Can Joyetech EGO one replace my iStick30+NautilusMini ?

[canzz]

Hi Everyone.

Im pretty happy with it my iStick30+NautilusMini setup. I havent smoked for a week now and I feel good. I just found out about joyetech EGO one and it seems awesome. Portability is important for me. Not that mine is a big setup, but ego one seems great. If i can able to get the same feeling from both setup, theres no point of carrying the bigger one. If you use both of them can you make a comparison for me considering my needs?

Some questions;
- Im not really into vapor, i mean its not important for me. I need a strong throat hit that can imitate the analogues feeling. So I can stay off the analogues.
- I dont vape continuously, I mostly keep my setup in living room. I go out to the livingroom just as i go for a smoking break) Or take it outside, smoke until im at the subway. Do you think EGO would work as nautliusmini+iStick30 in this way of use?
- Since my main reason is to quit smoking, i just do MTL (im using istick around 15W with tight draw, it feels fine). Do you think EGO can able to give the same feeling?
- istick 30 Last around 2 full days, do you think EGO one battery will be enough for one day?

Thanks

Hi,

I haven't tried the iStick, but I can volunteer that the Ego ONE XL battery is 2200 mah, the same as your iStick 30's capacity. The larger battery isn't much longer than the smaller 1100 mah version.

As far as tightness of draw goes, you won't have to worry about that part at least. The Ego one's airflow isn't clicky It runs smoothly from closed to open, and the range is really very wide, from impossibly tight to fairly airy on the 1 Ohm. The additional 0.5 Ohm it comes with at the widest setting is pretty much the same as sucking in air - virtually no resistance.

Best of luck.

The battery life will vary. If you're worried about battery life then you could always go with the 2200mah version and use the 1.0ohm atomizer.

What you're trading is simplicity over versatility. If you don't have a backup device already then its something I would recommend.

the ego ONE is unregulated (& non adjustable)
puts out 4.2v (full charge)
then the output deminishes as the battery drains

the iStick is regulated and adjustable power

the iStick is 2200mah
the ONE comes in 1100mah or 2200mah

the ego ONE kit has a subΩtank with two coil choices
.5Ω & 1.0Ω

plenty of peeps give the ego ONE kit high praise ; flavor & vapor production

With the 1100mah Ego One battery, you'll certainly have a compact setup. Not sure if the Ego One clearomizer is your best option, though if you're after throat hit. Clearomizers made for sub ohm vaping just aren't made for that. While you'll certainly get a good throat hit with the 1.0 ohm head in the Ego One, it won't be on the same level as the Nautilus. Same goes for most sub ohm tanks like the Subtanks and whatnot. The're made to run at low resistance and to chuck out tons of vapor and flavor. Higher resistance coils like in the Nautilus and the Nautilus Mini just do better here. Consider just getting the Ego One battery and keeping the Nautilus Mini as the tank. It's the same diameter as the Ego One tank and will fit nice and flush. The setup really isn't that much taller than with the Ego One tank and you'll keep the same draw and throat hit you're used to. Battery life won't be as good as what you have with the iStick 30, though.

Thanks everyone for their answers. Its really helpful.

My main concern is not battery. Its the throat hit. Im aware that many are so satisfied with EGO one's size/vapor production. I dont really care. It has only been a week since I quit smoking and throat hit is the thing keeps me off of analogues.

Some followup questions:
- Many says the throat hit would be better on NautilusMini. Can I get similar amount of throat hit if I up the nic from 12 to 18mg. Or maybe PG?
- Does resistance of the coil is the major factor for the throat hit, higher the better?
- Can you recommend any small setup that gives a throat hit just like an analogue, like NautilusMini does?

Thank you !

I think you'll be both surprised and pleased if you pick-up one of the ego kits if....
You are open to experiment a little with your inhale technique ie. open airflow, shorter/faster draw.
Along with drawing past the mouth into the throat area(this will allow a larger and faster draw than a mouth inhale) This will give you more and cooler vapour.

