I'm enjoying my Joye Ego-T very much, and am about to convert it to an Ego-C. I've heard enough about the Darwin, Provari, Prodigy V 3.1, and all of the other mods out there to know that the Ego-C isn't the "best" PV out there, but it's what I'm recommending to all my friends as a very good starting point. No point in shelling out $160 for a Provari and then find out vaping isn't for you, and if you do move up from something like an Ego-C you can always use it for a backup, or give it to someone who wants to try vaping. Plus it works pretty damn well.
