cartomizer pipe vs. eGo-T pipe

[ksphere]

Hello!

I would like to buy a pipe, which is NOT the DSE601 or G500 (but try to convince me )

So I would like to decide between two options:
(A) A pipe that works with cartomizers
(B) A pipe that is compatible with eGo tanks

As it seems (B) is a rather expensive option , so I would like to know if someone sees big advantages of such a pipe compared to a cartomizer pipe. I can imagine that the atomizer works better, so more vapor? Taste and flavor? Flash?
I compared in a shop a 510 vs. a pipe with eGo-tank on it. No comparison. the pipe with eGo-tank vapors like an eGo-T (which it basically is with this arrangement) and the 510 is very fainted. So, is this just because of the weaker battery in the 510 or because of the atomizer?
Does this also mean that a pipe with cartomizer will vapor like the 510?


And finally, any recommendations?
I found these two: The Better Way To Smoke - New E-Pipe Kit with Cartomizers

http://www.epuffer.com/eshop/epuffer-electronic-pipe-605.html

Anyone has experiences with these?

I hope there are not too many questions in this post

best,
stefan

If you want to be able to switch flavors I recommend cartos. Did you also look at the Jazz Cartopipe? That's the one I am thinking of - uses a real mod battery and I think works with the two most popular threading of carto.

Hi dormouse!

Yes, I would like to change flavors, but I can do that as well with an eGo-T on the pipe.
I don't find the Jazz cartopipe very esthetic with the metal mount without cover.

What I am wondering as well is the price difference of 130$ vs. 65$ of the two cartopipes in the links above...

 

[ksphere]

after calling azsmokefree their pipe came out to be a "First Union F4313"
So, on the cartomizer pipe side, the battle is: First Union F4313 for 65$ vs. e-pipe 605 for 130$

If you switch flavors on an atomizer they mix in the atomizer. I means switch flavors, not transition flavors

eGo-T atomizers leave a lot to be desired. When they are working right, they are great, but the rest of the time they suck. I assume you've been to Hand-Crafted ePipes, custom made personal vaping devices from ePipeMods.com ...more than just an eCig and looked at Matt's pipes. I am in the same boat as you. I really want a pipe, but can't afford one of Matt's. I'm currently in the process of building my own. Check out this thread here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modding-forum/236977-build-my-own-e-pipe.html There are some more links in that thread. My buddy is doing the carving. I should be eady to put the electronics in this weekend and be puffin on it early next week. Any way, I know I didn't answer your question so, I will now...cartomizer...all the way.

Good Luck!

Look on Youtube for reviews of the various models

Jazz CartoPipe Review - YouTube
Jazz Carto E-Pipe - YouTube

And the reviewers at AZSmokeFree seem happy with that cartopipe and the price is 1/2 the Jazz

This may of may not make a difference, but the folks at Jazz Carto Pipe are realy great. Some times you can't beat knowing your money is going to the good guys. Pluss they have Lois Armstrong playing while you look at the site. It is a "beatifull world", as so elequintly sang by Mr. Armstrong.... especialy when vapeing.

So, what are the differences in using a cartomizer pipe or a pipe that works with Ego tanks?
Amount of Vapor? Flash? Taste?

I'm a huge pipe lover, but hadn't (until now!) seen an "e" one I wanted to take a chance on... THIS link is going on my wishlist! TY!

Here is one comparison of Ego-T vs the most popular 510-threaded cartomizer for big batteries (450mah+ batteries) - though he doesn't say what juice in in the tank vs what's in the cartomizer

Dormouse,

I was hoping for more serious comments.
The first youtube video you are linking to is not a review but a dirty campaigning for a boge, including a false show of the eGo-T. In contrast to the video, a functional eGo-T does vapor!
Since this is the newbie section of the forum such inappropriate links give a completely biased view of different systems to newcomers. What about some objectivity and working with arguments instead of such nonsense videos?
I do not own an eGo-T, so I do not defend it. I simply would like to have arguments for statements. I want to learn from people who have one how it is, what is bad and what is good. This is not the way I am expecting it and it is not helpful.

However, this threat is about pipes, so any comments on eGo-T are off-topic anyway.
To clarify: I would like to find out the difference between pipes that either WORK with an eGo-T system (i.e., atomizer and tank) vs. those who WORK with a cartomizer.

