HELLO back to you. They do look similar to the T2 but the T2 has longer wicks and maybe easier to get in and out of the tank, don't know for sure as i have not tried the eGo cc.
I'll look again, but mine seem to be very similar, if not identical. In form and function!
The picture you showed in your post has a what looks like a small plastic cone on the coil replacement shaft and the T2 does not, but maybe that is good thing? It looks like it would function the same. I don't think it would be as cheap. Just over 1 dollar for replacements for the T2.
This is the eGo cc that I have--click on the pictures to enlarge them:
eGo 2.4ml CC CE4 Clearomizer
Ego cc coils also come with longer wicks:
And they all have that little cone, methinks. This is a short-wick eGo cc.

The plastic cone is a silicone gasket that seals the center air tube (the post (air tube) sets inside the air tube in the tank) and also provides a seal for the wicks.

Thanks for all your support, boys and girls. It's nice knowing that my friends here are concerned about my welfare just as much as some of my friends and relatives are in the real world.
I didn't forget about any of you in my absence. I kept up with all your posts even though I didn't feel up to writing anything during my short periods out of bed. It was good seeing that you kids could take care of yourselves without a chaperon.
Now that I'm up a bit more, I expect to spend most of my time doing design work in the computer and prototype work on the lathe. If you don't hear much from me, just keep in mind that I'm keeping an eye on you.
I didn't think about something until this morning. March 21, 2010 was the day I began using e-cigarettes and I forgot about my third anniversary. But wait. I forgot that March 5 was our wedding anniversary. I need to tell Peggy that she forgot too.

This cartomizer is a perfect example that we need a new battery standard for our tanks. It requires an eGo type battery, but it only uses the threads that were normally used for the cone. The 510 threads are not used for anything and just take up extra space. If they were whacked off like my mods, then the cartridge could be made about 1/4" shorter. I can't say for certain, but I expect that one of my modified batteries would screw on this thing and make a good electrical contact.
Yeah, yeah. I know. Some people might think this would be another proprietary battery, but that ain't so. If all tanks in the future used this thread, then all of them would be shorter and the battery would be an industry standard.
Happy ECFiversary BR!!!

Funny you should say that. I just had a conversation with someone who had problems with connection on those eGo threads. Those threads are not machined precisely because their function used to be purely cosmetic--some of those eGo threaded heads are not making contact properly, people screw them in too tightly and all kinds of bad things happen as a consequence.
I feel that the 510 threading should stay where it is as it gives users more options, but the eGo threads should be fixed and possibly redesigned (or recalibrated) to fit new eG0-threaded heads.
Happy Anniversary to both of you!
And you're wrong--we need a chaperone! Don't be a stranger!
Thanks Tweetie Pie.
Right or wrong, I'll be lurking.
Yep, all kinds of bad things can happen because of that silly little positive post sticking way down inside of the cartomizer. It needs to be a short stubby post to make a good contact. Think of a KR 808 battery with external threads, then think of how well it would work if they were large enough to fit a tank. In this case, bigger is better and mine make perfect connections every time.
I feel that the 510 threading should stay where it is for the same reasons as you, but the eGo threads do not need to be fixed. They are not at fault and have been working fine for all these years. It's the cartomizer that needs to be fixed, but I doubt if much can be done with it as is.
I understand why Kranger went to the eGo cone thread. The 510 thread works fine for small, lightweight devices, but it is very weak when supporting larger and heavier ones. Believe me, I know how easy it can break in two when dropped on the floor with a heavy battery installed. So Kranger went to the larger thread for better stability and it should be hell for stout. I know mine are.
So we shouldn't be using 510 threading for our large and heavy devices and forget about the options. However, I do have an option for my battery. It screws on to it and has a 510 thread, which converts it to an eGo battery. Now it can be used with just about any little 510 device out there, or a whole bunch of mushroom looking tanks.
Maybe you ain't ready for neater looking tanks yet, Tweetie. That is, tanks and batteries that are smaller and lighter, yet hold just as much juice. I prefer better designs and less options to achieve these goals.
I love you BR!
Anyway, they should make those threads better. Lots of peeps are having problems with contact.
I don't care for the mushroom look either, BR! That's why I only use either eGo threaded clearos or slim 510 tanks, like Boge f15 carto tank or slim Vision mini ViVi Nova--they are the same (15mm) diameter as my eGos and they fit like a glove--with my beauty ring, AKA eGo sleeve cover.
