Best ego type ecig?

[Stef64]

It's amazing how many people don't realize that the Riva really isn't better than an ego It's only better for maybe the first 30 minutes of vaping (depending on mah of the batt), after that the voltage drops below the constant voltage of the ego and just goes down from there.

I agree somewhat. The last hour or so on a Riva battery is not as good as the last hour on an eGo. However, during the first 50-75% of the charge the vape is hotter on the Riva. When the vapor starts dropping in quality you can just stick the battery back on the charger without affecting the battery's longevity. I, personally prefer having the "hotter" battery even if it means that I don't get as much use out of it as if I was using a regulated eGo battery. I am not saying that one is better that the other - it all depends on what you want and what works for you.

I agree with you on this. But vaping at lower voltage with LR attys/cartos is a poor man's way of getting the "same" result It burns a whole lot hotter, but gives you the vapor and th of higher voltage vaping......

That's true, but that is using SR atties & cartos. Try 5v with LR atties & cartos and see what happens. (you won't like it)

I've have not found that LR attys on a 3.7v or lower model truely duplicates the warmth or consistency of 5 volt or VV vaping on standard or dual coil cartomizers. Definitely better than standard attys at 3.7 volts. I also find that LR attys just don't hold up as well as standard resistence attys.

I don't want to be "locked-in" to using LR attys to get nice warm vapor. With a good 5 volt or VV model, I don't have that problem. That's the nice thing about 5 volt or VV, no need to be limited to LR attys. Not to mention the long battery life and better consistency than using LR attys. Plus dual coil cartos on a 5 volt or VV model are fantastic with no burnt taste at all.

I agree that higher voltage/resistance vaping is higher quality than lower voltage with lower resistance attys/cartos. Lower resistance at lower voltage just burns plain HOT and can easily burn the wicking material if you're not careful. A drip tip is pretty much required on a LR carto as the metal in the carto can get too hot on your lips.

I agree that the ego alone isn't that great compared to all the mods out there. For somebody coming from cigarette styled disposables, 510, or kr808-d, the ego would be amazing to them. It would taste about the same, but the battery life would put their previous e-cig to shame. Even the smallest 650 mah ego's charge would last about 3 times longer than their previous one. For a lot of people, that's all they need. Myself, I added the ego booster (which only works with genuine egos, not rivas due to the constant voltage of the ego) and a syringe tank mod and got the best of all worlds. I didn't have to start over with a completely different system but still get the long battery life, variable voltage, and long lasting liquid. To each their own though.

Only thing I found like this is the go-go...is it any good?

I believe the go-go has proprietary threading, which means it's not natively compatible with any 510 or eGo types of batteries, cones, cartomizers and tanks that use 510 threading, unless you get a go-go specific adapter. That would keep me from getting it no matter how it performs because you'd be fussing with an adapter for most new things you might want to try.

I agree yet I also dissagree.
Right now I have a great 555 from Backwoods loaded in a 3ohm carto tank @ 4.5v, but I also have the same juice loaded in a 2ohm carto @ 3.4v. Tastes completly different.
So far no one has written a law saying that I can't enjoy both.

I think we are on the same page. I would like to see more of the ECF regulars branch out and try some different models so they can give more "comparative" advice. There is a heck of lot more out there than just the "ego" and with better pricing and better performance. But the ego is definitely better than the standard mini's.

Well, sadly I've found my niche with my ego with booster and tank mod. I can't really seem to find a reason to branch out as this fits all my purposes I'm sure mods are great and all, but I just don't see anything being less fuss than this. Making the tanks and punching my cartos can be more work than a mod would require. But on a day-to-day basis, I do two things. Screw battery onto booster, fill tank if needed with easily removable filler plug. Since I only vape one flavor, I don't have a need to change anything else out But I don't have to deal with loose batteries, extra lil bottles that fit in my mod, squeezing a bottle to drip through an internal tube, that kinda stuff. I know there are people that love other devices, and I know I'd love more battery life. Eventually I'll upgrade my battery, I've seen 1300 mah ego batts, but I'll stick with what I know and love

