Newbie here. Questions about Apollo Atomizers.

[EastBay]

Hey there everyone.

I am semi new to vaping. Smoke free for 6 months. I start out with Safecig, Then green smoke and now Apollo TGO tank kit.

I gave up on Safecig and Green smoke, Because of the limitation of juices and flavors. I recently bought a Apollo TGO tank kit. 1000mah battery. The battery's are great. But I wish I could say the same for the Atomizers. The (2) Atty's that came in my kit lasted for about 1 week. I took them back and received replacements. (1) lasted for 1 week and the other lasted about the same. Whatever. I ordered another Atty and a pack of carts. 2 day's later this Atty is bad. No vapor, Nothing. I took it back and got a replacement. The replacement lasted about 1 day and now I am thinking to myself what the hell is going on here???? I am just wasting time and money getting all these replacements that "Don't seem to be working"

So my question is,

Are there any other Atomizers I can use that will be compatible with the thread pattern on the Apollo TGO tank kit? That will actually last 2 weeks without tasting like crap or just flat out not working? I just want to vape and enjoy vaping my blends of E-juice I have from ECblends. Which creates AMAZING juice!!!

I am looking towards other options for atomizers at thing point.

Please post if you can give some positive feedback.

Thank you.

Hi & Welcome to ECF! I'm not sure what thread pattern your PV uses but I'd guess it would be a 510. Whatever it is, the atty/cartridge setup you're using should be easily replaceable with cartomizers or perhaps a few other options. Did you get the PV from Apollo?

May I be brutally honest?

What you have is an eGo-T by another name. The battery is good, but the tank systems on these and similar devices are nothing but trouble and heartache. You are very lucky that you got it from Apollo. It's unbelievable that any company would warranty an atomizer for 2 weeks. Most companies wouldn't replace an atomizer if it lasted for one hour.

The good news is that there are other options. The tGo is compatible with the eGo type attachments. There is a huge variety of clearomizers available and you can also use 510 cartomizers or clearomizers on it. Try the CE4+ (Stardust) clearomizers aka eGo Vision Clearomizer. It is probably the most popular thing that people in your position use to replace the atomizer/tank systems of their egos and ego clones. The E1 Cartomizer for eGos also gets very good reviews, is rebuildable and has a larger capacity. There are a million different things you can replace that atomizer/tank system with and end your frustration.

Yeah, I am not 100% sure. I think it's a 901 and takes the type A carts. Someone correct me if I am wrong. I am still a newbie to this technical lingo.

Yeah, it's a 510. It's a rebranded eGo-T. Freaks me out that Apollo warrants the attys for 2 weeks though.

Thanks for your honest input. I am just looking into other option to vape. Sign me up. Post up some links. I am looking to end my frustrations ASASP !!!!

Thanks.

Oooops.. The tGos were a pretty common generic type brand a couple years ago. If it's a 901 connection, it may be a bit more complicated, but type "A" and type "B" are usually the designations of the eGo line, which is a 510.

Best thing to do is contact their customer service and just ask them. Even if it's a 901 connector, you can get adapters if you need to. Bottom line is that somehow, somewhere, you will be able to get something to replace that tank system with something that works better and is more reliable.

I'd be happy to if I were 110% sure it was a 510. The fact that you even mentioned a 901 has given me second thoughts, since it's not impossible. Strange, but not impossible. Back in the day, I remember the tGo and they were exactly like the ego, but it's not a copyrighted name or anything so it's not inconceivable that what you have uses a 901 connector.

Well. Apollo does not state on their website what thread pattern their TGO kit is. I had to search on this forum and do a bit of research to find out. Looking at thread patterns and pictures. I am not sure if it's a 510 or 901. By looking at other brands selling a similar kit I assumed it's a 901 thread with the Type A cart. 1.5ml I think. If I could buy something to just bypass the atty I would. But it would have to thread into this battery.

I could email them. But honestly I have been playing email tag with Apollo for the last 2 weeks. I think they are a little annoyed with me emailing them so much. But hey. I am a consumer. I spend money and I expect a quality part that will work for more than 4 days. Hell a pack of smokes is $5 and lasts 3 days. at $8 for an atty I expect that part to last at least 10 days. Trying to find alternatives to quitting smoking is great, But when you run into dead ends. It just sucks. I just want the products to work for a fair amount of time and repeat.

Go to their website and click on the chat thingy on the bottom left. Last time I did that I got a shipping quote to Ireland in about 30 seconds. Their service is really good. You might have to wait until it's not 1 in the morning though.

If you looked at similar kits, you'd see that the eGo-C is the closest to what you have and their thread is a 510/ego type. The designation "type A" and "type B" were used to distinguish the size and shape of the cone into which the atomizer fit. There is a Vgo, which is an 808 threaded device, but that's the only *go I've ever seen that wasn't a 510, except for the Gogo, which is a proprietary thread.

The odds that you have a 510 are pretty good. The odds that you can order something in less than 24 hours from now to replace that tank system is even better. You just need to verify what it is you have. Unless it's some proprietary thread pattern, there will be a device, or combination of adapters and device, that you will be able to use to replace that tank system and end your frustration.

I wish I had an answer as to why you were popping attys so often. But, IME, it's more productive to move on. Even if those attys were lasting, you'd still be better off replacing them with something better. That's the path that 90% of all eGo-C and eGo-T users end up taking and their usual response when they do is "why did it take me so long?".

So, get with Apollo asap and verify the connection. The rest is easy and you'll be on your way to vaping nirvana in no time.

How long have you had this tGo? You do realize that Apollo has a 30 day money back guarantee, right? If you have had it less than 30 days, you might be able to get a refund. They might ding you for the costs of atomizers or something, but it's worth looking into.

 

[EastBay]

Yeah, I might look into that option and just start over with another kit. I bought this TGO kit on 5/23. To many headaches. Total BS. Vaping should not be this hard. Waaay to many parts and crap.

Sorry about my negativity. But. Jesus Christ. Vaping should not be this hard.

Thanks for your info.

I talked to Rob again today. Since I am having all these issues with the TGO. He offered me a swap option at no extra charge to the Vtube. So I will wait until I get that in the mail. Apollo's customer service is pretty legit. Rob is very passionate about the Apollo Brand.

Hopefully things will work out.

 

[sailorman]

Great! Nice upgrade. I've never heard anything bad about their C.S.

 

[EastBay]

Yeah. That is good to hear. Ill try dripping to start. But I would rather find a tank mod for the Vtube. So I can just charge the battery and vape on the run.

Seems like a lot of people on here are talking about this Vivi Nova 2.5 Tank? Does that fit on the Vtube?

 

[Iusedtoanalog]

Hi EastBay. Yes it will fit the Vtube. And it looks pretty nice on there too. Good luck finding you ideal vape, you will get there.
