The usual: working, vaping, shovelling snow and keeping warm to avoid freezing to death. -35 here today with the wind chill.
Other than that just waiting for my ego-T kit to arrive from Evapers. Should have it by the end of the week (knock on wood).

Did my stint with selling e-cigs last quarter of 2010. It was okay, got a few off the analogs, made a few dollars. However, not for me. Easier just to vape and let others get the supplies in that we need here in Canada.

Howdy Neighbour. How is the ego-T working for you? I suspected that the tank atomizers came in around the same resistance as the standard Joye 510 atomizers, I just needed a few to confirm my thoughts.

Cold enough for you?

I read a interesting article today on CTV ... Enivornment Canada is predicting winter for another 3 months, for most of us anyways. Here is the link if anyone is interested.

My regular eGo T from liberty-flights is 2.2 ohms. Rather low (good, I think) for a regular atomizer, and not much higher than a LR atomizer.

In fact, it puts out TWICE the vapor of my 1.8 ohm LR atomizer used with a normal eGo. I really don't see any reason for a LR eGo T.

How is the throat hit? I am hoping that LR atomizers are a thing of the past.

I'm loving the eGo-T. I've used nothing else for the past month. Unfortunately, my T atty just died. No fire, no nothing. And no, Switched, before you ask... I have not checked it out - I have no stethoscope. ;)

All that being said, even if I had to replace one a month I would still do it. I like the convenience of the T's that much. I have more on the way, so the Mega attys I've relegated to back-up are in use right now (I only bought one T atty the first time to see if I liked it first).

I have no idea. I refuse to leave the house. Haha. The closest I have come is opening the door to let the dogs out, and I stand behind the door when I do that so I never feel the blast of air when I open it. My little girl almost refuses to go outside though... so I'm assuming it's positively frigid.

I work from home, so I'm not too worried about the weather. That's a good forecast for all our guys working in the Oilfield though. ;)

BOOOOO!!!!!!! *hissssssss*

Here, it's March 1 and my kids' school was called off due to MINUS FREAKING 40! Sigh. We need a chinook, already!

And to stay on topic, I'm liking my tanks, too, but am wanting to try the LR. NFN should have them soon...anybody know if someone else in Canada does?

I'm like you in that I'm more concerned about TH before vapour production. I did a side-by-side test of the T against the Mega, 510 and 510LR cartos here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...my-thoughts-ego-mega-xl-ego-t-510s-m601s.html

IMHO, I can get equal results for TH with the T as I do the 510LR or the eGo Mega. I also find it way more consistent.

It is an altogether different beast, however, and some may find a bit of a learning curve. I find it works better with slow, long drags - but that's what I've always been used to doing with my auto batts. It also tends to get gunked up easier with darker juices. Rather than constant cleaning, I've found it works best to vape a tank of unflavoured juice every now and then. With a seasoned atty, the unflavoured juice is still rather pleasant.

Excellent advise. :thumbs:

This is good news. If what you are saying is correct in regards to TH, when I get my ego T on Friday (I hope) I should be a very happy vaper. I mostly use LR cartos, so my vaping experience should be the same or better.

I'm supposed to get my replacements on Friday, also. (cuz we all know CP is soooo reliable with their tracking info) Guess that means I'll have to finally venture outside the house to pick them up at the Post Office. ~sigh~

    I recently made 30ml of PG/VG 75%-25% with 0.35ml (6 drops) of Vodka, and I must say, very nice! Sweet, flavourless and decent TH!

    I can't wait for the makings of my eGO-T to arrive. I purchased the USB Pass-Through eGO batt (650mah), an atty cover (for my 510s), drip tip, eGO-T atty and a 5pack of "Tanks". I wanted the eGO battery and drip tip for my 510 unit anyway, so figured for the difference in price, build the tank as an additional option!

    To Larktdl, above:

    I'm not sure what you mean by "throat hit." To me, twice as much vapor means twice the hit. The flavor and subjective nicotine level in the vapor seems the same. There's just twice as much of it.

    And the biggest difference is the ease of draw. The eGo T draws as easy as a regular cigarette, whereas the regular eGo still has a lot of resistance in comparison--like you're trying to suck through a straw but the straw isn't big enough.

    As to length of draw, I probably take a 1 second "puff" on the T. Just like a cigarette. If I took a 3 second puff, like some recommend, I would choke on the vapor ! But maybe that's just me.
