Yes, they're "starter kits", but that doesn't make them bad or you any less of a vaper than someone using larger gear. There's reason why "ego style" gear has such longevity. It's great gear for some people. Don't let anyone make you feel like you're less of a vaper just because you use smaller gear. If your gear works for you, great! Be happy.
vape on and welcome to the community.
Sorry. Soap box. Sometimes it feels like people using smaller gear get bullied or pushed out of the community and that really irritates me. You are WELCOME here.
That's OK. Everyone has to start somewhere. We weren't born knowing what we know. We had to learn it
through trial and error and discussion with other vapers. ECF was critical to my
vaping education. Please, visit, read, and ask questions. We want you to learn.
Now, I'm really getting off my soap box. Really.
I agree with
@roxynoodle . Going forward, if you like the tube style gear, you'll want to look for something that's eGo threaded or 510 threaded. That will give you the most flexibility in gear choices. If it's not variable voltage/wattage, don't buy it. My BF really liked Vision Spinner when we were using tube styles and I really liked the Innokin iTaste VV. Kanger has some great tanks that work on eGo batteries and a few other companies have some too. When it comes to tanks, I'm Kanger fangirl and I'm not sure if that's out of habit or objective evaluation and I'm a fan of Innokin batteries and I feel that's a bit more out of objective evaluation. I've not tried a lot of eGo threaded tanks that weren't Kanger, but I can tell you that I didn't like the iClear 16s or the Hello Twins tanks.
