Ego not cutting it

[VPC]

Well thought I’d just put post my thoughts about this. I like my Riva with Boge 2.0 carto and prefer the Boge vs. other cartos I have tried. But what I don’t like is I have to keep refilling the Boge to often 6-7 times a day and I am lucky to get 2 maybe 3 days the way I vape before the 510 cartos start to fade imo and time for a new one. I have considered trying the T-tank and buying 2-3 T tanks to give it a try. The cost would be about $40.00 $55.00. But I read so many hit and misses, having to mess around with it etc and if doesn’t work well for me well there is $40.00-$55.00 gone.

Now enter the Go Go you get a carto that holds about 3ml almost 3x the amount of my Boge carto hold I use on my Riva. From reading all the post it seems this Go Go carto should last me 2-3times a least longer and a lot less filling on a daily basis so this would be great imo. All the posts from members trying the Go Go I have read are positive on good flavor, consistent flavor, no leaks, and no messing around to get them to work like I read about often about having to do with the T tanks. Cost of the Go Go is $60.00 so to me it seems like between the two I am going to give the Go Go a try. For that $60.00 I get two 1300mah batteries, 5 cartos, and a charger for almost the same amount to try the hit or miss T tanks.

Will I like the Go Go better than my Riva with Boge 2.0’s? Is the Go Go hype? I’ll soon find out I plan on ordering a Go Go and a box of Go Go lr 2.0 with my order. On the proprietary thing if it works as well as posted I will be happy. I am just a carto person so for me that should not be a problem I don’t like using attys/carts and I do not drip.

So it will be interesting for me to see if the Go Go vapes as good or better as my Riva/Boge 2.0 and to see if the cartos perform better and last longer without losing flavor.

Tks for that video AG, my sentiments exactly, haha.

The ego-t brings 50% bad reviews and 50% good reviews. In my opinion the ego-t works great and got me into the vaping world. Fill up a 2-3 tanks and I'm good at work with a reliable battery. But really what would i know I'm still new to this territory. I think it's fine for a beginner and would suggest it. I get no burning and the flavors are coming out the same as my Reo Mini, very full flavor and good vapor. To each his own, one might like this product and one might hate it. You take that risk in life.

Sorry I didn't think I was being very aggresive maybe a little harsh but in retrospect I was a bit aggresive, but it makes me mad when somone says "this is the best thing ever" when it may very well be the best ever for you, but everyone wants something different from vaping just like they did for smoking, hence the different brands. This is why I got so passionate, mis info can result in bad decision and thats what happened to her the first time with her ego.

I'm glad we've got this place to spread around the info and ideas. There's so much out there now, it's tough to know about everything. Hope we all end up where we're trying to go!

Lots of good info here, and thank you all for diffusing a possibly bad situation.

You guys using 3.3v batteries, the original eGo? if you are, try a 3.7v battery like a true EM Riva or I used a KGO 1100 that I have and there is a noticeable difference. I just got my tank systems about a week ago and use 5 of them with very good vapor and TH. I think they were not getting enough power to the coil to heat it up enough in the original batteries. I had a customer turn me on to this.

Of course as I said it has only been about a week, but have had no bad taste or clogging up. I could have gotten the latest ones also. When bad news get back to the manufacturer, they start making changes.

My ego-t didn't cut it either. The battery is good though and I can use it with my mega attys which I prefer anyways. I was only out the 20 bucks for the Atty and tanks. That is the problem with trying the GOGO if you don't like it you are out 60 bucks because you have to buy the kit and the batteries won't work with anything else.

Lol, don't beat me, don't beat me

Now that you used an ego and realized you enjoy vaping and you feel you just need more hit, more flavor, and just a better way to vape
Your next step and most likely your last step(if you desire) should be a mini reo.

I ve experimented with many mods and while I do enjoy the lastest and greatest,
When I'm on the go and I want something that feels great in my pocket, feels great in my hand,
Last at least 6 hours on battery and more with 3ml of juice while always giving fan freakintastic
Vape every time with no issues or messin around , the REO min is it everyt time. It just works and
is 510 threaded.

Everyone has their opinion and this is just mine,...so if you don't agree, I think your wrong..lol

 

[silentt]

The Reo Mini is a good way to go. I love mine already and I've only had it since Friday. They are in stock right now, grab one while you can!

Most people (not all) will go to great lengths to justify their purchase. Even if it means saying something is good when it isn't. The way I look at it, if you have to make all these self-modifications to a product to get it to work like it was advertised to, then it sucks. You shouldn't have to teach yourself electrical and chemical engineering just to vape.

