Unlike most here (apparently) I think the ego-c atty/cartridge setups work quite well, especially for a beginner. I don't use mine much anymore, but they're PERFECT for an intermediate "taste" of a new juice, somewhere between a dripper and filling an entire clearo. I've found that while drippers give the best flavor, they don't necessarily represent what you'll get out of the juice if you're going to fill a carto or clearo, and the ego-c lets you put about 1/2 ml in the cartridge and try it out for a little while
