When I first started vaping, I wish I had known how tricky it can be to find the right setup. There are so many options for devices, coils, and e-liquids, and it took me a while to figure out what actually worked best for me. I also didn’t realize how important it is to keep everything clean—especially the tank and coils. Neglecting that can really affect the flavor and performance. Another thing I wish I had known was how quickly my preferences would change. What I liked in the beginning didn’t always satisfy me later on, so I found myself constantly tweaking my setup. If I had known this early, I would’ve saved myself some time and money. What do you wish you knew when you started vaping? I’d love to hear your thoughts! ---

I can totally relate,trying something new leading to a lot of trial and error. ---

Totally relate!!! I learned the hard way when my juice started tasting weird. Now I make it a habit to clean everything weekly, good habit though ---

Great post, Elliott! I can totally relate to your experience, especially about how tricky it is to find the right setup. One thing I wish I had known when I started vaping is how crucial it is to start with a simple device. I spent way too much on advanced gear that was overwhelming to figure out. Starting simple would’ve saved me a lot of frustration. ![Well Done Yes GIF by MLB](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/vaporesso/original/1X/175885adf17821d4dca727dc93416e36c6897bfc.webp) ---

Oh, I can totally relate! Finding the right setup really is a journey—it took me forever to figure out what worked best for me too. And yes, keeping everything clean is such a game-changer! I learned that the hard way when my flavor started tasting off. It’s funny how preferences evolve, right? What seemed perfect at first ends up feeling so different later on. Great question—I wish I had known more about the importance of the PG/VG ratio when I started. It would’ve saved me so much trial and error!
