What brand Egos are you using? Real Joye batteries are breaking? How are they breaking?

And to heck with atomizers. Most use cartomizers for everyday vaping and atomizer + drip tip for testing juices, vaping occasional juices and ones too thick for cartomizers. Cartos have limited lives BUT every time you start a new one it's like your PV is brand new. I can get about 10 days out of a Boge 510 carto using thin clear juices. I use 80PG/20VG or less VG and avoiding all juices that drop flavoring sediment in the stuffing (typically dark, opaque or cloudy juices). Sediment craps up everything, both atomizers and cartomizers, baking onto the coil and clogging wicks or stuffing, ruining the wicking and drag.

Joye eGo biggest batterys, eGo atomizers and the eGo T Cartridges (blue or white)

The battery probably breaks because of the juice floodings. I broke one today by dropping, lost another one last week and a pass trough doesn't work anymore after 2 months. I bought 11 batterys and 15 attys in the last year.

I took my old kit from fifty one ( bought as first kit, only used this for 2 days) out and decided I need something new, but I see a lot of new things came out and want to know what is the best, or better than the dripping ego T.

Can I use those ego T cartomizers? what do I need to buy ? or is there anything better. Also tell me where you buy yours. I always bought from Liberty Flight.

Thank you!

One suggestion would be a Kgo - I think they are 3.7v (not 3.4 like Ego) can anyone confirm that? I think people get a kit with 1100mah batteries?

Or look at mods - get something sturdy. simple mechanical, and the batteries are standard industrial batteries, protected lithium Ion or preferred would be AW IMR (a bit less charge but hold the voltage up better). Keep spare batteries around. They only cost about $5 per battery. Something with as much charge as your largest Joye batteries will likely be larger than your Ego though.

Re cartomizers - they have nothing to do with T and do not use an atomizer. You batteries are Ego batteries with 510 threading. You can use any 510 or Ego cartomizer 1.7 to 3 ohms (1.7 is the hotter end of that range). Some will only go as long as 2 ohms on mass produced encased big batteries like Ego and will only go lower on mods. Some will go down to 1.5 ohms on Ego etc but those do occasionally kill mass-produced big encased batteries. The most popular cartomizers for Ego and all 450mah+ 510-threaded devices are Boge 510 2 ohm.

I get Boge cartos at Liberty-Flights.com, LiteCigUSA.net, NiteliteVapor.us. Goodprophets, Crystal Clear Vaping

And note - Liberty-Flights.com states their warranties on all parts. Go check their size and see if your battery was under warranty.

You can use your ego T batteries with anything that is 510 threaded. So anything that you want to try, as long as it states somewhere in the description that it's 510, will work. However, don't go below 2.0ohm on your batteries or you'll be buying a couple more before you should have too.

Anything better? Of course but then you're talking about mods if you mean ecigs. If you mean cartomizers, I prefer Boge 2.0ohm on the ego's. They can be purchased at just about any vendor including liberty-flights.com.

I have personally had good luck with an Echo from here:

Echo 650-1300mAh Complete Kit

The "Echomizers" (cartomizers) are durable as all hell and seem to last forever and hold a bunch of liquid. That is threaded in the KR808D-1 thread pattern and your Ego is probably in the 510 pattern so you may wish to look and I think that site (I know others do) find the same exact thing in 510 threading. The difference is that the 510 holds 2.5ml instead of the 3ml held by the the Echo version.

I'd have to second the opinion on the eGo Mega Dual Coil Cartomizer. I'm vaping with one right now on an eGo battery and it's a great reliable vape. They hold a bunch of liquid so they don't have to be refilled very often, no bad hits (unless you let it run out of juice) and not near as fiddly as the tank/atomiser setup on an eGo-T.
You will have the same portability and durability (if not more) than the current rig you are using and it's a way to move to cartos and away from the eGo-T. I've had many of the same experiences you've had with the eGo-T and am much happier with the EMDCC. I've been using the same carto for a week and a half and am going to clean it tomorrow. The only reason I'm going to do that is that I'm tired of the juice, not because there's anything wrong with the carto.
The one thing I love so much about this forum is that everyone is free with advice and gives so many options with detailed explanations that us newbies can sort things out to find something that works for almost any situation.

I just bought one of those 1300mAh kits. I don't know if its very good, but I will try.
I also bought 2 Echomizer-DC Echo Dual Coils and the syringes and cleaning kit.

I will look further in something new, but with this kit I can figure out the cartos.

Thx for the recommendation to the GLV 2, I will look into that and probably buy one next month or so.
