I'm new to the forum and somewhat new to vaping, but I thought I'd put in my two cents worth. Ex-PAD smoker, tried BluCigs off and on but they wouldn't cut it, then a coworker offered to advise me on a setup- the eGo-C 1000mAh, so I smoked the last one in my pack and ordered it. It was great for the first few days, then it started to get finicky- flow issues, draw issues, leaks, lack of satisfying vapor- almost bad enough that I was going to buy another pack of smokes, but I decided to try some more atty's and cartos and they did the trick, namely a dual-coil and a Vivi Nova tank. The other day I got a plain low resistance atomizer and have been dripping, and it's just heaven; nothing else tames the beast quite as well, so much so that I think I'm about to pull the trigger on a REO VV Grand, and I'm not even a month in. But, to the point, the eGo starter was a good intro, and the batteries are useful, but I found it in it's stock set-up to be inconsistent; when it's good, its really good, but it could fail me when I needed it. If you get one, I'd advise that you buy a couple different types of atomizers/cartomizers to go with it so you have backup options just in case (the one that helped me the most was a SmokTek dual-coil large diameter carto, until I discovered the Vivi LR and dripping). Also this forum is 100% pure gold for information and good opinions/ideas.
