Newb here, looking for some advice on what other pieces of kit I should be trying out.
I've been going for a couple of weeks now -- I started with an Ego-C kit (actually some kind of knockoff I think since the batteries are 1100mAh). I later bought some Smoktech 510 XXXL dual-coil cartomizers to try the difference.
The standard eGo-C tank and atomizer systems seem like a brilliant design to me, but the results are very uneven. I find the draws take forever (I got myself in trouble at first, flooding the cone by trying to draw too hard) but even going slow there is sometimes ok flavor and vapor, and sometimes hardly any. I feel like I don't have any control over it. Also they sometimes (not always) heat up to what seems like an unhealthy degree, even after using them for a very short time.
The cartomizers are frankly gross to look at, especially with a dark liquid, and I don't feel like I can really tell when I need to top them off. Not super often since they are really big, but when the liquid is drawn away from the sides (but maybe still on the inner batting) it's tough to tell. Even with frequent top-offs, I get an unpredictable mix of great flavor/th/vapor, hardly anything, and terrible burny flavors. Again, I feel like I'm not in control of the experience. The filler/batting stuff bugs the crap out of me.
So I'm going to have to keep looking for an easy-to-use and consistent setup with decent flavor and vapor (though I care more about the vapor, frankly).
Any ideas or tips on what to try next? I'm thinking of trying:
I have read good and bad things about all of these and don't really know what to do next. I would looove some expert advice!
(FWIW I am very happy with the batteries themselves and have no immediate plans there other than getting more backups)
Thanks!

Any ideas or tips on what to try next? I'm thinking of trying:
- clearomizers (the CE2, CE3, or CE4 kind)
- the punched-cartomizer tank things
- boge cartomizers
- this "light-saber" thing
- the Vision Stardust
- a plain-old atomizer with a drip tip (I don't even know how this works LOL)
