I am only one week into vaping and six years past analogs. Let me say that I am by no means a heavy vaper. So far I am on my first charge of my eGo-T with a 1000 mAh and still going. I think it has a lot going for it depending on your style. I did not think I would like a manual battery but I love it. I am a big fan of the whistle mouth piece on the carto. So much of a fan that I am looking for those type of cartos instead of the regular round ones for my next PV. I am going to get some type of 510 with a PCC so I can have some guilty pleasure flavors along for the day but still have my main flavor (Wintergreen) for my eGo-T. Plenty of good advise so far, so you are on the right track.