With a shut down airflow and a mouth only inhale it will be a very hot vape and potentially burn the coil leading to a very poor vape experience.

Having sub ohm capabilities in a form factor that's even shorter than some cigalikes is a very cool, innovative and attractive option imo.

If you are willing to work around some of the downsides (as we do with everything vape) you'll be quite pleased with the ego one. It's a small good looking unit with plenty of power at a very fair price point. imo

Cheers.

Not sure if I'd play around with higher nic levels with the Ego One or any other Sub tank. The way that they work ends up producing thick, dense vapor and the nicotine hits MUCH harder. My experience with the several subohm tanks I have is that approximately 6mg in a sub tank is equivalent to about 18mg from a non sub ohm tank. It's really that extreme of a difference. I tried vaping 12mg off of the Ego One and started feeling nic sick within about 15 minutes. Even more quickly with the Subtank Nano. Don't hike that nic level to get a throat hit. You might get sick.

That said, the Nautilus Mini will push PLENTY of throat hit from the Ego One. I personally can't mouth to lung from the tightest hole. It's just a bit much for me. Put the Nautilus Mini on the Ego One battery and I think you'll be very happy. And at 1.6 or 1.8 ohms (whatever your coils of choice are), the battery will last MUCH longer than with the Ego One at 0.5 ohms or even at 1.0 ohms. Just basic electricity theory, there.

Give her a shot with just the battery. If not satisfied, you can always purchase the tank later.

I know exactly what you mean by "inhale technique". I have been trying many variations and i feel like tight airflow, around 20W, 2.5to3sec, fast inhale imitates an analogues feeling the best with Nautilus Mini.

I might give it a try since its pretty affordable. I will share my experience. Thank you for your answer

Its funny how you refer it as "her"

As I mentioned earlier I feel tight (smallest hole to be exact) draw imitates an analogue best. It might be because I was using strong analogues. Im not quite sure what you mean by Nic Sick though. Does it hurt your throat, or kind of like a scratchy feeling on your throat?

I know NautilusMini is one of the best tanks available and after you said i should try the EGO with battery only I did a quick research and found out about Provari. Its not nearly affordable as EGO but considering the money spent on analogues, money is not the issue. Finding the best flavour and setup is, so I wouldnt even think of smoking an analogue...

Please share if you have any experience/knowledge ? BTW thank you for your informative answer

Nic sick is literally a nicotine overdose. You'll get dizzy and queasy, very light headed. Not a pleasant experience. At higher levels it can cause vomiting.

The Provari is a fine piece of kit, but it's not as small as the Ego One. Keep that in mind. At the settings you describe, either the Ego One or the Provari will work fine, but the Provari isn't terribly compact, and in your first post you said portability was quite important.

 

[Pr1met1me2]

Dont see the purpose in switching from Istick and Nautilus to Ego One.

Agreed, except it's a different form factor(short skinny tube) and will serve as a backup device.
Buying 2 exact same units doesn't allow one to widen their horizons so to speak, where using
different devices will help a vaper better define their personal needs,wants and preferences
more clearly.Cheers.

Yes, size is the only reason I want to change my setup. Im convinced that ego tank wouldnt be good as NautilusMini so now Im going to try to find a smaller battery for him

Provari Mini is similar size like EGO battery isnt it?
When I search about provari in the forum I only see old posts back in 2012-2013. Why is that?

iStick30+NautilusMini is great. I just want a smaller setup.

That short skinny tube is the only reason I consider buying it I hope I can find a more portable battery for NautilusMini.

Stopped by this thread because I've been thinking of getting one of these myself and I use the same gear you have.

If you like the way your Naut Mini hits when it is at 4.2v, i would consider the ego one as a backup or around town device. Soon after I started vaping (six weeks ago) with an Aspire CF Sub O, (which is also a constant 4.2v, like the ego one) an Atlantus and a nautilus mini, I picked up an iStick 10 from a B&M shop in town as a backup. (By the way everyone, if you're in NYC, go to one of the few dedicated Vape shops around - the head shop/ smoke shops are ripoffs). It is a device that is almost great. I dig the size and form factor and I understand that battery won't last all day. I've got a naut mini on it right now as I type away. I then ordered the iStick 30w as a way to push the Naut Mini as well as dial back the Atlantis, which was too much for me at the time.