Of the 3,587 in the study :Electronic cigarette: users profile, utilization, satisfaction and perceived efficacy:
The breakdown of users in the U.S. according to brand were Joye (40.5%), Vapor4Life (9.2%), Janty (5.8%), Totally Wicked (5.8%) and PureSmoker (5.3%)

Most of these are regulated 3.4v or 3.7-4.2v devices, if you are satisfied with vapes in the 7-9 watt range you are not locked into large devices or forced to choose different atomizers for different devices, I know for instance my 1.8ohm 901 atty will travel from my ego to my box mod to a mini 510 to my mechanical mod and offer a decent vape (for me) on all three. My experience with the 5v was that I was using a higher ohm cartomizer that was unsatisfying on anything else I owned and just wasn't worth the hassle of maintaining two separate inventories of cartomizers one at 2.8-3 for 5v and one at 1.8-2 for everything else....in the end I was getting a good vape on both.

According to the poll above the majority are using some type of 3.7-ish device, but there is a minority that needs a higher total wattage (people who need 10-12 watts) for them 5v, 6v, VV, or VW is really the only way to go. I think Basilray says he puffs away at 12 watts, if that's you...if a 1.5 306 on an 18650 3.7v mod doesn't do it for, definitely try a 5v or higher device.

As for the OP's question on the Go-Go, for a first purchase I would recommend something with standard threading either a 510 or 808/901 threading.

+1 on this. As he(she?) also mentioned, if you stick with a standard device, you can use it other devices later on if you choose to upgrade. I definately recommend what he/she(it?) mentioned there. Don't trap yourself into proprietary devices. Ask anybody who bought a kit from a mall or a gas station disposable and then wanted to upgrade

 

[Balthezar]

my kiss approach to a work day vape is an ego passthrough battery and ego mega dual coil carto and a 3ml bottle just in case

I have the eGo passthru, and I use smoktech 1.5 dual coil cartos, and it works great (for me). Just top it off once or twice a day, and I'm good to go. And you can take it with you if you want, not like most passthrus (passthroughs??...pass throughs?? LOL)

I agree that 5v vaping and vv vaping is awesome and is something that everyone should try, I think we're really jumpin ahead of ourselves and just gave a serious information overload. If anything I think we've probably confused the crap out of the guy that originally started the thread. Haha remember his first sentence, hes making his FIRST ecig purchase. We're talking about higher voltage/resistances, PCMs, what's regulated and whats not, and panto9111 might not even know if he likes vaping yet!
You'll have all the time in the world to try out the broad array of PVs and voltages and tanks and mods, etc.
I think you should get just a nice 3.7v or ego type PV to get you started, see if you like it and get the hang of it.
I think you would really like the EPower or the riva bc the 3.7v is a great way to start and will really let you get a feel for vaping, but any of the egos would be a great start too.
My Epower batteries last for a day to a day and a half and I honestly don't notice much of a difference between a battery fresh off the charger and a battery at the end of the day. And the ressurector cartomizers hold 2 ml of juice and last me the whole day.
If youd like your more than welcome to start off with a high voltage or vv device bc they are nice and a lot of people love them as you can see,, but I think a quality 3.7v device or an ego would be plenty to get you started in the vaping world and figure out what you like.

Goodluck and whichever way you choose youve got a lot of great I information to get you going!

I really liked using an ego but in the end it led me to buying the e-power. Both are great and were very effective for me but it is cheaper to buy parts for the e-power and the battery lasts longer which is big for me cause I vape constantly.

 

[hyperfluous]

another option to consider would be the echo, while i am only passing on what ive already read about it on here, its similar to the gogo but uses 901 threads so its a little more flexible and there are both single and dual coil carts in that format

 

[panto911]

thanks I actually have been thinking of the atuo echo looks good to me lol

 

[panto911]

thnaks everyone!

 

[panto911]

thnkyou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
