for me it was the disposables I used before getting into real vaping. 21st century is the worst... Fantasia is a joke too. The CE4 plastic clearo is a close second.
Worst vape gear you have owned?

I can think of two clone atomizers that I never even bothered building.
1 well reviewed - a velocity mini, but I needed to put in the bottom feed pin, and it's totally wobbly once I put that in.
Another is almost funny - it's like an oversized Nuppin I got out of curiousity, but the holes in the deck aren't the same distance from the center post, and worse, the screws don't go in far enough to actually trap a wire - unless you're using something as thick as like a paperclip.
Pretty sure there's more.
Not counting juice I threw out - I'm not picky, but I've dumped a couple bottles...

I'm with Fish on the Groove11 , piece of junk , you would think I would have known better after going through 3 Smok Zmaxes ......
I considered those when I was on plastic clearos and an ego. What makes it worse than say a Kanger t3? Just curious
I don't know much about Kanger T3's, but from a quick google search, they're pretty much the same thing it looks like. They're incredibly expensive, have a lot of problems, are cheaply made, are simply a waste of money, and I would assume terrible for the environment. The tanks have so many problems and they are disposables at 9 dollars a pop and the juices are 8 dollars per for a 10ml bottle. They're designed to suck your money away from you.
It is much more economical to put some research in and invest in a decent box mod or some other actual setup. You'll be paying a higher initial amount (let's say $130 for a Sigelei 100w, tank, and batteries) but after that all you have to pay for is replacement coils that can last upwards of a few weeks, and juice at let's say $15 for 30ml. With Njoys you pay I think it was $29.95 (not 100%) for the starting kit, but then you'll have to constantly buy replacement tanks at 9 dollars and juices (at a measly 10ml) for 8.
The tanks always will give you problems, like coming apart, tasting weird, burning, glass popping off the tank, or the mouthpiece getting stuck to the tank itself (the wicks don't last too long either). The juice itself is I'm sure much less quality than that of other name brand vendors, and at $8 per 10ml, what's the point? I strongly advise anyone who is potentially going to buy a Njoy, to get something else.
It is your choice though; $130 initial investment, and then 10 dollars for 4 coils every month or potentially longer with the addition of juice which can range from 4-20 dollars for 30ml (with your choice of vg/pg ratio). Or a $29.95 investment, and then replacing your tank literally weekly at $9 and paying for 10ml bottles of juice at $8 whenever you run out.
P.S. Njoys I believe only have 650 mAh, so you'll constantly have to recharge it.
Mine was the Kangertech Protank 2 I still hate that thing 
Could never to get it to wick properly
Could never to get it to wick properlyIt has to be this:
It was a truly wretched device, but it was my first ever vape, and it spurred me on to better things. It got juice in my mouth constantly, I could only use it for two hours before I had to charge it for 3 hours, and the vape was just crap. I knew there had to be a better way and happily there was

Kanger KBox:
Sparks flying when putting the battery cap on, sqeaking and badly grinding battery cap threading, poor battery life, rattlensnake PWM modulation and smells of crisp electronics after 2 weeks of use. It does still work however.
Bought it some time last year while my DNA device was in the paintshop.

Wow, great summary of the reasons to upgrade from disposable clearos. I made the switch to a glassomizer on an ego a while ago (not stellar itself, the aspire ETS BDC coils are terrible) and then got a KBOX40 that and eventually wanted a tank that the box would power ok so I got an Arctic tank.
I never got the grinding on the battery threading or the smell of electronics but my kbox40 does have terrible battery life. I want to get a better mod soon.
Good ole ego-T got me started. Pisspoor performance compared to whats available today.And expensive too boot since you had to chuck the whole atty when it was through.
Yet it was convincing enough to keep me around the vaping. Started with worst, so to speak. Got only better after that. Except for the CE4. Leaking, spitting, finicky....
CE5...not meant to, but rebuildable. Don't laugh - them and the EVOD's ... with bit of tweaking the coils and a smallish 650mAh power source they're very unobstrusive. With a bit of discretion, I think I could get away vaping them at an ANTZ convention
... So I'm keeping them around
Maybe I have been too harsh on it. All the stuff I described did and does happen, but it's functional mod. At the time and price range considered it was pretty much the only option available to me aside from the sigelei mini 30w box, which unfortunately was sold out.
By today's standards, something like the evic vtc mini has it beat in every regard and then some.
