Aren't the kGo's in the 4.2 range off the charger? If so, I think we can safely bet that the wicks are getting burnt.
Guess that would be 1 point in Twist's favor.
As a newbie, however, and I can speak as one because I am one, newbies can get "very" caught up with all the great advice and options available, so I'll give this advice:
Your goal with a starter system is just that. To start. You can spend a ton of unnecessary money looking for the holy grail which you are not going to find in a starter system. MY goal was simply get off analogs. I am not expecting perfection (yet). Just finding a few juices I like, and 1 or 2 delivery systems I can live with, is really all I need to do right now.
Just doing that is expensive enough.
When you're off the analogs, then you can step up from your starter stuff. There are some sophisticated knowledgeable advanced vaporers here.
I'm finding some huge limitations that would not be limitations for others. I am not a youngster, and the arthritis in my hands really makes some of the tanks and such quite difficult to put together. So, I'm adjusting my stuff to fit
my own particular needs. It may not be the *best* experience, but it's an experience I can live with. I don't expect heaven yet, but I'm glad to be out of cancer stick "h***". Maybe I'm too practical and not picky enough. LOL
I did take John's advice about the twist, and I don't think you can go wrong with these because for starter system, I believe it represents "most bang for the buck. " (thank you, John)
. But I also have a backup starter system (knockoff) which is absolutely fine, too, and which I will be passing on to a friend who wants to quit analogs, but I'm testing it first. For all practical purposes, it's fine, too. (two) 650mAh batts, 510 threads, nice little ego knockoff for cheap. No VV, but it's a great hand-me-down for a newbie.
Quite frankly, ifyou really want to quit smoking you can even use a disposable. I mean, it depends on your committment.
Square82 is the best disposable I found....it has a button you have to push to take a hit.......only disposable I found with a manual system. I keep 3 of these around in strawberry and fruit punch, just in case.
The Altcig CE3's come in 2 resistances. I use the 2.4-2.6 version from Discount Vapers on my eGo Twists with AVE VG juice all day long at 4 volts with no burnt taste. If you go up to 4.2 they do taste funky and burnt.
I ordered some of the clearos they call V2 but some call V3.....sort of like the ones you link to except they have long wicks and changeable attys. The bottom and post screw off as well, and you can even get a replaceable tube for it. So, if I put in an eliquid that crack the tube, I just screw the whole thing apart and replace stuff.
I love these things. I can't tell you what they are called (since every site I've been to calls it something different.) But they are vision clearos with spare atty/wick assemblies. You can get them in 1.8, 2.4, etc. and they have the LONG wicks.
