Hi! Let me tell you my history with vapeing and what I am looking for, maybe someone can help. First of all I have never and will never smoke a "real" cig. I got started on the e-cigs just from the local gas station when I got my mother to change over to it. Then I went to the Smart Tip and had been useing them for about a year. I only used the flavored tips but I think they changed their supplier because they just started tasting not so good. Last month I got the ego t with the type b tank. I like the size and the battery life and the manual button. I vape about a tank full every 24 hours and I only use flavored e liquids. The problem I am having with the e go T is that I am always having to mess with the wick. It is either to high or to low. I have had more dry hits then I would like. I have watched the videos from cignot about how to adjust them but it just seems to work for a little while. I think snaping the tank in and out every day causes it and I hate having to adjust it every few days. What I am looking for is pretty good vaper and good flavor and less hassle of driping or adjusting a wick daily. I know what I am looking for could be the e liquid it's self but I have tried several makers and sites and all seem to preform the same in the ego T. Would also like to know a good all american made e liquid site that has liquid that has a strong flavor, not tobacco. I want to vape something and know excatly what flavor it is without having to go back and look at the bottle or guess. So any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks in advance! Also sorry so long :p

since you already have ego-T batteries, i'd suggest you simply get some eGo Mega Dual Coil cartomizers -- no fuss, no muss, each fill lasts super long, and they have *much* better flavor than the ego-T tank. several places sell them, including Nhaler. as for an american ejuice supplier, Tasty Vapor has "in your face" flavor at excellent prices with excellent service.

These will work with your ego batteries Shizzle talked about them: Ego clear mega dual coil cartomizers they are nice because you can see what liquid is left in them and you will not find a better price on these.

For liquid I would have to suggest: Nitelitevapor again excellent prices and i havent found a flavor i didn't like.

Much agreed with this. Might as well if you already got eGo batts.

+1 for the dual coil cartos. They'll make your life easier. Boge is not dual coil but they're great cartos also. CrystalVaping has the best prices I'm aware of. Look in Deals and Steals for sales. You need a 510 atomizer or two to try juices and drip tips. Fining juice you love is the hardest part. You'll get many suggestions. Look through threads about favorite juices. I look for ones I haven't tried that several name as their fave. For non-tobacco flavors at good prices I'd suggest KickBassVapor. They do amazing flavor-layering, like no other supplier I've tried. GourmetVapor is having a 50% off sale right now. You can get the tiny sample sizes and try several. I occassionally vape their Watermelon Jolly Rancher (they nailed that flavor) and their vanillas are good for fixing other flavors and by themselves. Be prepared to wait a bit with GV. They get super-busy during their sales.

I would suggest trying at least a couple of different cartomizers. I know that the EMDCCs seem to be well liked but I don't think they're necessarily for everyone nor do they seem to work well with every juice - at least that's been our experience. I like them with some flavors but with others not so much. Battery life is not so great with them too, which may or may not matter to you. But they do hold a lot of juice and thus far less frequent filling. Though it doesn't sound like you vape a whole lot so you might be fine with any standard cartos capacity.

We used tanks when we first started vaping and after trying cartos discovered that tanks really seem to mute flavors. So I think no matter which carto you try you'll find a difference in flavor. I also found that the tanks had less throat hit and cooler vapor. That's something you might want to consider when ordering cartos. The lower the ohms and dual coils will produce warmer vapor and more throat hit so you might want to try a variety to see what you like best - say EMDCC, Boge 2.0, Smok Tech 1.7, and maybe some higher resistance cartos too. If you end up liking the Boge or Smok Tech (aka Resurrectors) you can buy them in quantity from Crystal Clear Vaping for a great price. All of these can be used on your batteries and to start you could try buying one or two of each at Madvapes. Pick up a drip tip too since they're so much more comfortable and make topping off your cartos a lot easier.

For liquids, as I said, you may find that just about anything is going to have more flavor. But if you're looking for lots of in your face flavor I second someones suggestion of Tasty Vapor. Personally, I prefer more subtle flavors and found Tasty Vapor to be too much for me. If you're looking for delicious but but more subtle and complex flavors, I also second Kick Bass. If you find them lacking in flavor you can always get extra flavor shots. Amazing flavors, great service, great prices. Can you tell I love them? ;)

You guys are great! Some very good info, but looks like most everyone suggests the ego mega dual coil cartomizers. If you don't mind answering a few more questions for me. About how many times could I use one cart. I've been looking at all the suggested pages above and I think I will try a few different ones from a few sites and see how I like them and then if they are as good as yall say ill but in larger bulk. Im a little OCD so I am looking for something that will fit the battery like the atty that came with it, so the shape doesn't change. Also I have a blue and a pink battery so im gonna hate a black cart. Also I haven't gotten all of the terms and # down yet. If I am just looking over the internet for a dual cart that will fit my ego battery, do I just look for ones that say ego, someone had said above a 510 would this be the same? Again thanks for everyones help, I love this place!

As long as you take care of your carto they can last you anywhere from days to weeks. I have some Boge 2.0s that I've been using for over two weeks and are still great. My husband has been using his EMDCCs for just over a week and they're on their last legs. Just keep your carto moist and top off when it starts tasting/feeling a bit dry or "off". Of course some juices are harder on cartos but that can vary widely. Some say it's the higher VG contents (and thicker juice) that kills them faster. That hasn't always been the case for me. Those cartos that I've been using for 2 1/2 weeks have had 60 or 70% VG in them. But I do have another juice that's the same ratio that destroys my cartos in days.

As for keeping the shape of your ego, you'll need some cones. I don't know of a supplier for pink or blue cones offhand but maybe someone else does. Maybe the same place you bought your setup? Anyway, once you find them they'll fit right over the carto so you won't see much of it and you'll still have the nice shape. The EMDCCs are the same width as your battery and so you won't need a cone but they only come in black or clear. Most other cartos seem to be available in black or stainless, but like I said, the cone will cover much of that. You can also pick up some fancy blue or pink drip tips to replace the mouth piece on the carto.

As for what will fit - your ego is a 510 threaded device. That means that any carto that is a 510 should work.
