ego c is it better???

[dman87]

hey there
just wondering if anyone can tell me if the ego c is better than the ego t. thinking about replacing my old ego t. so my question is does it work any better or is it just the same? has it stopped the leaking problem i had with the ego t??? hows the flavour and throat hit??? I'm also gonna be using mainly vg base juice so i don't know if that will be a problem.....but I'm planning on buying a pack of kanger cartos as well cuz it seems to work pretty good with the vg base juice i buy.
any answers or help would be great
thanks!!!

They work in the same way, simply the ego-C can be disassembled in pieces. The next evolution is the Biansi Imist (ego-X) that can be disassembled even more to reach and clean the coil as well.
About leaking, using the imist specific cartridges, there is a small silicon o-ring around the cartridge hole that helps with leaks.

so what your saying is i should just stick with the ego t and save some money???

 

[Gigio]

Yes, or use those money for a completly different system to try other things....there are so many options and, unless you think that ego-t/c/x fits quite well for you and you are just waiting for improvements, I'd try other things

The ego - C atomizer is pretty cool, but in my opinion doesn't do well w/ 100% VG (Doesn't seem to be thin enough to wick properly- Though I have seen a some on the forum that disagree). I still use the cone (Atomizer / Tank / Base) from time to time on my Provari Mini w/ an ego adapter. My main gripe about them is the wick gets gunked after a while. However, the atty's are fairly inexpensive (About $25 for a pack of five authentic Ego -C attys). I use a few dark juices (Usually 80pg/20vg) and they seem to shorten the life of the atty. Light color juices work better (At least for me) and the atty's can last well longer than a week with them. If you like the Kangers and don't want to fork out a lot of money, you may want to consider the Ego-C Twist. It will give you variable voltage for less than $30 a battery.

ok thank you. ya I'm just gonna order a new ego t kit then. i don't feel like spending much money and i just gave my first kit away when i started smoking again. i wouldn't mind trying a mod but i want something more like a cig to hold and use for now and when i used the ego t b4 it worked pretty good for me other then the constant juice leaking out.

 

[dman87]

so if i get an ego c twist battery and i can adjust the voltage.....what diff does that do for me if i use the kanger cartos on it??? sorry all the questions...im a newb

 

[Gigio]

dman, if you have to buy it again...go for the ego-c

And, as artbyshan suggested, consider the ego-c TWIST.

It has a Variable Voltage battery that will improve your vaping experience a lot

so if i get an ego c twist battery and i can adjust the voltage.....what diff does that do for me if i use the kanger cartos on it??? sorry all the questions...im a newb

A VV battery allows you to increase Vattage and improve the way your cartoms work.
Without going technical, have a more stable voltage thank normal egos.

With Kanger, if you use LR stay around 3,8V ... if you have NR Kangers you can push them up to 4,2V and improve (the already great) performance

[dman87]

ok im placing an order for the ego c kit now. ill spend the money and buy the twist battery when i save some money not buying cigs.. so what will higher voltage mean?? hotter vape and more flavour? or what????
thanks for all the advice guys. appreciate it.

Be careful if you get the eGo Twist if it's your only e-cig. What are you going to do when it's charging? You shouldn't charge it overnight, so unless you get two of them, you're going to be stuck while it charges. You can use any eGo battery with any regular 510 cartomizer or atomizer. That's the way to go. Don't bother with the extra "T" or "C" stuff. Just get one with a good capacity and spend the extra money on some cartomizers or clearomizers or other decent juice delivery system.

If you can find one, get one that puts out 3.7V instead of 3.4V. That gives you a whole extra Watt and that will make a significant difference. You can get two Twists, or you can get something like this, which does the same thing an eGo T or C does, without the extra baggage.

I had an eGo T and it didn't work very well for me with heavily VG juices. The eGo C is really the same thing, but with cheaper atomizer replacement. If you had problems with the T you'll have them with the C. If not, you should be happy with it. The C Twist battery is very nice, but quite a bit longer than the T's. Either T or C battery is better with cartomizers, in my opinion.

