Basically i have 3 standard ego batteries and a super 2600mAh battery

I recently gave up on them because i was burning attys and cartos and it bacame annoying
But i want to try again, give up analogues, not spend a fortune

I don't really understand all the voltage and stuff
can someone recommend and link me to a good drip tip atty for the standard and 2600mAh (I was told an lr would be better for the standard and i don't know what i should get for the super)

next i want to get a nice carto for the standard size batteries only

and finally I've been hearing all kinds of things about these tanks, please recommend me one for the super 2600 battery
and if anyone could tell me on top of all that what mi of juice i would want if I mainly care about throat hit (I am refering to the pg/vg mix)

and here is the link to the bigger battery I speak of just in case (and if u could give me links to this site for the items or at least keep all the items on one site that would be appreciated i don't want to have to pay shipping on 10 orders)
Super 2600mAh Manual Battery V2 for 510/eGo - $29.90 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail--

Thanks for the link. Attys are tricky, and can take some time to find one you like. My suggestion for both attys & cartos is Ikenvape. The only atty I use and have had any success with is the I06 IKV io6 LR Atomizer 1.8. Mainly I use cartos; there are many that are good from many vendors. My personal favorite is the Fusion 801 Fusion Cartomizer LR - IkenVape Store. If you get Fusions, you will need an adapter Adapters - IkenVape Store. You will need a 510-801.

Additionally, make sure you start with them wet & keep them wet. With a carto, you need to continue to add juice until the bottom of the carto gets wet, and attys sometimes need 15-30 seconds to vape without a burn taste.

Best wishes & give it another shot!!

Voltage and stuff: what really matters is the amount of heat (power) generated by your battery and your atty.

Wattage equals voltage squared divided by resistance. The recommened safe zone is usually around 4.5-8 Watts. So, if you put a 3.1Ω carto on a 3.7 battery: 3.7/3.1 x 3.7 = 4.4 W. That's where you want to be, especially when you're just starting. However, a 2.0Ω carto on the same battery will produce 6.84W; that's much hotter and you're approaching a dangerous territory where the filler in your cartomizer may burn or your atty's coil may pop unexpectedly.

You have to find your own sweet spot; experiment and see what Wattage works for you. Start low and work your way up until you're satisfied. Remember also that too much Wattage (heat, power) will alter the taste of your eliquids or even burn them. Generally, tobacco flavors can take a little more heat, while fruit, dessert flavors do better at cooler temperatures.

Here's a handy dandy Ohm's Law Calculator. Don't leave home without it.

Egos are great batteries and I'm using them all the time. I recommend Boge LR cartos (2.0Ω) or Smoktech single-coil 510 cartomizers (1.7Ω, 2.0Ω or 2.5Ω). They work great and you don't need any adapters.

I also like eGo-C atomizers that come with empty tanks instead of cartridges. They are not trouble free and require regular maintenence, but the flavor is better.

If you use cartos, make sure they are filled properly--underfilled cartos will burn, chainvaped cartos will burn, and hot cartos will burn. Have at least two or three cartos in use (they need time to cool off and rewick) and top off early and often.

Good luck.

You can get some really good cartos for your standard Egos at Crystal Clear Vaping. The Boge 2.0 and the Resurrector 1.7 ohm.

Resurrectors Linked here Crystal Clear Vaping

Boges linked here Crystal Clear Vaping

The store hours are 10am to 5pm 6 days a week. Shipping is always free.

They also have a tank that will work on your super 2600 here Crystal Clear Vaping

You will need pre-punched cartos for the tank. Same store, here Crystal Clear Vaping

As for the PG/VG mix, for a good throat hit, go with at least a 70% PG in the mix.

If you are having trouble with burning cartos and attys, it's all about keeping them wet. The cartos will not stand even one second of dry burn, so it is extremely important to fully fill them on the first fill. If you don't have a syringe, drip into the filler (4 or 5 drops at a time, avoiding the center hole) and let it sit. Then drip some more. The Boges will hold 20-25 drops and the Resurrectors will hold 40 or more. Let them soak for 20 or 30 minutes before you use them.

For atomizers look here: http://www.madvapes.com/Atomizers_c_160.html

You will find a variety of brands and ohm ratings. Recommend Boge or Smoketek.
