Hey there guys, so I started V2 cigs and i'm rather over the cartomizer style and I was looking more into an atty style or tank style ecig

I've been trolling around here for a few days and I see that the eGo seems to be one the highly recommended ecigs to use so I'm highly considering it, I've looked over the liberty flights website and I see they have the 650 mAh ones as a package deal that comes with two and I've seen the eGo-t's or whatever, I'm looking for a good solid hit with a long lasting battery life but I can't seem to find the eGo-t in a starter pack, is anyone familiar with somewhere I can get a starter pack with the 100 or 950 mAh batteries?

Or do you guys feel the 650 will be sufficient?

Basically I'm looking to start over with ecigs and i need to be pushed in the right direction

Cignot is a great supplier and they carry the ego-t with different batteries.

You get about an hour per 100 mah of continous vaping on a new battery. So if you vaped non-stop you should get about 7 hours on one 650 battery.

Many people really love their ego-T's and have great things to say about them. Personally, my experience wasn't as great as some people have. I prefer an ego battery with a cartomizer (atomizer and cartridge combined). The pros of a tank are you can see how much juice you have and they're fairly simple to fill. Cons are they sometimes leak and some people find the taste somewhat muted.

You can get the ego-T and also pick up a box of boge cartomizers for about $7.00 for a 5-pack. That way you can use the tank or cartomizers and see which you like best.

I'll check and see if I can find another supplier who also carries the ego-T.

cignot.com has good deals on ego-t starter kits. They give you the option on battery size 650mah or 1000 mah and regular or low resistance atomizers. I think they also take the ECF discount code for an additional 5% off. The low resistance atties work best on the ego-t and they reduce the price by $10 choosing them. Personally, I prefer the 650 mah batteries, they last 5-6 hours on a full charge, usually means a whole day without recharging, but I carry both batteries with me just in case.

Well, when I switched to vaping full-time it was the Tank that did it for me. At first, the 650mAh batts were plenty for me, I'd just carry a second with me if I was going to be out all day, but one would last me pretty much all day. I've since become a much heavier vaper, so have moved on from the eGo batteries, but I still do enjoy the Tank atomizers once in a while

I can't recall having seen the larger capacity batteries in a kit, but I'm sure somebody must have them (EDIT, see the above post, apparently cignot has them). Even if not, you can buy the parts separately most anywhere. Browse through the forum suppliers section of the forum, there are a lot of reputable suppliers that you should be able to purchase from.
Note that some suppliers carry the eGo products under a different name. They're still manufactured by Joye, just re-branded for the particular distributors, so it's the same gear under a different moniker (for example, Totally Wicked markets theirs as the "Tornado", which is actually what I had used)

My first PV was the Ego-T, but once I tried the 510-T atomizer on an ego battery I never looked back. It gives way better flavor, I haven't had any leaking problems with it, and it's a lot better if you vape a couple different flavors.

When you change the tank with an Ego-T atomizer, you don't get the new flavor at all until the 3rd or 4th puff. And then it takes another 4 - 6 puffs to get only the new flavor. It can and often does taste like crap till the old flavor is completely gone. With the 510-T, you can taste the new flavor on the first or second puff and the old one's completely gone by the 3rd or 4th puff. The only downside to the 510-T is that the tanks aren't as big and you have to refill / change them more often, but this isn't a huge problem because you can just fill up 4 or 5 tanks once a day (YMMV) and you're good to go.

Cartomizers are also a good option, but not so much if you vape a couple different flavors because you don't want to mix flavors in cartos.

I've been using the eGo T for a few weeks now and I love it! I started out with a type A atomizer and 650 mah kit. I ended up buying a type B low resistance atomizer and have found that the battery is not enough for a full day anymore. Since extra batteries and atomizers are a good idea in case of equipment failures, I have a 1000 mah eGo type B kit with LR attys on the way. A friend who got me into vaping directed me towards myvaporstore.com, they are cheap and fast with delivery. I've had none of the leaking problems with the tanks and I like how easy they are to refill or just swap carts out.

Type A and B just refer to the tank size. Type B is about twice the size of A. If you want a good hit you'll want the LR atty as well. A and B tanks need the corresponding attys. Myvaporstore sells kits in any configuration you want.

Edit: I just remembered, vapezone5 is a discount code you can use at MVS for 5% off your order.

As others have said, cignot supply them with the large batteries which is the kit I got from them. Vicki is great and if you have questions just shoot her an email and she'll sort you out. Just choose the ego-t kit and it gives you the option to buy the 1000mAh batteries amongst others.

Type "A" ego-t attys are cone shaped and the tanks hold about a 1ml or so. The Type "B" ego-t attys are straight and the tanks hold a little under 2mls. They can be temperamental at times depending on the wick placement but do give good flavour and are pretty easy to clean (this takes about 10mins).

The only reason for sticking to clear liquids is to prevent the wick from getting gunked up so quickly. But with proper maintenance, you can search for vicki's tutorial on how to clean it on youtube, you can use whatever liquid/juice you want.
