I'm not sure that I'd agree on it being the best for newbs, although it is indeed bloody good.
I have to argue, though, that the Davide is up there on par with the ProTank 2.
I would agree with the OP.
I started with some Ego-C's and T3's. Tried some other various pieces (Spinners, EVOD's, Iclears, etc.) and always had one problem or another with the various cartomizers (leak, burnt taste, wouldn't produce vape, etc.).
I got the PT2 nearly two weeks ago and absolutely love it. I've got an order in for a couple more and will be getting the mini version as well. I wish it would have been available 6 weeks ago, and anyone staring now I would encourage to go straight to it. It's just as easy to use, more durable, and changing the tip is a great bonus (have already purchased 5 different tips).
I'm still using the EGO-C, which I love, and will be getting a couple of winders soon. Near the end of the year I might move up to Mod's, but for now this set up is great.
As for the Davide, my wife has one, and while I like it too, I don't like refilling it. The holes are just too small, and don't always feel like putting on my glasses just to fill the tank. My wife's favorite juice is pretty thick, which makes it even harder to fill without getting juice down the center tube. For that reason, I prefer the PT2 over the Davide.
