eGo Cone Benefits

[zerocool5878]

OK so we know that eGo gives us better battery life then the std 510 batt. But I started thinking about if there were any other benefits on the eGo.

People have talked about the cones as it helps contain leakage from dripping. where your leakage will be contained inside the cone instead of on the outside of the device. I don't drip so its not much help for me.

I feel there is another benefit of the cone. I think that it acts as an insulator for the atty. Which in turn makes the vape warmer.

This brings up an interesting point, that during a vape session on a reg 510 your atty will cool off more in between vapes then the on an eGo with cone installed.

I don't know how this would relate to atomizer life span but I would be curious to find out what others think.

I just got my eGo yesterday, so I'm definitely no expert....but I don't see how the cone could possibly contain leakage. I personally think it's just there for looks. It does make the vp look better.

Some say it serves the purpose of improving air draw or flow. As tigerlily said, it gives a cosmetic improvement to the PV. No denying that. But, I don't use mine. Much of the time I'm using a mega cylinder atomizer. But, even when using a 510 atomizer I don't usually bother with the cone. For me at least, I think I like the draw better without the cone in place. Ask me next month and I may have changed my mind, LOL.

attys can leak from refilling carts as well as dripping and the cone is very beneficial for that. I like that the cone adds some resistance in the draw so it doesn't feel like sucking air through a straw and that the vapor is warmer. And it's a sweet design....you can easily hide it when your atty color clashes with the batt color.

I leave it on because I like the the warmer vapor. Never noticed that the draw is more like cig but I just tested it and there does seem to be less resistance with it off.
Thanks for pointing that out

I have something similar from GP and I really didn't think the cone would have much benefit, however, I was slightly wrong. I had bought some new juice and had tried it in an atty without the cone and it really did not have much flavor. When I added the cone, though, it was a whole different story. I actually found the juice flavor came out a bit more. This could be due to the fact that, yeah, the atomizer does stay a bit warmer for a while. Not sure though, be interested in hearing some expert opinions.

My ego leaks.

I think the cone is there for looks.

I feel it gives better air draw..

My ego leaks.

I haven't had my ego that long but it never leaks. I'm a dripper and my 510 leaked on me all the time, but now I don't have that problem....unless I have the cone off.

Well here is one I can answer. The ecigs are basically a mini fog machine. Now when fog comes out of a fog machine hot it's a light wispy fog. Now if you make the fog from the fog machine disfuse into a cooling chamber like a fog chiller box the vapor is much more dense and hangs longer in the air. Kinda same thing happens from using the cone. So go ahead and test it out with and without and see for yourself the difference.

Hope that helps some

The cone can be used as a simple juice feeder. There is a post on it.

I have been using my ego with and without the cone for two reasons. 1. I get a better Hit when I remove the cone. 2. When I have two diffrent flavors I know which one to grab inf front of me A little messy though when I remove the cone

I prefer the draw coneless. I also keep cone on one to easily tell which flavor is which....right now it's blueberry pancake in one, and banana cream in the other. YUM!

you mean your post on it? I would never try that. I like to keep my hardware clean and dry so it lasts as long as possible.

The juice feeding method for the ego works great, no leaking, no constant dripping or filling. As long as it's a SS atty theres no issue. I use one of my older ego's for it and have been doing it for a few months now with the same LR atty. Yes this atty is now 3months old and chain vaped daily.

Trying new things is how we learn new things. I have been doing it all weekend with no problems and the benefit of not having to drip every few minute. I'm not selling anything, just trying to share.

I feel it gives better air draw..

and I feel the opposite. lol. I don't use it.

 

[TL1000RSquid]

With carto's I go naked, when dripping into LR atty I use the cone since the atty gets hot by the base keeps me from burning myself.

 

[Brad524]

I'm surprised it took so long for someone to bring this out to the forums. Like I said I've been doing it for a while but never posted on it for a fear or ridicule on "ruining a pv". The ego I use is this method on is over 6months old and the atty is 3months and it hasn't caused a single issue at all. It works alot better with a LR than a standard atty, I thought of this method when the ego first came out and I got one but was disappointed with the results until the LR came into play and I never looked back.

I did figure out you need to clean out the cone. The ejuice started to build up inside and once i cleaned it i did get a little better draw....

I just received my LR on friday, and honslty havent noticed a diffrence. I will try drip method to see if I notice.
