I need help - I'm new

So I was working at a client's office last week and the girl there was toking on an ego-t. I had tried some cheap crap a while back and failed miserably. Decided to give it a go again.

Got a starter kit from a local self-proclaimed salesperson. Got an ego-t manual battery, charger, two cleartomizers (not exactly sure if they are legit parts or not) and a few bottles of goo.

Since I was a menthol smoker I asked for something along that line. Big mistake. The menthol only was killing me, however I do kinda dig the vanilla mint and blueberry mint.

Now, once again I almost feel like the "friend of a friend" who sold me the stuff is out to make money. I had heard from someone else it should have come with 2 batteries and did not, so it wouldn't surprise me if the rest of the crap I got was knock-off or who knows.

Regardless, I'm having issues using this stuff. One of the cleartomizers broke within a day, the built in rubber washer came off. It still appears to be working but I do end up getting goo'd in the mouth occasionally.

I ordered some new goo and its on the way. I also got some needle droppers to hopefully help not get goo in all of the wrong places :?: and some new cleartomizers from a reputable company. But it appears that these are basically use until they die and dispose.

What would ya'all recommend for me to get to upgrade? I would like something that isn't so hard to suck through. Once again I may be trying too hard, but I did seem to really like the dual coil that I saw. Maybe something I can clean out? I feel like what I'm using isn't anything that can be disassembled but I'm still new too.

This is all very overwhelming to me. There are so many options out there and it appears I'm on the right track, but I also own a business and don't have days to sit down researching.

I would appreciate some feedback.

Also, is there a way to not have a battery? If I'm in the car or near a power source, it appears to me that not having to use a battery unless I need it would be a great way to go. Is there such a thing as just a USB power supply and a battery for when it isn't available? He77 with iPad chargers just about everywhere a battery seems like a waste unless you really need it. I have 5v built into all of our cars and even my tractor.

Anyway, I love the forum, and I can't believe it took me so long to get on board. I love vaping anywhere I feel like with no consequences. Just got done laying in bed with my wife and 2 year old watching Madagascar. Didn't have to go outside once tonight. Freaking amazing.

Thanks all!

Welcome to ECF and congratulations on starting your vaping journey even though it has gotten off to a bit of a rough start.

Pairing a variable voltage battery like an Ego Twist, KGO or Vision Spinner with a Vivi Nova delivery device is about as easy it gets and provides a wonderful vaping experience. Fill the Vivi Nova, put it on the battery and dial in the voltage that gives you the flavor/vapor/throat hit you prefer.

Your blueberry juice might have been the cause of your clearomizer's death. There are some juices that chemically react to plastic. The new Vivi Novas are made of plastic that is less reactive but one poster here had problems with her cinnamon juice etching her Vivi Nova. You can get Vivi Nova anodized aluminum tubes to use when you vape those juices. List of some plastic-unfriendly juices

After posting I did some searching and see that the packaging my cleartomizers came in looks nothing like whats available. Leads me to believe that I did get knock off stuff.

All but some of the more expensive mods are made in China. One simply can not associate brand with reliable quality control. The safest bet is to purchase from a trusted seller with a good reputation for customer service. Once you have 5 posts you can check the vendor threads for yourself.
