the ego-t set. but don't despair at least you can use the batteries and the charger from the set.
i keep posting this but i find this one to be the most reliable setup i have ( and very cheap too ) and like most of the people here i have a collection that keeps growing with no logical reason, since i have many setups that work flawlessly.
So no matter what i vape, this one is always in my pocket. it is a 1300 mah battery 15-20$. smoktech tank 8-10$. smoktech carto 1.9-2.3$.

Don't forget the skirt.
This was my go to setup for the better part of a year.
There is nothing wrong with an ego setup. Just didn't cut it for me personally. But I was a pack+ a day for 35 years. I moved on, and yes the Provari is a FANTASTIC device. I have one. Yes a bit pricey but I own mechanicals that cost as much as well,
I've got mods for work and mods for home. Just vape within your budget.
I'm an avid Vivi Nova user. They work best for "me". And I can only speak for myself. I have had issues with a couple knock off Vivi's but none with the real deal. Vision branded Vivi's
As far as the China thing goes. Never ordered directly from China. I'm sure you familiar with Phil Busarsdo by now.
His web site "tasteyourjuice.com" hasn't a list of trusted US vendors. Well he trusts them. And I've ordered from several of them myself without issue. Great site, tons of reviews and very useful information. Trick is to find what works for you, major consideration for me was what was easy to carry everywhere and last all day. Because one of the biggest stumbling blocks is something that's "inconvenient" to carry and depend on.

Yar, real men wear skirts!
I use the eGo C and Twist with the vivi nova tanks and they are excellent.
Hang in there. We have your back.

try a different vendorif your is out of juice, oder some yesterday and its in the mail will get it tommarrow or monday
First experience is always a bit messy. You're going to make many wrong choice of gear, wrong choice of liquids, etc. I know that cause this is actually what I am experiencing now
I'm struggling too but for a different reason...
I've been vaping for about 3 months now. I have the eVic, eGo-C, Inferno, Kanger T-3, Vision Vivi Nova Tank System plus others... I guess I'm missing it.
I've tried all different flavors of e-juice from many different venders and I have yet to "really" find a vap that tastes good. They all seem to have the same icky taste. I read the reviews and the other users say "Love it!", "Tastes just like a sweet tart!", etc...
I don't understand. The only flavor I get a real throat hit from is a Menthol Burst but I just figure that's because the menthol is so strong it can't help but wake me up... I really don't want to give up but don't know what else to do. I've tried cartomizers, atomizers and clearmizers... I can tell the difference between them but all in all the favor just isn't there for me. Any words of wisdom is greatly appreciated.
