convert 510 to ego?

[champions]

Hey all, I currently have 2 full 510 kits. I am interested in the ego.

The ego uses 510 atomizers right? So is all I will need the batteries, a charger and the cone?

Is a full ego kit necessary?

 

[tarheeldan]

Yep, battery(ies), a rapid charger, and the cone and you're good to go

The only reason I can think of to go for a full ego kit instead (or similar e.g. vgo, riva) is if the total cost is less or similar, because then you're either saving period - or at least saving on a spare battery, atomizers, and carts. Depends on your budget of course. I turned a couple people on to starting with just a 900mAh batt, rapid charger, cone, and some carts or cartos. One of them got a second 900mAh battery recently just in case, but didn't *need* it as far as battery life goes for a day.

Strictly speaking, you don't need the cone, either. It just looks nicer.

I rarely use the cone since I am using LR atty's (510''s & 306's). Leaving the cone off lets them cool faster. Also can not use cone w/306 and drip tips anyway.

Actually. . .I think it looks ALOT nicer. Also, keeps excess juice somewhat contained. And, tightens the draw some. A whole different class with & without. JMHO

batteries and a charger are really enough. A lot of people don't bother with the cone 'cause it makes the atties "sweat".

It's cheaper just to buy a riva kit from liberty flights for $30.00. you get 2 full rivas for the price of 2 batteries. plus charger and carts.

Honestly, IMO the eGo USB batt is the best upgrade for a 510. It can be used as a passthrough, and just disconected from the cable and used as a regular eGo. Much cheaper way to progress. Rob at Goodprophets.com is hinting at having a sale sometime before the weekend, and his sales are always great. I would keep my eye on that forum.

 

[LowThudd]

Oh, and rather than a cone, I recomend the eGo mega atty and carts as in the pick above. I will never use a 510 atty on an eGo again.

 

[Jetmec]

I agree with LowThud.

 

[LowThudd]

I agree with LowThud.

Yup. The USB eGo has a built in charger, so no worries. You can buy two of them and have one for backup. If they had these when I bought my eGo, I never would have bought a kit. When one of my batts died, these had just come out and only Janty had them. I decided(somewhat regretably) to buy a 900mAh batt instead so I could get it fast and cheap. But, at least I learned about goodprophets in the process. Robs a great supplier. I highly recomend his VG juice. Good Prophets

Since the cone gives its own "eGo" behavior to the 510 atty (giving warmer vapor and a harder draw), do the mega atty have the same behavior or it feels like a plain 510 atty?

No, the cone has "alittle" effect. Don't overestimate it. It isn't that much of a difference. The eGo mega atty turns an eGo into a real fog machine. LOTS of vapor, and IMO the flavor is better.

Ok, thanks for the information. At least for me the cone gives a noticeable change after a couple of continuous drags.

Noticable yes. Big difference no. the mega atty kicks ..... lol

For now I am dripping and I need to stay with standard 510 atty until I make the next hardware order. I am very curious about mega atty behavior but don't like the drip tips for them so I'll stay at standard for the moment.

You can make your own drip tip out of the blank carto that comes w/ the atty. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ego-type-models/120460-ego-mega-cyl-atty-free-drip-tip.html It isn't very difficult, works well and it's "FREE"!

I saw that post but thank you very much for remembering me.

I absolutely love the vape with the cone on. It is warmer and I like the draw.

Perhaps I'm a little slow on the uptake here but I recently discovered that I can pull the cart off the eGo, refill it and put it back on without ever removing the cone. I hear you laughing.

I love the 510 mega atty/cart combination on the eGo 900mAh batts. Wow! 9+hours without charging and 25 drops of juice vaping without refilling.

Are you saying it holds 25 drops of liquid while dripping, or is it a mega cart with poly fill?