One thing I've noticed as I adjust to vaping is that my tastes and needs have shifted. At first, sub-ohmming was way too crazy for me until I learned to not suck on it like a cigarette on a cold day. Then I was rocking it for a while (so I bought a SubTank Mini to avoid Aspire coils and start playing with rebuilding). This past week, I've been all over the naut mini and brought the little 10w back into rotation. I mention all of this because even though a .5 coil at 4.2v (which is somewhere in the lower 30s for wattage, I think) does not sound like your cup of tea today, you may want to explore it sometime soon. Until then, you've got a nice little battery (you said that small form was important). You might find that the atomizer that comes with it finds new life on your iStick with either the .5 or the 1.0 coil. Even if it isn't your go-to rig, it's always nice to have a backup as you're getting off cigs.

Two other options for small rigs (I'm sure there are more):
-the iStick 10. It might not get you enough throat hit, the threads are brass instead of SS, and the circuitry is B-grade, but it's small and light and cheap (about 2 or three days of smoking sort of cheap). If your current iStick and Naut Mini satisfy at 10w, then this might work.
-the ego eGrip. 20w variable, built in tank. Pretty good reviews (with a few issues, of courses).

Good luck and please post what you end up getting and how it worked out for you. I'm looking for a good pocket vape setup.

The 1100mah ego one battery is the smallest most powerful (meaning it will operate down to 0.4ohm coils)
that I've seen. I don't get out much though, there could be something else coming out.

The provari mini is pretty short, but fatter than ego one, it also costs a lot of $ and won't support down to 0.5 ohm. It is also not advisable to use 18350 batteries(in provari mini) for lower ohm builds they just can't support the amps required to fire low ohms safely. Cheers.

Thank for your answer,

I dont think iStickMini will be good for me. When i first saw iStick mini I was excited about the size. But after I try 10W on my iStick i realized it would be weak for me.
I just checked de eGrip but its not smaller, its shorter but fatter I found this photo, it seems like it would occupy more space in pocket. Has good battery and a large (3.6ml) tank though

I havent get deep into its specs yet but provari mini seems really good (its from our forum @lazyspactruck's setup I'll send him/her a PM asking about this)

Im using 1.8 on nautilus mini, do you think it will operate good?

 

[tacomenace21]

Hey noticed you never got a size comparison, here is a picture of my ego one (1100 mah) next to my istick family. Sorry don't own a provari. Had to dig out my nautlis mini out my parts box. I put the stock tank back on but normally i use the ego with subtank nano which makes it a little bit taller.

 

[Hitmetwice]

Im using 1.8 on nautilus mini, do you think it will operate good?

Sure, but you won't be able to run below 1.3 ohm(I think).
My 3 year old provari is still in perfect shape but it's no longer of any use to me as
I prefer the 0.5-1 ohm tanks that are available now.

Each to their own, Cheers.

EDIT: The P3 will fire down to 0.7 ohm I believe.

 

[cinetrope]

The Provari Mini, as pointed out by a previous poster is solid but limited. The limits are: 6 volts, or 15 watts, or 3.5 amps, or 1.2 ohms; whatever come first. That said, it is an extremely well made device that really shines when used in the 1.5 to 3.0 ohm range.I got one (the full sized version) over a year ago and have used it every day since without one single issue. I use it primarily with full sized Nautilus' and Kayfuns built to that aforementioned resistance range. I've dropped it, kicked it and left it out in the rain. It is the device that made it possible for me to quit smoking. As far as price goes it is high but in my opinion, worth it. If you go to the Provape website and sign up for email notifications they will inform you of any sales which seem to be happening every month or two. I think you may have just missed one for a Zenkote Mini or full sized for $110.00 which is about half of what I payed for mine.
