Dang. This thread reads like an eGo-T tank attack thread. lolz I respect that most here are the seasoned peeps and gurus of these forums (and I reserve the right to laugh at myself at a later date), but as a fairly intelligent person coming in as a vaping noob, I'm rather overwhelmed just like every other newbie. I'm sure you've read practically every noob being completely overwhelmed with the options, pitfalls, adapters, fixtures, different forms of carts, cartos, atomizers, juicers, bottom feeders, etc. I pick things up pretty quickly but I was just informing a prospective vaper about the vaping world and I had to liken it to the university shock... that first week when you think 'uh-oh, what have I got myself into'. lolz
The eGo-T with that tank system... after a month I've had virtually no leaks and it has been the absolute
perfect starter device for me. A little plastic clear container I fill with liquid, can check it in 0.1 seconds as to the level and remainder, and is about as simple to use as could be. Compared to smoking, the carts are throw-away priced, though I've re-used one a dozen times without problems, and atty's last long enough where they could be considered throw-away too, rather than going through the cleaning process. Beginners
need that level of simplicity. Maybe it is my paranoia of wasting money and/or getting wrong devices/fixtures, but new vapers are going to be put off if they don't have that simplicity. I thank my lucky stars that I came to vaping when these tanks came out because I'm honestly not sure if I'd have stuck around with direct dripping, or the confusing carto-world. I'm just surprised there's so much negativity towards the tanks. For those not happy with the tanks... did you try the type B tanks? Far better than type A in every respect, and may effect your readiness to recommend them to newer vapers in future.
To try and provide an example... I've had an eGo-T for a week. I *think* its a 510 battery, but I'm not sure. so talk of 510, 810, etc... leads people to either shrug, or have to go read up and check. Can I just stick an eGo Meda Dual Coil Cartomizer on my battery, or do I need an adapter? Cleaning method? Benefits/Danger of removing filler? While these questions may seem simple for veterans the answers aren't obvious/clear to beginners, so I've hesitated to buy. I see the Cartomizer has some filler, and then quite some space above before the mouthpiece. What's to stop me drinking juice with that tip? Do you fill liquid well above the filler, or just when you notice the filler saturated? I've read some saying their carto's leaked after 3.5ml despite a stated 5ml capacity. While these aren't exactly taxing issues... they're questions in the minds of noobs which aren't even considerations with the eGo tank system. Just trying to clarify, simplicity for us beginners is king... and the tank system is so darn easy, its perfect for beginners, imo.
Pulling it back to the actual subject of the thread... I had some gunked up attys. It was more to do with how I was using the device, I think. Its a learning process and thankfully with the eGo-T, quite a cheap one.
(This is not an attack on the gurus, some of which are authors of dozens of posts I've read and have really helped me... just want to remind them what its like to start out.)
Now... time to read up on that Mega Dual Coil Carto.