The e-cig community hops from one new product to another, it seems like every half year or so. How about someone develop a product that works as advertised and then stand by it?

When I registered here, everyone told me to get a DSE901. And now it's laughed at. Well...It works...Works well, and always has. Someone wake me up when a reliable e-cig comes along and I'll think about replacing this workhorse I/m toking on.

I think, as a whole, us vapers are letting the marketers run the show. It's way past time to demand some consistency with our e-cigs.

We can demand some consistency. When we post and say "This product is an absolute POS and this is why". Problem is we have 100 fanboi's to every 1 person that will say something negative about a product. Newbies start reading and they don't know what too think.

I absolutely agree. I was out of the loop for abut a year, came back, and I don't know what to think. And I'm not a newbie. I realize we're still in the pioneer stage of vaping, but it seems we're our own worst enemy. I've referred people to this board when they asked about vaping, and their response was "WTF"?...So what am I supposed to buy?" I tell them to get a 901 or a 501, and then read up, maybe you'll wanna get something else.

And the fanboys and fangirls don't help. An example, it's quite comical seeing people slam one vendor, and praise another concerning their juices. When the truth is, both those vendors are selling the same Dekang juices.

I know the effort has been made, but someone needs to put together an exhaustive list of reliable products (tested and proven) and juices and sticky that post. That way, people would know that anything outside the list is either a POS, or not yet proven to be reliable.

And to be clear, I'm not slamming modders. That's another issue for another time.

I've been using my eGo-T exclusively for a month now. I guess I'm just lucky. I love this thing and have had no problems with burning or poor flavor/vapor either. Prior to getting the tank I direct dripped on a Mega atty, and before that my primary was a DSE601 Pipe on which I also dripped, so it's not that I low vape expectations. I feel bad for those out there who aren't having the same experience from the eGo that we're having. Have I had more powerful vapes? Yes, on a modified 601 rigged to run @ 5 volts via USB. But as a practical, portable device I've found the eGo-T more than adequate. It works well for me. The issue with QC is the only thing preventing me from evangelizing it. There are far too many people having problems for me to sing undying praises of eternal devotion to it. It is not God's Own Vape come down from the mountain, but for those of us blessed with good equipment it's reliable and gets the job done (keeps me off analogs.) It's a practical solution that fits MY needs I can't honestly speak for anyone else. However, if you're searching for the "Ultimate Vape" keep looking, this is not a Top Fuel Dragster, it's just a Work Truck.

Part of the fun of vaping for me is the hobbyist aspect of it. A lot more of the fun is that it isn't a "one size fits all" sort of situation. - I sure understand the wish for reliability and consistency, but I'm not really sure this particular sort of product can find a single form factor that will work for everyone. - Even analogs can't do that... filters, no filters, menthol, full flavor, lights, 100s, slims, little cigars, regular cigars, filtered cigars etc etc etc.

 

[butterbean03]

People are looking for the perfect vaporizer. It's not here yet. But I think it is right around the corner. I am like Vinny, I have 2 year old 510's and 901's (about 15 of them) and could go in there and charge and vape.

You have to understand we as suppliers are at the mercy of the manufacturers. We have to buy what they are selling even if it is not worth a darn. Technology is moving so fast in this industry, you would not believe how many emails I get from these guys telling me about the best new product. Tried a few, passed on most. The last was the SMART cart I bought. Thought it was a great feature, but they would only fit one or two models and would break around the mouthpiece. So I wait a bit before jumping in. Like these 510 tank carts. They actually work and work good, but I recommend using the blue foam plug.
Just an example. Not trying to sell anything here.

That's cool. I understand that totally. But you're not a seller. Nor a newbie. But I do disagree. Some juices and products have been around long enough where an accurate product description can be written. I think we can accurately describe 901, 801, etc.

For example, if a noob asks me about a 901. I tell him. It's good. Attys are hit and miss, so stock up, and get extra batts and chargers. Then I tell him there are better e-cigs out there, but good luck trying to find out which ones you can rely on.

Yes, I'm still using my ego and ego tank but lots of my juices just don't come through. What am I missing? I had thought about getting an inferno tank system but are they not just like the Ego Tank setup? It isn't my juice, I'm vaping 12 and 18 mg. What do you suggest? And I have cleaned out the atty's and it gets better maybe for an hour or so. Thanks

I wish I had a suggestion, but I just wanted you to know you're not alone. I tried the tank for a few days, but the flavor was always muted from day one. I also find the vapor too cool and I'm used to standard, not LR atty/cartos. I put the Tank aside and am back to using my 510 and kr808 cartos.

 

[sickofanalogs]