Thanks

I understand this is the newbie section, I also understand the OP is a newbie. And to clarify, any review or video of any PV using an eGo-T or cartomizer is completely relevant. The fact that this thread is about pipes is the irrelevant part. The eGo-T, tank and atomizer are the roughly same whether they are connected to a pipestem, an eGo, or a car battery as is a particular cartomizer. Suffice to say, most mods, pipes included, can use a variety of things, atty's and carts, t-attys and tanks, eGo-T attys and tanks, eMDCC's cisco attys etc...with an adapter or natively depending on the connection type.

I have seen Matt's pipes and I have seen the Jazz carto-pipe. What is this eGo-T pipe you seem so twisted up about? Can you provide a link please...

And good luck. Try to keep an open mind and spend some time on the Info pages found on the front page of this forum. Spend some time on youtube, there are some great newbie vids out there.....

Lastly, Dormouse has been trying to help you, telling her, her comments were off-topic was a little rude. We shouldn't ask for help if we don't want it.

Ksphere,
I don't understand the question itself. I think every e-pipe compatible with eGo can use BOTH cartos and atomizers. For example with my e-pipe from epipemods I actually used many different kinds of hardware, eGo and 510. I used eGo Mega and eGo-t attys initially, then switched to Giantomizers and then to eGo Mega Dual Coil cartos. All with the same e-pipe.

Pseudus,

I appreciate any help, but I do not think that links to dirty-campaigning-advertisements (in the end of the video is even a link where you can order the product) are helpful.
I apologize if my reply was rude, but I felt pushed into a specific direction by providing a completely biased comment-video. I did not have the impression dormouse reply was aimed to help newbies but to bring them to buy a specific product. Again, I would not call this video a review, but a dirty campaigning advertisement, which should not be recommended especially yo newbies.
There are lots of review videos on the web, many being much more objective than these.

I only tried an eGo-T compatibel tank in a shop, and I did not find a very useful link, the best I could find is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBoaqL9Iv_A/
You basically purchase a pipehead into which you can screw an eGo-T atomizer pice with the tank on it. As I understood, one can do that with the pipes on http://www.epipemods.com/
Interestingly, it is written there that they are both compatible with 510 and eGo-T (interesting because both having different diameter and screw threads)

I don't understand the question itself. I think every e-pipe compatible with eGo can use BOTH cartos and atomizers. For example with my e-pipe from epipemods I actually used many different kinds of hardware, eGo and 510. I used eGo Mega and eGo-t attys initially, then switched to Giantomizers and then to eGo Mega Dual Coil cartos. All with the same e-pipe.

Thanks a lot for this helpful reply! Can you tell me if you see any difference if you run your e-pipe with the different hardware (vapor? taste? flash?) esp. if you compare 510 cartomizer with the eGo tank system?

On their website, epipemods state that their pipes are compatible with systems like the 510, the eGo tanks and the mega. Do you need an adapter or are there different screw threads where you can screw in the 510 and the eGo system?
I don't think one can use "typical" e-pipes, like the DSE601 or the G500 with both??

Anyway, I ordered the First Union F4313 The Better Way To Smoke - New E-Pipe Kit with Cartomizers , which works with cartomizers, but I don't think I cxan screw in a tank system in there...

No - that was totally fair. Many people have problems with tank atty wicks which lead to poor vapor or burning taste or the opposite wick problem which leaks to leaking. The wick needs to be adjusted but is sold as if it just works. Many have also complained of lack of flavor with tanks, leaks, atomizers getting clogged up faster/worse than normal atomizers and being more difficult to clean.

The second video I included was so you could hear some of the things that guy found that made his tank attys work much better since if you got tank attys you may need to do similar things. And atomizers in general have issue of decreasing performance, cleaning, sudden death. However tanks are immensely attractive to new vapers who have no experience with atomizers at all, to the point where they are nearly blind to the complaints many have about tank atomizers.

I have never used Ego-T tanks but I have read plenty of people post problems and plenty give up tanks and use cartomizers instead (and by many I think at least 50% of the people who buy a -T tank model). I have used a number of different atomizers and a number of different cartomizers, and cartomizers are what give you that brand new fresh taste and function every time. Every cartomizer has a fresh clean atty. Every week or two when I put on a new cartomizer, my ecigs are as good as brand new.