 

[dman87]

ok well i pretty much have to buy a new kit bcuz i have no charger or anything left from what i had before. i only have juice and cartos left. but now I'm thinking maybe i should get a twist battery as well and save on the shipping cost and not pay it again when i do decide on buying the twist battery....

 

[moishesmom]

It gets pretty confusing...I have the T - the C - the upgrade & now the twist. The t & c are basically the same, you have a head instead of using an atty - 1/2 the price - still will get small drops of liquid on the battery. My first twist died in approx. 2 days - I now have its replacement & am keeping my fingers crossed. I have read somewhere here that there was a problem w/the twist-just hope I haven't got it in my new one. I do like the fact that you can dial up the volts - however, that drains the battery faster; wish I didn't like it. I stand to be corrected by anyone (everyone) that knows different. I'm still a
Joyetech gal & plan on staying w/them. BTW-the twist is really great w/cartos. Good luck with whatever you choose....

@sailorman I'm curious why there's an issue with charging the Twist overnight? (I'm not disagreeing with you, just ignorant of battery technology.)

I love the eGo-C for a number of reasons. I think it's an improvement over the T because when the atomizer heads go bad you just throw them out, versus the entire assembly with the T. Cheaper and a little better for the environment. I had similar problems with leakage when I first got my C, but the solution is to take longer, slower draws and let your mouth fill with vapor. It took me a couple of days to get used to this, but I haven't had a leak since (going on 2-1/2 months now), and I find it's a more relaxing and satisfying way to vape and you can focus on the taste of the juice more. The rule of thumb I use is that if it makes a whistle sound as I'm inhaling, I'm drawing too hard. The silicon replacement caps that you can get for the tank might help stop the leakage too. I like them because they're easier to put on and take off, and make a good seal.

I prefer the tanks over cartos too, both in terms of convenience and flavor, and you never get a bad hit of scorched polyfill when the tank is empty. The Vision eGo Clearomizers aren't a bad way to go either, but if you're new and still trying to find flavors you like, I think it's better just to have the smaller tanks. I keep Vision Clearomizers on hand for flavors that I vape more often, but use the tanks for smaller quantities of liquid because I like to switch flavors often.

I also think the Twist is the way to go. People have complained in the past about the lower voltage of the eGo battery, but that argument is null and void now that the Twist is on the market. Or you can go with low-resistance atomizers on your eGo-C to heat things up more and get stronger flavor to compensate for the voltage. I might also recommend that you get an eGo battery with the passthru feature so you can continue to vape while it's being charged off a USB port. When you're quitting smoking, it can be detrimental to have to go 3 or 4 hours waiting for your battery to charge up. Unfortunately the Twist doesn't come with a passthru yet, but I use both and love the combo.

I haven't really had any issues wicking different thicknesses of juice (i.e. PG vs. VG) with the eGo-C system either.

There is an issue with charging every Li-ion batteries overnight/too much. Phones, notebooks, etc etc.
If they are overcharged there could be problems and they could even explode.
It is true that chargers should stop charging when the battery is "filled"...but batteries discharge staying there so the charger goes on/off/on/off... endless cycle....not good for your batteries life at all.

[jerry503]

So we're talking pros & cons of Li-ion batteries in general, which would apply to any eGo battery, not anything unique about VV in general or the Twist in particular?

Right. You shouldn't charge any lithium battery overnight, a bare one or a sealed one like the Twist. Might want to look at the thread titled "Ego blew up" in this forum. If that had happened overnight, it could have been a bigger problem.

Emmm... That's a bit of a stretch. Lithium batteries don't discharge that much, that fast. Any halfway decent charger won't react like that. Even if did cycle, the current is very low once the charger detects it to be nearly full. That's why it takes so long for that last 0.1V to get pumped in. If you left it on the charger for days, it might cycle once. The real risk is overcharging if the cutoff circuit malfunctions. Lithiums have a very slow self-discharge rate. They're not like NiMh batteries that just go dead within weeks.
