Best ego type ecig?

[panto911]

Okay I know for my first purchase I want a ego type e-cig.
I want it to be able to last all day, battery wise and without dripping or topping off the fluid.
And if possible to be a well made one, like I don't want to have to mess with it....lol
Only thing I found like this is the go-go...is it any good?

I am not sure, but I know the next e cig I am going to get is an ego type. It's called a Vgo. Here's a picture of it. It's from RevolverCig. Good luck in your hunt for your first PV!

The eGo is only 3.4 volts so I would not go that route. In the same category, a better option would be either the E-Power 510 or the Riva UNC. Both are 3.7 volt batteries which will perform better. Of the two, I would consider the E-Power first because the batteries last 4 - 5 times longer (lifetime wise) and only cost $4 - $5 instead of the $14 - $20 you pay for the eGo batteries that will not last nearly as long.

But if you don't want to be topping off or refilling cartomizers, then you might want to consider a "feeder" model such as the 5 volt GLV 3 or a Reo. The 5 volt GLV 3 comes with a lifetime warranty and will provide significantly better vapor warmth and consistency than any of the eGo type models:

IMO it is the Riva or the KGo. The reason being they both provide more voltage than the eGo and are compatible with all eGo atomizers, cartomizers and cones.

You can get an eGo or Riva kit, just make sure the batteries are 1000+ mAh. I think some companies package this as "ePower". The standard eGo or Riva kit has 650 mAh batteries and these last me about half a day.

As far as not filling or dropping off... I think a lot of us want this but it's a challenge. You can try Resurrector cartos from Crystal Clear Vaping. Or you could try a tank system. I just use Boge LR cartos and carry 5 of them. This gets me through the day and I refill them all each night.

I have the e-go tank a and still love it. I keep 3 going so can get thru most of the day without refilling the tanks. This way the batteries do not even need charged daily. Not sure why so many others prefer the carts or dripping when this seems much less complicated. As long as you don't let the liquid get too low, the leaking issues are minimal.

I have a 900 mah joye ego mega with a booster and a syringe tank mod (see my avatar for my ego evolution) and it's been great for me. Variable voltage and a tank that normally lasts me around 2 - 3 days. I'm actually using a 650 mah ego-t batt with it now though. Forgot to charge my battery night before last so it died on me halfway through the day yesterday. The 650 will probably die out here soon.

 

[B4DJ1N64N]

+1 for e-Power. Cheaper in the long run, lasted more than others. What more do you want? Or if you prefer slimmer one: the Kgo, since it's a true 3.7volt. The authentic Joye eGo runs @ 3.3-3.4 volt.

No, the E-Power 510 is completely separate from the eGo. The E-Power is a true 3.7 volt model whereas the ego is only 3.4 volts. The E-Power has non-prorietary batteries that cost 3 - 4 times less than the eGo batteries and last 4 -5 times longer than the ego batteries. They are both about the same size, however.

Def check out the E-Power 14650. Its awesome and everything is replaceable so it keeps cost down. Its a great PV to start with.
An EPower replacement battery costs $4 bucks compared to eGo/Riva batteries that cost $14-20

Read this: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ne-considering-buying-e-power-14650-read.html

This will tell you alot about why you might like it, as well as where to get it. I would get it from CCV (Crystal Clear Vaping)
Youll get free 5 pack of Ressurector cartomizers, free 30ml of juice, and free shipping.
Put in "ecf5off" and get 5% off the order. Its a great deal and the Ressurectors are incredible cartos

This isn't entirely true. I know the Riva doesn't have a PCM (power control module) and pretty sure the kgo doesn't either. So yes, while they both my start out at higher voltage than a regular ego, they don't stay that way. An ego will stay at 3.3ish volts throughout it's charge. The Riva will drop it's voltage as the charge drops. I.E., as the charge drops down 25%, the voltage would be at around 2.77v (25% of 3.7v). It's a marketing strategy that the makers of the cheaper made riva battery use to try to make theirs sound better than the ego that has more technology in it than theirs, even though it's not really true.

It's kinda like this. Riva's strategy would be like me saying it's better to jump start your car every time than to worry about replacing the alternator. It's cheaper than buying an alternator and jumping off the other car makes yours start easier!!! Well, don't worry that the car will slowly die if you turn on too many electronics. It's cheaper and starts out so much better!

You are correct about the eGo's tech advantage. But I wouldn't want to vape at only 3.3 volts no matter how long it lasts. The best example of this type of technology is the power regulated, variable wattage Darwin. It stays consistent with no power drop off for 21 hours on a charge and does this at 5+ volt levels. But of course it costs much more and I'm not recommending it for a new person, just because of the cost, until they know that vaping is for them.

Guess you guys haven't checked the "under load" output voltage of an e-power lately.
Yes the eGo is regulated at 3.4v, but it stays at 3.4v until it needs to be recharged. An unregulated battery may start out at a higher voltage, but it doesn't stay there. Each successive hit will be at a lower voltage. By the end of the day you would be vaping at less voltage instead of more.

If you want to vape all day without needing to change batteries or add more juice, there are only so many ways to do that.
This requires a minimum of 3-5ml of juice and a 2400mAh battery. (figure 1 hour/100mAh)
You can get a Reo or like bottom feeder, or you can use a carto tank on a large enough battery.

I would just get a eGo type-b kit. I have one and this model outputs up to 4.2 volts when fully charged and stays around that voltage until it's about dead and it will drop to 3.7 to 3.3.

 

[ManOfManipulation]

Here's a vote for the Riva SE battery. It puts out over .5 extra volts, looks great, works great, and only runs $11.99 at Liberty Flights with "ECF" 20% off discount! Paired with some Kanger horizontal coil cartomizers, you'll be very happy! You can get into mods later. IMO, the Maxi RoughStack @ $45 is the best mod - 3.7, 5, 6, or 7.2 volt choices depending on which batteries you load into it. Then I highly recommend 2.0 ohm dual coil cartomizers @ 6 volts! It's the best vaping I've experienced, the cartos last a long time too, refill after refill. But the Riva SE battery is smaller and cheaper than the mod kits, and very satisfying! Less conspicuous looking too.

I have 3.4v eGo batts and Riva 3.7v batts, as well as a vv box mod that lets me tweak the voltage. I find that even with the vv mod, I tend to stay in the same voltage range with the atomizers I use.

A 3.4v pulse width modulated batt with low resistance cartomizers will give you a great vape. If I use the LR Boge cartos on the Riva batt, the vape is a little on the burnt side. I much prefer 3.4v with LR.

The eGo variable voltage battery is probably worth looking at. Lithium ion batteries tend to maintain a higher voltage throughout the charge life, with a sudden drop at the end. You can always tell when the eGo batt is just about to flash by the sudden drop off in taste and vapor.

Based on all the polls on this and other vaping sites, a majority prefer vaping at 4.5 volts to 5 volts with attys/cartos in the 2.5 - 3.0 resistence range or dual coil cartomizers. I never get a burnt taste, just nice warm vapor.

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.

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.

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)

 

[hyperfluous]

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
