i just got my new ego and have been smoke free for almost two weeks! this is a great alternative but still quite a challenge i must say... gets easier, right? i have noticed that the hit doesnt feel as strong. it that just the way these things work or can i get a stronger feeling draw from an e cig?
a new direction!

Welcome to ECF. Ecigs don't simulate smoking, they only mimic it to a point. The first month is a challenge to everyone but you'll make it. Keep some higher nic around for the cravings for an analog. When the craving hits, vape the higher nic until it passes. Going for a walk with your PV also helps. Draw slower is the only advice I can give you. I'm glad that you picked a decent PV. Most of us started with the smaller kits and quickly moved up. If you are looking for a bigger throat hit, I can only suggest a variable volt mod like the Buzz from notcigs.com. They also carry the Infinity for a little less money but both models are really nice. Provape.com carried the ProVari which my hubby just loves but costs quite a bit.
Let the mods begin! 
You'll find as you get your lung capacity back, taste buds, and smell back the vapor hit becomes a little weak and you start looking for that little extra- It does subside (maybe) I found experimenting with different flavors, PG-VG amounts and Mods(voltage-resistance) you'll get what your after. This part of it takes a bit but if you approach it with an open mind it'll keep you off of that analogue- Check around the mod sections and get a feel for what might interest you there are a lot of experienced people here so have fun with it.

Welcome this thread might help.

thanks knobbysmoo. that helps a bit. but im still really unclear about some of this stuff. does it work with what i have now? can i get a stronger hit without getting a new e cig? i do like the ego, it lasts me all day.
Hello all
I am a newbie. I recently purchased TW Tornado here in Sarasota and I'm loving it! Put down the analogs immediately! My head is swimimg in liquids on this site though. I'll tryem all! Thanks! Happy vaping to all!

You can use a higher pg juice but don't go 100% unless you want a sore throat with the better hit. You can also use a LR low resistance attomizer which will create more and warmer vapor. You can also direct drip by taking the cartridge out and dripping 2-3 drops directly on the atty then replacing the cartridge empty until you can get a drip tip it will also give a stronger, fuller feel. You may need to order new juice and a drip tip and LR atty but the battery of your ego will work with it. cost for 1 LR atty and a drip tip is less than $15
i got a drip tip with my kit. i havent been sure about it, seems like a lot of effort. but i may give it a shot!
can i use an LR low resistance atomizer on my ego? what kind do i get?

Just about any supplier carries LR atties you just get one for a 510 eGo is built on the 510 connection type. Dripping is a bit of a hassle but it is well worth it. Try not to flood your atty (it will make a gurgling sound) if you do just take it off and blow into it holding a tissue over the connection end to clear it then put it back on and keep vaping.
thanks, i will look into that! im going to dig up the drip tip and give it a try...
I would strongly recommend you try a LR atty if you want more throat hit. Once you try it you'll probably never go back to the normal atties. There are LR 510 atties and LR 306 atties. Both of them will screw right into your eGo without any modification. The difference is that the 306's do not have the outer casing around them so you won't be able to put a regular 510 cartridge/drip tip on it. If you get a 306 atty you should also get a 306 drip tip. My favorite LR atty for the eGos are the LR 306's made by Cisco which you can get at Avid Vaper : Electronic Cigarettes, E-Liquid and Accessories.
You may be wondering what makes these atomizers better than the normal ones so I'll try to explain. It all comes down to Power. To calculate Power you first get the current in Amps by dividing the battery voltage in Volts with the atty's resistance in Ohms. Then you multiply the current in Amps with the voltage to get Power. It's easier to understand with an example.
An eGo battery puts out about 3.2 volts and a standard 510 atomizer has a resistance of about 2.2 ohms.
3.2 volts / 2.2 ohms = 1.45 amps (Current)
1.45 amps * 3.2 volts = 4.65 watts (Power)
When you put a lower resistance atty on (1.5 ohm) the Power will increase:
3.2 volts / 1.5 ohms = 2.13 amps (Current)
2.13 amps * 3.2 volts = 6.832 watts (Power)
As you can see, the 1.5 ohm atty will increase the power by about 50% over the 2.2 ohm atty. More power means shorter drags, more vapor, warmer hits, and more throat-hit.
The only concern with LR atties on the eGo is the amount of current you're pulling through it. eGo batteries aren't really made to handle 2 amps of current and this could potentially cause some problems (e.g, battery or atty failing). But don't let that scare you. I've been using LR attys on my eGo batteries for a long time and so have many others.
