Not true. I have both. I have the older original T with glass upgrade. If you keep the ohms above 1.5 it will work. Go below that and you need to get a Mech mod. When I do go low ohm I use my K101 Mech. One thing to try is the 7/64th ceramic wick. Easy to break but when you get it right they are nice. Just take the wick wrap the top part where the coil will go with Unbleached cotton cheese cloth thread one layer thick then wrap your coil. Hardly any break in time that way. Nice thing about ceramic is you don't have to fiddle with poking the SS mesh to fix a short. Can't short. You should also look into the Protank. I have fallen for them big time. The newer ones are out which have better breakage resistance. You can tell them from the older ones as they look like they have a nut inside the tank. That nut gives top to bottom metal support to the tank unlike the older that used the glass for support.
