I've been vaping a year and 4 months now. Before I bought anything I read on the web for a few weeks, trying to decide if vaping would work for me and what gear to get. I had smoked for 55 yrs and the last 20 of them 2 cartons a week.
The first year I vaped Ego T's moving to C's when they arrived. Cheaper to replace the atomizer head than pitch the whole body. Batteries lasted well had a mix of regular and pass thru batteries, no 650mah, only higher.
Then I found vaping channels on the net. Was instantly exposed to 'mods' or apv's as some would prefer to call them, so I started investigating those. Now I own 5 SB's, 1 Helix (for vaping at 3.7), 4 Provaris, and 3 ego C Twist 1000 mah batteries. I also have some ego C rigs complete with their A type carts that I use when I want to carry one in a shirt pocket. Oh yeah, and one of the new version chrome look Lava Tubes which has a sticky button/misfire problem and sits on the shelf most of the time. That one is a replacement for the first one that only fired 1 out of 10 times. No more LT's.
Most of my PV's wear carto tanks. I have some Smoketech tanks both sizes, small with a sleeve for ego's, large for SB's and Provari's some Phiniac glass tanks for SB's (they fit them better than the Provaris). I have a RATank (rebuildable atomizer over a supply tank) sits on a Provari, a bunch of kanger horizontal coil cartos for a change from tanks, and the dripping attys.
In the last 6 months or so I started to make my own juice, bought the Twists to drip on to taste new batches in progress. Using a twist with a LR 1.5 debridged atomizer and drip shield lets me build my juice and taste at the 3.2 to 3.7 range for the SB's and Helix and at the 4.2 to 4.4 volts I like to vape at in the Provaris in tanks holding dccs at 1.5. Not all juices are heat friendly, I've found, but I love the warm vapor. Some flavors do best at 3.7 some higher. I'm also vaping at 4mg nic now.
I think the twists are perfect for starting new vapers on. I've helped quite a number in the time I've been vaping already, I started them on ego's, T's before the C's arrived and then told them as their T atty's die to replace them with C's. Now that the Twists have arrived I'm starting newbies on them with C attys and bodies until they get the hang of it. So far, from experience, ego's seem to be a slam dunk for the new vapers to start on. Easy to use, T's were moderately frustrating to clean properly, C's are easier.
I will never go back to tobacco cigarettes. Vaping is a lung and life saver, I'm convinced.
Vape what you like on what you like. Your taste buds are the ones you have to please, not anyone elses
